Da Vinci's is one of the oldest Italian restaurants that have been long standing since 1989. A very popular venue for old school Dubians, as it's not just award winning, but also reasonably priced!
It's been a very long time for me, so I decided to pay it a visit for old times' sake.
Their menu has a lot of options, which caters to all dietary requirements. Their pastas comes in two sizes, small & regular, which is amazing, if portion control is what you are looking for in an Italian restaurant.
We ordered the following main courses, in small size:
Tagliatelle verdi al ragu’ d’agnello - Spinach tagliatelle with lamb bolognese (small AED 49)
Spaghetti ai frutti di mare - Spaghetti tossed in seafood, garlic, tomato sauce and fresh basil (small AED 55)
Both dishes were well cooked, the portion size was perfect. We paired our food with house wine which was AED 38 per glass.
The decor is slightly dim, and gives you an Italian feeling the minute you walk in. A meal for two costed us AED 180. A great value for money!
Highly recommended for a quiet evening, or a romantic dinner.
Celebrated a birthday here and it was such a warm experience. The place is very cosy, beautiful music and like wow food. Highly recommended Italian food. It’s been the best for ages and continue to do so.

I’ve got to admit, my mouth was watering as I was putting words to this review. Da vinci’s has to be one of the best italian food around town.
We ordered for the capricciosa pizza- so fresh in taste with the perfect Italian mix of olives, artichokes and mushroom, made on fresh pizza dough and topped with gooey mozzarella cheese. Over to the best part of our meal, a classic spaghetti in cream carbonara sauce with beef bacon. Soo creamy, soo cheesy and that aroma of beef bacon altogether will leave you mesmerized!!
My scoreboard for this Italian love:
🍕Taste: 5/5
🏫Ambience: 5/5
👩🏻Service: 5/5
💰Value for money: 5/5
✔️Overall rating: 5/5

Having lived in Dubai for more than 11 years now, I have passed by Da Vinci’s many times without even giving it a second glance. Ranked No.2 according to Trip Advisor, I took my family there to sample their Pizzas.
This hidden gem was truly an excellent experience. We were greeted with very pleasant staff and received a lot of guidance. The food came piping hot and we loved it!
Good pizza in my opinion is a balance of good pizza crust and sauce. One should not overpower the other. Da Vinci’s managed to maintain the balance extremely well.
The only thing that we didn’t like and is purely on us, is that we order a pizza with sea food toppings and the toppings had a strong sea food smell which was a bit off putting for us. But again that was our choice.
We have been regular at Da Vinci's, the restaurant serving impeccable authentic Italian cuisine. It serves a vast selections of pizzas and pastas at very reasonable prices.
Ambiance: Very Italian
Service: Prompt
Portion Size: Good
Must try!!
Amazing ambience, hospitality & above all the food. Super courteous staff to top all of that - what else can you ask. 3rd time at the restaurant & they expect to wow us each time. Lastly my 4yr old’s had such an amazing time that they came out saying we need to come here again & soon.
If you want yummy Italian food and an exquisite pizza. Da Vinci is the place to go to. Amazing service and excellent food.
We ordered:
- sea food pizza, quite rich with shrimps
- lasagna... amazing and heavenly
- spinach cannelloni... OMG so good
Will definitely come back!
This is the place for me and my wife for a romantic Italian meal. Although we done here regularly I haven’t had a chance to write the review.
This is also a review from our visit in November to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked a table for the both of us and requested if we could get the private room since it was our anniversary. The staff were more than happy to reserve the table for us.
Upon arrival to the restaurant, we were escorted to our private dining room. We were surprised with a room which was decorated with banners, balloons and candles. (See photos- Apologies for dull photos) All this was done in less than 30 mins. I wish I could remember the names of the 2 ladies who made it all possible. They were the best..
For the food we ordered fried cheese, a pizza, a risotto and the panacotta.. we were already happy with the service the food was also excellent.
Love this place for its food, ambience and staff.
Been to this place couple of times over the years. I must say they have maintained their quality over the years. You have to try their Pasta!! I usually have Alfredo pasta with chicken & vegetables. It is amazing!! Ambience is good. Service is also good.
