Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

My wife and I went on a date night. This place is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The menu at Davio's offers a delightful selection of dishes. We opted for the Bolognese Pasta and the Salmon, and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, the food was juicy,fresh and flavorful. The Spring Rolls were to die for. For dessert, we had the creme brulee was a classic done to perfection. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse at Seaport exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was elegant and inviting. I would highly recommend Davio's to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Boston.

We had a marvelous dinner at Davio's. We were kindly served by Gabi M. The plates here are large, even as appetizers. We got some tomato soup, some crispy eggplant and later, my wife had as entree an incredibly tasty short ribs (I even got some of that). My lasagna plate was very good too. At the end, we had no space for desserts. We came here recommend by some good friends and they were right. Excellent restaurant.

This fabulous restaurant by the Seaport was hopping with activity mid-week on a Tuesday! The ocean views were charming, the extensive menu ensured that we all had many favorites to choose from, the wine list was huge and the service was exceptional. They offer private dining rooms for parties of 10 and we enjoyed the comfort of being away from the noisy part of the restaurant with a lot of foot traffic. We had a custom menu for our group of 10 and I choose the crabcake appetizer, chicken entree and yellow cake with ice cream as my meal. They were all flawless and delicious. I also opted for their Pinot Grigio and enjoyed their popovers while waiting for dinner to be served. The restaurant offers valet parking for $30 and there are many parking options nearby. Really excellent evening at Davio's.

Great service at this location. I ordered the strawberry lemon drop and I was confused because it looked very much a deeper red than my friend pink lemon drop. When I asked about it to make sure I got the right drink, they stated the bartender added too much puree. Even though I said it was fine and I would keep it, they still went the extra mile and made me another drink and comped it off the hill with no questions asked. That I appreciated. I haven’t been to a steak house in a while but I loved the way they prepared this 6oz filet. Very flavorful and not over done. The steak egg rolls were really good as well but I think for a steak house a ketchup and spicy mayo sauce was a bit tacky considering the price point of this location. Not pictured is the tiramisu I took home for dessert very good. I would definitely return back to this location. I was here for a private party so would love to see how the experience is as a regular patron.

The 14 oz 55-Day Prime Aged Strip Steak was absolute perfection—cooked flawlessly. Attentive staff, great atmosphere. Davio’s Seaport nails it. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

We held our baby shower at Davio’s Seaport in the Athanas room and I can’t rave enough about the experience! From start to finish, everything was absolute perfection. The food was a major hit — everyone is still talking about the crab cakes, fresh salads, and the beautifully deliciously prepared entrées. And don’t even get me started on the pastries and mini dolces and pink macarons favors, each one more delicious than the next! But the true showstopper was the pink cake. I had sent over a vision, and Chef Phil brought it to life with precision and artistry. The raspberry and lemon flavor was light, bright, and simply divine. It was exactly what I imagined and somehow, even better. Huge thanks to Sous Chef Victor, who was running the kitchen like a pro, and to the waitstaff, both behind the bar and on the floor. They were incredibly attentive, kind, and on top of every detail. The service was seamless, and we felt so well taken care of. Davio’s Seaport made our special day even more memorable. We are so grateful to the entire team for creating such a warm, beautiful, and delicious celebration! I don’t write reviews ever so I hope someone reads this and has their event there!

Everything about this meal was perfect! Highly recommend sitting outside, what a view! Service was excellent and food was even better. Recommend: calamari, filet with prawn, the cod with crab meat, and the Brussel sprout side! Also excellent/ really strong cocktails!

The dinner was excellent, the veal and steak cooked perfectly, the service attentive. Maybe slightly noisy on a Friday evening, but we could still have a conversation across the table. Wine pairing excellent.

This is my favorite restaurant in Boston and this is my 9y/o favorite restaurant too. (She's been to all the high end restaurants in Boston) I love the extremely tall ceilings with the tall white pillars. It makes me feel like I'm in Greece. They have such a large menu and can basically make any dish gluten-free. My favorite dish is the "foie gras" with a nice peach marmalade sauce. It's the best around! The vibe is so chill and vibrant. The waiters have always been SO NICE and attentive. We've been here about 20 times and this is my to go restaurant to have a good meal, a drink and good conversations.

