The food was amazing! Everything was nice and fresh. My son enjoyed his first filet mignon. He said it melted in his mouth like butter! And my first time trying halibut was great! We also had an order of Philly cheesesteak spring rolls and Rockefeller oysters that were perfect! I can’t wait to go back.

I recently dined at Davio's in Braintree, MA, and it was an exceptional experience! I had the pleasure of enjoying amazing chicken livers, prawns, and broccoli, and each dish was truly elevated in both flavor and presentation. The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, with warm lighting that created a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere—perfect for a special night out. Our waiter was fantastic; he was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The entire staff at Davio's was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place that offers delicious food in a lovely setting, I highly recommend Davio's! I can't wait to return and try more from their menu.

Fantastic service! Above and beyond exceptional! I wanted a special order for Pizza, and my waiter, Keith, made it happen. I wanted a special mock tail, and Keith made that happen too. Our food was phenomenal, but the staff made the place as delightful as it was (bunny ears and all). Highly recommend!!!!

Traveled to visit buy buy baby and we found what looked to be a great restaurant online. The chicken parm spring rolls was the bate that hooked us in! The restaurant is gorgeous inside and a friendly staff.. the food tasted like it a much lower price point. The chicken parm spring rolls were certainly not hand made atleast not recently. The bread served after sitting is dry with a dusting of cinnamon and plain butter in a little bowl.. my burger was delicious. My daughters spaghetti was normal and priced at $18 but jumped to $43 when added two meatballs! Listen up, I'll pay anything for a delicious meatball.. but these were not flavorful nor were they even as good as a frozen meatball from costco.. my wife's pasta was in a sauce that was more like soup with tiny pieces of chickenthat tasted reheated. GORDON RAMSEY WOULD NOT HAVE LIKED THIS!.. I regret this choice & I have remorse after paying my bill.

Very good meal here. Expectation is high and they deliver. Menu is vast and has lots of combinations. I would consistently recommend getting filet here. Their cuts are very clean and cooked precisely to your request. Our waiter Rick the V was very helpful. We had a reservation so I'm not sure how easy it is to walk in.

Came on a limb expecting very good things, was sat down really slow. Took 10 minutes to be seated which was a really long time considering there was no one there and we were at the head of the host desk. When we were finally seated, it took a while for our waiter to even acknowledge us. Once acknowledged he only gave us water and wasn’t ready to take any orders. When he came back after 15 minutes and took our orders, the calamari appetizer did come out relatively quick. The calamari was tasty and spicy as you’d expect from an Italian restaurant. After another 25 minute wait, the food came out and it was disappointing. The salmon was good but the 8oz fillet mignon was not. I asked for medium rare and it was cooked unevenly. Some parts were rare, medium rare, and medium. The steak also didn’t feel like much of a steak because anytime you cut into it, it just fell apart. The brussel sprouts were very sweet and over caramelized. After we were finished we proceeded to wait another half an hour for our bill to arrive. Overall our experience was not good. Long wait times. Decent food. And very over priced. Would not come back again or recommend.

After a terrible experience in a different place we came here and I am so glad we did! The ambience, the staff , the food , the service etc was just awesome! Our server Diane was outstanding. All items were fresh and delicious. The homemade butter was to die for.
