We had a very pleasant evening & a delicious dinner at Da Vinci Restaurant during our visit to Montreal. We love Italian food & appreciated an authentic menu & nice wine selections. We ordered salads, a fish dish, & risotto. There were many other options that I'm sure are also great. In addition to the food, our service was superlative, beginning with a greeting at the door upon arrival, some fun conversation, & a warm farewell. The restaurant is comfortable, calm, & nicely decorated. We will definitely return when we are in the city next time!
When you enter you feel a warm atmosphere that combines the old & the new. One waiter got upset very loudly at other waiters & it happened a couple of times, it distracted us from the quiet & comfortable setting.
The menu is pretty diverse. We had a great waiter. We ordered the filet mignon & osso bucco. The filet mignon was not properly cooked. The waiter promptly offered complimentary wine glasses; a nice gesture. The drinks were nice. The desserts were a bit disappointing the cheese cake was very fluffy & had no density. The molten chocolate cake was not what you usually expect it was more of a mousse.
We had a lovely dinner at Ristorante Da Vinci. Lavi & the waitstaff were attentive without hovering. The menu was extensive without being overwhelming. We were provided with suggested wine pairings for our meal, which ended up being spot on. The food was delicious . We look forward to hosting a private event here later this month.
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.
Ristorante DaVinci in Montreal stands as the city's finest Italian restaurant since 1960, & it continues to uphold its legacy in the heart of downtown's Golden Square Mile. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were transported into an atmosphere of sheer elegance. The refined décor & warm lighting immediately set the stage for what was to come-a culinary journey that exceeded all expectations. The creative presentations were nothing short of art. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted, not only in flavor but in visual appeal. The fresh ingredients shone in every bite, blending traditional Italian flavors with modern techniques that left us in awe. From antipasti to dolce, the menu reflected a perfect balance of authenticity & innovation. The service was impeccable & truly made the evening special. The staff treated us as though we were family, attending to every detail with genuine warmth & care. Whether it was their expert recommendations or the personal touches they added throughout the meal, we felt valued & welcomed in a way that is rare. The bar & lounge offered a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for starting or concluding the night with a cocktail or glass of fine wine. It was the perfect complement to the dining experience, adding to the restaurant's overall charm. In every way, Ristorante DaVinci redefines what it means to experience Italian cuisine, & we left not only satisfied but eager to return. A true gem in Montreal, deserving of all its praise.
Have had the pleasure of dining at Da Vinci's in an intimate, small group & large group settings. All were fun, felt well taken care of & great suggestions on food & wine were appreciated. The owners Vince & Lavi are not only great people, they make you feel welcomed are very appreciative of the business. Highly recommend when in Montreal!
The prices were pretty high for the quality of the food. The squid wasn't cooked properly, & spending $300 for two appetizers & two main courses without any wine seemed a bit much.
