Absolelty wonderful meal. Got a steak, warm spinach salad and tuna tar tar! Unfortunately the sweet corn risotto showed gluten in my Nima. The manager handled it according and let the chef know. Would certainly return.

Staff was extremely knowledgeable and careful about making sure that everything was gluten free and no cross contamination. We had the truffle gnocchi, the Bolognese with gnocchi. Everything was delicious (including the gluten free roll!) and no issues afterwards

This place is just.. nuts. The gf bread is the best I’ve ever had. They make it fresh daily and it even has CHEESE on it like the artisan breads. Also, I had the penne applewood chicken pasta and it was incredible. Worth the price and experience by far! Will absolutely return if in Philly again.

First off, I am a gluten-free diner. To be able to cone to an Italian restaurant with Handcrafted pasta and be able to order gluten-free handcrafted gnocchi is extremely exceptional. I haven’t had a gluten free gnocchi since Rome two years ago. It was exceptionally fresh, tasty and wonderful. I can only hope that they could build an outpost in the Dallas area.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Philadelphia so far. They make their pastas and gnocchi fresh in house and they're gluten free bread too--which is insanely good (my boyfriend is not gluten free and was obsessed with it). Highly recommend.

Amazing Dinner- start to finish- many gluten free options. Delicious food. You will be tempted to ask for more gluten free bread because you never have any when you eat out...but don't you won't finish you dinner if you do! Wonderful experience. Wish I lived closer to Philadelphia just to have this restaurant as an option. It is pricy. But worth it!

I would give this 6 stars if I could. Amazing gluten free options. Separate menu with almost as many options as regular menu. Our waiter, Rene' was also amazing. The service and food were exceptional. Very expensive though. I would also give this $$$$.

I attended a wedding rehearsal dinner here during Veteran's Day week-end. Peter Joly, the manager, made this one of the most memorable and amazing meals I have ever eaten. I am not allergy to wheat/flour, but sulfites (found in wine and wine vinegars) and all milk products. He had his chefs make me a risotto and tuna steak with veggies, so decadent I took a picture of it. He also had a dessert of about 3 cups of luscious, ripe blueberries, blackberries,strawberries and raspberries> I was nervous because there were so many allergens; Peter checked on me frequently and made my first time as a customer to Davio's very special and memorable.

Davio's is absolutely phenomenal! I was able to order a GF pasta dish which tasted way too good to be true, but it was! The staff was very friendly and their menu is awesome as well, if you're looking for a place to eat without worrying about being sick after this is the place to go!

My meal at this restaurant is probably one of the best meals I've eaten. The gluten-free menu is large.I had duck, tender, perfectly cooked, pink in the middle. The sauce on it is sweet but not overly, complimenting the delicious fowl. Served with polenta and root vegetables, a delight to the senses. The meal started with a tasty gluten free roll. I was too full for dessert but tasted my husband's crème brulée, very nice. The waiter, Daniel, is professional but not stuffy, very kind and conversational. It is expensive, but deserves another reservation.
