We had a lovely dinner at Ristorante Da Vinci. Lavi & the waitstaff were attentive without hovering. The menu was extensive without being overwhelming. We were provided with suggested wine pairings for our meal, which ended up being spot on. The food was delicious . We look forward to hosting a private event here later this month.

Da Vinci delivers on ambiance & service! this is a genuinely elegant restaurant with polished, attentive staff & food that tastes great. A special shoutout to Vince, who was an outstanding host. He kept the restaurant open late so our group could finish up at our own pace, which meant a lot for a big bachelor party group. Our server was fantastic too, great service & kept us laughing all night, which really added to the atmosphere.
Be prepared: portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price point, & the drinks bill will likely be the biggest line item on your tab. Worth a visit for a refined dining experience, but go in with eyes open on the cost.

Had an amazing experience here for my girlfriend's birthday! The food was absolutely incredible. I had the seafood pasta, which was fresh & full of flavour, & my girlfriend loved her butternut squash ravioli. We started with the salmon tartare & beet salad, both delicious & beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive, super attentive & friendly all night. The atmosphere was immaculate, perfect for a special occasion. Vince even came to sit with us, which made it feel really personal. They also treated us to their famous tiramisu & a limoncello digestif such a great touch. Highly recommend!

Came here for dinner last night with a colleague on a business trip. We Were seated right away.

Bread, oil, petite toast bruschetta & olives were served while we looked at the menu.

Many classic selections to choose from. I had to have the pasta Bolognese, Which was very tasty. My colleague had the mushroom risotto which was also very delicious. Many protein options including A5, shanks, tomahawks, etc.

Great ambience. Was not loud & were able to hold a conversation all night. The host & their team were very attentive & courteous. Ended the night with lemon cello on the house which was a very nice touch by the host. Thank you for taking care of us!

Will definitely come back when I return.

Da Vinci Ristorante is, without question, one of the finest Italian restaurants in the city, delivering an unforgettable dining experience that blends authentic cuisine with impeccable service. From the moment we stepped into the elegant yet warm ambiance, we were transported to the heart of a traditional Italy cuisine.

The highlight of my evening was the rack of lamb (picturef), cooked to absolute perfection, tender, juicy, & bursting with flavor, with a rosemary infused crust that elevated every bite. My meal began with the salmon tartare starter, a delightful symphony of fresh, velvety salmon, accented with zesty citrus & delicate spices, a true testament to Da Vinci's commitment to quality ingredients.

The service was nothing short of exceptional. The staff was attentive, warm, & genuinely invested in making our evening special. The atmosphere, with its sophisticated yet cozy vibe, made it the ideal setting for a memorable night out with my wife, brother-in-law & sister-in-law.

Da Vinci Ristorante is a gem that exceeds expectations, offering world-class Italian fare & hospitality that leaves you eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a culinary experience that's as heartfelt as it is exquisite.

Artful presentation & melodious flavor combinations. Well appointed table settings with attentive staff. A wonderful dining experience. The burrata was creamy & the Alaskan raviolis were scrumptious.