One of our fav for pizzas and pastas...
Have been here so so many times.. they serve amazin pizzas and pasta.. everything perfect..
Ambience. 5/5
Food. 5/5
Service. 4/5
Definitely will keep goin again and again..
Food -4/5
Service -4/5
Ambience-4/5
We had ordered white pasta and swiped clean to an extent that they could get confused if they had ever served pasta on the same plate 🤣
Hope to visit again for the yummy pasta 😊
Love the Italian setting and ambience . The staff are very accommodating especially if your with the children they are extremely welcoming .
We ordered pizza with pepperoni, beef lasagna and the tenderloin- all of it was delicious- if your looking for the old school Italian place then this is your choice for sure !
The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The staff is very helpful and attentive, specially Trang and Cherry, they always recommend excellent food. I really like rissoto and canneloni, which always make me come back to Davinci's. Welldone all team, it is worth to come back!
They have the best seafood soup and I loved the peni cotta it was so creamy and yummy pizza is yummy and the fried calamari was fine their margaritas is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy it’s like you’re drinking skittles 😂 love the place
A must go restaurant. Perfect place to celebrate any occasion. Oh! Especially for valentines day. The ambience’s great.. quality of food, value for money as well as the service were excellent. Superb team they got there. Thanks to Jastene, Cherry & Hashem, the manager, for the very warm hospitality. 💕💕💕 You guys are amazing! Job well done. Looking forward to more dine ins with you. 🤓
Super cute little place, the music is lovely as well as the service. The Pasta as well as Tenderloin were lovely and filling. Must try the seafood soup. Great discount for EK platinum!
Thanks for the wonderful dinner. My corporate b2b clients from petrochemical industry in Europe loved it and helped me to crack a deal. Amazing experience
Absolutely love this place! The food was wonderful and the staff is really friendly. Would totally come again. Great pricing with respect to the quality of food. This shrimp pink pasta was the best pasta I’ve had in UAE. Totally recommend!!
A homely cuisine, armed with truly authentic Italian food, a wood-fired oven serving the freshest of pizzas, along with a humble and helpful staff. I personally love their homemade tagliatelle and white sauce. Ham options available upon request.
Calm and quite place . Staff are friendly. Shendu is very cheerful. Pizzas are nice cocktail and mock-tails are ok. Starters portions are good
Such a lovely restaurant. Be it the ambience, staff or the food, everything was amazing. With a casual setting, tables covered in red and white checkered table cloth, wine display, piano playing in the background and candle light, this place relaxes you and gets you all eager for the good food.
Coming to the food, the stuffed mushroom antipasti was melt in mouth and got us closing our eyes to enjoy it. Next course was seafood spaghetti and gnocchi in cream sauce. The staff was accomodating enough to take my request for a vegetarian gnocchi. And yet again we were amazed by the taste. We orered the world famous italian dessert "tiramisu", it was very very good.
All in all an amazing dinner experience. Definetly will visit again.
I’ve been coming here since I was little with my parents and now I bring my kids here. I am so glad this place is still here. The ambiance is awesome, the food is fabulous and the service is always wonderful. In a place like dubai where everything is new and shiny, it’s nice to have something that has some history. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
Wow
We went in here after our business meetings
Order 2 soups one minestrone and other sea food soup
Frankly the bowl was actually full of flavours and good quantity
The. Order two separate dishes which we we were not able to finish due to good quantity
The lady from Bhutan who was serving us was very polite and courteous
Thumbs up
Fresh cooked meals
Very good qty
One advice don’t take the Italian wines they are very cheap in Europe like 5 euros max types
Take Jacobs creek instead
The restraunt serves delicious Italian food. The ambience, the quality of food and the taste was authentic, perfect to celebrate any occassion. Ms. Trang took care of us and understood the way we want our food, got it modiefied as per our taste. It is a must visit restraunt for authentic Italian food and a beautiful romantic ambience.
Went there on weekend Dinner! You got to believe me until you taste their Authentic Italian Pizza!!
