Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A North Shore Institution with Boston Roots

Davio's Lynnfield carries a personal story behind it. Steve DiFillippo — owner, author, and former football captain at Lynnfield High School — brought his celebrated Italian steakhouse concept back to his hometown, setting it within the MarketStreet Complex at 1250 Market Street. The result is a full-scale expression of the Davio's brand: a state-of-the-art kitchen, an open layout with a large lively bar, a patio, and a fireplace, all designed to feel simultaneously polished and genuinely welcoming.

Northern Italian Steakhouse, Done with Conviction

The menu centers on what Davio's does best — prime steaks prepared with a Northern Italian sensibility, handmade pastas, and authentic pizzas. These aren't three separate ideas bolted together; they're the signature combination that has defined the Davio's kitchen across all its locations. The wine program earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a reflection of the care taken in pairing the cellar to that kind of menu. Gluten-free versions of the lunch, dinner, and brunch menus are available, and a weekday Power Lunch offers a three-course format at $32 per guest — a practical entry point into the full Italian steakhouse experience.

Space for Every Occasion

With seating for over 250 guests, Davio's Lynnfield is built for more than a quiet dinner for two. Seven named private dining rooms accommodate groups from 10 to 130 for seated dinners, with the full restaurant available for receptions of up to 400. The Wine Room, Page Room, and Colonial Room each carry their own character. On Monday evenings, the restaurant runs a kids' pizza-decorating program — a detail that says something real about the atmosphere here.

Executive Chef Jorge Montoya leads the kitchen, with Pastry Chef Katy Idarraga handling desserts and Culinary Director Rodney Murillo overseeing the broader culinary vision. General Manager Jennifer Schubert anchors the floor. The staff's attentiveness is something guests return to mention consistently — "the wait staff were impeccable," as one diner put it.