Living in Seaport, there are so many options, that I realized it's been awhile since I went to Davios-- which used to be one of my fav go to spots. Holy crap this place has gone downhill. When we arrived my husband very clearly asked for a glass of Laphroiag scotch. The waitress said they didn't have any. He asked for a scotch menu and sure enough-- Laphroiag was on the menu. He ordered it but pointed to the menu instead of asking for it. This wasn't a big deal but in retrospect a preview of what the rest of our experience would be like. The sea bass was fishy and both parties who ordered it only had a few bites before they pushed it to the side-- very uncharacteristic of them to do this. The fish was most likely on its way out and frozen and reheated. Additionally, the filet mignon was undercooked and flavorless. We had so much left over on our table but no one wanted to bring any of it home. The food was embarrassingly bad. I don't think I've ever been in a situation where the food was this bad and I eat out on the regular. I decided that I had to say something to the waitress and so I mentioned that the fish was clearly bad. She then got kind of rude with me and was like "why didn't you tell me", I came by asked you how your food was and you didn't tell me". She passed the blame back on us and made us all feel pretty uncomfortable. Just to clarify, she did ask us at one point how the food was but it was after our apps came out before the entrees had arrived. I told her not to worry about it bc we were still going to tip her well but she proceeded to argue with us. I'm so sad about this experience. It's a shame to see places that used to be so good go downhill so bad-- food wise and customer service. If you're in the mood for seafood, go to Ocean Prime.

Every great restaurant has a bad night once in a while... My wife and I were in Boston recently (a Monday night) to pick up a rental wheelchair van for a family member traveling to Mass General the following day. It was the night of continuous rain and just a crappy day. I said to her at around 8:30 after the pickup, " let's grab a bite to eat while we're here... because neither of us will feel like cooking dinner later. So, I tossed out a few thoughts and since we were near the Seaport district, and having confirmed that they had valet parking... called and said we're right around the corner. Done deal!! PS. We've been here many times and knew it was one of their best, as Steve lives in the condo complex in the same building and in fact had just left prior to our arrival. Ok. Enough of the background... We arrived. $27 per vehicle to valet... ouch. Greeted warmly but the hostess tried to seat us at a high top, clearly seeing me with a cane. After asking why we couldn't be seated at a table (they were obviously trying to not open another area in the dining room) they did seat us at a window table. Sadly, it was pitch black and pouring. Ok, the food and the atmosphere: 1. It was a busy late night. Lots of noise and I had to yell at my wife for her to hear me. Common Steve, install some sound dampers!! 2. Ordered a round of drinks while we looked at the well known menu. Gets a 10 3. I ordered an appetizer, sautéed chicken livers. Always a killer. Another 10 4. For entree's, my wife ordered the 10 oz Filet Mignon. No sides. Just the beef. She's a medium to medium well girl (barely pink) I know, don't go there... 5. I ordered the veal tenderloin that comes with mashed and asparagus. Results: Their famous popovers were awful. Shocked we were. They were dried up and had been under some heat light for hours. Gets a 1... The chicken livers were good, not their usual great. Soggy and well, not enjoyable. Gets a 5... My wife's steak arrived with my order... hers was bloody red??? What?? She asked politely if it could be cooked a bit longer. No problem said the waiter. Now she's waiting and my plate is in front of me. Politely, she says..." go ahead and start while it's still hot!! Guess what... it was barely warm!! I cut into the veal, it was almost "raw". Ok. My turn to ask, " can you please flash this under your char broiled flame. No worries I'm told. Now we're both sitting there, no food... the popover's were like toast.. sip more cause this is clearly not their usual crew behind the line. Out they both came, so... they both deserve nothing higher than a 4... Waitstaff was excellent. Just a bad and expensive night for two loyal and hungry fans!! Ciao...

Had their burger which was beyond huge. The put everything including bacon. Their fries had some Parmesan which was appreciated. Service was kind and efficient. Would def come back

For a filling and delicious dinner including drinks, dessert, a Boston Harbour view, my Galentine and I spent about $100/per person We loved their variety of steak options, cooked how you prefer, that also came with unique sauces to dip and their bread which was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside! The brussel sprouts had a citrus flavor that paired addictingly with its roasted flavor and the truffle aioli was to die for with the parmigiano fries‼ It was super cute how they have a 3D dessert cart as their menu, and we enjoyed the warm, crispy butter cake's contrast with its cold vanilla gelato on top We left super full and satisfied, definitey would come again for a special occasion‼ What we ordered: Davio's Meatballs, Caciocavallo Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Sherry Citrus Parmigiano Fries, Truffle Aioli 8 oz Center Cut Filet Mignon w/ Prezzemolata sauce 8 oz 55 Day Aged Strip Steak w/ Bearnaise sauce Warm Butter Cake w/ Vanilla Gelato, Bourbon Orange Crème Anglaise, Blackberries

