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.

We just spent the weekend in Montreal. Four different restaurants. This is head & shoulders the best restaurant we experienced. It is by any measure exceptional, in every way. The lamb was exquisite. The shrimp cocktail delicious & the cod was truly remarkable. Great service all around in a warm & welcoming setting. Exceptional. We will be back.

This restaurant has become one of my favorites, the food quality & service is top notch.
We were a large group & everyone was extremely satisfied.
Appetizers were all good, the veal Carpaccio was tender & tasty, the caprice with mozzarella Di Bufala was the freshest I’ve ever tasted.
Main courses also received rave reviews from everyone. The veal ossobuco with risotto was amazing, roasted veal, grilled lamb chops, seafood linguini, shrimp & crab dish all received top honors from our friends.
The service was beyond reproach, our waiter “Carlo” was always available & made some amazing recommendations on both food & wine. Rarely do you see service this good, he must have years of experience & it really shows in the confident matter exhibited.
Decor could use an update, but still very nice & classically decorated, has not changed in many years.
Price wise, it is expensive, with wine tip & tax, approx $250 per couple, but well worth it for this level of food quality & service.
I would highly recommend it.
