Reviews for Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse in Chestnut Hill, MA

Located inside the entrance to the movie theater, it's a bit confusing how to get in the place but it's located on the second... floor. We arrived for lunch and we're promptly greeted and seated. Lunch menu has lots of options and our party got a Caesarsalad, pizza and eggplant sandwich. Everything was great. Service was great, overall a good time. Read more

I went on 07/08/22, when I walked in the manager PJ was very nice to us but my trouble started when we met our server. She never... introduced herself so I don't know her name. My girlfriend had asked her if they had chicken parm on the menu and she gave herthe dirtiest look and said "absolutely not" as if it was such a crazy request, I couldn't believe they call themselves an "italian restaurant " but they don't even sell chicken parm or angel hair. Which I thought was bizarre. It wouldn't of been sucha big deal to me if she didn't give my girlfriend a dirty look and make her feel uncomfortable for asking. She continued to beonly respectful and polite to my me but was rude to her which I found unprofessional given my girlfriend didn't do anythingwrong, for her to be treated unfairly. I don't recommend this establishment the portions are very small and over priced to behonest Uno's has more to offer then this overrated restaurant. If you enjoy being disrespected and overpaying then this is theplace for you. Read more

For all the hype and for how “upscale” they present themselves as an Italian Steakhouse, food was just ok. Not better than a... non-fancy steakhouse. Prices do not reflect the quality. Best dish we had was the appetizers. Outside of that, I’m glad thiswas a gift and I didn’t have to pay my own money for this meal. A place I won’t be going back to. Read more

Good spot. Pretty big dining area with more expansive seating in the back along the windows. Service was what you'd hope for a... higher-end steakhouse. Strip steak was good. Calamari is also very good, especially with the aioli. Large menu options for foodand an enormous and diverse wine list. Read more

The food is great from an excellent menu. Also inventive, tasty cocktails. However, for a high end restaurant the service was... lackluster, simply not attentive. Lots of sloppy little misses, like no hors d'oeuvre plate, two drink menu's but no main menu,very slow initial waiter greeting after being seated. I would have to think twice about whether I would come here for a specialoccasion. Read more

Wow. I recently planned a wedding rehearsal dinner that doubled in size shortly before the event. Alix stepped it up and made it... happen. Several guests had celiac and other allergies. Not a problem, the fantastic chef and pastry chef adjusted menus andcreated one of the best GF AND DF chocolate cakes I've ever had. The salmon entree is a must-have. Excellent, attentive graciouswaitstaff was the icing on a beautiful meal and event. Heads up, this restaurant shares an entrance with a movie theatre. Noworries, take the elevator to your right or go up the escalators to the second floor. Enjoy this slice of heaven, called thewine room. Read more

Our birthday party of 10 had dinner at the Chestnut Hill Davios on Monday. It was a quiet night at the restaurant, and they ... made a lovely party for us. First, the room. The restaurant is on the second floor so feels bright and airy. The table issteakhouse-proper, good white linens, glasses and silver. After we sat down baskets of big popovers came, plenty for everyone,with butter. It is a solid steakhouse menu, To start the kitchen split a Caesar for my husband and me, and correctly gave meall the silver anchovies. The menu is broad. I ordered roasted cod and my husband, grilled shrimp, but at our end of the tableothers ordered a flatiron steak, and short ribs. All the dishes were well plated, the main nicely presented with properly donesides. The green bean and asparagus sides were generous and well seasoned. For dessert there was a birthday cake, of course. Itwas a beautiful chocolate cake, dressed with candles and a birthday wish. Very nice. We didn't order drinks but I must say thewater on the table was a surprise. They must have terrific filters because it was sparking clean, a detail but so good. There'splenty on the menu for vegetarians and gluten free diners. Although the room is formal, children would be happy here,too. Service was professional, brisk and pleasant, There is an elevator to the second floor, and the restaurant is handicapaccessible. There's plenty of mall parking, plus handicap parking right by the entrance. Read more

We went to Davio’s for a post-Christmas dinner. This was our splurge meal for the year and it did not disappoint. The food was... cooked to perfection and the added bonus of the caramelized onions on the side with the steak was a pleasant surprise. We hadthe meatball appetizer as suggested by our waiter and it was delicious. The table service was quick and efficient. Overall, Iwould definitely frequent Davio’s again. Read more
