  • I ate here a while ago with my fiance for dinner. Whenever we heard about Davio I was surprised to find out that it was located in Beechview as it wouldn't have been my first place to put an expensive Italian restaurant but it seems to work here. Whenever we walked into the restaurant I was reminded of an old house with fancy tables covered in white table cloths, knick-knacks all over the place and then the painting from their website. I am not really sure what is up with that picture but I personally found it rather creepy but that is my own opinion. We were also seated in full view of a table from which I was assuming the owner conducted his business? Throughout dinner he was making phone calls and many of the waitresses stopped back to talk to him. I thought that was a little weird and all but it didn't negatively affect our dining experience. One of the first things that they do whenever you arrive here is bring you out some homemade bread along with 3 different dipping sauces. The bread was excellent, especially with the white bean sauce which I loved. There was also a wonderful olive oil with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese and finally and olive tapenade type sauce. For our appetizer we decided to go with the Calamari and jumbo shrimp which was sautéed with spinach and ripe olives in unfiltered olive oil with garlic. They were not joking around whenever they said jumbo shrimp either as they were some of the biggest shrimp I have ever eaten and tasted good too. The calamari was also pretty good, cooked nicely so that it was tender and not too chewy. For my entree I had the NY Sirloin Strip Steak which was described on the menu as a generously hand-cut, seasoned with olive oil and cracked black pepper to create an intensely flavorful steak. Once again generously hand cut was an understatement as my steak was humongous. The seasoning on it was perfect as well and it was tender leading to a very enjoyable entree. It was so large and combined with the rest of the food that we had eaten so filling that I actually ended up taking about half of it home. I honestly can not say the last time that I had a hard time finishing my meal. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Yeah, it's expensive for an Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh but I feel like you are definitely getting what you pay for here. All of the food that we had was really good, now if they would only do something about the decor.
