Cheesecake War & Osteria Lunch at Davio’s


Today, Thursday, July 28, is the final day to vote for Davio’s in what I’m calling the Amtrak Series of Cheesecake. Over the past two days, Davio’s has gone head to head with New York City’s ‘Cesca in a Cheesecake Challenge. Each restaurant has given the other its popular dessert to let diners in both cities try for themselves and judge whose is better.


On Tuesday, I got to try both the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote from Davio’s and the Mascarpone Cheesecake with Orange Cream and Orange Brittle from ‘Cesca. Obviously, as a Philly girl, you know who got my vote. You can still decide for yourself, but the voting ends after tonight’s service. So stop in and try the “Cheesecake War Dessert” for $10.

Davio’s is also promoting its Osteria Menu, an ever changing 3-course prix fix menu served Monday – Friday during lunch from 11:30am – 2:30pm for $26 per person. During my lunch, I got to try a Crab and Avocado appetizer, a Panko Crusted Fluke dish with a lobster sauce, and the cheesecake.

Cheesecake Battle New York vs. Philly

In honor of National Cheesecake Day, Philly’s own Davio’s will be throwing down in a cheesecake competition with New York’s ‘Cesca. From Tuesday, July, 26 through Thursday, July 28, both the New York and Philly competitors will be offering tastes of their renowned cheesecake versions.

Davio’s Pastry Chef Thomas Heck will be offering up his Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote to go head to head with Cesca’s Mascarpone cheesecake with orange cream and orange brittle.

Each restaurant has shipped its popular desserts to the other city. Diners at Davio’s in Philadelphia and ‘Cesca in New York will be able to order the “Cheesecake War Dessert” and sample both renditions for $10. Diners will vote for their favorites and the winners will be announced via Facebook and Twitter, on July 30.

For more information or reservations in Philly, call Davio’s at 215-563-4810.
