Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

We're in town for a client meeting and asked the hotel staff for a dinner recommendation. We all love steak and he recommended Davios. Italian for steak? We'd never heard of such a thing. But we'd give it a try. We're glad we did. The service was top-notch. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She got our drinks, salads and entrees out to us in a timely manner, but never did we ever feel rushed. Everything was delicious. The steaks were cooked to perfection, (two ribeyes and a N.Y. strip) and the side dishes were plenty to share. We got the grilled asparagus, horseradish mashed potatoes and spinach with pine nuts. The spinach could have been chopped a little finer, but that's a minor complaint. Overall a great dining experience and if we're back in the area, we'll be back here for dinner, too.

My husband and I had a great time at Davios. Service was excellent - our server was not afraid to give great recommendations and truly seemed to love her job. We started with the Parma Prosciutto with Burrata and it was mind blowing! The prosciutto was sliced perfectly and was so fresh, and the burrata - so creamy! For dinner I had the filet and my husband the rib eye. My steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, but my husband's rib eye was.. well.. a very thin cut. Not what he was expecting at all. It was the thinnest cut I have ever seen. He claimed it did taste great though. We tried the Davios steak sauce and the gorgonzola sauce - they were both ok, but again the theme here was thin. We were both expecting much thicker sauces. Next time we would skip them as they were not needed anyway. For sides we got the mushrooms and truffle mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was excellent but the mushrooms were bland - no flavor at all. For desert we got the panna cotta and it was just what I expected - creamy, full of flavor and fresh. The server even had a rock hand drawn on it as we shared with her we were going to the motley crue concert that evening. Overall service was superb and most parts of the meal were excellent. We are looking forward to come back this winter and try a non-steak dish.

Always enjoy myself when I have dinner here. We usually eat at the bar. The staff are friendly, polite, fun and knowledgeable on the food, wine and cocktails. The food is excellent. I have been trying new dishes (to me) and have enjoyed all of them.

Ridiculously expensive for a restaurant in a mall... had a much, much better meal the night before at Mare E Monti Trattoria in Worcester at less than half the price. Horrible acoustics; extremely loud and very difficult to have a conversation inside... so we sat outside with no table cloth and a lovely view of the parking lot at the mall. Ordered the Buffalo chicken spring rolls... very, very little chicken inside... bad choice. Ordered the braised short rib as my entree... it was good, but not great. Lots of a la carte entree choices that require you to spend an additional $7-$10. on sides. The food wasn't bad, but an absolutely terrible value. I would never eat there again.

My close friend and I had dinner last night and were treated to outstanding service and food. Our waitress, Jen, was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the wines and food options open to us. Our water glasses were kept always full. We had great conversation. Overall the experience was excellent. When go there for dinner, please look up Jen

Returned last night with same couple at last review. We had 6 pm reservations but not necessary, was not busy on a Sunday evening. We were promptly seated to a corner table that we requested. Our waitress was Johanna and did an outstanding job, she was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Wives had the Halibut and may have been slightly over cooked but not bad. I had the double thick pork chop and it was outstanding, Bob had the pasta special and he said it was very good. Sides, Brussels sprouts a little tough, told the manager, green beans and mushrooms were very good. Excellent wine list,we had two bottles of William Hill Sonoma Two martinis one Manhattan, well prepared but need to serve larger up glasses. Portions small! Need to serve better coffee! Overall, outstanding service on a slow night, food much improved over last visit. We will return!

I've been to Davio's several times, including last night. I cook as well as, if not better than the cooks at the many, many restaurants I've been to, so I am a very discerning fine diner. I have nothing but good things to say about Davio's, from the physical space,to the atmosphere, the food and the service. The menu is a varied mix of traditional Italian and modern American, from tagliatelle bolognese to prime steaks. The wine list is big and varied enough to satisfy all but the snobbiest of wine snobs. And a shout out must go to Jen S. who has waited on me at least twice. She's very helpful with menu choices, has a quick wit and charming personality and is all around one of the best servers I've ever had in 35 years of fine dining. High marks for everything!

