Davide Italian Cafe

"This place was a Hidden Gem! Highly recommend making a reservation, you may have trouble getting a table without one. It’s Not Fast Food, so relax and enjoy your evening. Will definitely go back when in town."

"I can’t say enough about Davide Italian Cafe. You feel like you have been invited into a traditional home. It’s an out of body experience from the food, to the impeccable personable service, to the ambiance of the Italian and popular music sung by Lauren and Vincenzo. You can’t help but sing along and dance to the wonderful beats. It fills my heart. Gracie Davide, to you and your amazing team."

"Words cannot express how lovely this place is. The owners are the most wonderful people and the quality of food, service and atmosphere reflect how much love they pour into this business. My wife and I came here (coincidentally) on Valentine's Day without a reservation and were immediately welcomed with open arms and accommodated despite not having a reservation for an obviously booming business on what may have been one of their busiest evenings. The owners took amazing care of us and were so kind and compassionate! My wife and I regularly frequent some of the finest Italian restaraunts the DC area has to offer and I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food at Davide's. Every course of the meal, from the Bruschetta to our main dish, was bursting with flavor beyond anything I have experienced! Even the presentation was through the roof. The staff was equally as lovely as the ownership and the Italian gentleman who was obviously the manager/head staff member was absolutely fantastic and a wealth of knowledge with regards to our dietary preferences. I cannot say enough about this establishment. There are truly no words to describe my astonishment with the quality of every facet of their business. We are grateful to have stumbled upon this diamond and we very much look forward to returning, time and time again!"

"We don’t think there is a better restaurant in the entire world. The food is incredible, there isn’t a bottle of wine that isn’t perfect, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the entertainment is always talented, and the owners are there every night greeting all of their customers by name. It’s very much family friendly while still having aspects of being “white table cloth.” Davide and family are wonderful. - The Gordon Family."

"Made 6 PM reservations for two …Arrived 5:55…was told it would be another 7 minutes…. I noticed there wasn’t but a very few 2 person tables ….told owner I didn’t want to share table ….he told me it would be another 15 - 20 minutes. A 2 person table cleared and he seated another couple that arrived after me at 6;15 . Apparently thought that mentioning that his shop was only 1000 sf would be a good excuse Since he knows that, then why does he make reservations he can’t keep. I guess he thinks it’s important enough to keep people waiting to keep his tables full. Life is too short to put up with that crap I wont be returning"
