![Gnocchi Carbonara, Davio's](http://sweetsavant.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/gnocci-carbonara.jpg?w=595)
Phipps Plaza in Buckhead, GA is a super fancy mall with lots of high end shopping. It’s also home to Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse a fantastic restaurant with some of the best service in town. I was fortunate enough to get an invitation to dinner at Davio’s Atlanta, hosted by owner Steve DiFillippo. Thanks to the Atlanta Food Bloggers’ Society for putting this all together.
Here’s a look at what we had for dinner. BTW I will dream about the pillow soft gnocchi for many MANY nights to come.

Davio’s owner Steve DiFillippo (who started his restaurant empire in Boston, in 1984, when he was 24) was kind enough to sign copies of his book “It’s All About The Guest”.