My friend and I came here for Dine Out Boston earlier this week. The service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. We each started by ordering a drink. I ordered the Maple Manhattan. (like a regular Manhattan, but with Maple Bourbon and a black cherry.) My friend got the Basil Gimlet. We each tried a little bit of each other's. My drink was my favorite of the two. For our appetizers, she got the Beef Carpaccio and I got the Fried Calamari. Again, we each tried a little bit of each other's. I love calamari, and had never tried Beef Carpaccio before. I loved both. For our entrees, she ordered the Prime Rib with Goat Cheese mashed potatoes. (an option on the Dine Out Menu, which was $10 more than ordering one of the other 3 options. Worth It.) I ordered the Gnocchi. While my gnocchi was delicious, the Prime Rib was superb, and perfectly cooked! For dessert, we each ordered the Manjari chocolate mousse, and it was fantastic. 2 "Dine Out" meals (including a $10 supplemental entree), 2 cocktails, tax, and tip came to about $60-$70 per person. It's definitely a lot more than I normally spend on going out to dinner, but Dine Out Boston is one of my favorite times of the year, and I like to splurge once in a while. I'll definitely return, either for another Dine Out Boston meal, or for a special occasion.

Service Was pretty slow. Spring rolls are not good..I don't care what other reviews say about them..ordered the sampler.(table of six that agrees) And the waitress actually informed us that they come from an outside vendor and that is one of the only things they do not cook in house. And you can actually buy them frozen in the grocery store. Roasted chicken was cooked pretty good, came with a Gravy/sauce that was very tasty. (It actually made the dish really good) Filet mignon was not that great, not very soft at all. Tuna was really good. Organic salmon was plain. Butternut squash risotto was ok. Asparagus was good. Tiramisu was really good. Pop overs were good too. Plenty of parking. They have a pretty good kids menu as well. Nice bathrooms. Big menu .

So, I've been to three of these, NYC, Boston and now Lynnfield. Lynnfield is getting a 2 because the servers were really nice. but wow they can't cook a steak. Best described as shriveled and 10 minutes past well done. I was at a function where 40 people got a ribeye that should never have left the kitchen. The restaurant was empty on top of it so there was no excuse especially since the dining room held at least double that.
(2)Maria O.
I've been to the Lynnfield location about a half dozen times. The food was mind blowing and the service was top notch the first time I went which was in 2013. Since that time I have found the food to be just alright and the service extremely inconsistent. It wasn't for a lack of staff or that the place was crowded. In fact I saw 5 staff members to handle 5 parties on the patio yet we waited 20+ minutes for a drink. There is a complete lack of coordination between servers. You are approached multiple times by different servers asking the same question. This is a higher end restaurant and therefore I would expect higher end service. The only exception would be the bar staff and host station staff. They are attentive and professional.
(2)Sue S.
Delicious food, wonderful staff, and never felt rushed. From the hostess to the bartender, and our waiter we were greeted warmly and treated exceptionally well. Food was outstanding. Will return again and again.
(5)Cindi W.
At first glance I thought pricey....but the appetizers were huge, so who needs a main? The burrata was the whole thing, nice a creamy and not watery. Accompanied with ample prosciutto, fruit, and a tomato salad. The chicken livers were moist and another huge portion. The chopped salad sounded great but was more about texture than flavor. Swordfish and steak were cooked fine. Corn pudding again sounded great but needed flavor. As did the pasta. When they brought the bill that's when flavor happened. They gave us some kind of fudge with an overwhelming coffee flavor. For entertainment the waitress dropped a glass of red wine in the lap of a customer who was wearing white pants and less than amused.....is probably go back...maybe!
(4)Kerri Y.
Overall good- good food, good service, good ambiance, but I expected more... I may have ordered badly (that may have been my downfall) but I would expect a restaurant like Davios, there is no bad choice. There were highlights of course. For an appetizer we ordered the meatballs- which were delivered to the table very quickly. These were large meatballs (especially for an appetizer), covered in tasty tomato sauce and exceptionally delicious. I would recommend these in a heartbeat. Here comes my downfall.. I should have got steak. My date ordered the 8oz filet with a side of horseradish mashed potatoes and a side of mushrooms. I should have got a filet- why oh why did I not order the filet. Instead I ordered veal with spinach and polenta (Sautéed Veal Tenderloin, Prosciutto, Shallot Polenta, Sautéed Spinach, Marsala Sauce ). His delicious dish- the steak was amazing, melt in your mouth, cooked perfectly, YUM. The mashed potatoes- some of the best I've had. The horseradish was prominent but not overpowering. They were creamy but still fluffy. Roasted mushrooms (sliced portobellas) were decent- they were seasoned well. On to my dish... the veal presentation was surprising. It came out as 3 round 2-3 inch high circles on a bed of spinach. The polenta was just a sauce under the spinach, a garnish, not what I would consider polenta at all. The veal dish was tasty enough. No complaints, probably a 3 star dish. But there is no comparison to the meal my date ordered. If mine was a 3 out of 5. His was a 6 out of 5. Dessert was a decadent peanut butter cake thing- very tasty. So I had ordering regrets... still, days later.. maybe next time I'll smarten up. And we were never offered bread- do they have bread? There were bread dishes and butter knives.....

