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.
The vibe? Gorgeous. The service? Super friendly & on point. But let's talk real the prices are way too high for what you get. Food was very, very average… definitely not matching the bill. With so many nicer (& tastier) options in the city, Da Vinci just didn't wow me enough to go back. Cute for the ambiance, but not worth the splurge .
Ristorante Da Vinci offre une expérience culinaire délicieuse dans un cadre absolument magnifique. La nourriture est savoureuse & bien présentée-vraiment une belle découverte pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine italienne. Cela dit, petit détail à noter : la télé ne fonctionne pas. Donc si vous espérez suivre le match des Canadiens pendant votre repas, il vaut mieux prévoir un plan B. Malgré ça, l'ambiance reste charmante & le service est excellent. Parfait pour une soirée entre amis ou un dîner romantique!

We have taken groups of customers to DaVinci Restaurant many times & it is always incredible! From the ambiance to the food & most importantly the DaVinci staff, we can always count on an amazing dinner experience
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.
OK so having Italian roots I don't normally go to Italian places because I'm always disappointed in the food & I always think homemade is better but this place is out of this world! Is it pricey?Quite a bit , yes but the vibe is immaculate. The overall charm of this place is Simply splendid the owner of the place is super nice & Vincenzo has my heart, always gives me the best service ever. The food itself is simply amazing. The lamb chops are juicy, & the grilled octopus is simply to die for, I tried many of their dish , & they are all simply amazing, especially their lobster risotto & the ragu di agnello! Overall 20/ 10🤩
This restaurant offers excellent food & inviting ambiance. The staff is friendly & attentive, contributing to a warm atmosphere. The convenience of professional valet parking adds a touch of ease, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a hassle-free outing.
This is a amazing place with great ambiance which makes me go back again again . I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in a heart beat who is looking to enjoy great food . Not only the quality of the food , the hospitality is above & beyond. I give this restaurant a 5 start rating all the way!!!