I took my mom and wife here for a night out before seeing a show in town. I was excited to get a well cooked steak and experience some high class service and we got just that! Our servers were so good I didn't even realize when they swapped our appetizer forks/knives with our dinner ones. I think I saw a server with a stain on his shirt one minute and the next he comes out with a brand new clean outfit- awesome! The food was top notch - we started with the tuna tartar and the famous Philly cheesesteak spring-rolls. My mother and I both got the surf and turf - my medium rare filet was cooked PERFECT. 10/10 would come here again :)

Davio's Delivered Delicious Delicacies. That's my Double - Double-D short version of a review. We were here with a rather large group and the service was spot on with attentive servers. I love it when a large group doesn't bring a restaurant to a grinding halt! The smoky mezcal cocktail was delicious if you like smoke and sour, which I do. It's hard to get right but they did. I had a few of them because it was so good. I usually mix it up a bit, but kept with the winner the whole time. The calamari was amazing as were the oysters Rockefeller. Probably liked them better than the ones in at Antoine's in NOLA where they were "invented". Spot on. The Georgia Banks Scallops were OOTW amazing. Way better than Scalloped Potatoes (most things are). The "Meats" were a little lacking in flavor. The Double Porkchop lacked flavor and the Filet was a bit overdone. I'd say it's probably a better Italian place than a Steakhouse. I'd definitely go back for a nice dinner when in town. I'd probably look at something other than steak and chops and leave those to the big boys in town.

YES! I'm a fan of the food, the ambiance, and service. I personally loves the squid ink pasta, the prosciutto heirloom tomato burrata salad, love the steak eggroll as shared appetizer. The clam chowder was surprisingly unique. I love that they put the seafood scraps inside and made this fresh yummy soup. It's so packed on weekends - there isn't even enough room for you to be getting in and out of the door was the doorway was just jammed with people waiting for a table. I didn't have high hopes for this place bc people compare this place with Capitol grill and I'm certainly not a fan of Capitol grill but absolutely love the food here. (Seaport Location) Parking was a pain. We parked at 22 Liberty Dr. It was $30 (Saturday night) But literally across the street walk to the restaurant.

Attended a NYE 2024 party here and had a great time! Solid food, great company, and overly accommodating staff during the event. Well organized and efficient. Best views of the NYE fireworks. This spot is right on the water, can't get any better of a restaurant location than that.

First time visit in Boston, my friend living here and wants try the sea food, we borrowed 5 umbrellas from strata, and waitresses took away my umbrellas away when we have been seated. After the meal, we lost 3 of them, and ask the reception what about my umbrellas, they said they don't take care of about the umbrellas, but they only store it. When we talk about this to manager, he is with really bad manner and ask if i said something loud he would throw out us right away, and said he can buy hundreds of umbrellas as we want. This is really about the attitude of services, and I don't want to say about the racism, I have never see a manager running a business like this, the service is really ridicules. So will never ever come here again and never recommend anybody to here.

The service was excellent. The staff was super friendly. If you are looking for an intimate quaint place for dinner, this is not it. The dinni g room reminded me of a large cafeteria. Very high ceilings with a view of the kitchen. Very loud. The food was mediocre. They better places to pick.

Parking is a concern. I prefer to have parking when dinning. But it is Boston with a spectacular view. Martinis are great. Menu is kinda just ok. Food good. Reasonably priced. Kinda romantic. Great bar. Service is always very attentive.

I had a fantastic time at Davio's in Boston Seaport! The lemon ricotta cacio e pepe pasta was a standout dish. Creamy and flavorful, the lemon added a refreshing twist to the classic cacio e pepe. I couldn't resist mentioning the huge cheesy popovers they served as table bread - they were a delightful indulgence! The gnocchi with grilled chicken was also excellent, and the table-side Caesar salad was a real treat. And of course, being in Boston, I couldn't pass up trying their clam chowder, which was deliciously rich and comforting. Overall, Davio's provided a great Italian dining experience with a touch of Boston charm!