We went there for Valentines Day where we had both oustanding service and food. Recently we went for my birthday which aslo fell on Father's Day and it was horrible. The waiter was completely unengaged, and failed to explain anything on the menu. We both got the Lobster bisque which was tasteless...tasted like they used aot of flour to thicken it. We both got filet mignon, mashed potatoes and mushrooms, all tasteless as well. For the amount you pay youd figure they would make sure every dish was outstanding. We wont be back here again.
(1)Mike M.
We visited for a special occasion. The place was hopping and very loud. We were seated near the kitchen and I wasn't thrilled with the table - every server bumped or touched one of the chairs as they rounded the corner - plus it was a main thoroughfare for patrons on the way to the restroom. The menu was great. Food portions were HUGE. For apps we split the frissee salad and mushroom dish. For mains the bronzino and short ribs, plus a side on gnocchi. All fantastic. Dessert was bland and a total let down. And how are "spring rolls" trademarked by davio's? Nothing screams "Northern Italian" cuisine more than a spring roll I guess.
(4)Jay D.
The meal was great the service was great Ayse B and Jen S were great ask for either for your server price of meal and drinks a bit high but quality of food top notch Great ride from Hartford CT Great place to celebrate special invent Thanks for great time on my birthday
(5)Nathaniel L.
I've been to this Davio's location three times now and each time they've been consistent. Great service - mediocre food. After reading other reviews on Yelp it seems I'm not alone in my experience. My expectations have been justifiably high based on their reputation and higher than normal prices. I don't mind paying extra for a great meal but so far the quality hasn't come anywhere near the cost in my opinion. The presentation of the food is excellent but the portions are small and uninspiring. My three separate meals were the Sauteed Veal Tenderloin, 12oz Filet with Horseradish Whipped Potatoes, Goat Cheese Puffs and lastly Spring Roll Sampler and Truffle Fries. The Tenderloin was chewy and undercooked. The Filet was overcooked, whipped potatoes had way too much horseradish and the goat cheese puffs were not puffy at all (I expected something crispy on the outside with an airy/gooey texture inside). The Spring Roll Sampler and Truffle Fries might be the final nail in the coffin for me. Again, presentation is unique but that's where it ends. I kept trying the different types and waited for one to impress me to no avail. In fact I took one bite of the shrimp flavored roll and nearly had to spit it out due to it's overwhelming fishiness. Truffle Fries for $9 were maybe slightly over the amount in a 1 cup measuring size cup. The waiters, bartenders and hostesses have been great for all three visits. Unfortunately for them I don't see any reason for me to return for a 4th chance.
(2)Deb R.
First time trying this place. Atmosphere and staff were great. Jen S took care of us, she was friendly and gave us excellent service. Pop overs were delicious. We started with the cold cut platter with cheese and balsamic vinaigrette, and also the crab cake. I had the fussili with shrimp and my husband had NY sirloin everything was great! Price point is a bit high but fair especially for the quality of the food and experience. I also appreciated the music which was a classic rock. wror/magic 106.7 type of selection. Overall I would definetly go back! Anyone else who finds this helpful ask for Jen S !
(5)Michael C.
Had high expectations based on reputation. Have been three times and had two bad experiences on the food quality. Due to location, Davios is pretty busy but that's no excuse for poor quality out of the kitchen based on the prices they charge. When you pay $46 just for a cut of meat - cook it the right temperature please. I even specifically asked that they not over cook it. Whoops. Great bartenders, good service, solid menu but don't waste your money on steak at this 'Steakhouse'.
(2)Joseph M.
Great service, flavorful steaks and drinks were spot on! Our new neighborhood go-to place!

