In 1985, at the young & ambitious age of 24, Steve DiFillippo purchased a locally-owned family restaurant called Davio’s on Newbury Street in Boston’s trendy Back Bay. As Boston’s culinary tastes evolved, he transformed the location into a destination. He retooled the menu, the space & wine list. The new Davio’s garnered rave reviews. Everything is made by hand from the best ingredients. We serve aged steaks to simple-yet-unique pasta creations. Mirror this philosophy in the kitchen with our expert and attentive staff in the dining room, seeing to your every need and taking pride in your enjoyment of the meal. We have since opened locations in Foxboro, Chestnut Hill, Lynnfield, Braintree, Seaport, MA; Logan Airport, Atlanta, Texas & KoP, PA
High-end Italian steakhouse with an extensive menu & wine list, plus a refined bar.

First, the positives: this may be (one of) the only places in the area to get a popover which is a favorite of ours. The cheese crusted popovers at Davio’s are delicious and worth a visit on their own. We also enjoy the happy hour food menu; the meatball sliders are always a good pick.
However, I was highly disappointed by the service during our last visit. I am a regular bourbon drinker and it is my go-to for nights out. I ordered a bourbon neat based on the options and pricing that were provided to me in the menu. The bourbon was listed at $14 and we were charged $20. When we asked about the charge the bartender said it was because I ordered it neat and there is an upcharge of $3 to do so. That was never specified or stated. It also didn’t account for the higher price charged for the bourbon itself despite what was listed in the menu. The bartender requested a manager come over to adjust the price but then the manager proceeded to still charged the $3 upcharge rather than honoring the price on the menu. I’ve never experienced this practice even at very high end restaurants when ordering bourbon; in the rare chance there is a discrepancy in pricing, it always called out. The manager should have at least honored what was listed rather than “sort of” fixing it. Complete service miss.

VERY disappointed. went there to celebrate my moms birthday. they gave us a card stand, which was nice, but that was probably the best thing that happened.
Drinks took almost an hour to get to us, there were only 5 of us and 4 of us got drinks. Had to ask multiple times where our drinks were.
Appetizers came out relatively fast compared to when our entrees came out, doesn’t say much though as the entrees came out almost and hour and a half later. As well, the steak that was ordered medium, was RAW, not rare, RAW. Told our server and got the manager. Server was apologetic and she was good, but the manager did not even apologize. When they brought our steak back to the table to “fix it” the steak was rare at best still. But we didn’t wanna say anything as we were all finished eating by the time the new steak came and it wasn’t worth the further hassle.
The birthday dessert was comped, but no candle. They should have comped at least half the steak meal as well, especially with the long wait time and poor service overall. One of the longest wait times at a high end restaurant like this. Spent over $500 for poor service and experience.
Would not come again. Eddie V’s is much better and the service is 1000 times better!!

We’ve been visiting Davio’s regularly for almost three years, and the food and service somehow manage to improve with every visit. The servers and bartenders are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the portions and seasoning are consistently perfect.
We even hosted our elopement reception in the private dining area, and it was a wonderful experience. The management team—specifically Savannah and Korinna—is attentive, thoughtful, and always goes the extra mile to ensure we’re taken care of. A special shout-out to our most recent server, Mark; he was so engaging and funny that we could have spent the whole night chatting with him! We are never disappointed here and cannot recommend them enough.

Took my wife here to celebrate her birthday. To be honest, I have nothing negative to say. Everything was perfect. Our server was attentive, the food came out quickly, the flavors were exquisite, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Even with the noise around the restaurant and bar area, we never felt overwhelmed. I’m absolutely returning to Davios because the only issue I had was that there were so many more items on the menu I wanted to try! I’m from MA and can’t wait to try Davios in Boston and Patriot Place as well! Thanks for a spectacular evening!

The Christmas Eve feast of seven fishes was one of the most fabulous meals I’ve ever eaten. The chef is creative and each item was perfect. I have had a lot of crab cakes and this one is unique and the best I have ever tasted. The oysters Rockefeller also the best I have experienced. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was amazing. Diana was our server and was the epitome of Christmas spirit, hospitality and a good wine picker. The friendly and hard working staff are doing a great job. This restaurant is trying hard, doing a great job and we will go back over and over. It is in my personal top 3 in the Reston area along with Passion Fish and L ‘Auberge Chez Francois.

This place is great! We have lived in the area for 5 years and ordered take out a bunch of times, but this was the first time we actually sat inside. The service was excellent, really friendly attentive staff. Mark was our server and he was superb. We ordered cocktails, soup and salad to start. Then the sea bass and butternut squash pasta and some wine for our main. All excellent! Our 2 year old came with us and they even gave her fresh bread to take home because she loved it so much. We will probably be regulars there now!

My wife and I both got steaks, she ordered hers medium, I got medium rare. When the steaks came out, I cut into it and saw that it was super undercooked probably more rare/blue rare than medium rare. Hers was also undercooked, but much less unreasonable. It took 5 minutes for someone to come by the table, when they did, they took the steak and threw it back on the grill for 2 minutes tops? When the steak came back out, it was barely cooked any longer and the outside was just burnt. Rather than complaining and waiting even longer, we just ate the mashed potatoes and the bits of steak not still mooing and left. What parts of the steak I did get to eat were bland and had to be eaten with potatoes to even be close to palatable Literally called Davios Northern Italian STEAKHOUSE, can’t cook a steak. Crazy. What a waste of 55 dollars per steak. Pay a little more and go to Mortons. You’ll have a better meal and drinks.

Not my favorite. So many open tables on a Saturday night should have been a clue. The restaurant ambiance is super chic and they dressed it up nicely but the food is disappointing. Table side caesar + popovers were pretty amazing but it was all downhill from there. The steak and spring rolls were disappointing. Feel like their hot tower seafood (try something different) might’ve been a mistake, perhaps their cold tower is better? Definitely better options for Italian steakhouse in Nova, imo.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Refined Culinary Experience from Start to Finish
Dining at Davio’s is not just a meal—it’s an experience in excellence. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately set the tone for the evening. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, with tasteful décor, soft lighting, and just the right volume of background conversation and music to allow for intimate conversation.
The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and offered thoughtful recommendations that enhanced every course. The pacing of the meal was flawless—no rush, no lag—just a seamless flow from appetizer to dessert.
The food itself was exceptional. The house-made tagliatelle was perfectly al dente, tossed in a delicate truffle cream sauce that was rich, aromatic, and elegantly restrained to let the pasta shine. The center-cut filet mignon was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and plated with roasted root vegetables that added a beautiful seasonal touch. We also tried the lobster risotto, a rich, decadent dish that was expertly balanced and deeply satisfying.
Wine selection? Outstanding. The sommelier helped us choose a bold yet smooth Barolo that paired beautifully with our entrees.
To finish, the warm butter cake was a revelation—crisp on the outside, soft and fragrant inside, served with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla bean gelato that completed the evening on a perfect note.
In a city filled with fine dining options, Davio’s stands out for its consistency, quality, and refined hospitality. We will absolutely return and recommend it wholeheartedly for business dinners, celebrations, or a romantic evening out. Bravo, Davio’s

Lovely evening spent celebrating our dozenth anniversary. We had a perfectly cooked calamari, the hot peppers were a delicious, briny bite among the squid. We also shared the Brussels sprouts and goat cheese tots. Our dinners were of the meatiest prawns amd succulent sea bass. All the dishes were perfectly cooked and well balanced. Lilly, Our server, made great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed.