Just an ok meal. Not sure if the place as busier than help were used to or what. Menu good as always and good couple of specials. But mine came out of kitchen wrong (not a bead trade but I asked for a vegetable substitute and got a side of beans and lobster instead!) I was happy to eat it - but it was nowhere near the mushrooms that I ordered! Service was strangely slow and not very attentive. Maybe it was an off night. Given the expense and expectations, only 3*

Food was 10/10. Started off with cheesy bread - great taste. Followed it up with Caesar salad. Made fresh and in front of our table. Not a salad guy but this was good. We both ordered the strip steak (medium rare) with bearnaise sauce. This was top notch and arguably one of the best steaks I've had. We had a chocolate cake for the birthday dinner, nice touch. Service was very nice and attentive. Waiter made apt recommendations and would make sure to follow up throughout the night. The ambiance of the restaurant seemed nice. Unfortunately, we were not able to fully enjoy it. This was a birthday dinner and I understand they were thoroughly busy. We made reservations well in advance yet our seating arrangements were absolutely abysmal. We were initially seated near the back of the restaurant, near the doorway where waiters come and go to the kitchen. Did not accept this and asked for better seating. We were then relegated to absolute back of the restaurant with a mediocre view (right next to the emergency exit back door). Not sure why this was the case as multiple open spots were available from our view. I did not get to see how lovely the restaurant was until we finished our meal and got up to leave. I called ahead during the week to work some accommodations for this birthday dinner. They don't allow outside food of any kind so our birthday cake was out. Understandable. What was not understandable was how short, brusque and ill-mannered the front desk woman was on the phone. It was like trying to pull teeth out to get information out of them. Overall, the hostess on the phone and the seating were bad. Our experience was redeemed by excellent service and food. Wish I could give 5/5 stars.

Great location with beautiful view of the harbor, but mediocre food. The qualify of the food and the preparation were below average for most dishes. The crab cake was the best part of the meal. Great flavor and full of crab with very little filling. The lobster was horribly over cooked, so it was really hard to chew. The Chilean sea bass was so fishy that it was inedible. Just ended up picking at the asparagus risotto that it came with. Skipped dessert because based on the experience so far, we didn't want to spend anymore time there. It took over 35 min to get sat despite that we had a reservation. Service was bizarre with random waiters coming by without providing a continuous, seamless service. Total miss and not worth the money.

This was my least successful experience at a Davio's ever. I would say 3.5 but just couldn't round up. Let's do the positives. It's a big gorgeous room with a nice patio overlooking the harbor. I requested a table with a view on my res and we got that. Sadly no room on the patio on a nice night. They have interesting food and drink menus and the popovers are delicious. We had the very charming server Andrew who helped all the negatives. He was great with the diner who had requests about her celiac issues. Now let's go on to how freaking warm it was in there. Glad I didn't bother bringing an extra layer, I don't know how the waiters could deal in those jackets they wear. We get the menus but they don't include Rest Week. C'mon if you're offering it just automatically include it. I hate when places do that. We get water and popovers then wait and wait and wait to order drinks. Then we wait and wait for them to come. Took at least 45 min. I hope you like paying $20 for cocktails cuz that's the default. In the meantime pretty much every table around us who came later got things before us. Also it seemed like the bussers weren't paying enough attention to empty plates and glasses. I started w the tuna crudo and just felt like I got some leftover piece that was tough and not cut nicely at all. The other two who got it were fine with it but Andrew knew I wasn't psyched. For the main I got the cod dish w leeks and oysters from the RW menu which was ok but needed salt which I don't do often. It was all fine but that's a typical dish for me to order and I wasn't wowed nor with the lemon cake w blueberries. Didn't seem very cake like. One friend went off RW and seemed happy w chicken livers, gnocchi, side spinach and warm choc cake. We all felt like it was a less than great experience. Esp since it took about 2 3/4 hours start to finish. Not sure why our table was so slow. That was way long but it just did not hit the mark for us.

Must go. We will always go back. Many thanks to the incredible Davio's team! We fell in love there and we'll go back every time we're in the area.

We made a reservation for a Friday evening, and making the reservation was very easy to do online. For parking, they have valet, which is so handy, and only a few dollars more than the self-park garage nearby. We arrived a few mins before our reservation but were able to be seated right away. We opted to sit outside, and the view was beautiful. Our waitress was great, very friendly, and knowledgeable. For a starter, we got the shrimp cocktail, and these were the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. My husband jokingly said they were small lobsters. They were so fresh and the sauces that went with them were great as well. For dinner, I got the 8oz filet and my husband got the swordfish. I asked for medium rare, and when the meat came out, it was a bit over medium, but it still tasted good so I didn't say anything. We got the butter cake for dessert and that was amazing as well. This was a perfect date night spot on the water.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar to grab a drink on Sunday afternoon. The bartender was personable and knowledgeable. I ordered the blood orange cosmo and my boyfriend got the cranberry ginger margarita. We had the popovers and the crispy chicken sliders - all of which was perfection. The view was impeccable and the bar area was quiet and intimate. Great experience!

