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!

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.

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.
