Wonderful Food, Wonderful Customer Service
Davio’s is a great place for a special meal, especially if one (like me) is allergic to wheat. They have wonderful gluten-free options while satisfying that steak-house craving. The soups and salads are superb, the special appetizers are excellent (I had the glute-free lobster gnocchi one night, and the lollipop lamb chops another), and the mains never let us down (steak, and cod on risotto). Also the cocktails are wonderful - I especially like that they have Keel Vodka available for martini’s. Keel is a local vodka with a lower alcohol, which is nice if one wants wine with dinner. And, most importantly, the customer service is great.
A cautionary tale for all who enjoy dining out - if you are not happy with a meal or service - let the management know via a simple talk, a call, or an email. We went to dinner on a Sunday and our main took over 2 hours to arrive at our table, which we promptly had packed to take home (we were exhausted and no longer hungry). We paid our check (with a healthy tip, because it was not fault of the waitstaff), and left. I wrote to the management then next day, with a copy of my receipt, and an explaining the situation. I asked for nothing in return other than a response. I like Davio's, and I’m happy they are doing well, but I want to assure that my future meals are excellent even if it’s a busy night. I mistakenly assumed the glitch was that the kitchen could not keep up with individual diners as well as larger groups in scheduled events. I received a prompt response to my email and spoke to the general manager who told me that actually a lot of staff had called in sick with the flu/allergies that day. Even so, she acknowledged the lack of attention we received - with such delays, someone in management should have come to the individual tables to offer an explanation. She invited us back to make things right. We did return a few days later and had a wonderful meal. Obviously she’d spoken to the staff - as all were very attentive. And she comp'd us a few items off our meal, as a thank you for reaching out. The lesson: Never assume and never write a bad review before telling management about your concerns - it’s the kind thing to do, and the right thing to do.
We will be back at Davio’s soon - the rose wine flights are a nice summer treat.
Fridays they make maybe a dozen gluten free items, and all are delicious!!! I don’t need gluten free, I just usually prefer the taste, and the same was true today. I got a regular and a gluten free (the regular do have not options of filled cupcakes 🧁, so there is that), and the gluten free was my fav. No idea why, but I just way prefer the taste (when made well…I do not take that for granted). These are made well!!!
I also LOVED the gluten free chocolate cookies. The texture of soft and gooey inside was perfect (no hard cookies for me, thank you), tons of chips, and the taste was on point!
Also, adorable local!!! Loved the vibe, and that they also have soft serve!🍦
The entire plaza has ramps so it’s easy to roll or walk. There are a dozen or so handicapped parking spots in the lot. This place is very accessible.
They hit most of the marks, you should definitely check them out. The hummus appetizer was unique in a good way (although veggies a bit few in number). Service was great. As a connoisseur of pizza, my issue was the pizza crust, lacking gluten and flavor. In all 4 pizzas brought to the table, each exhibited the same puffy nothingness.
Fun, neighborhood gem. Our server, Jeanette, was terrific about making recommendations and accommodations for us (one gluten free guest and one slightly picky guest). Southwest flatbread and the short rib gnocchi specials were excellent.

told them i have a gluten allergy and asked for no croutons and they gave me croutons. i also paid $10 for a GF brownie sundae and they gave me a tiny brownie in a package with nothing else
This is one of my favorite places to grab a burger, bottomless fries, and a real milk shake! Very good gluten free buns as well if you have an allergy. I stop here often and recommend it.

I visit this restaurant often. It’s a favorite meeting for one of my colleagues and I. Because we always go midday on a weekday it’s typically not busy, not how it gets packed in the evenings.
Most important, the food hear is fresh, and always delicious. Lots of choice too. This establishment is also clean every time we come, which to mean is a sign of an overall properly run food establishment.
In terms of space and parking… plenty. Big lot outside and easy to get around inside. This restaurant is also LGBTQ friendly. (In fact, I believe it’s LGBT wonder). This was one of the reasons I first visited this restaurant over ten years ago.
Lastly, the prices are reasonable under current economic conditions and given the quality of food and service. On that point, our server is usually the same gentlemen and he’s always friendly and attentive.
If you’re even near Foxboro, and if you like or want to try Thai food, this is one of the best in the area.
PS: I have a gluten allergy and I do just fine here.
Very accommodating of my need to be gluten free. Small selection of completely gluten free appetizers and entrees. Service was excellent and the food was pretty good. Honestly, their gluten free pasta was very tasty.
My husband and I love this place! I’m gluten intolerant, and they’re very accommodating. It’s very easy to find food I can eat- and it’s GOOD! You’ve gotta get the Green Monster roll!
This place is legit! Lots of gluten free options too. I had the tikka masala and it was so flavorful and delicious. Staff was friendly and kind. I’ll definitely be back!
As someone with a gluten allergy it can be tough to go out with a group sometimes. Food was amazing they knew exactly what I could and couldn't have and said mine would be cooked in the kitchen not on the hibachi grill with everyone else's. Our waitress was fantastic and even went above and beyond to take group pictures for my friends birthday. Will definitely go back
