Came here for dinner last night with a colleague on a business trip. We Were seated right away.
Bread, oil, petite toast bruschetta & olives were served while we looked at the menu.
Many classic selections to choose from. I had to have the pasta Bolognese, Which was very tasty. My colleague had the mushroom risotto which was also very delicious. Many protein options including A5, shanks, tomahawks, etc.
Great ambience. Was not loud & were able to hold a conversation all night. The host & their team were very attentive & courteous. Ended the night with lemon cello on the house which was a very nice touch by the host. Thank you for taking care of us!
Will definitely come back when I return.

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)

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🤩

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!

Soirée d'anniversaire pour un ami, ce fût un succès. Ambiance agréable, personnel sympathique & nourriture de qualité. Amateur de fruits de mer, je vous conseil le risotto. Merci à l'équipe.

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.

Un des meilleurs restaurants italiens que j'ai essayé mais aussi de loin le plus chère. Nous avons commencé avec l'entrée de Carpaccio de Boeuf, couper très fin & la qualité de la viande était parfaite. Nous avons aussi essayé les pétoncles à la salsa de mangue, cuisson parfaite & bel équilibre dans le mélange des saveurs. Comme repas, nous avons pris le risotto langoustine & crevette, exquis, par contre, le plat de crevettes géantes farcies au crabe étaient un peu trop cuit, il était difficile de déceler le gout du crabe & les crevettes avait un petit gout de coquille Saint-Jacques. Ils ont une très belle carte des vins, le décor assez classique & le service est à mon avis un peu trop coincer, mais adéquat pour leur type de clientèle. Finalement, pour ce type de prix, on aurait pu s'attendre à un peu plus dans l'assiette (après une mise en bouche, une entrée, un repas & un dessert, j’aurais pu manger un petit quelque chose encore).
