Gluten-Free at Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

Amazing food. They confirmed they would change gloves and have a clean prep area. Had gluten free rolls.

Wish I could give it a higher rating but this is the 3rd time coming here where we left disappointed. For such an expensive restaurant, you expect the best. Pizza crust is dry, flat and brittle. Paninis are an over toasted udis roll. When they brought me my Panini it came with french fries, and I said oh wow the french fries are gluten-free? And they immediately grabbed them for me saying- no no that is not gluten-free and I said I need the whole meal to be gluten free and they said oh the paninis is- and were not willing to take it back to the kitchen. The server said yeah i kept telling them it had to be gluten free but was worried they wouldn’t listen. Not worth the price or hassle.

Excellent food, extensive GF menu, GF “dinner rolls”, great and gluten-aware service. Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. Sent me home with 2 GF maccaroons.

The staff were knowledgeable about the separate gluten free menu. Many options to choose from including appetizers and desserts. The server was friendly and the service was outstanding. The prices are typical for an upscale restaurant. Policies in place to reduce risk of cross contact. Pizza cooked in same oven but separate area and utensils. My pizza was brought to the table separately from the other meals. I enjoyed the complimentary bread and the pizza was good. No ill effects from eating here and will definitely go back. As a sensitive celiac, I felt as safe as possible at a non dedicated restaurant.

I have ordered takeout from here 6 or 7 times, and have received items with gluten three times now. If you receive bread with your order that does not look like a muffin, or if you receive pasta that is not caserecci, I would be careful. The food is absolutely 5 stars though when they are not being careless.

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.

We enjoyed a very nice dinner here. They have a wide variety of gluten free options. There were plenty of appetizers, salads, pastas/risottos, mains, steaks and fish and plenty of sides. They offer the pastas/risottos in a half portion for an appetizer with many different flavors.

I enjoyed a shrimp risotto for an appetizer that was so flavorful and delicious. I had the chicken for dinner that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were amazingly delicious and the sauce that came with the chicken was so good. For dessert I was able to enjoy the baked Alaska - it was made with gluten free coconut cake and coconut gelato and a delicious sauce.

The rest of the table were gluten eating so they started off with popovers and ended the meal with a coconut macaroon that I was not able to enjoy. I was a bit disappointed they had such an extensive gluten free menu but not a gluten free roll to start with like everyone else.

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I am surprised to see the negative reviews about Davios I have worked there for 10 years and I can assure you they take allergies very seriously. There are multiple steps applied for all food allergies. I am sorry for anyone that had a negative experience. The management and staff are some of the most genuine people I have ever worked with

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

My 17 year old Celiac son was there last weekend. They chose this restaurant based on the high reviews. He ordered NY Sirloin strip steak and Brussels sprouts and had to run to the restroom to vomit twice before he was even through the meal. He was absolutely glutened here. Disappointing.

The staff was extremely attentive and they offered me an entire gluten free menu when I asked. They made sure I knew my food was gluten free and even offered me gluten free bread when the rest of the table got theirs. I ordered the chicken panini, which wasn’t really a panini. It was a piece of chicken with prosciutto and cheese on top and a hot roll on the side. Not really what I was expecting and I was a little disappointed because I was so excited for my first gluten free panini. It tasted alright, mostly just like a chicken breast covered in cheese. The chef/waiters also gave me complimentary fingerling potatoes which were also good. A little disappointed, but I imagine if you ordered something else it would be great. Staff was really amazing. Mimosas and Bellinis were great too.

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!

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.

Amazing! I’ve been to another location and it’s been kept under my phone number that I have Celiac so they knew when i made the reservation. Separate gluten-free menu brought to me without my having to ask. Delicious gluten-free popovers brought to the table in their own basket (with a black napkin liner to indicate GF. Our server was very on top of our order. A manager brought my food to me, separately from the rest of the table. It was a great experience again!

Been to the Davio’s in Philadelphia several times and had great experiences so had to try their first West Coast location in Irvine.

Had a three course meal that was delicious! Server was so attentive, checked with chef to answer any questions he was unsure about. Brought me fresh baked GF bread (black napkin in bread basket indicating GF while other bread baskets have white napkins) as soon as I asked for the GF menu.

Had a mixed green salad, appetizer course of their hand-made GF potato gnocchi and shrimp for main.

Manager or chef brought our all my dishes always with a black napkin and verified without me asking that was my GF dish. Wonderful experience and felt great after!

I always had great experiences here before being diagnosed with celiacs, so I was really happy to see how good they were for me now. The waiter was very cautious and repeated/confirmed gluten free for everything we ordered. The servers all made sure to indicate what was gluten free as they put them down, and the manager also came by to check on everything. The gluten free menu is great, and I had no issues afterwards.