Just conducted a training meeting here-60 people, superb food, superb service , superb all around!!! Thank you Tricia-Stephanie -Dylan-Alexis!!!!
(5)Norman A.
Great experience highlighted by the attention we received from Brian Shue. Visually spectacular and delicious swordfish dinner and bouillabaisse seafood stew. Pastry puff rolls were addictive.
(5)Michael C.
It appears that the number of negative reviews of Davios is unwarranted. Many of the negative reviews are by gray heads or by folks with a disproportionate number of negative reviews. Here is my take on this place: Service: Really top notch service. These folks really know what they are doing. Parking: Even on a very busy Friday night parking is easy to find. Food: The food here is excellent. The spring rolls are fantastic. It was late; after 9 Pm when we ate so I only had the spinach salad. It too was excellent. I did have desert which was a mint sorbet. It was tremendous. Drinks: They pour a mean martini. Atmosphere: Here is where they lose a star in my opinion. The restaurant is incredibly loud. They really need to address the acoustics. It is hard to have a conversation given the noise level. Price: Since I was not paying the price was perfect!

Market Street in Lynnfield is really coming along, with all these different restaurants ! Davio's is not as classy dressed as you think, you could go in with jeans and a nice top. Decor is nice, large bar area, high tops, tables, and private function rooms. I had dinner in the wine room, it should be called wine view as there is only wine on one half of one of the walls. Service was excellent ! Great explanation of dishes and specials. 3 different kinds of spring rolls, calamari, tuna tartar, meats/cheeses, special squash risotto for appetizers; all were excellent especially the risotto !! (Still thinking about it) I had a pasta dish for my entrée with lemon ricotta in the tortellini - to die for ! Huge dessert cart, and I swear you have to just get one ! Place was great, will be back many more times for sure !
(5)Kristin J.
Last night the female (older blonde) bartender was rude and quite obnoxious. I came there with a friend, and one was joining us soon. Seating at the bar was the issue. She was making passive aggressive comments and acting quite put out that one more (unexpected) person was coming... Once the friend showed up and decided she would stand instead of sit, this rude bartender exclaimed: "MY! How things change quickly." (In reference to we not now needing a third chair.) This bartender went out of her way to be rude. I'd never go back to Davio's again to be treated so disrespectfully.
(1)V L.
Had a great dinner here last Friday, definitely a bit more casual than the Boston location but that doesn't reflect in the food or the service. Service was great from beginning to end. We shared the gnocchi and mushroom appetizer pasta, my husband ordered the rib eye for his main course which was cooked perfectly and I got the grilled flat iron steak with horseradish potatoes, both dishes were on point. There is a dessert cart to pick from, we only tried the cannoli, it was ok. Definitely be back for dinner or a drink.

