Located at the iconic intersection of Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues Deuxave was created with a singular vision: to bring the elegance of modern French cuisine to Boston, reimagined through a distinctly American lens.

Founded in 2010 by restaurateur Brian Piccini, Deuxave was conceived as a fine dining destination grounded in classical technique, but free from the formality that often surrounds it. From the beginning, Deuxave has balanced elegance with approachability. Chef Chris Coombs personally trained and developed a next generation of talent, including Executive Chef Ryan Zichella, who now leads the kitchen. Chef Zichella mastered the restaurant’s exacting standards, technique-driven approach, and ingredient-first philosophy.

Today, Chef Zichella continues to refine that legacy with a menu that is focused, balanced, and deeply rooted in tradition. Dishes like the nine-hour French onion soup, duck magret with sweet potato pearls, and seared scallops with fregola and velouté reflect both his precision and restraint.

Paired with a world-class wine program and a front-of-house team that delivers intuitive, unpretentious service, Deuxave offers an experience that is quietly luxurious and unmistakably Boston. It is a restaurant built for those who seek out excellence, not extravagance.
