We ordered grey goose cocktails-waitress said, "NO, we're out. We have Absolut." We stuck with water. That should have been our first sign! There was no bread at the table with our salads. The pizza chef was right behind us and we kept hearing him complain about how "that's not on the menu, tell them to pick something else!" When... More

Da Livio was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. The pizza was fantastic and the daily pasta special was wonderful. The waitstaff was great and treated our 18 month old son like a king. Light crowd on a Monday night and definitely worth checking out.

We loved the authenticity of this place. No too much frill, but food simply delicious....with freshest ingredients...very close to true Italy. Not huge portions like American Italian cooking, but this one is truly not one to be missed on St. John. We had gnocchi with pesto and pizza (thin, simple, but full of flavor!)!! All very good ~ a must... More

We had the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and also the artichoke ravioli...yummy. Not the greatest location but awesome food.

Da Livio came highly recommended by friends who travel to St. John often - and have high expectations from their restaurants. We are so happy we listened to their advice! It was one of our favorite meals of our 9 day visit - even for our children, aged 7 & 8. The eggplant appetizer was heaven - so tender, it... More

Wonderful made to order pizza's true Italian style. Try one of those with their fresh baby arugula salad which is sweet not bitter.....fantastico! If you have a bigger appetite their pasta dishes are very good as well. Write your name on the wall before you leave!!!

I just got back from a 3 week stay in St John, & we had dinner at Da Livio at least twice a week. The fresh pasta is fabulous, & the pizzas are fantastic! Livio is an amazing chef, & his wife Nadice will treat you like family! Last week Celebrity Chef Mario Batali was dining with his family!

We had been last year and found the pizzas then to be excellent. We went again this year, and found the pizza bland and flavorless. The mussels starter I had was totally unacceptable. The chef opened a tin of tomatoes and flavored this with hot sauce, pouring this mixture over the mussels. It was beyond bad. The eggplant starter was... More

I was in St John for a week and I went to Da Livio Twice, it was that good! A cozy Italian restaurant, with great wine, fresh pasta and pizza and a true Italian chef! Don't miss this place!

A couple streets from the main square in Cruz bay. About a 5 minute walk in a safe area. Nice place with wine corks on ceiling and walls. The food is fantastic and a lot of reasonably priced red wine from Italy. This is our families second visit and the food was even better this time. A real italian couple... More
