Service is excellent and the garden inside is lovely! i had the risotto and my husband the pizza calabrese - both dishes super tasty - if we would not live in Europe, we would come again! Enjoy it 😃

Lazar Stojković

Normally, I'd never eat polenta - the texture makes me gag. However, mascarpone polenta with pork shoulder ragu here was something I simply could not get enough of. Focaccia di Reco was great, too.

Helen Bosco

Excellent food here! Loved my risotto and the burrata was good too. Service is horrible, though. Our waitress was never there and spent her night drinking at another table instead.

Cindy Kovacs

Loved the idea of italian tapas . Ordered focaccia di recco with honey . Wonderful. Tomato watermelon salad then a salami/cheese plate. Along with wine it was a filling yet light feeling dinner .

Dominic Rios

Such a wide assortment of delicious Italian cuisine ! The bruschetta is a nightly special so expect some variety!

Jenny Bomb

Had the best kale salad of my life here! It was served warm and had so many delicious flavors; orange segments, garlic , nuts . Pizza was also tasty.

Evan Mignogna

Great menu, nice decor, stands out in Little Italy. Got the burger - nice bread , bacon jam , roasted tomato , good flame char. Thin patty though, probably why mid-rare came out well - done first attempt

Focaccia di Recco with honeycomb spread is delicious & a fav! They offer blankets upon request for the cold weather in the outdoor patio .

Jon Travelguy1

The cheese filled flat bread with a honeycomb to spread on top is a unique and delectable offering.

jenn

Jennifer Juckett

Brunch - if you have a group start w the assorted pastry board. Nutella , chocolate , berry , cream cheese pastries

Mario P

All pastas , we ordered Bolognese and carbonara , very good also prosciutto pizza

Mercy Baron

Foccacia Di Recho is the most amazing app. Ask for it with prosciutto !

Daria Butler

Loooove this restaurant ! Make a reservation and request to sit in the back patio and order the foccacio with honeycomb !!

Serious Eats

Burgers at Davanti Enoteca have a lot going on, including bacon jam , aioli , and griddled cheese curds .

Kathleen Arens

Joshua recommended the Focaccia di Recco , which was out if this world... this country at least. You can pass on the Orecchiette con Salciccia e Rapini.

Vadim Vegas

Beefstecca...mmmmmmm chicken liver pate , roasted beats with walnut butter, beef carpaccio and a shot of chocolate cake ....what a dinner :-)

Linda Gardels

Italian specialties fabulous, try the focaccia filled with ricotta and topped with with honey .

Alice Kamenetsky

Follow everyone's advice and get the polenta Ragu and the Focaccia de recco- they're out of this world

jenlawsondesign

Try the ragu , they serve it to you from the pan onto a bed of polenta smeared on a wooden platter, it's a fun dish to impress your out of town friends!

Kathleen Arens

Focaccia with honeycomb was bomb as always and the Octopus was cooked PERFECTLY, crispy on outside and tender on inside.

Iris Ng

The Riccio de Mare is sooo fresh and tasty! And their bread is awesome; I can just eat that for dinner !

Bob Vega

Everything here was delicious. Bring a group and sample several items family style .

lyza king

April Abarrondo

Happy Hour dishes are the regular portions. Come from 3-6pm daily!

Josh Nolan

Found the menu to be underwhelming at the time I went. My overall experience didn’t leave me wanting to come back. Can’t recommend but wouldn’t spot you from trying.

Shana Kneib

The risotto carbonara was delicious! The ambiance outside was awesome. Highly recommend!

Jessica Tse

Soft cheese + Honeycomb = Mind blown! Do not miss out on this flavor journey, and that's just the appetizer !

Kristie Leung

Focaccia de Rocco is to die for. Great for big parties, or just for yourself.

Joana

Pizette del giorno was delicious. With fontina , pancetta and spinach .

Viranuj Sueblinvong

Food taste good. It's more like a tapas than typical Italian dinner place . We were quite surprise to see only one ravioli in a plate.

Ailo Lambarri

The focaccia bread with cow cheese and fresh honeycomb is an amazing appetizer .

Adrienne Levin

Pappardelle Maiale and stromboli !!!

Devon

Service is a little spotty (I had two waitresses try to take my order and then was brought the wrong entree). Food was great though - have a glass of lambrusco to wash down some cacio e pepe .

Ksenia

We decided to visit this restaurant based on the reviews on here but were left disappointed.Food - portion size too small and over priced. Italian was only names but not the dishes.The service was bad
