   We were with a group of people that we have not seen in a long time and the waiter was very patient with us as we were talking more than we  looking at menus. We spent 3 1/2 hours there and it was wonderful.

   Our waitress Jasmine was wonderful. She had offered great recommendations and patiently answered our questions. The only negative comment would be for their wine selection. Many were unavailable/out of stock. Price for a house cabernet was very high. Sean Hernandez the manager was very inviting and we had pleasant conversation. Thanks

   Food was great. My only concern, and it was a significant one, was that they refused to seat us at a standard table even though I specified it in the reservation. We were told there was a private party, however there were many low tables available. Being forced to sit at a high top table was very difficult for my 5’ tall elderly mother who needed assistance to get on and off of the chair.

   Friendly staff, loved the ambiance, food was all amazing; bruschetta- best we’ve had, escarole salad, Nonna’s meatball appetizer, and Dana’s bolognese were EACH amazing!! One item that really took us by surprise was the brownie dessert, did not expect how amazing that was . Definitely will be returning again!

   food was good. Service ok the wait staff needs to learn how not to intreupt when there is a serious conversation going on. Why do restaurants always sit tables so close together when the place isn't busy and there are many open tables. The table next to us was so load we couldn't hear each other.

   This was my second time here on a Sunday with different people each time. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers, meals and desserts first time around, we had a table of 4 then. Yesterday we had a table of two. We started with the calamari which was fried to perfection, finally some not over cooked calamari which seems to NOT be the standard at other restaurants and I loved the slices of peppers in it. The beets with a smear of walnut butter and crème fresch was a very nice surprise of flavor combinations! We absolutely loved the farro squash dish, wonderful textures and flavors. We also had a burger that was very good, flavorful and cooked just the way we ordered it along with their crispy coated fries that were too delicious to stop at few. In addition we had the Orrecchiette and the Agnolotti pasta dishes were very flavorful, came out piping hot and pasta was cooked to perfect for me Al dente. To round it off we had a cup of cappuccino and the espresso with gelato and cookie. Yes it’s a lot of food haha! We were in no rush so we were there quite a long time and took leftovers home which I’m looking forward to later on tonight for dinner! The attentive service is excellent with waiters and busboys cleaning off and replacing dishes instantly. We had Brian recently, he’s a very personable on his game guy who made sure we had everything we needed which made our meal so much more enjoyable, thank you Brian! I love the atmosphere here so much I wish I could have my home decorated this way, it’s so warm and cozy yet still filled with light. I could literally hang out here all day and I’m sure at night it has to be beautiful too! I’ll definitely be back again to bring other family here, thank you for a great experience Devanti !

   I forever loved this place and chose it for my birthday dinner with my mother. The menu was redone with some favorites. The only beef dish was a burger. No specials. None as the server pitched the redone menu meh. Upon waiting for a simple glass of Chardonnay after ten minutes we left for fear of things to come. I’m sure the food is good we never got that far. They must be under new management/ownership. I have had nothing but praise for Davanti in my previous 20+ visits. Unfortunately, I can go anywhere for the experience we had last evening. Bye Davanti, I will remove you from my go to list🥵 check out my review from 12/25/2023. Nothing but praise on a Christmas night also with my mother.
