    An impromptu family dinner with my wife and daughter. We chose Davio’s mainly to try a new place we’ve never been. From the moment we sat down until the moment we departed, our experience was exceptional. Thank you.

    Service was amazing— I am gluten free and our waitress took extra care to bring me bread and make suggestions on my menu. The food was delicious and even got a special complimentary birthday treat for my boyfriend. Not my first time and won’t be my last!

    Really surprising meal. We have avoided Davios for so long for many reasons - chain, touristy, big restaurant/menu, business atmosphere, etc. All things we just wrongly assumed. Safe to say our minds were changed and we were all pleasantly surprised by not only the food, but the vibe, the service, everything. We will be back!

    We love this place, our go to place in Philly for grown up indulgent dining. Everything is just right from cocktails to desserts. Last time we were here we had an minor confusion with the temp we wanted our steak cooked and I mentioned this in my review. I actually received a call from the manager to follow up and a promise that this would not happen again. And this time when my steak arrived perfectly done the man himself was there to ask if it was right. Amazing. They really cared. And everything else was perfect as well. The prosciutto was luscious, the veal outstanding and the sides perfectly cooked. The wine recommendation spot on. The dessert cart was so seductive the three of us who had sworn we were going to pass on dessert did nothing of the kind. The creme brulee was inspired. Already looking forward to our next visit.

    We had a lovely dinner with friend’s last Saturday night. Everything was delicious and those popovers are to die for. My salmon was the most delicious combination of eggplants and tomatoes that I have ever eaten! My hubby had the scallops which he is still dreaming about and my daughter had the chicken Parmesan which she had and loved too. What a beautiful building too, we had a fabulous time. Thank you!

    My boyfriend and I visited on 2/15/20 and had a reservation at 5:30. We got there at 5:20 and was told to wait until other people were seated but there was no one waiting so a little confused. We were seated and our waiter introduced himself, he was funny and relatable which made the meal very enjoyable. We started off with two White Snow Cosmos which were amazing! For the appetizer we had the sampler of spring rolls, which were again amazing! For dinner we were slightly disappointed, I had the basil pesto pasta which was good but nothing to write home about. My boyfriend had the lobster ravioli special dish which came out slightly cold and just wasn’t up to par. We both did have a dessert which again was great. Overall would go back again for drinks and apps, maybe try a steak and see if it’s better.

    It was our second time at Davio's and we found it to be greater than the first time. Our server Pirece was excellent. The food was awesome and we had more than enough to take home with us. We even gave a recommendation to some people outside of the restaurant debating whether to to eat there. When we are in Philly again we will be going there. They are not just a restaurant but a great food experience.
