Well, after the manager taunted my wife about her gentle request to lower the shade from the strong late day winter sun or move to another table in an otherwise empty restaurant, we considered walking out but stayed. Each of our dishes were mediocre at best at dinner, but now 5 hours later we are both suffering from awful stomach aches. Great job, Dave!

The homemade food was amazing (and amazingly inexpensive for the quality and portion sizes). The staff were very friendly.

Love the cosiness of the place and seem to have lots of return customers. It has a big selection of different combination of pasta and pizza, essentially any pasta can be made with any sauce. The portion was very generous. I tried the ceasar salad and it was good. The dressing is more garlicky than other places, but still good. The pasta was spinach pappardelle bolognese made with ground turkey. I also had side of sautéed spinach and meat ball.

Dined here a few times. Last time was last weekend. Everyone I have dined with at Dave's loves this place as do I also. Love the food here.

Great food, excellent service

This restaurant is really great for carry-out. The space inside can seat you but it is sort of small. The food has always been really great every time I've ordered here. Every dish I have tried has always been well-prepared and delicious. In my opinion, the calzone here especially stands out as a favorite.

What a Gem! I felt so cared for. I stopped in to order food to go. The young lady there made me feel as though I came into her living room and made me feel at home. She gave me a drink and served me bread while I waited. She didn't have to do that at all. Its the little things that make such a difference. By the way my food was delicious. I will be back for sure to dine in.?

The food at Dave's Italian kitchen is always delicious. The spaghetti Carbonara is my go-to, but the Calzones are also very good. I am more of a to go person, but the smaller location they moved to looks okay, plain and minimal but cozy.

We’ve bought from Dave’s twice now. The sauce that they use on their pizzas is SO good!!! There’s a bit of a kick, but it balances well with the crust and toppings. The eggplant extravaganza is also a great entree, my wife and son loved it! The second time we also got lasagna and the pumpkin bisque - both highly recommended!

This restaurant looks very nice from outside but the service and the food are both horrible. I waited one hour to get two pizzas and there were only 4 other people in the restaurant. The pizzas were disgusting(arguably the worst pizza I’ve ever had). They were oily, way too much cheese, the cheese was falling off, the sauce tasted horrible, the pepperoni tasted like plastic and I want to throw up right now. This pizza really made me sick and no matter what, do not go to this restaurant.

I haven't really been to Dave's since they moved here. I was bitter. I had followed them from the first place go the 2nd place. I didn't want to leave. Well, I'd go anywhere for this spinach & ricotta pie with some kind of amazing sauce on it. It is one of those things that you have once and it makes you want to go back and have it again and again -- until you get tired of it, and by then you want to see what Dave will make that will change your life next. Go to Dave's. It's very small and it was crowded. Mine was a take-out order. That's a good idea, too.

We were customers for 50 years, starting at Three Doors Down. We recently learned Dave's has seating at the Noyes Street location. I was in heaven last nigh, enjoying the spinach-ricotta cheese pie (pictured below). The shortbread-like crust and light lemon sauce are incredible. My wife enjoyed the lasagna with meat. Its red sauce is excellent. Thanks, Dave, for adding seating. We WILL be back!