Decor was beautiful and outside seating ambiance was perfect for a sunny Sunday. Service was amazing. My table was difficult with allergies and food requirements and the server and manager could not have been nicer or more helpful. All the food was amazing, especially the big basket of popovers to start! Baked Alaska was also very impressive

We came in here for Father's Day and it's in a pretty room with dim lighting over looking the harbor. I say that the food was ok since it made us full however the only thing that stood out to me was the beef short rib. Ngl I would come back for that thing only lol. The steak just tasted like a regular steak and the salmon tasted like salmon where you can get anywhere else. I think the bill in total was like $140 for 3 people which is kinda a lot since I don't love love the food. Good service tho and they gave us free bread yay!

Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse - Seaport is a restaurant located in Boston, next to the Seaport. It has amazing waterfront views! There is indoor and outdoor seating. My colleague had placed a reservation for lunch at 12:00 P.M. It was fairly empty in the indoor seating, but a lot of customers were sitting at the outside tables. The restaurant is absolutely stunning! The team members are friendly and helpful! The service was outstanding! Our check-in process was a breeze and we were immediately seated. The team member assisting us brought over bread and chips. The bread had a asiago crusted topping and the chips were made fresh, heavily salted though. Both complimentary items were delicious! It was so hard to choose from the menu here! I was either going to select their burger or the filet mignon! In the end, I decided on a filet mignon cooked medium well, butterflied steak. My colleague had selected the bolognese. For an Appetizer, we split a lemon, parmesan salad and the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. The restaurant actually brought out two different dishes, pre-set with the salad split. This was, I thought, very nice of Davio's to do! There was plenty of cheese on top of the salad. The lemon was strong though! By far, the best dish was the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. The egg rolls were the size of a spring roll, but packed with cheesesteak. It was so flavorful! There was also two spicy sauces provided on the plate that you could dip the egg rolls into. Shortly afterwards, approximately 15 minutes, the entrees came out. The steak was scrumptious! I ended up eating the entire steak. It was juicy and tender, even though it was cooked medium well. I'd order a filet mignon again from Davio's! My colleague enjoyed his bolognese pasta. This is a wonderful restaurant! The ambiance is relaxing and is a great date night spot! It overlooks the Seaport. It is pretty expensive though, but the food is totally worth it!

Second time to this location for restaurant week/dine out. Came for dinner instead of lunch this time. Place is big and spacious with a nice view of the river almost wherever you sit due to the large windows which is nice. The dine out menu was creative. Food was good. For me the highlight is always dessert and the choc cheesecake was delish. Drinks were strong, the Pineapple basil smash was great and definitely worth a try. Went pretty late on a Tuesday so the place wasn't very busy and service was prompt. Meters for parking in the area but typically taken unless youre lucky, several garages around. Normal menu is pricey but having eaten here several times, price matches quality.

Great value for Dine Out Boston! I noticed that the different entree items were just variations of the same ingredients but can't complain because it was all delicious and I left feeling quite full. I really enjoyed all of my dishes, especially the desserts. - Great waterfront views - Grand aura - HUGE POPOVERS (you can ask for more!) - Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We made a reservation for Sunday brunch but there were still many tables available. - Service was pretty good. We did notice a longer delay between our appetizer and our entree but that was not a big deal. - Street parking or pay for valet parking Scrumptious food and splendid views makes this a great choice in the Seaport area.

