Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse Irvine, CA

This is one of the best place to have the networkers luncheon by the greater Irvine Chamber of Commerce. We have our own private room for about 30 people and the food and services from the staff were awesome. Hope to come back again soon

Excellent food. The interior is cozy with candles at each table in the evening. There is valet parking as well as self-parking. They do validate your parking.

The bread and butter they start you with is amazing. The bread was warm and has just the right amount of chewiness and cheesiness.

The dishes were very flavorful and portions plentiful.

The restaurant would make a good place for corporate events or special dinners.

If only I can put more stars, I would. The place itself is not very impressive or imposing, but feels more like comfortable. It's not dressy but not too casual. Food is great, service is greater. And conveniently located in the middle of the city. It is a steak restaurant but you can also partake on seafood servings, like grilled octopus, fresh or fried oysters, crab meat deviled eggs and fresh mahi. And the variety of dessert choices deserves special mention. Both valet and self-parking available, make sure you get validation tickets when you self-park.

The dining experience at Davio's is excellent. All of the food I tried was amazing. Pasta, steak, seafood and dessert. They have it all. The service is great too. Try an appetizer portion for a pasta dish, and then grab a nice filet for your main course. The steak was prepared perfectly. For dessert I had a chocolate lava cake, that was simply magical. The prices are definitely on the upper end $$$$, but the food matches the price. Worth trying.

Veal dish and spinach salad was excellent. Second order was tomato soup and lobster risotto which was great. Oops forgot the hot pop muffin bread. Was delicious. Desserts are to die for. Overall service, ambiance and food was excellent.
Manager came over and talk to us a bit and very knowledgeable. FIVE STARS ALL AROUND
