Steve DiFillippo pushes open the papered-over doors to his new restaurant space ..... As he enters the massive, 15,000-square-foot cement box at 50 Liberty, ... DiFillippo points excitedly around the room, sketching out the expansive new Davio’s in his mind.
“The main entrance and the podium will be here,” he says, “and that’s the bar, and then, that’s the ocean.”
....There’s the spot where the chef’s table will be, and the pair of private dining rooms on the first floor. Then he sprints up the stairs to the second floor, where he’s planning a function space with a full kitchen — and four more private dining rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows.
