"Our first time at this locally owned restaurant on Augusta. The service was fantastic and we were impressed with the food as well, especially the pasta dishes."

"Took a group out to Davani's and was not disappointed. Food is great, service is outstanding. One of the best restraunts that Greenville has to offer."

"This was our second time here and after the first trip we were totally impressed, but this time was not at the same level. We had reservations and were seated approximately 15 minutes past that time, service was fairly slow and they charged $6.00 to split an entree. We ordered several drinks multiple apps and split the entree not to save money, but because we had so much food and when we were there the first time and split an entree they did not charge. We are not sure if we will return or not, there are too many great restaurants in Greenville that are extremely consistent."

"Our three meals were all excellent. This is my favoriate place for Veal Picatta (and the risotto is to die for!). Always a treat to come to Greenville and enjoy this great restaurant. For us, it is a 50 mile drive one-way, but well worth it."

"This is not worth the trip or the gas to drive to get there. Food was not good at all. The service was great. Other than that please save yourself from this place."

"The owner keeps watch over every aspect of this gem. He talks with the clientele to make sure they are loving their meal. What's not to love? Every dish is cooked to perfection. This is by far the best upscale Italian restaurant in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. This is not your spaghetti and meatball Italian, this is fine dining. The Osso Bucco is awesome!"

"The service and ambience were excellent. The food was okay. I would give it a second chance, but I would not get the escargot or the same pasta dish."

"Food was not as stellar as I would expect for the price point. Good, but not great. I expect a lot for a $30+ per plate meal. Waitress was great. Ambiance delightful."

"We headed to Davanis after reading rave reviews and wanting to take my parents out for a fancy meal in Greenville. While the food was delicious, we will not be back. Our service was SLOW. It took over 5 minutes for someone to take a drink order. It was a good 20 minutes between our second course and entrees. While we were patient, and our server did apologize, my expectations were high for a fine dining restaurant charging what they charge. To be clear, our bill was over $250 for a table of 4--the money was not the issue. The final straw was being charged a fee for splitting our salads. Seriously? If you want to be a high end, fine dining restaurant with prices that reflect that, don't nickle and dime your customers."

"This restaurant is truly a gem. Although our dining experience lasted 2 hours due to a little slow transition between courses...it provided for a romantic night out. Our waitress was thoughtful and attentive to our needs. She even brought a complimentary glass of wine to accompany my husband's entrée and packaged a signature dessert for us to take home to enjoy later on the house. The food was OUTSTANDING...the salmon and osso bucco were scrumptious."

"I thought overall it was a wonderful experience, very romantic, loved the ambiance, and the food while sparce was very good. I had some new tastes in dinning, my compliments to the chef! However good I thought it was, I feel it was just to expensive for my tastes."

"Loved the food overall and our waitress was one of the best. However I didn't care for the bread or olive oil/balsamic vinegar concoction. The bread tasted stale and the crust was just crumbly. The olive oil dip was very sweet as if it had sugar in it."

"What a great restaurant on Augusta Road! The food and service were both outstanding. Although the restaurant was very full on Friday night, we never once felt rushed. We highly recommend..."

"AWESOME service! Our waiter was top-notch. I'm a picky eater and he didn't even bat an eye when I asked for special instructions for my meal. Hostess even called me after we had left asking if one of our guests had lost a bracelet - which she had. Was so nice of her to be proactive and get a hold of us.
Food was great.
Did feel a little rushed towards end of meal/dessert time."

"Davani's has sensational customer service, the owner is a very stand up guy and down to earth. Their food was absolutely delicious! The setting is fabulous great for many different occasions. It's just an all around great restaurant. It is most definitely in my top three restaurants in Greenville."

"Great dinner, service and ambiance. But the Caesar Salad was the smallest salad I have ever seen in my life. It was smaller than any 1/2 salad I have seen. For $7, getting such a tiny salad was really off-putting. Even the waiter said he questioned it when he first started working there."

"Davin's was nice, the food was average Italian, nothing exceptional. But was really wonderful about the entire experience was the superb service . . . just outstanding. Beautiful, romantic, tasteful interior. Nice touch to give us complimentary heart-shaped ravioli appetizers for Valentine's Day."

"It is always impressive to fine such a gem in a small community shopping center anchored by a Panera Bread!. We were warmly welcomed and the service was excellent. Nice wine selections and an well rounded Italian menu. The calamari was tender and lightly breaded with two sauces - both excellent. The fettuccine with salmon was excellent and far too much to eat!!! We finished with a delightful dish of pistachio gelato! The setting was romantic indeed."

"This was our second trip to Davani's and just as the first, we were not disappointed in the food. Best marinara we've ever tasted. They have a lively bar clientele that gets noisier as the night goes on, making a quiet, romantic evening challenging. Our waiter was in need of additional training and frequently had to be sought out. The good news is that the food is so good, these minor faults are easily overlooked. Looking forward to our next visit."

"This was a Valentines date a few days late--ambiance was great, very romantic I thought. The food was very good--my significant other and I both enjoyed what we ordered. Our waiter and the service he provided was outstanding--could not have asked for better. Arrived a few minutes early from reservation time and we were seated immediately. Overall, a great dining experience!"

"Very pleased to find a wonderful Italian restaurant in the neighborhood within walking distance (when it gets a bit warmer!) Rocky Davani himself greeted us at the door and took us to our table. Beyond being quite charming, it's a pleasure to see the owner actively involved in the success of his establishment. We look forward to returning regularly."

"Probably will give this restaurant at least one more try. Rarely should one visit be the basis for one's overall opinion. Although quality ingredients were used in the preparation, food lacked appropriate flavor and seasoning (ie. the sauce on my Seafood Fra Diavalo was probably the mildest and least seasoned as any I have ever eaten). Canneloni ordered by 2 in our party was tasty but,unfortunately, was served with charred edges."
