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.

DaVinci Restaurant is by far one of my favorites! The waiters make you feel like a princess-they even bring you food before you've finished ordering. The espresso martini & king crab legs are absolutely the best. Honestly, whatever you feel like eating, they'll make it happen. Lavi makes you feel right at home, & the whole place has such a welcoming yet fancy vibe. It's also a great spot for a romantic date, & they have private rooms available for group dinners. Truly a 5-star experience!

Ristorante DaVinci in Montreal stands as the city's finest Italian restaurant since 1960, & it continues to uphold its legacy in the heart of downtown's Golden Square Mile. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were transported into an atmosphere of sheer elegance. The refined décor & warm lighting immediately set the stage for what was to come-a culinary journey that exceeded all expectations. The creative presentations were nothing short of art. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted, not only in flavor but in visual appeal. The fresh ingredients shone in every bite, blending traditional Italian flavors with modern techniques that left us in awe. From antipasti to dolce, the menu reflected a perfect balance of authenticity & innovation. The service was impeccable & truly made the evening special. The staff treated us as though we were family, attending to every detail with genuine warmth & care. Whether it was their expert recommendations or the personal touches they added throughout the meal, we felt valued & welcomed in a way that is rare. The bar & lounge offered a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for starting or concluding the night with a cocktail or glass of fine wine. It was the perfect complement to the dining experience, adding to the restaurant's overall charm. In every way, Ristorante DaVinci redefines what it means to experience Italian cuisine, & we left not only satisfied but eager to return. A true gem in Montreal, deserving of all its praise.
