   Everything was amazing!!! Best Italian food- the real thing. They dont drown everything in heavy cream like fake italian restaurants do! Great service too!

   Modest size menu but superb Italian food, especially the pasta. Mussels appetizer featured meaty mussels in a generous marinara based sauce. Could have used either a few more muscles or more bread to sop up the extra sauce, but this was excellent. Standout entree was the mushroom pasta (Agnolotti Quattro Formaggi e Funghi) - super creamy and rich. Everyone loved it!! The Bucatini Carbonara was also excellent. Absolute killer desserts were the Brown Butter Blondie (sea salt caramel gelato and very rich sweet shortbread) and a wildly unique strawberry rhubarb sweet basil and ricotta cheesecake (on special). A wonderful evening - thanks!!

   Ashley took care of us last evening and a marvelous job of it she did! She had a bit of help though from the kitchen as the lads and lassies in the back of the house did their jobs well again! Our last time in my date had the vodka sauce rigatoni and I had the orecchiette and we were both over the moon with our selections; this time we swapped and were again over the moon! Between the ambience, service, and food one can’t go wrong! Davanti knocked it out of the park again and I am looking forward to coming back and this time branching out a bit on the menu as literally everything looks amazing! Unfortunately, I’ll never be able to try the mushroom dish Ashley raved about as I am mushroom intolerant, but I’m always ready to live vicariously through my date who absolutely can enjoy mushrooms and as Ashley said, I’m still a fun guy. Important to note that aside from our dinner selections, we also very much enjoyed the Caesar salad and my French pressed coffee was every bit as enjoyable as one might expect it to be. We will again return soon! Thanks Davanti staff!

   We arrived early and had a drink at the bar. The hostess came over to fetch us and offered us a very small table in the bar area, which we declined and instead offered to wait for a better table. I’m still a bit 50/50 on that as our second option was just next to the toilets and that’s never great, but aside from the seating locales, the service was good overall, the food was AMAZING, and we didn’t break the bank. My date and I felt the atmosphere was inviting, the music was appropriate, and our overall experience was more than satisfactory. We will return at a later date and enjoy ourselves again! Thank you Davanti Enoteca!

   What a great evening! We arrived early and had a glass of wine at the bar. Moved to our table and enjoyed so much delicious food! The honey ricotta was absolutely delicious! Loved the escarole salad. The special was a chicken Milanese, which was perfect. Ended the evening with tiramisu and it was such a treat. Service was outstanding! Perfect Saturday evening!!

    Service at the bar was great, nice ambiance overall, but disappointed in the food. Asked for bread to go with our Cesar salad, but wasn’t told I would be charged for a couple thin pieces of toast. No oil to dip. Ordered the whitefish piccata but was told they were out of the regular choice and were serving walleye as the whitefish. Had to return it because the overtly fishy taste. Got the bolognese spaghetti instead. Sauce was mediocre at best. The vodka rigatoni was probably the best dish out of the three.
