I went to Davanti last night for the BF's birthday with a party of 5 (including Stephanie B.). I must say, I don't think I have said 'mmmmm' that much at one restaurant in a long time. I had tried Davanti at Devoured (say that 3 times fast). At Devoured they had this porchetta sandwich that was crazy good, so that is what made us go there for the BF's b day. I tried several things last night including:
-Bruschetta of the day- pureed artichoke with pancetta....so delicious, perfectly crunchy bread with creamy deliciousness on top.
-Focaccia di recco- This was ridic. This was one of the best things I have tasted in a long time. Crispy crust...soft creamy cheese...honeycomb...this was crazy amazing (thanks Stephanie B for the rec!)
-Uovo Raviolo- delicious, but small. It is one medium size raviolo with a whole egg inside. It also has cheese and spinach inside and is covered in brown butter. When you cut the raviolo open the yolk breaks and just adds to the sauce. It was really tasty, but for 10$ it was a little much.
-Burger- I tried the burger and it was very good. Loved the bacon marmalade. Cooked well.
-Prosciutto pizza- very tasty pizza that had fresh arugula on it and was pretty delish.
-Funghi pizza- I didn't love this one, it was mushroom and leek and the leek was just a little overpowering.
I also got a hibiscus margatini- this drink was sweet, but not too sweet. It was very tasty. It was expensive, but I would order it again.
This place was very good and it was fun going with a big group so we could try lots of different things (though we totally over ordered and had TONS of leftovers). I would definitely come back here, this place has some serious five star potential. I would like to come at lunch time and get more focaccia and some delish sandwiches....yum!
