Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

Great experience, would recommend. Had apps and wine. All good portions for the price you pay

Davio's serves a fairly standard of offerings expected from a steakhouse, and their team does an excellent job at it, for a complete experience. Their team is top-tier professional, from hosting to maitre de to the chefs and bartenders. The most expensive dishes will seem higher than typical for their class, while more inclusive dishes will seem like a bargain. The steaks were the temperature we ordered and leaned slightly rare, which was great. I need to try the aged ribeye but my flatiron was perfect, and no joke: perhaps the best asparagus i've ever had dining out. I expected a spot like this to over-salt, and i was wrong, everything seemed right including the excellent mashed potatoes. Ambience was nice: classic yet open and airy. It's a big space near office buildings so i'd expect a loud lunch crowd or heavy on friday nights but just a guess. Maybe i was just v hungry or swayed by the skilled and professional staff, but i think my ratings are accurate. Cocktails? Great. A smooth and balanced Manhattan was spot-on. I'll definitely be going back to Davio's if i find myself in Reston or nearby. Why wait an extra hour or two for a table in DC, just make a reservation at Davio's.

My pasta dish with prawns that was unpalatable . I loved the pasta but one bite of what felt like mushy shrimp was just gross. No apology really but asked what else. Got acravcake that was too full of fillers so close to the coast in my opinion . Sadly would not recommend.

Excellent service and food quality was good. We are repeat diners and have never been disappointed.

I'm always happy when I know I'm going to have a meal at Davio's! The ‘Power Lunch' is a great deal!

Kevin was great and the food was amazing. The service , attention and the restaurant was 5 star.

This place is great! We have lived in the area for 5 years and ordered take out a bunch of times, but this was the first time we actually sat inside. The service was excellent, really friendly attentive staff. Mark was our server and he was superb. We ordered cocktails, soup and salad to start. Then the sea bass and butternut squash pasta and some wine for our main. All excellent! Our 2 year old came with us and they even gave her fresh bread to take home because she loved it so much. We will probably be regulars there now!

We went during restaurant week, and the set menu was fabulous. Watermelon gazpacho soup was fresh, full of flavor, and so delicious. I had a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak for my entrée that was one of the best steaks I have ever had. The butter cake dessert with sour cream gelato was a perfect end to an excellent meal. Service was professional and very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend and look forward to going back.

VERY disappointed. went there to celebrate my moms birthday. they gave us a card stand, which was nice, but that was probably the best thing that happened.

Drinks took almost an hour to get to us, there were only 5 of us and 4 of us got drinks. Had to ask multiple times where our drinks were.

Appetizers came out relatively fast compared to when our entrees came out, doesn’t say much though as the entrees came out almost and hour and a half later. As well, the steak that was ordered medium, was RAW, not rare, RAW. Told our server and got the manager. Server was apologetic and she was good, but the manager did not even apologize. When they brought our steak back to the table to “fix it” the steak was rare at best still. But we didn’t wanna say anything as we were all finished eating by the time the new steak came and it wasn’t worth the further hassle.

The birthday dessert was comped, but no candle. They should have comped at least half the steak meal as well, especially with the long wait time and poor service overall. One of the longest wait times at a high end restaurant like this. Spent over $500 for poor service and experience.

Would not come again. Eddie V’s is much better and the service is 1000 times better!!

Great experience, Great staff, Great food
We had a private party and the food, the staff and the room we booked were all above what we expected. Beautiful space and hardwood floors, just everything.
Planning already to come back for our anniversary.
Lots of people helped in person and on the phone when we were planning and of course the servers that night. Wonderful place.

Riccardo and Blanca were my friends in this place. They made my time at this restaurant enjoyable and delightful.
The food is excellent, I had the skirt steak with lobster based on their suggestion, and it was truly a treat. I’m sure I’ll be back.

I had a private baby shower here, and I’m so glad I chose Davio’s. Carlos, the event manager, was on top of everything, and the staff on the day was perfect. The food was excellent, especially the gnocchi. Also, my cake, which the baker made, was incredible. All of my guests raved about how good it was. I'm so happy we hosted my event here and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful restaurant, good design, great concept. The food was good but not excellent. tuna tartare was nice presentation, but the herb pasta chip was soggy due to moisture absorption. Crab cake was one of the best I have ever had. No bread crumbs and very good flavor. the 55 days aged rib eye steak had no flavor of aged steak at all. Fault advertisement! Just like a lot of restaurants advertised Kobe beef, but actually it was not.
The cannoli dessert was nice and crispy, garnished with seasonal berries. the Nebiolo grappa (eau de vie) was nice. The espresso coffee was not up to Italian standard. I didn't get a creamy layer of crema on the Italian espresso.
Not sure why they served dinner fork with dessert. There was no salad fork or dessert forks in the restaurant. The sauces ordered additional to the steak was not served with the spoons. Additional sauteed spinach was nice.
the service was lack of details. My server/bartender tried her best.