Had their signature pizza’s with Chicken, Shrimp(Best) , Margarita along with Chicken & Prawn Pasta (Extremely Creamy)
Ambiance is decent, Elegant and Quiet.
Love it overall
Pro Tip: Buy1 get 1 while paying through liv card or Entertainer.
Venia Tiramisu....#dubaimall #foodie #greatnight #freemind #relaxed #happiness #cravings #explore #sugaraddiction ....loved this and its a must try...dont miss on this tiramisu guys a great place with great ambience is guaranteed
Da Vinci's has been one of the best places for Italian and still is.
The Risotto is definitely something you have to try. Full of flavour, creamy and perfectly made.
They're more than happy to change their menu if there is anything you don't like or allergic to.
And let's not forget about the staff, very helpful and friendly.
Have been to this place for our wedding anniversary. It’s an authentic Italian restaurant. Loved the ambience , food and the decor . The margarita pizza was very good out of all .
Simply Delicious and the Drinks on the side even make it more exciting 😍
Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. Thank god for such restaurants in UAE 😁 yummy pasta btw 👍🏻
This restaurant has such a warm and cozy ambiance and the mouthwatering selection of dishes wows you from the get go.
I recommend trying the caprese salad and going large on that portion of spinach ricotta cannelloni - you won’t regret it.
Da vincis has been our place for every special celebration. I love their canolleni.. Its creamy and yummy. Their service is amazing and the food never disappoints. Prices are a bit high but the food is totally worth it.
Amazing place.. amazing food..amazing service!!!
Have tried their Pasta, Spaghetti Bolognese,Pizza, Buratta.. everything is outstanding!! We keep going back!!
Amazing pizzas with fresh great wood fire taste....nice selection of wines....staff r very friendly....ambience is a bit boring and dull....very gloomy place....seating and parking is good.
This is one of my favorite italian restaurants for the past 10 years! Firstly, they have good options for vegetarians - pink sauce penne pasta (you can add your own veggies) and the vegetarian pizza is my favorite. The portions are huge! The complimentary bread is really good - hot and yummy! Secondly, the ambience is great for a good romantic dinner for 2! Thirdly, the staff and the manager are very friendly and polite. Lastly, the prices are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend this restaurant for all vegetarians craving some delicious italian dishes!
Nice ambience, lovely food 🥘 , nice soft music 🎶 nice place to dine in. Pizza were just right, the thin crust and the freshness of vegetable was perfect. Arabiata was amazing too but the portion could be better
If the many "WhatsOn” Favorite Restaurant awards on their wall are not enough to convince you of how amazing this place is, then their food definitely will. Da Vinci’s at Millennium Airport hotel is one of the finest and oldest Italian restaurants on this side of town - serving a delicious array of authentic Italian cuisine. Opened in 1989, it’s the 3rd Italian restaurant in Dubai and has flourished in numerous culinary awards, including the “Dubai’s Favorite Italian Restaurant" several times in a row.
The best Italian restaurant at Dubai very nice atmosphere romantic with a light candle decorated very nice I really like it, food is real Italian with the taste and presentation. Staff so friendly and happy all the time with warm smiles
i dinne in for lunch with my friends yesterday,we are from dtcm.the food was amazing and waitress was very good and active.the place was very need and clean,shendu makes our day
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This place is truly lovely. The interiors may looks tacky in the pictures but when you are there, with the music playing in the back, the sweet servers with big smiles on their faces, decor and lighting will make you feel like you are in a cozy restaurant in Italy.
We went here for a friend's birthday. The staff were kind enough to give her a complimentary slice of yummy cake and had decorated the table with balloons without us requesting for it.
They serve a plate of a variety of breads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a complimentary dish, after which we went straight to the mains: A custom pink sauce pasta with shrimps-full portion, the Lasagna Emiliana-half portion, a plate of the Scallopine di pollo alla milanese and the diavola pizza with chicken instead of salami.
The pizza was a disappointment but the rest of the food was full of flavor.
We also ordered cidars and a couple of beers for the table.
With emirates platinum discount we got 40% off the total bill.
It was a lovely night with great service and yummy food!
Da Vinci is my all time favorite.
