Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse - Back Bay

We had a 6pm reservation but were not seated until 6:15. It was very busy and crowded. The food was excellent, my steak was so tender I almost didn't need a knife! Great service also. However, it was so noisy that it was hard to hold a conversation, the ceilings were so high and the tables were so crowded together.

Found this Restaurant on open-table for a late night Dinner after arriving in Boston from Lis Angeles . It was past 9 P M and we were really hungry and looking forward to eating in Boston during our short visit. All the Pasta s are made in house fresh and it was s really nice place to celebrate my wife s Birthday . The Pasts dishes we ordered were delish as was the Salad and Dessert. Would definitely recommend this Restaurant.

We went to Davio’s for a 50th birthday dinner. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere without being pretentious. The staff was attentive & patient with our group of 10. A bunch of the ladies are vegetarians & were skeptical of vegetarian choices at a restaurant famous for steak but were pleasantly surprised with a nice selection of mains & sides. Our cocktails were wonderful & the freshly baked popovers were to die for. We ordered lots of dishes & except for a couple of vegetarian options & Fusilli, Shrimp, Hot Cherry Peppers, Vermentino, Lemon, Olive Oil. The shrimp was over cooked & the pasta too sour. The best dishes were the Atlantic Salmon, Farro, Mushrooms, Spinach, Jumbo Crab, Roasted Eggplant, Farro, Spinach, San Marzano Tomatoes, Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Guanciale, Chicken Parm Spring Rolls in Marinara & Parmigiano Fries, Truffle Aioli & Goat Cheese Puffs. Loved the tiramisu & the Seasonal Fruit, Berries, Citrus Broth, Mini Sweet Ricotta Cannoli. Davio’s is a great place for a special occasion.

Great service from funny, friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Food is top notch. Seafood and steaks are available. Although I am not a dessert person I had to try one, which was fantastic. They have a private dining room that is bid enough for meetings. Yes, it's pricey, so make it a special occasion when you go! If you having a big night out it's a great choice. And, once more, expect great service from the staff... We'll be back.

A true steakhouse should have an elegant and classy feel to it, Davio's definitely has that going on! Every meal at a fine dining restaurant should start with a good Belvedere/Grey Goose martini and must have blue cheese stuffed olives. I was off to a great start. The bread was delicious and came served in a unique, vertical basket. I had to stop myself from getting a second serving. The arugula salad was refreshingly light, topped with shaved parm and a slightly citrus virgin olive oil. The star though was the bone-in ribeye. It was as delicious as it was massive and cooked perfectly to order - medium rare. The cab wine pairing was excellent and of a very high quality. There was no room for dessert, but everything looked really good. I'll be back.

Hot tower is to die for! Absolutely amazing! Ambiance is amazing, servers are the best, love how they show you the desserts cart so you can pick based not only on a dessert name but in how they look ( all look delicious btw, you could pick any and they will not disappoint) steak is great! So tender, ohhhh and the popovers as started bread! 🤤, oysters are so fresh and delicious, Davios is now one of my top 5 restaurants in Boston! Will recommend and I come back as much as I can, they never miss!