Good Morning Trish, I wanted to be able to provide over to you feedback from my daughter's confirmation held yesterday at Davio's. I wanted to thank you and all of Davio's for providing over to my family event such an amazing memorable day. I am a first-generation Italian-American and I come from a truly traditional tough Italian family who rarely wants to go to Italian restaurants for dinner because the thought is that no restaurant can provide such an authentic Italian experience. They were all so extremely happy and impressed with all the food, service, and everything down to the finest small detail - the espresso :) A few of our favorite highlights, the wine room was so simple, elegant and intimate. The food was truly exceptional and exquisite and the service was in our family's opinion second to none. All of the staff so attentive with every single detail. Many of my family members referring to the service and the whole experience as being regal :) I will most certainly return to Davio's for any future family event as well as making sure to recommend to friends and family. Thank you Davio's for sharing in one of our life's special family memories and making it truly memorable - my daughter's confirmation. Best regards, Carla
(5)Jules K.
The service was nice, my waitress Peggy was attentive and sweet.. The food was not that impressive.. Ribeye was drowning in sauce and chicken was a bit dry. The dessert which was a lemon cake with gelato was so/so. The sangria was great! It was not a bad experience but not that great either. The location is nice though.. A nice break from the city
(3)Brian G.
Food was so so. The bill was insane. My wife and I have no problem spending a lot of money on a dinner. We go out to eat once a month and prefer nicer restaurants so the price wasn't a deterrent. We were told the spring rolls were a "must." I'm pretty sure you could buy similar rolls at any grocery store's frozen aisle and it would be the same. Impressed... I was not. The service was okay but it was a busy Saturday night so I'll cut them some slack. They seated my wife and I at a table for two. We were so close to the tables on either side we could pretty much hear their conversations word for word. For the dough we spent... there are much better options.
(2)Annoyed C.
Not bad, but still plenty of room for improvement. Ambience - too noisy for a fancy place. Room needs some divisions. Feels like a cafeteria right now. Popovers - not as good as in Strega. Too burnt. Chopped salad - too crunchy. Bacon is crunchy enough, go with regular soft chickpeas. Duck sausage - very good, but WAY too much mostarda. It's not a dessert. It was so sweet that it made me not want any dessert afterwards. Gnocchi - again very good, but why so much garlic? It's potato gnocchi, not garlic. Veal - have had better. Service - pretty good and fast.
(2)Mike R.
Went for lunch today. First time since my last experience which was not great. Overall the food is just okay but yet not as good as comparable restaurants in the area and it's more expensive. The lunch menu is lacking. You can either get a sandwich / pizza or a dinner entree. There really aren't any smaller versions of the dinner entrees. So in the end, you either pay $13 or $26+, And there isn't much in-between. Capital Grille for example has a great lunch menu with combo options in the $18 to 20 range that combine soup salad and even steak with service and quality far beyond Davio's. Also beware, I ordered a Coke with my meal and found it interesting that they brought me an 8 ounce bottle of coke with a glass. In other words....no free refills. If you want more... well, you need to buy another bottle for $3. And the server did not make us aware of this. For lunch I got the grilled chicken BLT, with a side of fries. It was fine. It was a pressed panini with chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato. I would have expected the chicken to be freshly cooked and then added to the BLT but it wasn't. As I bit into the sandwich, the chicken was noticeably cold. Again, this is not horrible, and something I would totally expect from Panara but not from a restaurant that positions itself as "fine dining". I honesty could have gotten a similar sandwich at Pananra with respect to taste and quality but the price would have been substantially cheaper. My wife was in the mood for pasta which shrimp, a $26 dish. She thought it was okay but thought the shrimp lacked flavor and said the pasta was sour. Service was okay. But our server did not inform us of the no refills on the coke. But compared a high end restaurant (lunch or otherwise) where the servers come by and brush up bread crumbs and put your napkins on your lap... this was not that. It was comparable to the service you would find at a Chili's. They were pleasant. They take your order and then come back in the middle of the meal and ask how it is. All very standard. I gave two stars because it falls far short when compared to restaurants in the fine dining category (Landana, Capitol Gille) in terms of price, quality and service. If they lowered their prices and positioned themselves as a more refined version of Berticcis I would have given them a higher rating but given the price and other options they just fall far short. Better options: Landana's Brunch Menu offers a lunch portion of their Rigatoni with Bolognese sauce for $14. The only similar option at Davio's is their Tagliatelle Bolognese, Braised Veal, Beef, Pork, Tomato Sauce for $22. I am assuming it is a dinner portion given the price. Capital Grille has a number of three course lunch options for $18 Both Landana and Capital Grill have amazing service where they place napkins on your lap and brush up bread crumbs and the food quality is also better. I cant imagine either restaurant putting cold chicken inside a panini. Both seem to cook everything to order, even at lunch. And lets not forget about the free refills at both.
(2)Robin G.
This was my 2nd time at Davios. The first time it was so unbelievably loud but this time we went really early and it was wonderfully quiet. I wasn't that impressed with the filet mignon this time or rather the filet was fine but the wine sauce was really salty this time. I do have to say though that I am so glad I got the shrimp egg rolls this time as it was heaven, especially the aioli sauce.

I have been here once before and it was great. So great we decided to do our annual family Christmas night out here. We booked it in October. When we arrived for our reservation they only had a table for 6 ready for our party of 8. Then to remedy this they squeezed 2 more chairs around this already tiny table. We weren't satisfied with this solution but management did nothing further. They promised that we would be well taken care of. We sat for a bit and a server came over and asked what kind of water we would like. Then a server came to explain the menu and she would be back to take a drink order. Then nothing for awhile. A nervous man appeared a bit later and asked if we had been offered water. When we said yes he said ok great and took off. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and that took awhile. Once it was brought over she decanted it and stuck it on the table with no explanation of when to serve it and again said she would be back to take an order. 2 members of our party don't drink wine and weren't offered a drink. We asked for a drink menu and it never came. At this point we had been there at least 35 minutes. We were starving and wanted to put in apps. And get drinks for the everyone at the table. I absolutely understand that it is the holiday and it's busy and things happen but things kept going downhill from the time we got there. I called capital grille while we were there and they were able to take us so we left and went there and the service was superb from the minute we walked in the door. The kind of service we expected we would have had at Davios.

