Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

Extensive menu for GF but poor service. They have GF popovers for appetizer before food comes and they amazing, but theyre stingy with them. Manager delivered my meal himself with a “enjoy safely” which was very nice. Good overall taste!

I ate here twice on a recent work trip to Boston. The staff was outstanding and so careful with my celiac needs. They brought gluten-free bread at the beginning the meal, but it was good, not great so I save room for the rest. I loved the warm spinach salad, salmon with Brussels sprouts, and a custom dessert of a semi-fredo with berries. The second night I had a tuna tartare appetizer, Caesar salad, steak with potatoes and asparagus, and berries for dessert. It was all outstanding! I will definitely go back.

We got take out from Davio’s last night, and it was amazing! My gluten free pasta was in a separate container and clearly labeled, and I even got to have some gluten free rolls! It felt safe and tasted great and I didn’t get sick!

Be sure to be cautious and double check your food at this location. I was brought over pasta with red sauce, and they had given me plain regular spaghetti instead of gluten free noodles. I was assured it was gluten free, but I waited to eat it because it didn’t look right to me. About two minutes later, the manager came over and took the dish letting me know they made a mistake. The pasta they gave me after was a different kind of pasta and was definitely gluten free. The red sauce was amazing, but definitely double check with your server! It did make me a bit paranoid for the rest of my trip.

Very nice restaurant. Went to this location last night before a show at Wilbur Theater. They brought me GF bread with my own butter dish right away. I ordered the GF gnocchi (see picture). It was very soft in texture, not something I’m use to, but I didn’t have any problems. We didn’t order dessert but were given two coconut macaroons to go which were also GF.

Davios does an amazing job with gluten free. They have a huge gf menu (you have to ask for it as it’s a separate menu) that includes homemade gnocchi and pasta. They are very cautious about food allergies. After I mentioned I had a gluten allergy (Celiac) they brought out gf bread without asking (in its own basket which had a different color napkin to indicate gf even though it was very obvious which bread was not gf), automatically subbed the bread that came with the app I ordered with gf bread (a different kind than the free gf bread) and explained which items on the dessert menu could be made gf. For each course they brought out they confirmed with me that my dish was gf without me asking.

Pricey, but so worth it to feel safe!

Unfortunately I have to share that our daughter was glutened and very sick after dinner last night. She had ordered pasta and we were told they were out but had some GF penne. Not sure if that is the source but she’s been very sick and we’ve lost a day of vacation. Appreciate that they seemed knowledgeable and accommodating but she definitely was glutened so celiacs beware.

Lots of options in the gluten free menu. Food was the best I’ve had in years out of a restaurant. Service was top notch. Their home made gluten free bread was really good. The desert we picked out, so good.

Will be going to Davios again in the future

Really good! They can make almost everything gluten free. I tried two different pastas (they were able to do a half portion of each) & it was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was extremely helpful and they had a GF menu with a lot of options. Highly suggest it

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of awesome choices ! They brought GF bread out too :) I had the pasta bolognese and panna cotta :)

Staff was knowledgeable about celiac disease and gluten free dining . Separate GF menu with tons of selection. Food was delicious- homemade gnocchi with mushrooms was out of this world. They Even serve yummy GF rolls instead of bread basket. Friendliest staff I have ever met. They really go out of their way to make sure you are enjoying your experience. Service was definitely 5 star! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant really is amazing. GF menu with so many options. Waitress saw I had a GF menu and immediately mentioned it and asked if I was celiac. Then brought out warmed GF bread - first time I have ever been offered. Then the most delicious GF pasta meal followed by complimentary chocolates (GF). The waitress was knowledgeable and so professional. Cannot recommend more highly - so good!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Phenomenal. The hostess asked about my allergy, and communicated it to both my waitress and the guy who brought THE MOST AMAZING GF ROLLS. I told the waitress I was trying to decide between two pasta dishes, and she offered that I could do half and half. Both were amazing. I didn’t have room for dessert, but there were 2 gf options. Overall the staff was super knowledgeable about the gf options and the food was really good.

