The story
Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse at Patriot Place in Foxborough carries a story that began in 1985, when owner Steve DiFillippo purchased a small family restaurant called Davio's in Boston's Back Bay. As the city's culinary tastes evolved, DiFillippo transformed that original location into a destination — and that same drive defines every outpost of the brand today, including the Foxborough location.
The philosophy is straightforward and stated plainly: It's All About the Guest. That ethos shapes everything from the service to the menu, which draws on simple, regional Italian cooking as its backbone while layering in the bold, satisfying character of a proper steakhouse.
The Foxborough location earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2024, a recognition that reflects genuine care in building a list worthy of the Italian food it accompanies. For guests who take their pairing seriously, that credential matters.
Davio's is equipped for occasions beyond a weeknight dinner. Private dining rooms accommodate sit-down dinners, business meetings, presentations, and standing receptions — making it a practical choice for corporate events and celebrations alike. Outdoor seating, takeaway, and online ordering round out the options for guests who want the Davio's experience on their own terms.
Guest reviews speak consistently to the consistency: "The food and service is second to none as always," and "Davio's defines the fine dining experience" are the kinds of remarks that show up repeatedly. That reliability, across eight locations from Boston to Virginia, is part of what the Italian steakhouse format does well here — familiar enough to feel comfortable, polished enough to feel like an event.
