Was excited to come here & it was a sad disappointment. The food was mediocre at best & the service was bordering on offensive & very slow. My crab ravioli was cold & flavorless, the shrimp appetizer was bland & the cheese plate never arrived. The waiter said they were short on cheese & he would give us the port for free & ended up charging us. Worse I saw another table with guess what a cheese plate. He seemed to be hustling us out the door. Never checked on us & frankly I believe as my colleague is gay that he thought we were a couple & maybe was discriminating. Can't come up with another explanation. Cross this off the list.
We just spent the weekend in Montreal. Four different restaurants. This is head & shoulders the best restaurant we experienced. It is by any measure exceptional, in every way. The lamb was exquisite. The shrimp cocktail delicious & the cod was truly remarkable. Great service all around in a warm & welcoming setting. Exceptional. We will be back.
An absolute delight...... Carlo our waiter was charming & full of great suggestions. Our group of four could not have asked for a better experience. The food was just as good as the service ..... outstanding! We will definitely visit our new friends at DaVinci ristorante again. Cheers my friends. Chris Demarco.
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 $250 per couple, but well worth it for this level of food quality & service.
I would highly recommend it.
Tout était parfait. Service courtois. Excellente nourriture. Pâtes al dente, fruits de mer & filet de boeuf tendres. Serveurs très sympathiques. Il faut dire que nous sommes allés tôt (17h30) donc il n'y avait pas foule. Je recommande.
This is one of my favorites in Montreal. Food is certainly lovely! Delicious til the very last bite! My partner & i gave this a try from groupon.ca & what had was a truly wonderful experience. Very good service. Exceptional food. We went here one winter of 2013 & we just fell in love with the place, food, service & everything in it! Definitely recommending this place to friends!
C'était ma 4e fois dans ce restaurant & une première pour ma blonde. C'était un cadeau de st-valentin, six jours plus tôt & ce soir c'est devenu le tout nouveau #1 des restaurants que moi & ma blonde avons fait depuis l'été 2012. Pour ma part, rien n'a changer & toujours aussi de très bonne qualité. Le service est toujours très rapide & toujours courtois. On parle d'un grand restaurant italien & qui fait toujours honneur. Reste que les prix sont toujours élevés, mais la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous. Avec nos entrées, nos plat principaux & nos desserts sans oublier le verre de vin rouge de ma blonde…incluant les taxes & pourboires ça coûté 200$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.
