after wedding brunch

by lyn atkinson

Rebecca arranged for a Sunday brunch after my daughters wedding. The wedding was at the Chestnut Club and we stayed at Club Quarters. The brunch was upstairs in Davio's private room (beautiful) From the "fresh squeezed" orange juice, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, potatoes (amazing), pastries, etc., it was just incredible. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end a perfect wedding. Thank you all so much.

• Pros: wonderful
• Cons: none

Only place I trust for special events, work dinners; It's so good that everytime family is in town, they ask to go back.

Poor Service and Mediocre Food

by oharatudor

My mom and I were staying in the Club Quarters hotel attached to this restaurant a week ago and decided to have a meal at Davio's. Reading the reviews we were ready to have a great meal. However, our evening began with a waiter telling us "Bread is in the oven for you." and after a couple of minutes having a basket of cold bread put on our table. We then ordered two different appetizers- a salad and their signature dish - Phillie Cheese Steak Spring Rolls. The salad was listed as having green beans in it- there was one- and the spring rolls would have been a perfect addition to the menu at FRIDAYS. We had two different pastas - Tagliatelle Bolognese which was served with approximately two pounds of meat some of it ground and some of it not and overall a dry and unappetizing texture, and Torchietti, Chopped Clams, Artichokes, Fresh Arugula for $25. This is a lot of money for pasta and clams so I expected the dish to be amazing- the artichokes tasted like they came out of a jar and there was about $3 worth of clams in the dish. Not to mention that the added shredded carrots to the dish, I am guessing for color, which did not add to the taste.

This restaurant was a waste of a meal, not to mention a huge dent in our pocket book.

• Cons: Over priced mediocre food

Disappointed

by perfume

We went with friends to Davio's on restaurant week, expecting wonderful food, etc. as we had heard so many good reviews about it. We were very disappointed. First, the restaurant was very noisy and the waiter was very loud. The food was mediocre and the portions were small. We assumed the smaller portions because it was restaurant week. We found Davio's not a good value for the money, as it is pricey. We would not go again.

a well oiled machine

by piscesdrowning

so a friend works near this place and frequents the happy hour. he said we have to go to davio's. i parked for $9.50 in a garage around the corner for which they validate the parking. the host greeted us with a genuine smile and professional anticipation. we sat down and the server was a kind of welcoming that made us think i was in his own home. every ingredient on the menu was the best on the market. it was pricey but valuable. the service was seamless. the food was the best of it's kind. and then this tall, blonde manager came to our table. he talked to us about what we were up to and how we found out about davio's. while he was talking to us i realized for the first time a restaurant truely made us feel like we were the most important people there. we are out for dinner once a week and now look forward to davio's atleast once a month.

Great dinner

by fastdriver

My fiancee and I recently had dinner at Davio?s. She kept asking me to take her there?she had heard so many good things from her coworkers. We had an amazing dinner, our steaks were perfect as was the tiramisu and service. I have been to many good steakhouses in Philadelphia and Davio?s is now at the top of my list.

I recently had my wedding at Davio?s and it was AMAZING! All of my guests commented on how nice the staff was, how beautiful the space was, and they still can?t stop talking about the food. Everyone who chose the steak said it was the best steak they have ever had?and this group is a group of steak eaters. And the wedding cake, best anyone has ever tasted. We couldn?t have chosen a better place to have our wedding?the evening was absolutely perfect!

Best steak in the City...Best Pasta.. Amazing Service.. Great Atmosphere

by justahalp

Eight of us just dined at Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse on Saturday. This is not the first time we have eaten there. It is our favorite place to go to. The Steaks are bar none the best you can find anywhere. Not only are the steaks great but the pasta is delicious. We had, as usual, amazing service. The minute we walked in the door the manager recognized us and addressed us by name. how great is that! The service was superb.. why go to anyother steakhouse in this city..

I would recommend Davio's to everyone..It is romantic but can also accommodate larger numbers of people.. LOVE IT!
