Called to make reservations but get voicemail and unfortunately they don't return calls. It's unfortunate because we had great experiences there in the past.

This place is superb! I am always looking for Italian that is as good if not better than mine. This place is very good. I had the lasagna bolegnese, wow ! The mushroom risotto was a little over cooked, but wow was it packed with flavor. This place can really serve tremendously good dishes. I will be back to visit again.

I've been coming to Davide's for almost 10 years whenever I visit Marco. It's still my favourite restaurant in the city. The food is incredible, the staff are excellent and the atmosphere is unlike any other spot in the city. Could not recommend it more highly.

The food was disgusting and pricey , you’ll be happy if you go to Macdonald , The place is worse than a cheap beer shop in Peru, the owner instead of being aware of how the cooks cook, he talks trash, she doesn't care about the customers, she doesn’t know what is Italian food, she has no idea… How she can fry a piece of 🥩 steak pork chops and then put it full of fat on a pasta that barely cooks it, then charge $50 +++ ++++
please don't waste your time and money, go somewhere else.. 🤮 😡 ☹️

I am a frequent customer of this restaurant. The food is amazing! The customer service is also excellent. The owner greets you, and treat you like family. I feel very comfortable every time I go there. The server already knows what I will order, and that says a lot. Great place!

My wife and I stopped for dinner here for the first time around 5:30pm on a weeknight and were asked if we had a reservation. We said "no" and were whisked into the back of the empty restaurant even though there were open tables out front-not the welcome we expected. The food and service were great but giving a 3 star rating for the poor first impression.

One of the authentic Italian restaurant with delicious food and Davide is a very nice guy to chat and a very personable. We loved the experience while visiting Naples/Bonita Springs and Marco Island, FL. Do yourself a favor and eat here you will not be disappointed. Ken from Credit Card Processing 0%.

Cute little place on Marco Island. Lasagna Bolognese was delicious. Service was great. They only serve wine and beer,, no hard liquor, but the house Chardonnay was very good.

First time visiting Marco Island and the food does not disappoint. This traditional Italian restaurant serves extremely fresh and delicious food. The Quattro Formaggio Gnocchi was amazing as well as the pesce special I had the Maui Maui Livonessi. The owner, Davide, is warm and welcoming. This restaurant is a must when visiting MRK, FL.

Best pizza on Marco island! Just look at their pizza menu. Calzones filled with ricotta and as big as your head! La Italiana is most authentic in my opinion )with prosciutto and arugula toppings)and plenty of American specialties, too like supreme, all meat, etc. Seafood pizza aka Fruit del Mar is the bomb! Italian wait staff makes Davide's super popular w locals for dinner or when u can't stay take out pizza.

We have been coming here for years. We ordered take-out simple pasta dish with chicken on the side. almost $30 later pasta was fine but the chicken was not what we ordered and was put into the pasta and was super rubbery. Extremely disappointed.

We love the food. The pastas are fresh and the pizzas are best on Marco Island in my opinion. We've been ordering our food to bring in as it's a small place with tables outside still quite close together. Tough to be Covid safe in this situation. Order takeout and you will not be disappointed. Our fav is the truffle oil mushroom & spinach pizza.

Holy smokes you guys. If I could give this place more than five stars, I would! 1. Servers wear masks 2. Tables are distanced. 3. Servers are BEYOND attentive. They moved two tables together for us. On top of our every need. They even dished up our pizza for us. Nothing finished was left on our table. Every single server was willing to step up and help our demanding table. Plus they were beyond friendly. 4. AND the food is unbelievable. Pizza crust is not soggy at all. Large portions. The toppings are plentiful. Plus the bread and "tapenade" at the beginning of the meal was unbelievable

A few disappointing meals lately. $8 very small Caesar salad had no Parmesan flakes and little lettuce, spaghetti and meatballs was bland, and they charged us a $4.50 split plate meal without telling us they would charge us extra when we ordered. It's covid time yet half the staff was taking their masks off and even taking masks off when they talked. First loved this place but we will not go back. For better Italian, I recommend Joey Ds across the street. It's a bar but the food is excellent. I will say Davide's pizza has been great in the past, but a lot of good pizza in Marco

I wish I had a picture of our dinners but the bread was so amazing that I forgot my family and I are renting a house from a client of mine this week and this was his #1 Italian recommendation.
I'm not Italian but Italian is by far my favorite food!!!! I've had some of the best Italian food ever and this by far was the BEST!!!! My father and I are food connoisseurs (foodies)
We have 3 days left and will probably go back 2 more for dinner!!!!

This is a great little place for authentic Italian dishes. The lasagna is one of the best I have ever had. The fish special was mahi mahi with a delicious white wine and caper sauce. The portions are generous and the service was very good. Tables are well separated and servers wore masks. Very comfortable environment. Can't wait to come back.

We ate at Davide last night. We had a wonderful meal with an antipasto appetizer, veal parmigiana, veal marsala, and ice cream for dessert. The staff was excellent, the music was fun and and the restaurant was perfectly organized and clean. We had so much fun and will certainly be back soon.
