A fantastic place for a great & intimate meal;\nWe loved our experience tonight! :)\n\nPROS:\nAmazing food\nFantastic/Cozy Atmosphere\nVery intimate--maybe 25 tables total with a few window seats in the front\nNice service\nRelaxed meal--I wouldn't recommend rushing things here. Just let the evening unfold.\nBYOB :)\n\nCONS:\npricey (but, IMO, worth it)\n\nDavio's prints their menus on a regular basis so its subject to change frequently.\nThey have some phenomenal specials! Ranging from $30-75, typically.\n\nWe started our meal with some great breads and they came with three different dipping choices. A Holy Oil that had a really nice spicy finish to it. A Tuscan bean dip (delish, and it also a little spicy kick), and a Gorgonzola/Olive (black and green olives) dip. \nThe breads were a nice crusty Italian bread (super crunchy/chewy on the outside and super soft on the inside--perfect!) and a tasty focaccia with cheeses and herbs baked on top.\n\nNext was a really great salad topped with raisins, candied walnuts and a great balsamic vinaigrette--the sweet raisins/walnuts were so good paired with the dressing! Please believe me! :)\n\nDinner was also amazing--I went for the Pasta with a light butter sauce with lump crab meat, pignoli nuts and spinach. This was a serious event. There was so much crab meat and when they say \"lump\", they *mean* \"LUMP\"! There was an awful lot and the portion of the meal was huge!\n\nMy husband chose the Scallops which he raved about which was a part of their meal deal, so to speak.\nThey offer (for $32) the bread, salad, entree choice from those listed in this selection, coffee and Italian dunking cookies as a dessert.\nQuite a deal, actually. It was also served with a huge side of cauliflower that was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked.\n\n(There are basic dinner entrees, a la carte items, and the $32 deal mentioned above--its your choice so you're not limited at all in terms of choices).\n\nThe cookies must have been hand-crafted by angels...\nThe plate consisted of 4 hand-rolled chocolates, 2 filled cookies and two other cookies. All of the cookies and the truffles were really great.\n(Especially the chocolate!)\n\nWe did take a bottle of wine with us.\n\nFor the two of us, our meal ran approx $75 and was followed by a complimentary liquor finish to your meal or your \"Ammazzacaff\u00e8\" (\"Coffee-Killer\").\nThe Hubs had the Anisette and I had Limoncino.\nI can't even stand the smell of the Anisette, myself, but the Limoncino had a nicely sweet flavor and very strong!\n\nIt was a great evening!\nI highly recommend this place.\n\nDRESS CODE: We were Quasi-Casual--in jeans and nice tops, I wore heals, he wore dress shoes.\nOther folks came in wearing a dresses and dockers, and yet another couple came in wearing jeans and t-shirts.\nTough call on this one, but I think I would go again as we had this time.\nPossibly better dressed, but definitely not dressed to any lesser degree.\n\nTIP: Make a reservation! Better safe than sorry!!!\nTIP: Snag the window seat @ the front corner; it's cozy :)
