About this restaurant

Lively
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

MIDA by Chef Douglass William's is now open in the bustling Fenway neighborhood. This outpost of our James Beard Nominated restaurant group is situated just a few blocks from Fenway Park within close walking distance to several destinations including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Beth Israel Medical Campus. Come enjoy staple dishes from our scratch kitchen such as Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe, New Haven-Style thin crust pizza, crispy Arancini, and much more. The restaurant features a contemporary but comfortable aesthetic that lends itself to any occasion from the perfect date night, a quick lunch, or large private events. Vaulted ceilings, sprawling windows, a gorgeous lighting profile, and a covered patio make this location the perfect Fenway escape. The restaurant also features a 15 seat bar that is open for walk-ins seven days a week. We are thrilled to be a part of this neighborhood and cannot wait to welcome you into our home. XOXO MIDA

We are neighbors to the original MIDA location, and were eager to try this larger space with an expanded menu (pizza!), and we can confirm the pizza holds up to the high quality and consistency we have come to expect from Chef Douglass Williams. Attentive service, delicious drinks, and a refined but casual atmosphere make this a must-visit dining spot in Boston.

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner (cacio e pepe for me) and a busy but still attentive server. We were late for frustrating reasons and they held our table a few extra minutes after I called to explain our circumstances. That was greatly appreciated! The wines were interesting and our server was knowledgeable about them. The arancini is an appetizer to not miss and save a little room for some gelato at the end of your meal! The only downside is the noise level. There doesn’t seem that any effort has been made to absorb sound and the din took away from the otherwise excellent experience for me.

Was our first time at this location. We had a great experience - our server, Manoli, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as well as engaging. My wife and I were celebrating our 7th anniversary, we hope to be back next time we are in the Fenway area.

Had great hopes for the Fenway location. Love the original. The service was excellent. Very nice wine list. We started with the Burrata - it was absolutely excellent. For the main we did the Marathon special, 5 tastings. We went all pastas. Most were undercooked. I like a good al dente. These didn't make it there. There was an excess of lemon zest and pepper on several of our dished. The carbonara, which I love and have tasted all over the world, was not a carbonara. The gnocchi was nice and light because of the cheese vs potato, but suffered from the over lemon/pepper. Honestly, disappointing.

Good food, but our server was in training and that made for a poor front of house experience.
