Davio's is a brawny, ambitious place with a menu to match. Owner Steve DiFillippo opened the original Davio's in the mid-1980s on Newbury Street in the heart of Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. After a long, successful run there, Davio's joined the cluster of high-profile, heavy-hitting restaurants in Park Square, closer to the Theater District. Before opening this branch of his Northern Italian steak house, DiFillippo remodeled the existing space, adding touches such as gleaming hardwood floors, columns and cornice moldings. A pizza bar, an in-house bakery and an open kitchen were also added. Davio's menu is sprawling but enticing, especially for meat lovers. For appetizers, try the Kobe beef tartare, cornmeal-crusted fried oysters or seared foie gras. But don't fill up, because there are salads, pastas, entrées and more side dishes than many restaurants have dinners. Pastas such as gnocchi with prosciutto or crabmeat ravioli with fava beans are rich and enticing. Dinners include veal tenderloin Milanese, rack of lamb with pancetta and baby limas, and pan-roasted lobster or fresh halibut for those with simpler tastes. All desserts and breads are made in-house. Kid's menu available. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly. Lounge menu available daily, until midnight Thu–Sat.
