Owner Brian Piccini is proud of his award-winning Restaurant & Bar, Deuxave in the Back Bay. The inspiration behind the restaurant’s American Nouveau Cuisine is seasonality, with a focus on working with the finest farms and purveyors, sourcing out the freshest, local ingredients and amplifying their magnificence. 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.

A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations.

    We found Libertine on OpenTable when looking for gluten free Italian food on the North End. The menu is 98% gluten free and the staff are very knowledgeable of gluten allergies. Our server was excellent, we never had to ask for anything. They served us gluten free bread before we ordered and with the soup I had. The bread was so fluffy and fresh, the best gf bread that I have ever had. Our server gave great recommendations and we loved everything that we ordered. We would highly recommend to anyone but especially to gluten free eaters!

    Tasty American bar and grill food options at reasonable prices considering location. Wings, nachos, burgers, chicken sandwich and steak tips were all excellent. Churro doughnuts also a fun and tasty dessert. Great and fast service. Second time we’ve eaten here before a Celtics game and both times were a great experience.
