Beloved Boston chef Dante de Magistris reappears on the other side of the river with the opening of dante, his eponymous hot spot on the banks of the Charles. This time as a chef-owner, de Magistris, who has enlisted the help of his two brothers, co-owners Damian and Filippo, is still the head honcho in the kitchen offering up playful renditions of Italian, French and Spanish classics for breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch.

The modern and spacious dining room boasts some of the most magnificent views of the Charles River and the Boston skyline, as well as a riverside patio that’s just about perfect on a warm summer evening.
