Restaurant designer Steve Todisco and BKA Architects, an architecture and interior design firm located in Brockton Mass., have been commissioned by Davio's Restaurants to design a new Davio's restaurant at Patriot Place, a new 1.3 million s/f retail, entertainment and commercial use center located next to Gillette Stadium. The goal for the team is to re-create the feel of the Davio's Boston location that was designed by Steve Todisco and opened in 2002. Occupying a 10,000 s/f space, the Patriot Place location includes a dining room and several areas in which guests are able to observe the food preparation activities while enjoying their meals. Seats will be available for guests at a bar near the display kitchen and a boat-shaped bar. Mahogany wood paneling and wainscoting, oak floors and accent colors will be used throughout the space. Construction is expected to start in the spring with an opening planned for the start of the pre-season in August.