The food is out of the world, the ambiance is so classy and welcoming. The service has always been great. Everything in the MENU is amazing, its definitely the best place for Italian. The prices are also very reasonable.
The manager Hashem is a pleasure to deal with, he always goes out of his way to ensure all guests are well taken care of. Mubarak who recently served us as well was very nice and patient and helpful too.
Highly recommend.
Amazing and fabulous place for celebration and gatherings good for families and kids. Very high standard with well trained staff with fully knowledge and friendly service from heart. Food is really Italian authentic. Proud to recommend to everyone who looking for classic and quiet restaurant with tasty food
This restaurant has now been around for over 30 years and its still as good as it always was. We had a large antipasti platter followed by pasta and pizza and it was all good. I had the "Mare e Monte" pizza which is hands-down the best seafood pizza I've ever had. When given an option for crust size I usually go with a thin crust but that van be too thin this time I didn't ask so I got the perfect crust. Also the balance of cheese and tomato was perfect - not too much of either which is just how I prefer it. wGoing back there again just for the pizza. The service crew are fantastic and even ask you before starting to prepare the main course which is good to see. Their beer selection is limited but they'll get you the ales from Biggles pub next door which is very handy indeed. Had a great evening!
We had a great time in Da Vinci's last evening. One of the best Italian restaurants. We have been visiting the restaurant since the 90s and the quality of food has remained the same or even better. The service was excellent. Thanks to Mubarak who was attending to us last evening. Keep it up.
Very bad and slow service. They had 29th anniversary menu and the manager informed he would serve the anniversary menu price pasta just replace it with vegetarian. The pasta initially came in was wrong and then took them 3 calls to replace it. Very very slow service. Tiramisu took at least 15mins to arrive.
One of the best Italian restaurant i have tried, from the time i was small i am trying this place and taste and quality is still the same.
Burrata is my absolute favourite 😍
Risotto is so good too!!!
Visited this place on the weekend for a surprise Dinner date . Loved the musical ambience and the italian paintings and sculptures around . The candle lights were a delight . The food was fantastic . The Pasta and Pizza were Fresh and huge portions .Thoroughly enjoyed my visit !
Din at Da Vinci's was long overdue and finally we made it today! Was a really cozy and nostalgic visit bringing back memories..the cozy decor and ambience combined with some soulful piano in the background added to the overall wonderful experience at da vinci's...we has stuffed porcini for starters which i would highly recommend as it was really good. The main course was equally nice...The magnified Pepper Crusher was definitely a Show Topper!:😉 The floor manager was kind enough to offer a complimentary Welcome Back dessert which was quite a suprise! would recommend the place to anyone whose looking out a calm quiet and peaceful evening..
I had lunch with some of my colleague , Pasta was so delicious , properly prepared and a great value for the price. the service was excellent & very pleasing.Thank-you so much
Authentic italian food and very good interiors, the staff were courteous and if youre looking for a great fine dining italian concept this is probably the best place to go, candlelight dinner indeed and
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I've eaten at Da Vinci's a handful of times over the past decade, the most recent being Jan 2018. The restaurant offers authentic Italian food, with a few non-Italian items on the menu with wonderful warm Italian decor with rich wood and traditional table-cloth and color themes, a decent (though not very extensive) wine list, candle lit tables, multi-national staff and an upright piano automatically playing instrumental tunes (English songs). Hence it's a mixed experience, not an immersive Italian experience. The quality of the food is very good, portions (large) suffice as a meal and are more value for money than the Small options. Seafood has always been fresh whenever I've visited, some items fresher than others of course. I've tried the Spagetti ai frutti di mare (seafood spagetti in red sauce), Rosi venere con calamari (blackened rice with squid) and the Gnocchetti con crema di asparagi e salmone affumicato which was definitely the most sinful of the lot as the name suggests. All my meals have been delicious; I would recommend all of the above. Local Italian brew available on tap, complimentary bread and valet parking at the hotel as you would expect. Service is prompt and polite but hard to grab the attention of sometimes, and prices are not exorbitant for the fine dining experience
One of the best Italian food ever eaten is here....I have tried many italian restaurants as my kids and I love to eat Italian food.....but we always end up saying that Davinci is the best...
