Les plats populaires tels que la côte de veau, les divers risottos et les pâtes maison sont hautement appréciés pour leurs saveurs riches et leur préparation experte. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent décrit comme un cadre élégant, idéal pour des occasions spéciales ou des dîners romantiques, il s'adapte également aux événements de groupe grâce à ses options d'espaces privés.

We enjoyed our time & our meal at Da Vinci's thoroughly. The veal chop was excellent & may wife enjoyed an off menu shrimp risotto dish. The chocolate lava cake is a decadent dessert. Friendly atmosphere & good service. Will go back if I am in the area.
I went to Da Vinci with my boyfriend, & honestly, the experience was very disappointing.
The food was okay, but nothing special - definitely not what we expected for this kind of restaurant.
The biggest issue was the service. It really felt like the staff only cared about money. The server kept insisting that we add more dishes or order dessert, even after we clearly said we didn't want anything else, which was quite uncomfortable.
When it came time to pay, my boyfriend left a 14% tip before tax, which was already a significant amount given how high our bill was. Despite that, the server seemed upset & walked away showing clear dissatisfaction - very unprofessional.
On top of that, he kept laughing loudly & chatting with the table next to us, creating a noisy & inappropriate atmosphere that disturbed our dinner.
Overall, poor service, unpleasant ambiance, & a strong impression that money is the only priority.
Menu was fixed for valentine's day, 95$ per person & the portions were very small, sharing one portion of a green salad with 2 small pieces of burrata each & 3 mostly bite size desserts. 5 regular sized lobster ravioli. Service was subpar, we were not given a drink menu nor were we asked if we wanted drinks, it was very unpleasant & rushed although there were few tables. Would not come back.

We were a group of four ladies who went to Montreal from Sherbrooke for a concert. Since the concert was an Italian opera singer & it was one of my friends birthdays we decided to have Italian! This restaurant was perfect!! The staff were all SO nice! Our waiter was able to answer all of our questions & made recommendations that were delicious!! They were very accommodating for our group & the food was DELICIOUS!!!! I only give it 5 stars because I can't give it 10!

I am editing this to update as we went back to this restaurant last night. It was an incredible dinner again & the service was still outstanding. (We even had the same waiter!). We were a group of 5 this time & it was even more enjoyable. We used the valet parking this time which was very helpful to not have to worry about that. & it was really convenient!! Make a reservation beforehand though. I had the same dessert, they had changed the menu a little bit & the thing that I ordered last time wasn't on it anymore. I asked the waiter & he said oh let me recommend this, & he did & it was delicious. Even my picky husband was super satisfied & left not one bite of food on his plate!! You won't find a better place for service, quality of food, or atmosphere. If you are in Montreal you should definitely make this a place that you eat!!
Ate there on Nov 2, 2024 for my girlfriend's birthday. The ambiance was so boring. Had to tell the waiter put some Italian music on, as I couldn't hear it. Which he did. The decor for a high-end resto, was also boring. I looked at boring whitish wall papered walls all evening. Ordered the burrata which was good as entree. We both ordered the pasta, mine (lamb pasta at $39) was salty & lacked flavours, no wow factor what so ever. Hers was better, veal rague pasta at $39 too. Service was good, but waiter forgot to bring us bread. Cheapest wine was 75$ a bottle, which was decent tasting. I told them it was my girlfriend's birthday (when making reservations & when I got there), I heard crickets while others had happy birthday sung to them. Not even a complimentary desserts for her, after dropping $240. Overpriced & really not worth it. Never again.
This restaurant was everything a restaurant should be. The staff & owner (Lav) friendly, welcoming (with everyone who walked in) the restaurant has been around for a long time & Lav is ready to share stories upon your asking (which I did). The food was well presented & tasted every bit as good as it looked. We appreciated the look & the taste so much - totally forgot pics. What put this restaurant over the top was when I couldn't decide between 2 desserts so they gave me both & one being compliments of the house. The vibe in the place says family & anyone who walks in is a part of it. I can't recommend enough & is now on my must visit when in Montreal.
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.
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.
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!
Made reservations for dinner about 6-7hrs ahead of time that day. Husband & I found this resto on Google maps. Wednesday night on September 13 at 815PM was our reservation time. Came in & immediately greeted & seated. After a day filled with eating & meeting amazing servers at various restaurants we decided to forgo appetizers & drinks & just split an entree & dessert since we were so stuffed. My main complaint is that the servers were not friendly at all with us. There were two servers coming to our table & moving around us, one of them would worldlessly set food (some sort of small complimentary appetizer with tomato & olives & bread with vinegar & olive oil) in front of us, barely looking at us while he did it. We didn’t order it, so you would think he’d explain what was in front of us, but he didn’t explain what it was at all. Not sure if he could speak English or not but like I said he barely looked at us & didn’t even smile even though I smiled & tried to make eye contact & even tried speaking a bit of French like we’ve been doing to the delight of other servers during our vacation here. Didn’t ask us if we had questions about the menu at all. & then the other server came maybe 2-3 times during our 1.5hrs there, barely spoke & yet I saw him checking on the other tables next to us repeatedly without their prompting/calling for him. I assume he was supposed to be our main server but again not sure bc the two servers barely gave us a second thought. Our food came, the Osso Bucco & no one ever came to ask if we liked the meal or to check on us (it was delicious thankfully).Part of the money spent at places like this is supposed to include great service as part of the experience, & I could see if they were understaffed but like I said, the tables around us got excellent service, the kind of service I’m used to experiencing no matter where I go. One of our servers was a darker slim gentleman & the other was a white balding older gentleman, didn’t even get their names because they didn’t bother to introduce themselves.
Didn’t even get dessert like I wanted bc the service was so offputting…& I did want dessert bc I asked at the beginning of the night & got told that I had to wait, & even though we sat with a clean plate no one came for 10 min meanwhile the table next to us got offered dessert with no prompting.
