I strongly recommend the Da Vinci for your events, you will definitely not regret it!!!

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.

Tout était parfait. Service courtois. Excellente nourriture. Pâtes al dente, fruits de mer & filet de boeuf tendres. Serveurs très sympathiques. Il faut dire que nous sommes allés tôt (17h30) donc il n'y avait pas foule. Je recommande.

C'était ma 4e fois dans ce restaurant & une première pour ma blonde. C'était un cadeau de st-valentin, six jours plus tôt & ce soir c'est devenu le tout nouveau #1 des restaurants que moi & ma blonde avons fait depuis l'été 2012. Pour ma part, rien n'a changer & toujours aussi de très bonne qualité. Le service est toujours très rapide & toujours courtois. On parle d'un grand restaurant italien & qui fait toujours honneur. Reste que les prix sont toujours élevés, mais la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous. Avec nos entrées, nos plat principaux & nos desserts sans oublier le verre de vin rouge de ma blonde…incluant les taxes & pourboires ça coûté 200$CAD pile. Pas pour un budget restreint ou standard, mais pour une exception, ça vaut la peine.

Une très belle expérience à un prix qui reflète la qualité de la nourriture & du service.

En entré : Pétoncle géant, carpaccio de boeuf, carpaccio de saumon & burrata. En un mot, très bon.

Pour les plats principaux j'ai commandé un rizzoto au fruit de mer ( pas sur la carte mais y'a qu'à demander :) ) nous avions aussi l'ossobuco, les crevettes géantes farci au crabe & les linguini aux fruit de mer. Tout les plats étaient aussi beau que bon mais la vedette, de l'avis de tous, était le rizzoto. Autant le mien que celui qui accompagnait l'ossobuco sont, sans aucun doute, parmis les meilleurs à Montréal. Pour le reste, très bon.La cuisson & le goût du homard étaient absolument parfait.

Comme dessert : Tiramisu & crème brulée, très bon.

Nous n'avons pas fait de découverte, autant pour les présentations que pour les goûts, mais je vous assure que les traditions italiennes sont respectées.

Est-ce que je vais y retourner ? Sûrement pour le rizzoto aux fruit de mer car il est parfait, sinon je ne crois pas.

Je recommande quand même sans hésitation.

Didn't enjoy my experience here even though I have wanted to come here for years.
From the salmon carpaccio which was very good but a very small portion for the price to the bland beef tenderloin to the boring tiramisu.

Would I come back? Yes if only to see if they were having an off night.

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).
