Brian Piccini, Owner
For proprietor Brian Piccini, the road to becoming one of Boston’s most successful restaurateurs was hardly a typical one. But this atypical journey, powered by his endless well of energy and passion for the business of hospitality has propelled dbar to an iconic status in Dorchester, and developed the unique and successful portfolio of Boston Urban Hospitality through his leadership as CEO.
Brian’s first experience in the industry came at the age of 18 where as pianist for The Top of the Hub he learned the ins and outs of the guest experience. Even while working full-time as a server and bartender, his entrepreneurship couldn’t be contained by hospitality alone—he also opened a studio and produced dance music, studied neuroscience at Northeastern and developed real estate—using his earnings from his restaurant jobs. This 360-skill set coupled with a relentless desire for discovering new places and experiences through global travel perhaps explain best Piccini's gift at transforming failed restaurants into vibrant, successful, award-winning businesses.
