  • It causes me pain to give this restaurant only 4 stars. I just moved back to Scottsdale after spending a year in Chicago, where Davanti originated and where it was my all-time favorite restaurant. Let me preface this by saying that I had realistic expectations eating at the new location here in Scottsdale - I knew they probably had some kinks to work out, I knew the local ingredients wouldn't be the same, and I knew that the wine list would be different. So, I have been to the Scottsdale location now twice, and I am ready to write a review. My favorite items from Chicago are as follows: the vasi with ricotta and local honeycomb, the Davanti burger, the Cacio e Pepe, the Pizza della Terra, and the layered dessert in the mini mason jar (it changes seasonally). Here, the Pizza della Terra, which is arguably my all-time fave dish anywhere, was not only VERY different than the Chicago version, but it was tasteless. The crust was soggy, the leek flavor was not there, and the cheese was chewy and seemed to be a different type of cheese altogether. The pizza itself was also smaller. OK, sad, but moving on. The ricotta and honeycomb vasi was mediocre the first time I went to the Scottsdale location but definitely on par with the Chicago version the second time. So, well done, Davanti. The Davanti burger was - and will always be - amazing. So good we ordered a second one - after we had already put in our dessert order. That should say something! The Cacio e Pepe was, well, weird. This is really designed to be a very simple dish with high quality, fresh ingredients. The pecorino and black pepper are supposed to be the star flavors. But at this new location, it seemed to have some sort of odd, greyish, creamy sauce. Not bad, but very different from the original, and from what it's supposed to be. The layered dessert this time had a peanut butter theme, and it was DELICIOUS. All in all, I liked my meal here, and I will be back. I still love Davanti too much to not want to give it a few more shots. Unfortunately, it just makes me miss the Chicago location, though....
