I have just had the most pleasurable experience at Ristorante Da Vinci this evening. If you are a true foodie & are looking for that perfect blend of five star service coupled with authentic, five star Italian food from a chef that tops his every dish with the next creation in a very invitng & romantic yet comfortable atmosphere...look no further than Ristorante Da Vinci. The restaurant is intimate & inviting & the staff is top shelf. Every member of my table ordered a different dish & all were prepared to perfection. I had the opportunity to meet one of the owners, Vincenzo Amodeo, who politely greeted his guests, took a photo or two with the local hockey stars dining at the table next to us & charmed his every guest with his winning personality. I have to give this restaurant five out of five stars for atmosphere, service, delicious food & pleasant staff.

Classy, ritzy & intimate is how we would describe the setting at Da Vinci. It's the kind of place you would go to with your significant other or your parents on their anniversary.

You know when you walk into a restaurant with several empty tables in the main area, but are told by the staff to sit in a different, isolated, mostly-empty section? Well, that was our experience tonight, & we weren't happy about it one bit!

Tonight we went with the Sinfonia Verde & Mozzarella di Bufala for starters (both hits). Then we went with the Linguine Fini del Pescatore (so-so) & finally the Filetto di Vitello di Latte al Forno (a miss).

Da Vinci is a relic from a bygone era when upscale restaurants actually invested in posh interiors. Based on tonight, unfortunately, we felt that was the only predominantly positive aspect of our dinner. The food tasted good mostly, but lacked a certain creativity in presentation, while the "table" mishap left a bit of a bitter taste in our mouths.
