Reviews for Davanti Enoteca in San Diego, CA
Great place to hit up for a weekday happy hour. The bar is on the smaller side but we haven't had a problem finding a seat. The... outdoor patio offers great people watching as well as heated dining in the evenings. This place has been consistently good foryears now. I'd recommend any of their pastas and love their appetizer dips. Read more
Sounds nutty but best thing on the menu hands down! I love their pizzas when it's the right cook, but the burger has always been... killer! Read more
Been here multiple times. The best thing is the bread app with honeycomb, everything else is just okay. The service has always... been extremely slow and you need to flag them down if you need anything. Come for happy hour when the pizza is cheap otherwisechoose someplace else. Read more
The Ricotta Vasi, it is absolutely HEAVENLY. I don't know what kind of magic they do in the kitchen but it's some Harry Potter... type wizardry. So crazy crazy good! Read more
We met for appetizers and a glass of wine. The wine was a barbera d'alba that paired well with the bruschetta and even the... chocolate torte. I would pass on the charchutrie board, it wasn't anything special. The peanuts looked like they emptied the canon the board, salty crumbs and both cheeses were too similiar to stand alone.The service gets busy at dinner so coming in aearly beforehand was perfect. There is plenty of parking! Read more
I was super excited to try this place because of the dish, Hen of the Woods. I didn't realise until I was there that it is a... portobello mushroom cap, not hen of the woods. It was definitely tasty, but not what I wanted in my mouth. The cauliflower steakwas okay, but it got boring quick. They had no Italian sodas or juices, just soda, coffee, & water. The water there was sogross. It reminded me of Florida tap water. I decided to go back to my car to drink my warm lemonade instead. Then after beingthere for a bit the sun was in half of our party's eyes. The place was basically empty & they sat us possibly the worst spot forthe sunset. I sat awkwardly to help block the sun for my friend across me. If it wasn't for the Focaccia I would've been mad. Itwas very delicious. Our server was good. The place & restrooms were clean. I personally won't be going back since I try to eatas plant based as possible. Read more
Came here on a Monday night. Fairly busy, but we didn't have to wait. Seating currently is indoors if you want. Which we opted... for. The waiter recommended a pizza and the artichoke appetizer. We also added the roasted beets. Everything was outstanding. Wehave actually eaten here many times since they originally opened and this was one of our best meals here. The beets with theirtangy goat cheese and sweeten walnut butter are always good. The roasted artichokes were so worth it. They came tender and easyto eat with a ton of roasted garlic, extra virgin olive oil and Calabrian chilis. The garlic, chilis and oil made it onto mypizza which made it that much better. The pizza had really high quality Prosciutto de Parma, a Parmesano Reggiano that has to beat least an 18 month age on it and a perfect oven baked thin crust on it that teetered between a cracker crust but with awonderful chew from a dough that can only be made from a multi-day process. Five stars. Dinner was absolutely outstanding! Read more
I went here with my boyfriend for a cute date night out. We sat outside. It was warm with the heaters but the table was rocking... excessively. This wouldn’t bother me at all if the food was good but that wasn’t the case. We first started with the Caesarsalad. It wasn’t bad but definitely on the fishy side. We then got the focaccia which was very good and definitely the bestthing on the menu. We then tried the meatballs. Absolutely horrendous. The most dense meatball, could barely cut it with a forkI couldn’t take more than one bite. This followed with the rigatoni alla vodka, which was alright but nothing special at all.And then the DOC pizza which was also a very big let down. The dough was Chuck E. Cheese dough. More like CEC pizza. Service waseh. They didn’t ask how anything was because that’s when I was going to say something about the meatballs but we never gotthe chance. It is what it is. Just no one get the meatballs. Read more
