   I have visited this location multiple times and have always enjoyed every aspect of my visit. My most recent visit was for a late Sunday dinner which could be why the service felt rushed. Our server seemed annoyed or frustrated that we were there.

   Very tasty Italian that wasn't overpriced. Nice variety and shareable plates had ample portions. The burrata, meatballs and pizza were excellent! Atmosphere was cozy but rather loud. I would definitely go back to try many items on the menu we did not get to order.

    The food was very good, as always, but our server forgot all about us on a few occasions. The appetizers arrived well before our drink order was taken. We had to ask to have the table wiped off a couple times. Our desserts sat melting for at least 5 minutes before we could catch another server's attention and ask him to bring some spoons. We were never offered a refill or even a "top off" on our coffees. Disappointing given the quality of the food (and the size of the check).

    We’ve had several dinners while in Chicago. This time was disappointing. Food quality was poor in relation to previous meals. Food arrived for my husband when the rest of the table was done eating their meals. Salmon was not prepared as ordered. Overall after this visit we will probably try somewhere else.

    We have always liked this restaurant. The menu consists of good quality well executed dishes. We have never left this place disappointed (or hungry). The service was better than ever on our last visit, both at the bar and the table. A great spot for a solid selection of Italian fare.

    One of our favorite restaurants on Taylor Street. Unfortunately they doubled the amount of tables on Valentine’s Day. It was so packed it was hard to move my chair because it was up against the next table. The food was not up to their par again because of the overcrowding. The only thing outstanding about that evening was the wine recommended by the sommelier.

    Went for Valentine’s with my wife, of course expected it to be very busy which it was. Was seated right away, server took our order but unfortunately it took quite a while for the first appetizer to arrive. Several other items came to our table that wasn’t ours, we talked to the server who apologized and from then on the food came out timely. Server took off first Ap from our bill which was nice. Food was very good, our favorite was the polenta with Ragu. Portions are not huge, more smaller and shareable. I would recommend the restaurant.

    I was recommended to come here from a friend. She gave it excellent reviews. My boyfriend is 6’4”, and we were offered a very tight space, and the hostess was annoyed by the fact that we wanted a more comfortable table, which there were open tables. We tried the Caesar salad, which was Lack-luster, and it was boxed up for me and placed back on the, already, cluttered table prior to the rest of our meal. The Tre Formaggio pizza was very good and, quite frankly, semi-helped the experience. We ate the tagliatelle and tiger shrimp, and it had so little taste, it tasted like the noodles were just taken out of water and no seasoning was placed. I have been going to Taylor street restaurants for years, and this was, by far, the worst experience and food I have tried. Save yourself the money and trip. Tuscany or Bacchanalia blow this out of the water.

    Davanti Enoteca - Taylor StreetResponded on February 16, 2020Dear Guest, I am terribly sorry to hear about your experience on Valentine's Day.

    Waited 45 min for a reservation. Hostess would only tell us that it was out of her control. Manager and our server did not address it or say anything to us (but everyone seemed fine w us having to order and pay for drinks at the bar during our 45 min wait). We live in the neighborhood and are regulars so this was disappointing. Not sure if we’ll be back.

    Davanti was one of my favorite restaurants in chicago yet! We went for a restaurant week meal and everything was amazing. The dishes were all well cooked, expertly seasoned, and beautifully plated. See notes below: - buratta: the pesto and bread were amazing, definitely get this! - truffle toast: great texture, only get if you like soft boiled eggs because there is a lot of yolk, which i liked! - brussel sprouts: great flavor and not too fatty - fennel: blood oranges ontop were fresh and plating was gorgeous - gnudi: so light and fluffy! sauce was excellent - risotto: great chicken flavor and crispy skin, very savory only wish it was a touch creamier - polenta ragu: NOT TO BE MISSED!! they plate it fresh at your table and the polenta was the creamiest i have ever eaten, make sure you get one every time! - tiramisu and torta: both very indulgent and amazing, loved the cocoa nibs on the torta Overall great meal and well priced, will be back again soon to try more :)

    Food was delicious. Seating was cramped. We were there for an early dinner before Blackhawks game and clearly so were several other guests. Our table was so close to the one next to us that I was uncomfortable. The waitstaff was rearranging wine bottles which was distracting and noisy and should really have been done prior to the dinner hour. Our server was more interested in his friend who was seated at a table behind us to even offer us a second drink. The only saving grace that would bring us back was the excellent food.

    The food was not bad, just nothing special. Our waiter was not good. Seemed to be more concerned with socializing w/ other staff than serving our table. Realized he was pretty bad and compensated us w/ a few free items but too little too late.

    Great food overall. Of note, they do “small plates” for sharing so it’s meant to be family style. Our server didn’t really help us guide how much food was enough for 4 people, so we ordered 2 pasta dishes and 2 chicken dishes. While the food itself was excellent, the portion sizes were small especially for the price. There was only enough for each person just to get a taste of each dish. I would recommend getting 5-6 dishes for 4 people at least. Also, if you are looking for a quiet dinner spot, this is not the place for you. It’s super loud, which made it difficult to have a conversation.

    We had a reservation at 830 and when we arrived there were no tables available for us. Knowing that they close at 9 and stop taking orders soon, we became pretty upset. We just stood there waiting and were encouraged to have a drink at the bar. Rese jumped in and was phenomenal. He quickly made room and got us a table so we could start getting our orders in. Rese was extremely helpful, hard working, and entertaining. He saved the night!

    Lovely “Sunday Supper” experience. Delicious food (and I’m not an Italian foodie), lovely ambiance, sweet server (and all service,) AMAZING pecan pie old fashioned, lots of food for the money. Will definitely be back.
