It has been a long time since the Mrs. and I spent the entire day in town, enjoying the city and doing a little shopping.Location wise, Davio's is conveniently located within walking distance from all the shopping on Newbury Street, and from the Prudential Center.Additionally, once the weather gets warmer, it's perfect walking distance to Boston public gardens. (Great way to walk off all the guilty pleasures of desert). Beyond a delicious meal, their service was second to none. From the moment, my wife and I stepped into the restaurant, we were treated as though we were VIP. The host was very kind and asked if he could take our jackets, which was nice to sit in our chairs without having our jackets getting in the way. Although we did not have a reservation, we did not have to wait long for a seat that day, and the bar was a great place to wait and have a drink. Love the popovers that they served before our meals. They were hot and chewy that we had to ask for another basket to enjoy. When our meal came, it looked like art. It was so beautiful. Beyond the fantastic appearance, each dish was amazing. The clam chowder and lobster bisque was sweet and creamy, with strong flavors of clam and lobster in each respective dish. We shared the Meatball, which we later found out that it's made from a special mix of veal and Kobe beef. The soft texture and flavor packed in this dish is something worth trying. Definitely I great place to come when in town. We will be back again soon.

We were in Boston and decided on Davio's for an early. I personally love this Back Bay restaurant but think it can be a hit or miss. Typically I order the fillet but instead I ventured out and tried the braised short ribs and to my surprise they were amazing with the roasted potatoes and arugula salad it was the perfect meal. The service as always and the reason I come back was excellent. Glad we wandered in. The amazing meal was the perfect way to end the weekend!

Had an absolutely tremendous meal here! Everything from the bread service (gf bread was amazing), to the service, to the entrees, and sale room for a gluten free diner was top notch. The steak was a top 5 steak for me.....just incredible. Ambiance was appealing to "the oldSchool steak house diner" as well as those that like a trendier look. Hard to pull off, but they did! Highly recommend

Stopped on for lunch on our walk back to the hotel. Bolognese was delicious and so was the pastrami sandwich with a side of arugula salad. It is a very nice restaurant and great service!

Had a city hall wedding ceremony with my wife: It was just us and our daughter. Came here for dinner that night and it's a lifetime memory. They took care of us, even though we were trying to play it down, they made us feel special. Food is something we are still talking about today and it was 5 months ago. Service was amazing, it was real people that took care of us, made us feel special. The setting was appropriate, the place is not a instagram hangout. Overall a premium experience and we were very well taken care of. My old boss Herb Chambers was right about this place.

Davio's offers, upscale Italian dining, in the heart of Boston proper, it's affluent Back Bay. It's close enough to the theater district to catch a meal before your show.Sadly, on the day we came for lunch, the service was very, very, very slow... Even though the place was empty. It took a half an hour for us to get our check, after we asked for it, and my friend was late for her doctors appointment. My friend dines there often, and claims this was atypical. I can only review my experience.I ordered the gluten-free pizza, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was pretty good. Keep your expectations realistic. The crust is gluten-free, and not gonna taste like Italian bread. But, it did taste like a chewy pastry bread. THE DEAL: if you're looking for some of the best gluten-free pizza in Boston, it might be at Davio's!

Food was good, steaks aged & prepared well. Side dishes were also excellent. Cocktails, cocktails and full bar provided. Dined just as lunch menu was closed/closing but dinner menu was offered. Ambiance & decor was spacious. Not many dining except one other table. Service was decent. Waitress was cordial but suspected slight attitude esp when speed talked what was offered on the dessert cart.

Nice Italian restaurant in Boston.Came here to celebrate a dear friend's birthday! This place is her fave restaurant in Boston. The bread is so yummy especially when it's right out of the oven!!! The food was delicious and flavorful too! Our server was attentive and did something special for our friend's birthday! What a great touch!! I would definitely come back to try other menu items.

Slow service. Had to wait 10 minutes before they even gave us water, and we had to ask just to get the water. Nothing came out hot, probably because the service was so slow. Overpriced for the quality of the food, even if it came out hot, it just was not good. Will not be going back.
