    Tito's shaker but really Grey Goose - Lemon Drop Martinis!
    Daniel B.

    Can I tell you how happy I am this wonderful restaurant literally rose from the ashes?! They had a accident that set them back for a period of time but they haven't skipped a beat upon their return as a well-established fixture here in town. Ownership here really show their labor-of-love in every aspect. And Bill is a true gentleman who'll naturally make you feel at home at Davia's. And of course, the food - both the variety on the menu and the specials - always inventive and delicious! I joined my wife and friends later in the evening and crashed their party with a quick cocktail and some dessert, but all around the table, not surprisingly, everyone loved their short rib pappardelle special and seafood dishes that evening. Bill walked over a nice Whiskey sour to help me celebrate the Giants' wild card win (watch out Eagles! ) and it was as if I were there throughout the dinner. So welcoming! Looking forward to many more memories here! Keep doing what you're doing Davia!

    This should really be a 3.5 Star review ( but I'll round up for the great service by our waiter Bill). Actually I was expecting a little more out of the experience especially since I know people who have high regards for Davia. I will note that it was closed for a small time due to a fire and that hurts a business in many ways and can take years to fully recover. Service all around was friendly. Food fairly priced. A few standouts. But this Phoenix has a but more to go to fully rise form the ashes. Bar area is approx 14 stools and seemed to be an older, more local crowd. ( it was a Wednesday). bartender seemed a bit shaky and booze, beer, and wine selections were a bit sparse. No vermouth to make me a martini, really? How's that happen ? But we come for... THE FOOD... The Shrimp & Artichoke Mustarde ( app) with a tarragon-Dijon brandy sauce was VERY good. Smaller size in portion but plenty of flavor. However the fried calamari fell flat. 99.5% sure they were frozen. The Entree menu had a nice variety of Italian dishes as well as some continental classics like Beef wellington and rack of lamb. I had the Veal Pontevecchio: medallions of veal with shrimp, spinach, sun-dried tomato in a brandy cream sauce which was very good. Another entree tried was the Chicken Due Volte which is a fried chicken cutlet, with eggplant, sausage, fresh mozzarella in a pink sauce. Sounds amazing, but was just very good. I would try this again and still recommend it. There are some home made dessert offerings. Parking lot in rear.

    From start to finish amazing is all I can say! Bill was our waiter and he was warm and friendly . Made great recommendations , not that you can go wrong with anything here! We started with mussels which were cooked with white wine, hot peppers and plum tomatoes. To die for! Then we each had a salad and for our main course it was penne with vodka sauce and seafood risotto. Both were perfect. We thought we were too full for dessert but once we heard that there was a pistachio regatta cheesecake we had to try it. An absolutely amazing dessert so light we didn't feel guilty at all.! This is somewhere to definitely come back to!

    Veal with shrimp spinach and crab meat in a white wine cream sauce. OMG !!!

    Outstanding. The menu is wide and varied and reasonably priced. The service was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. Perfect. I can't wait to go back. So glad I found this spot. Wow.

    I wasn't expecting the food to be as good or as diverse as it was, but it was a truly great experience. My friend and I stopped in here before a meeting, and I have to admit that at first we were put off because even though we're in our 50s, we were the youngest people there. Then we realized that the other clientele were all there for the early bird specials, haha. I ordered the potato encrusted grouper from the specials, and it was really on point. Loved the blend of flavors! My friend ordered Tre Fungi in a sage butter cream sauce, and declared that it was to die for. We couldn't have been happier with our choices. He had red wine, I didn't partake because of my upcoming meeting. After dinner we had coffee and eschewed dessert. The hostess brought us little Italian almond cookies anyway, and I have to admit they were excellent. We'll definitely be revisiting this place!

The menu isn't massive, but they cover every category with extreme precision and do it really well. Seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and all the classic appetizers you can think of from stuffed artichokes, zucchini blossoms, and house-made burrata. The ambiance is old-school Italian in the best way: timeless, romantic, and cozy. It works just as well for an intimate date night as it does for a small group dinner. Bonus points for being BYOB. We ordered the veal marsala and the seafood pomodoro. The veal was pounded to perfection and swimming in a ridiculously addictive sauce. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly and loaded with fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels and you can taste the quality and care put in the food. Meals are served with a salad to start, and you can expect to spend around $35 per entrée, which feels more than fair for the quality. We were genuinely impressed and were treated with a lot of attention throughout the meal. The concept of the restaurant being run by two italian twins was honestly so sweet. Highly recommend if you're looking for classic Italian done right without trekking into the city.

I felt a little like Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas". The service was excellent and our waiter rattled off an extensive list of daily specials and they all sounded wonderful. We settled on burrata and a fried vegetable appetizer. The burrata was good but the fried thing was even better. I wish I could remember what it was because it was so good. I guess that's what I get for writing my reviews 2 months later. It was some kind of vegetable stuffed with cheese, battered and fried. It wasn't too oily and all the flavors and textures went well together. For our entrees we went with linguini in clam sauce and cavatelli, broccoli rabe, & sausage. The linguini was a solid plate of pasta. Linguini, clams, sauce. It tasted exactly how you expect it would and the pasta was cooked well. The cavatelli was much more interesting to me. The different textures and flavors really made it a joy to eat. The pasta was al dente while some of the sausage had some crispy bits to it. And the broccoli rabe kind of made me feeling like I was eating somewhat healthy The ambiance was nice if not a little dated. Not bad though, it was cozy. I'd come back, but not too often. It's pricey.

The dining area is one room adorned with attractive art decor and a glass wall overlooking the main road. The Caesar salad was a light, yet satisfying starter. The romaine lettuce, croutons and house made dressing blended the perfect trio! If you are looking for an appetizer with a touch of sweet and spice, the sausage & broccoli rabe will do the trick. The protein and vegetable blended well together with some diced tomatoes thrown on top. As always, I can never visit any Italian establishment without trying the Chicken Parmesan. For the most part, it did not disappoint. My sole critique is the excess amount of moisture beneath the linguini. I also used any extra mozzarella cheese as a topping for the pasta and table bread. Named after its restaurant, the chicken ciao bella was breaded and pan fried. The lemon butter sauce definitely added flavor to the cutlets and the side vegetables were just as "bella" as the main entree. The coffee flavored dessert was paradise. The taste as so rich and pure in flavor, you definitely didn't need coffee either this final course. I highly recommend this location if you want a decent meal at reasonable price.