I usually put together a long detailed or winded review. I will try to resist here and get to the point of my one star rating. I went to Davio's for the first time, with a small group from the office. We all ordered ribeyes. The steaks came out and mine clearly was not a ribeye. It was a Sirloin strip. I called the server over and politely noted that I ordered a ribeye. He looked at my steak and replied that it was a ribeye. Are you sure I asked. Yes he said. Well it didn't look anything like my three colleagues' ribeyes, plus I know a strip from a ribeye. There was none of the delicious fattiness that comes with a ribeye. All steaks were out and I don't mind a strip, so I decided not to push the issue and ate my strip. The strip was subpar, had a bit of gristle which I don't expect for a $45 steak, strip or ribeye. But there it was a large chunk of inedible gristle. It had to be $5 worth. So that's all I have to say. I won't go back since the staff can't tell the difference between a ribeye and a steak, and it's a high end steak house? Or is it. Heck, all he had to do was look at the three other plates to see it was clearly not the same cut. Very disappointing and quite honestly, I've had better steaks at Texas Roadhouse.
(1)Sam S.
Went in to Davio's last night after a hellish work week thanks to our friends at the MBTA. The highlight of the night was the service at the bar. All three bartenders on duty were awesome. The food was okay. I feel like everything is pretty over priced. If they lower the prices a bit, I think the ratings would increase. I had the veal wrapped in prosciutto and although it was delicious I've had similar, if not better tasting meals for about $15-$20 less. We will be back to chat it up with the bartenders and probably stick with the bar menu.
(3)Nunzio G.
Lynnfield, MA Fast serve bar area for a drink and seated promptly at reserved time. Service was top notch and knowledgeable from lead waiter, Jen, to the rest the team who contributed to the excellent service. I wasn't thrilled w the beet salad- it was minced. The foccacia app was excellent. The veal chop was cooked perfectly and the meat was very tender. Mashed potatoes were good but not great. Others had an excellent fillet and the shrimp vegetarian dish was also described as delicious! It was pricey exceeding $500 for 4 people w drinks and a bottle of wine. Good food, great service.
(4)Neil M.
I'm back to update my review. My wife and I have continued to frequent Davios in Lynnfield at least monthly. Since my last review they have only improved. Their wait staff has stepped it up, engaged and well trained. There is nothing that separates them from any other great boston restaurant. We are very particular about my wife's food allergy and they bend over backwards to accommodate her. The wine list is extensive as far as Italian wines and we have had good luck with getting advice (although I would recommend a nighttime sommelier). The ambience is still great and food is consistently excellent. The menu has not materially changed in a long time. To some that may be a negative but I tend to like what I like so I'm not seeing that as a flaw. I'm giving 5 stars because they really are the best large scale (more than 150 persons in my book) dining experience in the Northshore. Great job..and looking forward to my next meal. Previous review. I have had several meals here that have been outstanding and compare to great boston restaurants. Good wine list but no one who is knowledgable in them. Good atmosphere and gluten free options. One caveat. I did have lunch there an it was as if I was in another restaurant. Food took more than 1 hour to come out and it was clearly lower quality than previous visits!! However that's only one star off for consistency. I've been here enough to know that it is not the norm.
(5)Jenna D.
It was ok. Staff was nice but a bit awkward and at our table too much. Their poor wines by the glass list was disappointing. Nothing special at all and they were out of the first 2 we ordered. The Burrata and Oyster special were excellent. Hubby's steak was Medium not Medium Rare. My Veal Tenderloin was very good except I don't like visible sliced garlic cloves. The desserts were fine but nothing unique. Boston prices without the hassle. Overall fine but not amazing!

The food is excellent but the prices are out of line when I can get a comparable steak with side dish and salad for almost half the price. To be specific, it was only my wife and I with my daughter along and it was the best lunch we have ever had that set me back $210 plus dollars Get the picture? Update: My parents tried Davios and liked the food but told me that the water boy paid more attention to them than the Server/ Waitress.