Davio's is always a solid choice. I've been here more than a few times, but most recently I had an exceptional dinner. We put our name on the list and there was a 2 hour wait, while they didn't take reservations until 10pm. We arrived at about 8pm, and were seated promptly. There wasn't a lot of room, it was completely packed for the first decent weekend of the spring. Ephrati took care of us this evening and she was extremely pleasant and patient. We started with Fresh Baked Popover Rolls which are my favorite ever, as well as Raw Oysters, from Duxbury, and they were very good. We ordered a half dozen and there was one missing, so they brought out the 6th one in its own little, iced oyster bowl which was super cute, but I wonder how often they forget ONE oyster, to the point where they have single oyster bowls. I decided on the Hot TORRE DI PESCE, which is my favorite. The lobster with tarragon butter was amazing, the lump crab cakes with citrus aioli were perfection, the scallops + shrimp with mild spicy San Marzano tomatoes with were my favorites. The mussels pernod and crispy calamari were alright. I scratched the Oysters Rockefeller because they're not my favorite from past visits. Also, I ordered a drink and it never came. For dessert we had the Baked Alaska which was the first time I've tried it, as many times as I've seen the dessert cart. It was truly one of the best desserts I've ever had. The bottom layer is a gluten-free coconut cake topped with strawberry gelato, covered in an Italian merengue torched with mango and passionfruit sauce. You HAVE to try it! This is one of my top 5 favorites but I wish they had more tables on the sides. I didn't like being seated in the middle of the aisle where everyone was walking by all evening, it was much less comfortable than even the bar. The last time I was here, we were served at the bar since they had no tables available, and enjoyed the raw oysters, hot seafood tower, and 16 oz. 55 Day Prime Aged Ribeye with green beans + almonds, which were all perfect. The Free Range Chicken, Creamy Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Lemon Butter is also great, and the Seasonal Fruit, Berries, Citrus Broth, Mini Sweet Ricotta Cannoli dessert is one of my favorites. TLDR; Fresh Baked Popover Rolls, highly recommended TORRE DI PESCE - Hot Tower, highly recommended 55 Day Prime Aged Ribeye + Green Beans, highly recommended Raw Oysters, recommended Free Range Chicken, Creamy Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Lemon Butter, recommended Top desserts recommended: Baked Alaska & Cannoli + fruit Ambience: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Drinks: 3/5 Service: 4/5 (Ephrati gets 5 stars but I had asked a random waiter for a drink that never came) Davio's Seaport: 4.25/5

Excellent Italian dining spot in the seaport area. The ambiance was amazing, we were on the second floor and had a beautiful view of the water the entire time. We got a variety of dishes and shared a few sides family style. Clam Chowder - was okay. Not the best chowder I've had and nothing to write home around. It was a tad watery and not very hot. Presentation was very nice Tagatelli bolognese was EXCELLENT. It was hot and tasty, perfect. Flat Iron Steak was average. Nothing to write home about. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 10/5

Fantastic service! And a good standard of food. For context, I came here during restaurant week, so I was able to try a few appetizers the entrée and a delicious dessert. To kick it off we had the calamari which looked amazing and tasted pretty darn good. It was your typical calamari with no extra seasoning but had good flavor and provided that nice kick with a squeeze of lemon. I also had the bruschetta which wasn't that great to be honest. Two pieces of bread with OK toppings that were a bit dry. I then had the short ribs and the portions were insane! The short ribs themselves came out perfectly with a great flavor and hot and ready to eat. The fried onions on top weren't a bad touch but nothing that would blow you away. More of a garnish. Now to save the Best for last I had the panna cotta which was out of this world. It was perfect with the berries, and much needed after that heavy meal! I would describe the fare here as Italian-American fine-ish dining to an extent. This is a chain, so you have to also consider that part as well. Overall I would say the service really is top-notch here! They do make you feel special and cater to your every need. I recommend checking this place out at least once.

The service and the ambiance of the restaurant were good. I had the meatballs and steak and broccoli both were decent

If I could sum this up, this restaurant has a nice interior that is visually appealing; however the food is lackluster. The other thing I found was that the music was too loud inside, which makes conversation difficult. I had the bolognese pasta, which was fine. Not homemade noodles or anything. The Atlantic salmon that my fiancé had was really good and came with a little bit of crab meat too which was a nice surprise. This dish seems to be very popular with other reviewers and we can confirm that this is a good dish. This is a good location to have a large family, friend, or coworker get together. Keep in mind it's a bit pricey albeit it is Boston.

We went for a birthday celebration of a great friend. to be honest the food was OK, I've have had better, but the place was glamorous and phenomenal, we are definitely planning to go back again. Another great thing was the waiter who waited on us George, he was Hispanic, very cordial, made us feel like a royal family. We are definitely planning to go back again

Best part about this Italian steakhouse is the view at sunset over the harbor! (Highly recommend sitting outside, weather permitting; or even at the bar inside). I ordered the sampler of spring rolls (Buffalo chicken, chicken parmesan, and Philly cheese steak), and thought all 3 were phenomenal. They were hot and fresh and each one packed with their own unique flavor. For my main dish I ordered the hand rolled potato gnocchi with basil, mushrooms, and truffle butter, and again, thought it was exquisite. The gnocchi was light and airy (not dense or heavy, as many gnocchi are), and the butter sauce had the perfect amount of truffle flavor to it, without being overpowering. The entrees were slow to come out from the kitchen, but the service itself was friendly and helpful, and checked on us often to refill our wine glasses. I really enjoyed my meal here and will return again!

We had a wonderful dinner at Davios a seaport celebrating our anniversary. Everything was perfect from the delicious drinks to the fabulous dessert. Our waiter Otto was more terrific -- appetizers dinner and dessert were spaced perfectly. Can't wait to go back!!

