The Scene – Davide's nondescript location--on the edge of the North End, across the street from a quiet stretch of waterfront--doesn't prepare diners for its charming, Old World interior. Those looking to carry on an intimate rendezvous should ask to be seated in one of the high-backed banquettes. The restaurant's wine cellar, with its extensive selection of domestic and imported wines and champagnes, has won national acclaim. A reserved, professional waitstaff keeps in line with the environment. – – The Food – Chef/Proprietor Franco Caritano's kitchen dishes up a…

Did not honor gift certificate

by jeffman1099

We had a gift card for $25 off that we had purchased specifically for this restaurant. Upon showing it to the waitress when we were seated, the manager came over and said he would not honor it unless we spent $70 (the gift certificate clearly says minimum purchase of $35).

and to add insult to injury, the manager then proceeded to say things such as 'we've had other customers come and this has not been a problem,' as if it is our fault for not being happy that they were scamming us and committing a crime. They also said 'it's very easy to spend $70 here.' We only intended to order two entrees (~$25), meaning we wouldn't make the $70 mark.

if my understanding of the law is correct, this constitutes fraud. you can understand we left feeling horrible horrible for having spent money for a gift certificate that the restaurant would not honor.

Besides the gift certificate, we had to go searching throughout the restaurant to find someone to seat us.

  • Cons: Scam

We fully enjoyed having dinner with you. Thank you! Your sauces were excellent. Your website, by the way, was instrumental in choosing your restaurant. The pictures and the site itself are true to the meal: 100% top-class. Great job all the way around. We WILL be back.

  • Pros: Great staff, great food
  • Cons: None.
