Review Summary

Da Vinci is described as an elegant, welcoming Italian spot where the atmosphere and attentive service can elevate celebrations, with private rooms and thoughtful touches noted as a plus, but several reviews flag value and consistency as concerns. Valentine’s Day menus were fixed per person and portions were small, featuring a shared burrata salad and bite sized desserts while lobster ravioli appeared as a regular portion. Service ranges from subpar in some visits, with no drink menu and rushed service, to exemplary when staff are on point and attentive throughout the evening. The kitchen turns out flavorful dishes such as pasta Bolognese, mushroom risotto, lamb, tomahawk steak, black cod, and salmon tartare, and desserts and drinks are occasionally praised. However, the price level is criticized by some as too high for what is delivered, while others feel the overall experience justifies it. Overall, Da Vinci emerges as a refined option with strong service and solid Italian cooking, best enjoyed when expectations match the pricing.

A Taste of Italy in the Heart of Montreal Montreal holds a special place in my heart, & my recent visit with my family was made even more memorable by our dining experience at Da Vinci restaurant. After a day of exploring the city's historic landmarks, we were craving a taste of Italy, & Da Vinci did not disappoint. The highlight of our evening was the exquisite Asso Baku dish, reminiscent of my favorite Italian meal enjoyed in Quebec City. The succulent cut of beef, cooked to perfection with bone-in, paired harmoniously with the soft rice & flavorful sauce. It was a culinary delight that transported us back to the streets of Italy. Beyond the exceptional cuisine, the warm hospitality extended by Raneem, a beautiful Arabian girl, & Lavi, the owner, left a lasting impression. Learning about Lavi's journey from Bangladesh to Montreal added an extra layer of pride & connection to our dining experience. Additionally, being able to visit their expansive kitchen & meet Shep, as well as conversing with Lavi's another partner, provided insight into the dedication & passion behind the scenes. The attention to detail, generous portions, & welcoming atmosphere made our visit to Da Vinci truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of Montreal.

Was able to snag a booking for New Year's Eve at this restaurant. Located in a beautiful part of Montreal. Service was perfect & so was the meal. I had the rack of lamb & my friend had the salmon. Both plates were pretty much licked clean. Also recommend the tiramisu for dessert.

Had the most incredible meal & service on our recent visit here! An absolutely beautiful meal, accompanied by 5* service. They really took care of us & made us feel at home. Eating out with a 6yr old is not always that easy, but will definitely come back again soon. Started off the meal with a cocktail & starter platter of various Appetizers. All were fantastic but the lambchops & shrimp were outstanding. Followed by some pastas, gnocchi & branzino cooked to perfection. Don't skip the tiramisu for dessert, some of the best I've ever had. My son opted for the lemon granita & loved it. Can't wait to visit again!

Amazing food, beautiful restaurant interior & honestly some of the most amazing & friendly service by our waiter, friend & comedian for the night Lavi. If not only for the great food, we would come back just for the warm & welcoming service we were given.
Definitely would recommend 👌
