Talk & Tasting: CEO/Chef Steve DiFillippo, "It's All About the Guest" |
Do you love start-ups? Do you love food? The Boston Innovation and Entrepreneurship Network (BIEN) welcomes Chef/CEO Steve DiFillippo, the consummate restaurateur and founder of the award-winning Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse.
Description: This
exciting, story-driven, fast-paced memoir and business book features
intensively practical business-and-life advice. The 5.9 million restaurant
workers who dream of opening their own restaurant will value this book, but so
will anyone who loves food and the restaurant industry, and who wants to make
money and have the time of their life while doing it. It even offers
twelve signature Davio’s recipes, from Davio’s signature Kobe
Meatballs and famous Bolognese, to Julia Child’s favorite Angel Hair Pomodoro.
It’s
All About the Guest shares DiFillippo’s experiences on every
interpersonal, financial, managerial, philosophical, emotional and technical
lesson learned and encountered along his way to becoming a successful
restaurateur. He also recounts the evolution of the Davio’s brand from
its small location on Newbury Street as a family-owned restaurant with local
charm to its transformation as a popular fine dining destination. In
his engaging manner, DiFillippo shares the stories behind such strategic
business decisions such as reinventing the menu (including inserting many
reincarnations of his mother’s and grandmother’s recipes), expansion, developing
restaurant space, creating an award-winning wine list, and much more!