To mark Valentine's Day, my husband and I dined at the restaurant on Saturday evening. The restaurant is located on the first floor, but boasts a stunning ocean view from across the street. [ Ambiance ] - The restaurant boasts a spacious interior, offering the option to dine in either a lively or a more relaxed atmosphere. - We reserved a table with a view for a romantic dining experience. - The servers were incredibly friendly, contributing to a delightful evening. [ Cuisine ] - The bread had a rich and buttery flavor, ample enough for the two of us to share. - The "Oysters Rockefeller" ordered as an ANTIPASTO dish was both rich and delicious. - The "Penne, Applewood Smoked Chicken, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Walnuts, Cream" ordered from the FARINACEA section was generously topped with cheese, delivering the expected taste and a well-balanced flavor. - The "10 oz. Center Cut Filet Mignon" ordered from the CARNI section was cooked to perfection. - After the meal, the server presented us with a dessert tray, and we selected a chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. - A glass of Coke Zero cost was reasonably priced and there was plenty of drinks provided. This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience for families and lovers alike, in a charming atmosphere both during the day and night.

Went to this restaurant for Easter Sunday. Every thing from Manager (Jackie) to entire staff was awful. Three of us in party- server didn't write anything down and nothing was right 3 meals ordered and only 2 arrived and those two were not cooked correctly. we had 3 chairs at table and asked for a fourth and was actually told no because restaurant didn't have enough chairs! Unbelievable! Management knew how bad things were for us and did not offer anything to make right - except for dessert on them. Really? You have prices that high, know your customer is really unhappy and do nothing, Everyone think twice about going here. There are plenty of great places to go and unfortunately this is no longer one of them.

Visited this place recently for a small celebration. We definitely had a good time. The location of this place is just perfect. We got a table facing the water where we enjoyed the water view and the sun set. Interior of this place has a cozy and upscale vibe. The entire staff is amazingly nice and friendly. After seating at the table our server quickly offered us some water and bread. The bread was freshly baked. And it is scrumptious. Drinks: We ordered brut champagne which was great. And the Pineapple old fashioned was uniquely refreshing. Appetizer: We ordered local burata . It is one of delicious salads. I highly recommend anyone to try it. Also ordered lemon fettuccini shrimp appetizer portion. Pasta seems freshly made. And shrimps were tasty as well. Main: They serve amazing Steak. Cooked to a correct temperature. Also tasted their penne pasta with applewood chicken with sundried tomatos. Again delicious one. We ordered butter cake with gelato on the top. It was perfect way to end the nice dinner. Loved it. To accompany this dessert my partner ordered Affogato which is an expresso with ice cream. This was pretty good too. If you want enjoy good evening with a great food, you cannot go wrong with this place.

Well, like real estate... the best part of Davios Seaport is... Location, Location, Location! Nice views of the harbor and ships sailing around Boston Harbor. Nicely secluded on the backside of the building. SERVICE: Made a reservation... showed up... then was told to wait. Stood off to the side while people coming in after were seated. Plenty of empty tables inside and out. Requested indoor seating because of potential rain, but still got outdoor seating (whatever), even as I watched people after me come in and get seated before more INDOORS. No idea what was going on here. But really annoying. It's not one of those things where people are getting alerted for tables and coming in. This was people showing up legit AFTER me. No explanation on that. If there was a logical reason, like they didn't have any tables inside and I had to wait for one to be cleared, totally fine. But watching parties of the SAME SIZE get seated indoors coming in after me just felt super annoying. Not the service you expect at a place like this. As the rain drops started for fall a little, I asked the server... "SO, what happens if the sky opens up?" to which she replied... "Everyone just goes scrambling for the indoors and it's super hectic"... GREAT. So I'll take my rain soaked meal inside with me? FOOD: Just ok. Steak was overcooked. WELL DONE. Oof. The turnip puree was outrageously sweet. The tuna tartare was decent, but not even close to most places where it's half the price. Spring rolls were good, but just not really an elevated interpretation. This was not a steakhouse experience I had hoped for. OVERALL: The view was the best part, but there are so many other choices in the area. I might try Davios in Chestnut Hill.

Braised short ribs were butter soft and fell off the bone... Great drinks and salads... Fois gras was awesome. Coffee and cheesecake to end a great night!

