Owner Brian Piccini is proud of his award-winning Restaurant & Bar, Deuxave in the Back Bay.

The cuisine is strongly rooted in the nouvelle techniques of contemporary French cuisine, married with the splendor of American ingredients in a refined, but casual setting. Deuxave’s (pronounced doo-ave) name plays homage to its location at the corners of Commonwealth Ave and Massachusetts Ave.

The limited time squid ink gnocchi with lobster was amazing. The wait staff truly works as a team, timely picking up dishes and ensuring that your needs are met. They also were super knowledgeable of the menu, so much so I ventured with a gin cocktail (I hate gin) and found that the gin was just like the waiter described (well masked). 10/10

The food was excellent, and the service was even better. Nice change to have a relatively quiet restaurant these days even though the tables were nearly all occupied. Ambience is perfect.
