Honestly, I was so disappointed. The food was obviously made ahead of time and had little to no flavor. The past was blah, overcooked and mushy. The sauces were boring with no flavor. This is not Italian food and to top it off the zucchini blossoms were coated in layers of dough and we couldn't tell what they actually were. They were also clearly using oil that they fried shellfish in, we could taste it. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone and we certainly won't be going back.

Ok and good, but not great.. had a special chick and parm. It was average. I'm not picky, and this was just middle of the road for me. I will come back for a second try.

My husband's branzino was of very low quality. He said it seemed to have been frozen, then thawed and cooked. He found it to be the worst fish he has eaten in a restaurant. Very disappointing from Davanti, which we always enjoyed in the past.

As someone who is gluten-free, I really appreciate how they label items on their menu. There were 4 of us, and I would say overall the group was happy, but some meals were far better than others. We sat outside and could still hear quite a bit of noise from inside.
My family and I went there for dinner before a movie. We ordered several appetizers and entrees to share. Food tasted bland. Everything tasted like it needed salt. Wine was good and the service was good.

both brunch and dinner are incredible here! The focaccia di recca and caccio e peppe are delicious, fresh, and authentic. The ambiance and service are incredibly as well ?

The ambience and food here was top-notch. We picked this place because they had an available reservation for nine people which ended up being seven. The owner was so nice and everything was excellent. we did have a hard time finding the place because of Apple Maps not being specific where it was located in the mall but other than that, everything was perfect! We will definitely be back the next time we come back from Arizona!

Highly recommend coming to Davanti Enoteca for brunch. Everything was just amazing. I ordered the steak and eggs while my sister ordered the Ricotta pancakes. We shared a plate of the focaccia with honeycomb. The steak and eggs were cooked to perfection while the house potatoes were well seasoned. The focaccia was so decadent with the honey and honeycomb, it made me feel like a Roman emperor. The ice cold water was especially welcome considering the hot California summer heat creeping in at this time of the year. The server was fantastic and so accommodating, just very friendly and kind.
Bathrooms were also very nice and clean!! 10/10 would recommend just for the atmosphere alone.

We go here frequently for dinner. Always great service! The focaccia with the cheese and honey is to die for! The pastas are good. My son had the burger and thought it was excellent.
Service was top-notch. Host was happy to offer recommendations and we were thrilled we listened. The cheese- stuffed honey focaccia was incredible. We tried everything from the steak special to pizza to Seafood to charcuterie to pasta and it was all incredible. Highly recommend

They asked us to leave as we were still eating. The food was not that great but good. The quality compared to the price was not right.

My family was there today for Mother's Day Brunch. The food arrived cold after a 45 minute wait. Also, there were hairs in one of the dishes. We mentioned it to the waiter and he didn't even say sorry or anything. We'll definitely not come back.
