Standard good Italian, which always rates a 4-star rating in my book. The restaurant is beautiful, service is great, and there is good variety in the menu. While I enjoyed my experience and definitely recommend it for those in the area, since it's an hour away from me, I won't be venturing there often. read more

Consistently delicious. One of our favorites. Service not quite up to speed, as it usually is, but I believe the server was new.

Great food, service and ambiance. We especially enjoyed wedge salads, chicken parm and shrimp & scallops provencal. The scallops were unbelievable. The owner and wife were both present and interacting with guests. Great experience! read more

My wife and I went here the other night. Food was really good. Our waitress on the other hand was combative on 3 occasions. The first involved the lobster bisque that Connie thought should have had bits of lobster. The waitress said "it's not chowder". Well it's not broth either. Forgot second thing. The third thing involved desserts. She began rattling them off and they kind of ran together. I asked for a dessert menu and she replied " I told you what was on it". Really! Well she missed two selections. She's in wrong line of work. read more

Great ambience, fantastic service, lovely food. A wonderful experience. This is what dining is all about.

Davani's Restaurant - Davanis was the BEST. Start to finish. - New American Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

We dined at Davani's in February and it left a lot to be desired. The server acted too busy to serve us and gave more excuses than service. The order was taken down wrong and had to be corrected with the host, again because the server was busy. The entre had to be sent back and cooked thoroughly, and even then, it was just ok, not even good, let alone great. All in all there is far better service and much better Italian food at other restaurants in Greenville. read more

Fantastic place. The apps while came out too quickly, were amazing. Had bacon blue cheese scallops and their escargot app. Both plates were gone between the 3 of us. The French onion soup was the absolute best I've ever had. I had the osso bucco entree and it was flavorful but only slightly over as the veal was hard to remove from the bone. The marrow was amazing. The waiter was fantastic and we gave the owner our opinions and he was very engaging, very refreshing. I'm looking forward to my return. read more

I left pretty ticked off. My daughter and I had dinner at Davani's tonight, a Saturday. We go there several times a year. The food is not bad. The problem was that we were charged $6 for a to go box. My daughter is not a big eater so when ordering she asked if she could either get a half portion of the chicken parmagiana or else have half put in a to go box which is what occurred. I had the tomato and mozzerella salad. The sauce on it was way too overwhelming for the salad. My veal parmagiana was good. Our mixed drinks were OK. My complaint was the charge for putting half a meal in a to go box. The place is not cheap and is the type place that I leave usually thinking we did not go out thinking this was a great meal. read more

Wonderful Valentine evening. Atmosphere was perfect. Davani is always engaging. Food was wonderful.

You must visit. It may be very best pasta and fine dine Greenvilles has to offer. Wine knowledge and staff are best i have experience in south caroline. I will return many times I hope. read more

This restaurant is consistently wonderful. My father and I come here at least once a month and have never been disappointed! I have tried many of their dishes, but nothing beats the ravioli special with mozz and tomatoes. Never had bad service, but if you ask for Jennifer, she'll impress you with knowledge and attention. Such a great place, we'll be back! read more

I am absolutely amazed to find that this wonderful restaurant has not been reviewed on Yelp. Let me say that it is always exciting to go to a restaurant for the first time and be completely overwhelmed by the whole experience. I had noticed this place before but was unable to find it listed and could not remember it's name, so I just got in my car and drove on over. No reservation and the place was full of Saturday night diners - I am a little nervous. I was greeted at the door by Stephanie who turned out to be the wife of Rocky Davani. They turned out to be a perfectly delightful husband and wife team. The restaurant is lovely and after asking them to tuck me away in a corner I started my perusal of the menu. Wow! What a great selection of the traditional, the special, and also a very respectable pasta menu. Do yourself a favor and go to their web site - www.davanisrestaurant.com. My waitress Jessica was lovely, very professional, and quiet charming in her pig-tails. She was fun to talk with and very helpful in my dinner selection. I started off with a bottle of San Peligrino and got right into an appetizer. Escargot! Haven't had any for years and what magic they were! Not the traditional served in their shells but perfectly prepared in butter and herbs and tucked into an amazing little pastry that was so light it might of floated off the plate. This was served with a great little palate cleansing amuse bouche that Rocky tells me changes from night to night. To night's was a wonderful little symphony of perfectly prepared veggies served cold with a zesty spice. Next was a NY Strip cooked to perfection medium rare as requested and served on a bed of great mashed potatoes with a spicy dollop of butter and all surrounded with slices of yellow squash, zacchini, onions, and red peppers. This was all augmented by a basket of delicious warm Italian bread and butter with just a hint of garlic. I say with out qualification that I have never had a better steak any where in Greenville. It brought to mind some of the five star restaurants in my old stomping grounds in NYC. Well, I saved some for breakfast and moved on to the dessert menu. Again consult the web site before you go and try your best to make up your mind. I settled on the Chocolate Marquis. This dessert has won awards for two years running. It is a truly amazing chocolate mousse with cream topping with crunchy little hazel nuts. It is nothing less than a little bit of heaven. All that with a great cup of coffee. This is the kind of place that you begin planning your next visit before you go out the door. I think that I might take that special someone to their special Valentines night. Lastly let me say that watching all the wait staff was a pleasure. Such a professional and friendly bunch. When you go make sure you meet Rocky and Stephanie - they make a great evening truly special. read more

