| - A fantastic place for a great & intimate meal;
We loved our experience tonight! :)
PROS:
Amazing food
Fantastic/Cozy Atmosphere
Very intimate--maybe 25 tables total with a few window seats in the front
Nice service
Relaxed meal--I wouldn't recommend rushing things here. Just let the evening unfold.
BYOB :)
CONS:
pricey (but, IMO, worth it)
Davio's prints their menus on a regular basis so its subject to change frequently.
They have some phenomenal specials! Ranging from $30-75, typically.
We started our meal with some great breads and they came with three different dipping choices. A Holy Oil that had a really nice spicy finish to it. A Tuscan bean dip (delish, and it also a little spicy kick), and a Gorgonzola/Olive (black and green olives) dip.
The breads were a nice crusty Italian bread (super crunchy/chewy on the outside and super soft on the inside--perfect!) and a tasty focaccia with cheeses and herbs baked on top.
Next was a really great salad topped with raisins, candied walnuts and a great balsamic vinaigrette--the sweet raisins/walnuts were so good paired with the dressing! Please believe me! :)
Dinner was also amazing--I went for the Pasta with a light butter sauce with lump crab meat, pignoli nuts and spinach. This was a serious event. There was so much crab meat and when they say "lump", they *mean* "LUMP"! There was an awful lot and the portion of the meal was huge!
My husband chose the Scallops which he raved about which was a part of their meal deal, so to speak.
They offer (for $32) the bread, salad, entree choice from those listed in this selection, coffee and Italian dunking cookies as a dessert.
Quite a deal, actually. It was also served with a huge side of cauliflower that was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked.
(There are basic dinner entrees, a la carte items, and the $32 deal mentioned above--its your choice so you're not limited at all in terms of choices).
The cookies must have been hand-crafted by angels...
The plate consisted of 4 hand-rolled chocolates, 2 filled cookies and two other cookies. All of the cookies and the truffles were really great.
(Especially the chocolate!)
We did take a bottle of wine with us.
For the two of us, our meal ran approx $75 and was followed by a complimentary liquor finish to your meal or your "Ammazzacaffè" ("Coffee-Killer").
The Hubs had the Anisette and I had Limoncino.
I can't even stand the smell of the Anisette, myself, but the Limoncino had a nicely sweet flavor and very strong!
It was a great evening!
I highly recommend this place.
DRESS CODE: We were Quasi-Casual--in jeans and nice tops, I wore heals, he wore dress shoes.
Other folks came in wearing a dresses and dockers, and yet another couple came in wearing jeans and t-shirts.
Tough call on this one, but I think I would go again as we had this time.
Possibly better dressed, but definitely not dressed to any lesser degree.
TIP: Make a reservation! Better safe than sorry!!!
TIP: Snag the window seat @ the front corner; it's cozy :)
