Steakhouse
In 1985, at the young and 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, the wine list. The new Davio’s soon garnered rave reviews.
The idea behind Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse was simple, regional Italian foods with a focus on the grill.
Everything made by hand from the best ingredients. Serve everything from 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. Steve has since opened locations in Foxborough, Lynnfield, Logan Airport, Boston Seaport, Atlanta, King of Prussia and The Colony, Texas.

    You notice right away that it is high end restaurant. You expect everything great. But... we came for lunch at 1.30pm and were told that they are serving dinner already from 1pm! Food wait time was more than an hour. End up spending 2 hours for lunch! The food was good and nicely presented.

    We were an office staff of seven people who went out for Dine Out/Restaurant Week. We also celebrated a colleague's birthday. All the staff were great, and the food was amazingly good. We all enjoyed it very much.

    Davio’s in Chestnut Hill has lost it’s charm at least as experienced during this past visit. Since it’s opening, we have dined at least once or twice a month and have enjoyed the camaraderie of the staff and servers. It appears there is now a team approach to serving which is far less enjoyable and respect for loyal diners has also been lost. Bob is greatly missed.

    Desiree was AMAZING! She greeted us with a smile from the time we sat down until the time we left!! Her professionalism, warmth, and kindness was the absolute best. Everyone we came into contact with was very delightful. My entire party said it was one of their best experiences eating at a restaurant. I’m a frequent flyer of Davio’s and Chestnut Hill continues to be my favorite location! I will be back soon! Dr. FeLisa Albert

    The service was out of this world amazing! The food was not up to Davios standards. It was poorly made and did not taste good. I have not had a meal this disappointing in the past, and was shocked by the lack of care giving to me and my party. It started with the chips and bread. We didn’t have chips. We had scalloped cold potatoes. The cauliflower soup was very good, but wasn’t given enough for a regular serving of soup. I ordered medium well salmon, and was given well dry salmon. This has never happened to me in the past. Again the service was amazing which is why I started. Based off of my food experience. I will more than likely not go to Davios chestnut hill again.

    The service was atrocious. Our waitress was assigned to a private party and was barely at our table. At one point I had to get up and serve my table water because we’d been sitting for over 30 minutes with empty cups. The waiters in other sections were lovely and did what they could to help, but they were busy as well.

    We eat at Davios often. We were VERY disappointed last night and so was the couple we were with. I ordered a chopped salad with chicken. Salad was skimpy. I asked for dressing on the side and they forgot it and switched my blue cheese for goat. My friends also had missing ingredients. Staff tried to fix all of the issues, but we had to wait awhile. Restaurant wasn’t even busy. Not an inexpensive meal and seriously very below the mark for Davios.

    This was the worst experience I have had since I joined OpenTable. My server left me sitting for 35 mins. He served everyone around me. Then he apologized and said I thought you were waiting for someone. Even through my reservation was for 1. It went downhill from there. No bread, my steak was way way undercooked, he never came back to check on me. I couldn’t get a refill of tea it wasn’t until the manager came by and ask how o was that o got any service. I would hard pass this place. The average table took way to long to get service and the waiter only had 4 tables. Food was very good and manger did what he could do to make it up to me. But again this place is now a hard pass

    Overall a very good dining experience. Nice room, good selection of cocktails. The small seafood tower was a good starter, though quite a bit smaller than I expected for the price. We both had pasta and then coffee and dessert, all of which were good portions and very tasty.

    Always saw Davio’s but never went in until last night. It was our anniversary and the meal did not disappoint. The food was superb. We had the meatball appetizer, an arugula salad and the bolognese, short ribs and shrimp fusilli. All were excellent. We also had the banana dessert. The best part was the service. Renee was spectacular. All in all a great meal.

    Waiter barely attended the table. He walked by often to serve others. Wouldn’t give eye contact. Wasn’t personable. Had to ask for a condiment three times. Was seated for 35+ mins before a waitress saved us and took our entree order. One entree was served cold. Extremely disappointed.
