Located in a beautiful Victorian dwelling in the heart of Montreal, Ristorante Da Vinci offers its guests elegant and warm surroundings.
From its magnificent mahogany staircase to its high ceilings and natural fireplaces and its private salon to its appetizing antipasto and dessert display, Da Vinci will rejoice both your eyes and your palate.
To compliment your meal, an extensive list of wines from 20 regions of Italy is offered. Before turning to dessert, walnuts are offered to accompany the wine. Then it's time for some classic Italian sweets or a few novelties such as the duo of iced mousse, dark chocolate and amaretto !
Reviews describe Da Vinci as a refined Italian dining spot where the food is often excellent, the service attentive, and the atmosphere welcoming, with many guests feeling valued and pampered during the experience; the menu offers classic Italian options with a range of dishes and several visits highlight standout items such as seafood starters, pasta, risotto, and a tomahawk steak, along with thoughtful touches from staff; the ambience is noted as elegant yet comfortable, making it suitable for celebrations, romantic dinners, or gatherings in the downstairs private room; while the overall impression is positive, some comments point to occasional subpar service on busy nights, tables that feel tight, and prices that can seem high for portions or value, prompting a consideration of balance between quality and cost.
Waiter service, bothered us too often. Used $100.00 gift certificate to pay, the waiter remarked " tip should be based on the higher amount!" Room temp bottle water $12.00. cmon! Feel eating in a hotel lobby!
A Taste of Italy in the Heart of Montreal Montreal holds a special place in my heart, & my recent visit with my family was made even more memorable by our dining experience at Da Vinci restaurant. After a day of exploring the city's historic landmarks, we were craving a taste of Italy, & Da Vinci did not disappoint. The highlight of our evening was the exquisite Asso Baku dish, reminiscent of my favorite Italian meal enjoyed in Quebec City. The succulent cut of beef, cooked to perfection with bone-in, paired harmoniously with the soft rice & flavorful sauce. It was a culinary delight that transported us back to the streets of Italy. Beyond the exceptional cuisine, the warm hospitality extended by Raneem, a beautiful Arabian girl, & Lavi, the owner, left a lasting impression. Learning about Lavi's journey from Bangladesh to Montreal added an extra layer of pride & connection to our dining experience. Additionally, being able to visit their expansive kitchen & meet Shep, as well as conversing with Lavi's another partner, provided insight into the dedication & passion behind the scenes. The attention to detail, generous portions, & welcoming atmosphere made our visit to Da Vinci truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of Montreal.
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 is great if you want a romantic meal with a relaxing environment & great food. The service was excellent & the food was wonderful. Highly recommend.
Was able to snag a booking for New Year's Eve at this restaurant. Located in a beautiful part of Montreal. Service was perfect & so was the meal. I had the rack of lamb & my friend had the salmon. Both plates were pretty much licked clean. Also recommend the tiramisu for dessert.

buon ristorante nel centro di Montreal, ottimi piatti (belli abbondanti) solo che il servizio lascia a desiderare. troppe attese finché venivano serviti i piatti
Had the most incredible meal & service on our recent visit here! An absolutely beautiful meal, accompanied by 5* service. They really took care of us & made us feel at home. Eating out with a 6yr old is not always that easy, but will definitely come back again soon. Started off the meal with a cocktail & starter platter of various Appetizers. All were fantastic but the lambchops & shrimp were outstanding. Followed by some pastas, gnocchi & branzino cooked to perfection. Don't skip the tiramisu for dessert, some of the best I've ever had. My son opted for the lemon granita & loved it. Can't wait to visit again!
Amazing experience at Da Vinci! I made a reservation for a party of 9 for a birthday dinner & we were all pleased with the food & service. Chic ambiance with exquisite dishes. Our waiter Carlo gave us excellent service. Will definitely be back!
