We had a great experience. The hostess was friendly and service was excellent. The halibut special was extremely good. The only downside was the shrimp - they were overdone with the linguini. Overall, very good and we will be back.

We had a wonderful dinner at La Sorella! Service was excellent and our drinks and meal were all very good. My husband and I each had a salad and a pasta dish and we were pleased with everything we ordered. It was a beautiful night to be seated by the very large windows. Highly recommend this Naperville OG!

Our server, Lisa, was wonderful and attentive! My husband ordered is regular go to which is the Riganato chicken. He loves the preparation of fresh herbs and moist perfectly cooked chicken. I ordered the fish fry sandwich which was delicious. Perfectly crispy in the exterior and flavorful with perfectly balanced coleslaw. We both order the soups as our sides. I would highly recommend the mushroom wild rice!

First time dining at Davanti...It was very good. From the Chopped salad that we shared to our main dish to dessert recommended by our waiter...It was all excellent. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, and the only disappointing thing was that they requested a special occasion in the comments. I wrote that it was our first time coming to Davanti, and we look forward to celebrating our 35th. It is always fun to have the restaurant acknowledge "Happy Anniversary". It wasn't crowded due to a Monday evening so the little attention to detail on why we were even there was missed! No big deal..but don't ask for any special occasion or celebration if you don't bring it up? The outside dining looked very nice, but it was a chilly evening so we chose to stay inside where it was quite a nice space.
