High-end Italian steakhouse with extensive menu, wine list, refined bar























"The most upscale option at Patriot Place, Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse felt old-school and polished to me — a home-grown chain offering hand-rolled gnocchi, a tableside dessert cart, and even a house-label rye whiskey made by Boston Harbor Distillery." - Adam H. Callaghan

"The standard menu at this Northern Italian steakhouse with multiple locations, with its steaks, pasta, salad, and more, advertises some pricey selections, like the Maine lobster with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans for $55, but for a slightly more affordable experience, sidle up to the bar and ask for the bar menu — a selection of sliders and primi piatti priced around $15 to $20 make for a solid dinner on their own. Also check out the to-go shop, offering breakfast items, paninis, soups, salads, and more." - Samantha Maxwell, Eater Staff

"A large Northern Italian–styled steakhouse with a raw bar and seafood offerings, occupying a 17,000-square-foot space that seats roughly 300 and includes four private dining rooms; notable for acquiring a liquor license from a historic neighborhood tavern." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Also opening November 25 on Fan Pier (50 Liberty Dr.), I found that Davio's expands the Boston-based chain — now at 11 locations, five outside Massachusetts — with a gargantuan 17,000-square-foot, 300-seat space that includes four private dining rooms on the second floor. Billed as Northern Italian, the restaurant also serves a raw bar and other seafood options; it acquired its liquor license from the historic, now-closed Doyle’s Cafe in Jamaica Plain and sits just below ultra-expensive apartments (some listed up to $11 million). Its arrival further saturates an already crowded Seaport steakhouse scene." - Terrence Doyle

"Doyle’s Cafe plans to sell its liquor license to growing steakhouse chain Davio’s, which will use it at its forthcoming mega-restaurant in the Seaport." - Terrence Doyle
