Great restaurant with awesome vibe. The squid is very soft and tender. I like facing the fireplace and watching sunset. They are super crowded on Friday nights.

Highly recommend coming to Davanti Enoteca for brunch. Everything was just amazing. I ordered the steak and eggs while my sister ordered the Ricotta pancakes. We shared a plate of the focaccia with honeycomb. The steak and eggs were cooked to perfection while the house potatoes were well seasoned. The focaccia was so decadent with the honey and honeycomb, it made me feel like a Roman emperor. The ice cold water was especially welcome considering the hot California summer heat creeping in at this time of the year. The server was fantastic and so accommodating, just very friendly and kind.

Bathrooms were also very nice and clean!! 10/10 would recommend just for the atmosphere alone.

We had a lovely brunch at Davani Enoteco. We used to come here often when my son was at UCSD, and were pleased to find that it is still open. And it’s wonderful. Our favorite is the Focaccia with Italian cheese and honey. Delicious and just how we remember it. We all had an egg dish and they were all perfectly cooked. And we also shared a pizza. Hey, we were hungry after a long morning hike. Great service. Plenty of free parking. A wonderful stop not far from the highway.

Love their Happy Hour menu. Food is pretty good and it's a great deal for HH. Have to sit in the bar area but there were plenty of tables, all high tops. We did make a reservations.

We like getting their special of $28 for a nice charcuterie board with a bottle of house wine. Also recommend the ricotta with honey, the liver pate, margherita pizza, and bruschettas off the HH menu.
The food off the regular menu is also very good. We really like the ragu with creamy polenta dish.

It was our first time here at this resto and we had a wonderful experience. They had a well designed interior and it has a rustic village Italian feel to it. We had the famous foccacia bread with cheese and honeycomb and pasta and it was superb. We'll definitely come back and recommend to our friends and family.

This place has a nice vibe and the staff is friendly, but the whole experience was messed up because everything's so expensive and the food isn't great. We were a group of ten and tried different things, but nothing hit the spot. The sea bass was bland and weirdly watery, and the pizzas and pastas were just not up to par in terms of freshness and taste.

They've got a good selection of wine, but seriously, turning a $22 bottle into $70? That's a bit much. And then they hit us with a $30 charge for cake service, a price that felt excessive and would have been appreciated if communicated upfront. These problems overshadow the restaurant’s positives. So, I don't recommend this place.

I am here from out of town and just ended up in the shopping center. The menu looked good so I gave it a try. It is a very cool looking place. I was here for lunch so it wasn't super busy. Everything is great. I asked for the Davanti burger which has bacon jam, roasted tomatoes, cheese curd, arugula, a roasted garlic aioli and a side of parmesan fries. Wow! Everything is perfect. I asked for my burger to be cooked rare, which rarely happens. This one was perfect.