Came here last summer (late review) but sharing because some Friends are coming to Boston next week and I was telling them all about this place and how AMAZING it was. We had dinner and a beautiful sunset

The only reason this restaurant is getting a 1 star is because I can't give it a 0. I made a reservation for a 8:30PM dinner and had to wait 1hr until they told us we could be seated, and when they walked us to our table, we had to walk back to the waiting area because the table "wasn't ready". All while watching everybody else get seated, including people that came after us. I eventually left because of the utter disrespect and unprofessionalism. Ill never recommend this place to anyone else. Terrible customer service.

I came here after spending a few hours at the ICA nearby. I was quite hungry at this point after having walked around the museum, and I love steak so I was looking forward to my meal. Basically, my expectations were very high... and I was not disappointed. I ordered the prime flat iron (med rare) with truffle fries, broccolini, and béarnaise. Every single bite of this meal was absolute perfection. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the truffle fries were amazing, and the broccolini was a great addition to provide some green to this meal and make it more well-rounded. 10/10 would recommend!

Place is the absolute balls. (Why? Because the Celtics ah' the balls, theres no other reason why. ) Atmosphere / views , 10 Embiance , 10 Service , 10 - shout out Kevin, great job Drinks , 10 Food , 10 Wifi , Not so great, but who gives a hoot. Get the f****** off your phone ! Filet mignon was great , side bars were great. Get the caesar salad , they make it right at the table ! 3oz $80 wagyu might not have been worth it. Will definitely be coming back! Will bring a village with me next time!

I stopped by last night for a late drink, but I couldn't not mention that I got a really good service at the bar, the bartender was a really polite, professional, and happy to serve me!

Another great meal at Davio's - we usually dine at the Back Bay location, this was our first time at the Seaport and it was just as great. We were visiting for our 25th Anniversary and we had a great window seat with a view of the ships and the harbor, beautiful. The room was designed after the Back Bay location, very open and elegant. Our server was Jose and he was very professional and knowledgeable. Cocktails and appetizer were tasty - I had my usual, the St. Juniper and hubby had the Mediterraneo Cosmo and we had the burrata as appetizer, delicious. For dinner I had the salmon and hubby had the special, a scallop dish with pasta and winter squash - both were delicious. We had a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday night and it was hopping, the bar scene and the restaurant, it was great to see! On the way out, I saw Steve DiFillippo and mentioned to my husband - next thing I know, I look behind and hubby is introducing himself and telling him we were there for our 25th anniversary, what a wonderful meal we had and that we love the Back Bay location - Steve was very gracious, shook our hands and thanked us -- such a genuinely nice guy. This is why keep coming back to Davio's!

Food & drinks were pretty good - I highly recommend the crab cake appetizer. The dessert sampler was also amazing!

We've dined at Davios in Back Bay and the Seaport many times over the years, and last night was our first bad experience. The service was wonderful, but that was the only positive. The food ranged between calamari that was too spicy to eat, to flavorless lobster risotto and pasta, and desserts that tasted old. Many of our favorite items had been taken off the menu. Music was so loud that we had to scream across the table & could barely hear each other. Air conditioning was set too low and it was uncomfortable. We asked in advance for an outdoor table, but were told when we arrived that the patio closed at 9pm; when we left at 11pm, there were still people dining outside. Had we known this in advance, we would have picked an earlier reservation or gone somewhere else. We may not be back after this experience.

Had a great meal here for a celebration. Service, drinks, and food were all great. We were a party of 8 and our waiter was very attentive. All of our drinks & food came out promptly, and all of the dishes were delicious. The fried calamari & the salmon were noteworthy. I tried two cocktails on their summer special menu and was impressed with both. Great views of the water & even better views of the sunset! Highly recommend for date night, anniversary, or celebration dinner.

Best outdoor dining in the Seaport area. Right on the water and in a perfect place to walk around after dinner. They serve giant, amazing Popovers as the bread for the table. Food was fabulous. They can't promise an outside table, but that's everywhere in Boston. I have no idea why that's the case. Basically, if there's a hard way to do something that's how Boston's going to do it. But it's worth waiting for outdoors. If you time it right, the surrounding buildings block the direct sun so you won't burst into flames in summer. So ask when you call to make the reservation what time the sun hits.

There's nothing better than good food with an amazing view. The charcuterie plate was not on the menu but they were willing to create it as long as they had the meat and cheeses available. 10 out of 10 would recommend based on drinks, service, and the ambiance of the restaurant.

Everything about our dinner was fabulous! I was in between booking Davio's, Fleming, and Morton's and went on a gamble by dining here and was pleasantly surprised. We started out with the hot seafood tower (a must try!) and martinis and then had the Filet with a few sides. Just wow - Davio's in Seaport is a must!
