About

Da Vinci serves an authentic repertoire of Italian cuisine that emphasizes the tradition of handmade pasta and fresh Mediterranean seafood preparations. The kitchen focuses on sourcing high quality fish and shellfish to create robust plates that reflect the classic culinary techniques of the coastal regions. Patrons encounter a dining environment defined by its commitment to heritage recipes and simple yet precise ingredient application. Each dish showcases a deliberate balance of imported olive oils, aromatic herbs, and seasonal produce to ensure structural integrity across the menu.

Many guests praise the warm, inviting atmosphere and the exceptional attention to detail provided by the attentive staff, which often makes diners feel like VIPs. While numerous visitors highlight the high quality of dishes like the lamb, seafood, and homemade pasta, others note that portion sizes can be small relative to the price and that experiences can occasionally vary during busy periods or special events.

La déception était palpable dès l'entrée, avec une portion de crevettes "à la da Vinci", dans une sauce cocktail ordinaire... Les pâtes au homard & safran manquaient de saveur & de générosité, tandis que les pâtes aux fruits de mer, le homard semblaient avoir subi un traitement au micro-ondes le rendant trop cuit. Pour un établissement de renom, l'expérience culinaire était bien en deçà des attentes. Même à un prix réduit, il aurait été difficile d'être impressionné par cette prestation. Le service impeccable est un point positif, mais quand il s'agit de séduire nos papilles, l'expérience culinaire laisse vraiment à désirer. Il est regrettable que même un service exceptionnel ne puisse compenser les lacunes dans la qualité des plats. Bien que les plats principaux aient déçu, il est rassurant de savoir que les desserts ont été un point fort de l'expérience culinaire.

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!

Très mauvaise expérience. On nous a fait comprendre dès le départ qu'il fallait libérer la table dès que possible avec un rappel tout au long de la soirée.

I have been going to Da Vinci for many years but only recently returned for the fist time since the beginning of the pandemic. Still an excellent restaurant & to me the top Italian restaurant in Montreal.
