Sevrvice très bon digne d'un restaurant haut de gamme, malheureusement la nourriture est arrivé froide & clairement pas à la hauteur d'un restaurant de ce prestige & surtout de ce prix. Mon filet mignon n'était pas à la cuisson demandé en plus d'être froid & fade en terme de goût. Au final je ne recommande pas ce restaurant, il y à clairement mieux dans Montréal & surtout beaucoup moins dispendieux!

We had an early dinner.before a show. Our server, Carlo, was fantastic. We had a few pieces of lamb & the salmon crudo to start. The salmon was great. The lamb was probably the tastiest, tender lamb I've ever had. We ended up deciding to share the tomahawk. It came out perfectly rare & served with a selection of potatoes & peppercorn sauce. The steak melted in my mouth. The peppercorn sauce was fantastic.

We finished off with a trio of cannolis. A first for me, but definitely not the last.

Everything recommended by Carlo was delicious. Our drinks never ran dry.

Thank you for an excellent dinner.

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.

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!!

This restaurant was everything a restaurant should be. The staff & owner (Lav) friendly, welcoming (with everyone who walked in) the restaurant has been around for a long time & Lav is ready to share stories upon your asking (which I did). The food was well presented & tasted every bit as good as it looked. We appreciated the look & the taste so much - totally forgot pics. What put this restaurant over the top was when I couldn't decide between 2 desserts so they gave me both & one being compliments of the house. The vibe in the place says family & anyone who walks in is a part of it. I can't recommend enough & is now on my must visit when in Montreal.

My husband & I dined here for our anniversary as family gifted us with gift cards. It is a quaint little restaurant in the heart of downtown. The food was very tasty, the presentation was very pretty, the portions were good, the service was fast & efficient (although the attention we received was overkill - the waiter, although very kind, checked in on us literally every 5 minutes) We were disappointed with the risotto as we expected a thicker consistency, but it was too'soupy' in our humble opinion. The resto serves the cutest complimentary appetizer (first picture- we were 2 so there were 2 of each item). I do recommend if you don't mind spending $$ as the food is excellent, however, the prices are over what I am willing to spend for dining out & so would not return (A bottle of Perrier is $12, my 3 shrimp appetizer is $48, etc)

Da Vinci offers an outstanding dining experience with an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The service is amazing-warm, attentive, & truly makes you feel valued as a guest. I had the lobster risotto, & it was absolutely delicious, with rich, savoury flavours that were perfectly balanced. Highly recommend Da Vinci for anyone seeking a cozy, inviting place with top-notch food & service!

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.

Was able to snag a booking for New Year's Eve at this restaurant. Located in a beautiful part of Montreal. Service was perfect & so was the meal. I had the rack of lamb & my friend had the salmon. Both plates were pretty much licked clean. Also recommend the tiramisu for dessert.

Phenomenal experience. Fruité de mer is sensational & the service was excellent: friendly, prompt & provided helpful recommendations. Can also recommend the tuna tartare & the king crab pasta. The crab pasta sauce is delicious it need something on the side to soak it up. I cannot wait to come back for another romantic evening.

Amazing food, beautiful restaurant interior & honestly some of the most amazing & friendly service by our waiter, friend & comedian for the night Lavi. If not only for the great food, we would come back just for the warm & welcoming service we were given.
Definitely would recommend 👌
