MIDA Plans to Open a New Location at Clippership Wharf in East Boston

It looks like a pair of Italian restaurants with an award-winning chef behind them may be expanding to a third location.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, MIDA is planning to open in East Boston, moving into a space on Lewis Street where the Slip 65 luxury condo complex at Clippership Wharf is located. The notice mentions that the proposed dining spot would have a ground-floor dining area and bar along with an outdoor patio, and that Seth Gerber--who is one of the partners of the locations of MIDA in the South End and Newtonville--would be the manager. Douglass Williams, who was was picked as one of the best new chefs in America by Food & Wine in 2020, is behind the two MIDA restaurants along with Gerber and partner Brian Lesser, and they also run APIZZA at Hub Hall Boston by North Station.

The address for the proposed location of MIDA in East Boston is 65 Lewis Street, East Boston, MA, 02128. The website for the other locations can be found at https://midarestaurant.com/
