We went to Davio’s for a 50th birthday dinner. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere without being pretentious. The staff was attentive & patient with our group of 10. A bunch of the ladies are vegetarians & were skeptical of vegetarian choices at a restaurant famous for steak but were pleasantly surprised with a nice selection of mains & sides. Our cocktails were wonderful & the freshly baked popovers were to die for. We ordered lots of dishes & except for a couple of vegetarian options & Fusilli, Shrimp, Hot Cherry Peppers, Vermentino, Lemon, Olive Oil. The shrimp was over cooked & the pasta too sour.
The best dishes were the Atlantic Salmon, Farro, Mushrooms, Spinach, Jumbo Crab, Roasted Eggplant, Farro, Spinach, San Marzano Tomatoes,
Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Guanciale, Chicken Parm Spring Rolls in Marinara & Parmigiano Fries, Truffle Aioli & Goat Cheese Puffs.
Loved the tiramisu & the Seasonal Fruit, Berries, Citrus Broth, Mini Sweet Ricotta Cannoli.
Davio’s is a great place for a special occasion.
Try their very own Davinos pino. I had the dry aged ribeye....amazing! Great atmosphere and nice place. It's worth the money. Dean told us to put a meatball in the pop up bread.....amazing tip! Prepare to take food home!
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely date night. The wait staff and management were very professional about my dairy allergy. I had a warm spinach salad, the veal tenderloin, and mango and raspberry sorbet. Definitely recommend to anyone, even those with food allergies.
Found this Restaurant on open-table for a late night Dinner after arriving in Boston from Lis Angeles . It was past 9 P M and we were really hungry and looking forward to eating in Boston during our short visit.
All the Pasta s are made in house fresh and it was s really nice place to celebrate my wife s Birthday .
The Pasts dishes we ordered were delish as was the Salad and Dessert.
Would definitely recommend this Restaurant.
Last night was our first time here and we were on a time constraint. They took us right in for our reservation our waitress was wonderful we got our food fairly quick and it was all so delicious. I normally order my steak medium well but opted for medium here and it did not disappoint. So good. Didn't even need the sauce it came with.
Davio's has been on my bucket list since the 1990s. In my mind, it was one of those expensive places, but I took another look at the menu. There are different price points so many people can enjoy this place. The food was outstanding. Beautiful interiors, high ceilings, outstanding food, and graceful service. The lobster bisque, the 3 scoops of gelato, fluffy complimentary brioche bread, and the pasta with meat sauce were excellent. There something remarkable about the tap water. Very pure tasting. The ice tea was unlike anything I ever had in a restaurant. Lovely floral flavor. Best ice tea I have ever had at a restaurant. Service was good.
It was great time in Davio's! Meatball as beginning was a great choice and steak with wine was also awesome. Every server was really kind and professional :) One thing made me sad was the shrimp in pasta which was not seasoned but just steamed, so I felt it's not harmonized. Also the sour flavor of fettuccine gets stronger as the dish get cooler which was not my favorite.

A true steakhouse should have an elegant and classy feel to it, Davio's definitely has that going on!
Every meal at a fine dining restaurant should start with a good Belvedere/Grey Goose martini and must have blue cheese stuffed olives. I was off to a great start.
The bread was delicious and came served in a unique, vertical basket. I had to stop myself from getting a second serving.
The arugula salad was refreshingly light, topped with shaved parm and a slightly citrus virgin olive oil.
The star though was the bone-in ribeye. It was as delicious as it was massive and cooked perfectly to order - medium rare.
The cab wine pairing was excellent and of a very high quality.
There was no room for dessert, but everything looked really good.
I'll be back.
Came for a weekday lunch. Service was quick, almost too quick! We had the egg roll sampler as an appetizer - I wouldn’t get this again. Not my style, I’d prefer a traditional eggroll over anything! But could be a crowd favorite. I had the Asian chop salad for my lunch. It was perfect, nice and light. Tons of gluten free options here make me want to come again!
Tonight, I dined at Davio’s (Back Bay) in a unique way. In most restaurants, the kitchen is around some corner and down some hallway and, basically, out of sight. You rarely have the opportunity to see the hard work that goes into each plate or bowl… you just enjoy it.
But, not tonight. I chose to sit at the “chef’s table” and it was a great experience. It was a pleasure watching the good people who feed us in their own element - working with incredible pace and intensity, but also joy and levity. It certainly gave me the opportunity to better enjoy my meal, and was a welcomed change from the TVs that now pepper restaurants and eateries.
Not sure if every Davio’s is like this but, if you ever find yourself at Davio’s Back Bay, sit at the chef’s table.