The very best that Greenville, SC has to offer. Food is second to none! Always a pleasure and special experience. So glad we have a local restaurant of this caliber! Highly recommended, don't miss it!!! read more

Ok, so 5 stars really people? This place... Meh. Started off, walk in the door waitress sees me standing at entrance and doesn't even signal that someone will be right up. Owner, manager or someone that looks the role sits me down then walks away WO asking for refreshment or even mentioning a server would be right with me. Anyhow server comes by ask for my refreshment I state I would like a Pellegrino... Then returns to fill my water. She ask would I like a glass of wine I said no just the water, She then realizes her mistake. Now I actually got a laugh at it and don't fault the waitress as she was the best the restaurant had to offer. She brings out some bread, which was dry and crumbly, but the olive oil made up for it a tiny bit. Oh and btw the Pellegrino, served In a plastic bottle. Next I ask for an appetizer since I'm starving, I opt for veal stuffed mushrooms, they were ok, seemed pre made and reheated, tasted ok, akin to a bland meat ball stuffed in a mushroom cap and covered with sauce and a flavorless cream. For the entree I order duck breast sautéed in a Cherry demi. The breast was a good cut but bland bland. What made the dish push of the table bad was the vegetable medley which reminded me immediately of the crappy frozen food section Jolly Green Giant mix bag. Accompanying the awesome vegi mix was Some elementary school lunchroom flavored mash potatoes. Lastly I was convinced to get dessert "supposedly made from scratch lady fingers Tiramisu" it was ok, nothing exciting, cream and sugar with coco dust.... But I ate half of it to fool my mouth that I had a good dinner. :-/ read more

My boyfriend took me here for the first and it was wonderful. The environment was so romatic, but yet causal. We tried for an appitizer the Ravoli with the white truffle sauce.....yummo. He ordered the Chicken Marsala on a bed of pasta......yummo and I ordered the Lasagna.....yummo. Lol. The service was excellant, as well. read more

This is our go to place for special dinners now. We have tried a lot of places and find that for the price, location and service this place can't be beat. We usually come about 6 times a year or so. Never disappointed. The service is always spot on, the food is really good. They don't refer to it as awesome-bucco for nothing. I am an Osso Bucco snob and this place has the real deal. My husband dreams of their penne ala vodka as it's loaded with slightly spicy sausage. We always have some left over to take home and look forward to it as well. The best tiramisu in town and the chocolate (?) pie is right on and light and airy. Rocky or Stephanie, the owners, always stop by and chat and make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Love the dim lit atmosphere and great art on the walls. Very welcoming space and never any small children to worry about spoiling your nice evening. Very clean too. Highly recommend it. My only wish is that they made the pasta as well but that's about all I can say. read more

So amazing, best Bruchetta I've had in a minute and great wine selection!! I will be back

Only one complaint about this place, I could barely move after dinner. The food was amazing. Fried calamari and carpaccio appetizers had delicious dipping sauces. The tile fish was well seasoned and the risotto was the best I have ever had. My boyfriend had the seared duck and the glaze was the perfect sweetness. The tiramisu and mousse that they have received an award is made in-house and you can taste the difference. Service was perfectly paced knowledgeable about the menu and chef's recommendations. We did not order eggplant parma but the chef brought a sample bite. My boyfriend does not like eggplant but the fresh mozzarella and crispy batter turned him into a believer. Having moved from Boston in July, we have been extremely disappointed with restaurants in the area- even those people highly recommended. Davani's is the one and only place I would recommend a delicious and meal that is well worth the extra bucks. Atmosphere was relaxing and the hostess was very helpful and genuine. Will return. read more

We dined at the restaurant during the last ice storm. Although there were only three tables the restaurant was warm and charming. Our experience could not have been better. The food was excellent and the service exceptional. We asked the waiter to modify one of their recipes and they were happy to accommodate. We plan to have dinner here on a regular basis. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. The waiter unstood what "Extra dry" means, and so did the bar tender. All in all another great evening at Davani,s! read more

3 Strikes.. Last time, I asked them to half my meal in the back (its huge) and they did. Check came and they charged $6 to half my meal...If i had gotten my meal and eaten half and asked for a box we would not have been charged, I pointed this out and they said I asked for half of my meal and that is splitting the entree (a $6 charge). That is completely ridiculous. The food is ok but the presentation is terrible. For the price of the entrees, I expect it to not look like it was slopped on a plate and then served. Having sauce splatter on the edges of plates just looks bad. read more

A nice restaurant, with good service. I have known the manager, rocky, for many years, and he always tries to make his restaurant first rate. read more

Great food, great staff, will put Davani's on the list of great places to eat in Greenville. The filets were outstanding, green beans scrumptious and the deserts to die for! read more

Absolutely one of the best tasting meals that we have ever experienced. Not cheap by any means but worth every bit. We WILL be back. We knew that we had found a new favorite. read more

Always great food, great ambience and not too badly priced. Definitely our go-to place for a romantic evening.