Delicious food, conscientious staff. Gf bread was yummy

The staff was super accommodating and very friendly! One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time! I would recommend this place to everyone going to Boston, whether they are gluten-free or not!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is FANTASTIC! Amazing GF bread and house made pasta and gnocchi. I couldn't decide and the waitress offered to have them do half portions so I could try a couple things and it was PERFECT. The lobster risotto and the Bolognese were both truly wonderful. I stopped and just savored as soon as I put them in my mouth. I sat at the chef's bar and had very attentive service with the manager stopping by to confirm my gluten free food. Truly could not have had a better experience. I WILL be back.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service, atmosphere, attention to detail, and GF offerings. We've been big fans of Nebo, but Davio's may honestly have become our new favorite restaurant in Boston for special occasions!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I never write reviews but this is important. In theory this restaurant is celiac friendly. They have a whole gluten free menu. I ordered the gluten free sausage and broccoli raab pasta and smoked chicken and walnuts with cream sauce. They had a gluten free pasta option and gluten free gnocchi. Both of the items I ordered came with the same kind of pasta, so I asked that the cream sauce dish come with the gluten free gnocchi instead. When my meal came, both dishes came with the gluten free pasta. My waiter didn't write down my order (also anxiety provoking for someone with celiac) so I don't know if it was his mistake or the kitchen staff's. I sent the one dish back and had them make it with the gluten free gnocchi as ordered. But there were so many people running my food, (not my waiter) that I worried the whole time I was eating it that they had accidentally given me gnocchi with wheat instead. I was greeted with a basket of wheat rolls and as I was finished a cart of wheat desserts were wheeled to my table. The food was amazing but I'm going to be worried about the gnocchi :( I have celiac and hashimotos and celiac response flares my hashimotos autoimmune response. The only reason why I went here is because Nebo was closed on Sunday My experience was much better there. If you need gluten free in boston, I suggest Nebo!

Went to Davio’s for the first time this past weekend with my boyfriend for his birthday. They have a huge GF menu with the best steak I’ve ever had. The waiter even brought out some complimentary GF fudge for him after the meal! Will definitely be going back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable and educated on celiac. Ate dinner and felt great!

Celiac friendly?

Unfortunately, Davio's was one of my favorite GF friendly restaurants that I had never got sick at until this week. The GM informed me after eating 5-6 bites that the meal I was given was not allergen free (GF/dairy-free). Although they did make me a new dish and removed the meal from my bill, I still suffered the consequences of this mix up that night. Please advocate for yourself to ensure your dish is indeed GF!

Celiac friendly?

Extensive menu (availabile online) with antipasta/salad /pasta /main course/sides sections with 8+ choices each. Attentive service, and they were able to easily accommodate my dairy allergy as well. Portions are large, reflecting the steakhouse approach. The braised pork belly was the highlight.

tons of selection, extremely celiac safe, and delicious food.

Celiac friendly?

Very celiac friendly with a great menu. One of the best places I have been to. All parts of the menu have excellent gluten free options..

Celiac friendly?

Beautiful restaurant and service. Extensive GF menu, better than anticipated. And when you can't decide between the penne with lobster and uni butter or the gnocchi with mushrooms & truffle oil, get a half/app serving of both instead! We also had the lobster risotto. There was a significant chunk of fresh lobster with each bite! They'll bring out fresh gf rolls (popover-ish in looks but more of a muffin texture that leaves a little to be desired but definitely fresh and warm and so nice to have a gf roll that isn't a warmed up Udi's) My husband has an auto-immune disease, so can't confirm right away whether or not he's been glutened, but they seem to take it very seriously. Our server said her sister-in-law is celiac so she appreciates the struggle for options and dining out. We felt confident they understand the importance of a GF meal. I will mention, servers seem to work as team, so maybe make sure they're all aware of allergy/restrictions. Oh, I forgot, we also had the crispy pork belly for an app. Delicious. Would go back today if we weren't still full from last night!

The most extensive gluten free menu I've ever encountered in an Italian restaurant. In fact, I was out of town attending a conference & ended up eating there all three nights of my stay. I sat at the bar & was treated like royalty. The gnocchi was out of this world as were the two other dishes I had!!! Anna, Danielle, Kim, Erin & Juan the bar back were attentive to my every need, friendly beyond belief, & helpful at recommending food & wine. In fact, my experience was so positive, I am driving 13 hours just to return to Boston & Davio's with my husband & daughter. That's how much I loved these people & the food. I wish it was closer. It is a MUST visit for gluten free dining at it finest!!!

They are well versed in celiac and GF and have a gluten free menu bigger than many restaurant's full menus! They also have a GF penne that they will serve with any of their pasta sauces. They don't make it in house, but they have it, which works for me.

Several members of our group had celiac and the staff was knowledgeable & attentive to our needs. The server noticed we were holding GF menus and offered to bring GF rolls (which were house-made & delicious) along with dedicated butter before we even asked. The dessert cart server must have also been informed about our GF needs before coming to our table because she pointed out which options were GF before we even asked. When we had a question about one, she said she believed it was GF but wanted to confirm it. She returned promptly with an answer that it too was safe. The manager delivered our GF meals. The GF menu is extensive and there were several GF dessert options too. We’ve been there often and never had a problem. Great food & good service!

Would definitely come back to this Davios! As soon as we sat down I was given a gluten free menu and rolls were ordered for me. The gluten free gnocchi is very soft, but delicious. We also ordered the GF baked Alaska which had a flourless cake topped with strawberry gelato under the toasted meringue. Of course when we left we were also given the GF coconut macaroons!
