Avila Modern Mediterranean is a bright spot in the city's exciting dining scene. It's the latest from Steve DiFillippo, owner of Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, one of Boston's most popular and successful restaurants.
Avila is named in honor of DiFillippo's mother in a nod to her maiden name. Avila Modern Mediterranean menu is inspired by her many dishes that originated from her family's native land, the Azores.
Avila Modern Mediterranean is a stunning new restaurant of approximately 8,000 square feet. The restaurant was designed by Steve Todisco of Design Resources in Lynnfield, Mass. The ceilings in the main dining room soar and the room fills up with tantalizing aromas wafting in from the open kitchen. The dining area is warmed in hues of golden yellow, cinnamon and terra-cotta.

Sharing ownership with Davio's, which is located down the street and sports a similarly pricey menu, Avila features dishes from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and France. Fresh, seasonal ingredients dot the menu, and most items are made in-house (hand-rolled gnocchi and fruity sorbets). Soft colors and lots of natural light make for a welcoming dining environment. Those seated near the bustling open kitchen or handsome bar have plenty to look at.
