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!

My wife took me to Da Vinci Restaurant for my birthday. So let me give you the run down of the evening.

We shared 2 starters the Octopus & calamari. Cooking Octopus is an art. Way too easy to turn a perfectly good piece of Octopoda into a rubbery mess, well not at Da Vinci. Our chef Alessandro has mastered this practise & the Calamari were just as good.

The mains were black Cod & New York Strip loin. Our dinner was a quiet affair as we indulged in our meals. Enjoying each bite. Chef Alessandro was on his game tonight.

The service was Exemplary. Attention to detail was at the forefront of this dining experience. Carlo & Raymond were simply amazing, treating us as long lost friends & ensuring that we enjoyed every part of the evening.

My only regret is in fact my mistake. I didn't snap any pictures of our evening & no pictures of the meals.

Thank you Da Vinci we will come back.

We were a group of four ladies who went to Montreal from Sherbrooke for a concert. Since the concert was an Italian opera singer & it was one of my friends birthdays we decided to have Italian! This restaurant was perfect!! The staff were all SO nice! Our waiter was able to answer all of our questions & made recommendations that were delicious!! They were very accommodating for our group & the food was DELICIOUS!!!! I only give it 5 stars because I can't give it 10!

I am editing this to update as we went back to this restaurant last night. It was an incredible dinner again & the service was still outstanding. (We even had the same waiter!). We were a group of 5 this time & it was even more enjoyable. We used the valet parking this time which was very helpful to not have to worry about that. & it was really convenient!! Make a reservation beforehand though. I had the same dessert, they had changed the menu a little bit & the thing that I ordered last time wasn't on it anymore. I asked the waiter & he said oh let me recommend this, & he did & it was delicious. Even my picky husband was super satisfied & left not one bite of food on his plate!! You won't find a better place for service, quality of food, or atmosphere. If you are in Montreal you should definitely make this a place that you eat!!

Ate there on Nov 2, 2024 for my girlfriend's birthday. The ambiance was so boring. Had to tell the waiter put some Italian music on, as I couldn't hear it. Which he did. The decor for a high-end resto, was also boring. I looked at boring whitish wall papered walls all evening. Ordered the burrata which was good as entree. We both ordered the pasta, mine (lamb pasta at $39) was salty & lacked flavours, no wow factor what so ever. Hers was better, veal rague pasta at $39 too. Service was good, but waiter forgot to bring us bread. Cheapest wine was 75$ a bottle, which was decent tasting. I told them it was my girlfriend's birthday (when making reservations & when I got there), I heard crickets while others had happy birthday sung to them. Not even a complimentary desserts for her, after dropping $240. Overpriced & really not worth it. Never again.

Amazing experience at Da Vinci! I made a reservation for a party of 9 for a birthday dinner & we were all pleased with the food & service. Chic ambiance with exquisite dishes. Our waiter Carlo gave us excellent service. Will definitely be back!
