Chiara

Named for chef-owner Steven LaCount’s grandmother, Chiara (which means clear in Italian) is Westwood’s answer to upscale cuisine outside Boston’s city limits. The frequently-changing menus feature seasonal selections of authentic Italian, French, Spanish, Greek and other Mediterranean cuisines, as well as a fine selection of unusual wines.

The warm, yet sophisticated dining room with its imported Italian tiles, bright modern art and signature wine wall, can accommodate intimate dinners as well as private parties from ten to 100. It’s perfectly clear why Chiara’s well on its way to becoming a neighborhood favorite.
