Chef Douglass Williams & Seth Gerber to Launch Fourth MIDA Italian Eatery in Fenway this Fall

Chef Douglass Williams and his business partner Seth Gerber are set to open a new location of their popular Italian restaurant, MIDA, in The Fenway neighborhood this October. The new establishment, located at 1391 Boylston St., will be the fourth MIDA restaurant, reflecting the brand's growing success.

Closing of DW French

To make way for MIDA’s expansion, the duo recently closed DW French, their French brasserie, which served its final meal on Sunday, August 18. Williams expressed his fondness for DW French, acknowledging its significance, but also shared his excitement about the new venture.

A Culinary Fit for The Fenway

Gerber emphasized that the warm reception MIDA has received for its handcrafted Italian cuisine made it clear that The Fenway is an ideal location for their next restaurant. He expressed enthusiasm about introducing MIDA to a dynamic and growing community.

A Focus on Traditional Italian Cuisine

MIDA has built a reputation for its freshly made pasta and Italian-inspired neighborhood dining, with existing locations in the South End, Newton, and East Boston. The restaurant's menu highlights the diverse culinary traditions of Italy, emphasizing the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients to create simple yet flavorful dishes.
