La Morra Competitors

In 1985, at the young and ambitious age of 24, Steve DiFillippo purchased a locally-owned family restaurant called Davio’s on Newbury Street in Boston’s trendy Back Bay. As Boston’s culinary tastes evolved, he transformed the location into a destination. He retooled the menu, the space, the wine list. The new Davio’s soon garnered rave reviews. The idea behind Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse was simple, regional Italian foods with a focus on the grill. Everything made by hand from the best ingredients. Serve everything from aged steaks to simple-yet-unique pasta creations. Mirror this philosophy in the kitchen with our expert and attentive staff in the dining room, seeing to your every need and taking pride in your enjoyment of the meal. Steve has since opened locations in Boston Back Bay, Boston Seaport, Chestnut Hill, Braintree, Lynnfield, Foxborough (Patriot Place), King of Prussia, PA, Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, Logan Airport and opening soon in Reston Station, VA.

At Sotto, Chefs Steve Samson and Craig Towe deliver an honest, market-driven menu of regionally-inspired Southern Italian dishes, including fresh housemade pastas and Neapolitan pizza cooked in an artisan wood burning oven. This wood burning oven was built onsite by Neapolitan craftsmen with traditional techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation and will be the first of its kind in the Los Angeles area. Our food is complemented by a fresh, seasonally relevant cocktail program with a strong background in the classics and the utilization of lesser known Italian liqueurs. We also offer an eclectic list of boutique wines from Southern Italy. Sotto is located at 9575 West Pico Blvd on LA’s westside.

Pizzeria Locale serves pizza inspired by the streets of Naples, Italy in the neighborhoods of Denver, CO. This ‘Neighborhood Neapolitan’ style was created as a result of founders Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson and Bobby Stuckey’s culinary travels throughout Italy and years of fine dining experience. The original full-service Pizzeria Locale opened in January 2011 and is adjacent to it’s sister restaurant Frasca Food and Wine on Pearl St. Before opening that first location Stuckey and Patterson sent long time Frasca Sous Chef, Jordan Wallace, to Naples, Italy for six months to learn the art of Neapolitan pizza making. Under the direction of Patterson, Stuckey and Wallace, Pizzeria Locale has opened two additional quick-serve locations in Denver which serve the highest quality ingredients in a contemporary and interactive atmosphere.
