Located inside Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts, Giardino is one of the distinguished culinary ventures of renowned restaurateur Frank DePasquale, a leading figure in Boston’s Italian dining scene.

This charming café blends classic Mediterranean inspiration with a modern twist, all set within a bright, garden-themed atmosphere.

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Willy López, whose refined technique and creative vision bring the menu to life. Every dish reflects freshness, balance, and a contemporary interpretation of Italian cuisine, crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

AMONG HIS STANDOUT CREATIONS ARE:

  • QUINOA GREEK SALAD – a vibrant, refreshing take on a Mediterranean classic, elevated with crisp vegetables and edible flowers.
  • GIARDINO BREAKFAST – a flaky croissant filled with soft scrambled eggs, avocado, and bacon, served with berry parfait and zucchini fries.
  • PAN-ROASTED SALMON – paired with perfectly cooked farro risotto and topped with a colorful tomato and grilled corn salad.
  • BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS – slow-cooked to tender perfection, accompanied by truffle mashed potatoes and sautéed Swiss chard.
  • SPECIAL KOBE BEEF BURGER – juicy, rich, and beautifully balanced, a guest favorite on the menu.

Giardino is more than a café—it is an experience that embodies the excellence synonymous with Frank DePasquale’s culinary legacy, elevated through the talent, technique, and artistry of Chef Willy López.

A place where contemporary Italian flavors flourish and delight every palate. Classic Mediterranean inspiration with a modern touch in a bright, garden-themed setting.
