A native of Brooklyn, New York, Davino always knew he wanted to do something extraordinary. Little did he know, having spent almost ten years living in Washington, D.C. - the entirety of which he spent working in the service industry - he would amass a varied skill set that would position him for the opportunity to guide the opening of The Great American Bistro, affectionately known as The GAB.

Davino’s extensive career experience includes Bar Manager at Busboys and Poets on 14th St., and helping to open The Wydown coffee shop where he served as Barista and Manager. His expertise in creating craft cocktails, coupled with a deep affection for coffee led to opening his own coffee pop-up Duality Espresso & Whiskey Bar. Working for Michelin-starred seafood restaurant The Siren afforded Davino the opportunity to add some fine dining flair to his creativity behind the bar. He has also held managerial roles in staple restaurants in the District including BIN 1301, Big Chief and 12 Stories.

The opportunity to develop and nurture a close bond with the neighborhood The GAB serves is an honor that Davino doesn’t take lightly, but his spirit of service is what has helped him turn a childhood dream into a lifelong commitment. Collaborating with a top chef, meticulously compiling menus that consist of choice ingredients, and bringing together a dynamic staff has equipped The GAB with the key elements needed to to consistently provide a spectacular dining experience to everyone who crosses its threshold.
