Deuxave

What Deuxave does

Deuxave is a privately held fine-dining restaurant operating under Boston Urban Hospitality from a single location at 371 Commonwealth Avenue, at the corner of Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. Founded in 2010 by restaurateur Brian Piccini, the restaurant serves Modern Italian-French cuisine translated through an American lens using locally-sourced New England ingredients. It holds Boston's only Forbes Travel Guide 4-Star rating among French restaurants and has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence continuously since 2015. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Ryan Zichella (trained under founding chef Chris Coombs), Chef de Cuisine Ryan Cotter, and Sous-Chef River Johanson, with Corporate Beverage Director & Sommelier Nick Daddona overseeing a wine cellar that includes rare Grand Cru Burgundy from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Armand Rousseau.

The business operates a 90-seat dining room, bar and lounge area, semi-private alcoves (7–14 guests), and a 30-seat seasonal patio, with dinner-only service six nights a week. Revenue is generated through multiple streams: à la carte dining (starters $24–$43, mains $38–$74, caviar up to $249/oz), a $175 seasonal 5-course Chef's Tasting Menu with optional wine pairings ($69/$99/$159), holiday prix fixe menus priced $125–$300 per person depending on occasion, $199–$249 all-inclusive winemaker dinners with visiting estates, private and corporate group dining for 8–90+ guests, gift cards in $50–$500 denominations sold via Toast Tab and by mail, and $27–$30 valet parking. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer through the physical restaurant with reservations via phone, the company website, and OpenTable (a core channel partner), supplemented by event-driven marketing across Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, and earned media in Forbes Travel Guide, Boston Magazine, Travel + Leisure, and Time Out Boston. There is no delivery, no proprietary technology platform, and no app.
