BONUS: Now Open in Southie – Dalia
Dalia, the highly anticipated new Spanish-inspired wood-fired restaurant from Chef Nicholas Dixon, opens today in South Boston [429 West Broadway, Boston, MA 02127]. Marking a new chapter for the longtime Boston chef, Dalia represents Dixon’s most ambitious, chef-driven concept to date. The restaurant is centered on á la brasa cooking — food prepared over the live fire — and thoughtfully explores Spanish cuisine and culture by pulling inspiration from different regions, while leaving room for the chef team’s own creative interpretations. Together with a standout transportive interior design from Assembly Design Studio, Dalia arrives as a distinct, refined addition to South Boston’s evolving dining landscape. Get all the detail here!
