The Boston Herald reports that Davio's is going to be opening a new spot called Davio's Cucina in the redeveloped Chestnut Hill Shopping Center, with the dining spot partnering with the Showcase Super Lux cinema complex to create a combination moviegoing/dining experience. The article mentions that the 250-seat restaurant will be separate from the movie theater--though it will have an entrance from the lobby of the theater (as well as from the street)--and that it will offer pasta, pizza, and daily specials such as lamb osso bucco, braised short ribs, and pork Milanese. The theater itself, which will have six screens and 600 seats, will share a kitchen with Davio's Cucina, offering both food items from its own menu as well as from the Davio's menu.
Expect a spring 2013 opening for Davio's Cucina, according to the Herald.
[May 30, 2013 update: According to a post on their Facebook page, the new Davio's in Chestnut Hill will open on June 11.]