.excellent staff and excellent food
Lasagna
Alfredo pasta
Spaghetti bolognese
Awesome food and great service and ambiance
Good place for fancy meal
Manager Mr Hashem is doing an outstanding job.
We visited Da Vinci with my wife for Christmas dinner. That day she also has her birthday. I can say that she was absolutely happy ! The interior and the decorations were beautiful, music native italian and the atmosphere of small Rome or Milano restaurant didn't leave us during the dinner.
We ordered tuna carpacho( it was fresh and tasty) , selection of antipasta and 2 pizza for the main. Pizza was like in Napoli,thin and full of filling. Very very tasty dinner.
Service was professional our waitress Cherry was very smart.
Da Vinci thank you for such great experience!!
A flavor of Roma
Very authentic Italian pizza combein with garlic bread and salad along with the classic ambience.very attentive staff and warm welcoming manager visit the table twice. Really I do recommend this lovely restaurant to all my friends and I'm proud of doing. Big thanks to Cherry and Nadia for taking care of me and my friends.
Excellent food and great service.It serves authentic Italian dishes ,which are rich in taste and very well presented.The fancy decor and peppy music makes the meal all the more enjoyable.Looking forward to going there, again.Would strongly recommend it to all my friends in Dubai.
Celebrated my daughters 11th birthday. This was the 2nd time here for her birthday the last time was in 2016 for her 9th one. Mubarak and Shendu took care of us from the time we called to reserve till we left. Such amazing food and service with attention to detail. Truly authentic Italian with a lovely ambience. Lovely evening 👍🎉👌
A cozy Italian joint. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Ordered a pasta and pizza. The pasta was particularly good. The pink sauce was cooked and mixed to just the right consistency.
I would recommend for one who's looking for a good Italian cuisine.
The food was very good served hot and our table has visited by the manager( Mr.Hashem) to check our comments if any. Also he gave us coupons for other restaurants in hotel. Thanks a lot ,worth it 👍🏻

So, it was my parents’ anniversary and we decided to celebrate it at a restaurant where my old man first took her three decades ago.
Honestly, my old man’s got taste. Great place with all the works of DaVinci and an automated piano run by a floppy disk. So let’s get down to the tastings...
First, the rosé wine. Great to have in a cozy place, a little early for an October Dubai season but it wasn’t half bad. The oil bottle was very creative really, separating the oil with balsamic vinegar.
Second, the appetizers. Calamari and shrimps, beautiful. Well fried and not too oily, the tomato sauce...THAT was the top notch! We ordered another sauce because we couldn’t get enough of it. And the mushroom with mozzarella and meat, now those were my favorite. TRY IT!
Next two tempting pizzas, margarita and with slices of ham. The pizzas were delightful, tastes like homemade. The crust were thin and everything else was fresh.
The legendary pasta carbonara. My parents kept talking about it and how they made the best carbonara for years. Honestly, pretty good. I did enjoy it.
Finally, a tiramisu cake for the anniversary. Very light, smooth, and delish.
ONE negative comment though, order the bill and you wait 10 minutes for the arrival and the submitting of the bill, so 20 minutes in total.
Otherwise, worth a try people. Go for it and have a nice Italian lunch and dinner. Ciao!
Food is ok, reasonable price, ordered risotto and fried calamari. Friendly service and Da Vinci's style decoration make you feels relaxing. However, the chairs is not that comfort for you to stay and enjoy.
One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Dubai because:
Great food
Value for money courtesy the entertainer app
Love the vibes
Attentive staff
My favorite cuisine Italian.
This place has an amazing-amazing ambience.
Old school - pretty looking furniture - candles lighted up on each table and some classic music.
It's a good quite place to eat some authentic Italian food.
They serve drinks too so for people who enjoy some wine and cheese; this place is for you.
Ordered the Canneloni and Pesto creamy pasta.
Loved the Pesto creamy pasta - it was perfect.
A really good place for a relaxing (away from the city) weekend dinner. The place is nice and cozy.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
A beautiful eatery that has a soothing atmosphere. It's a fine dine located in the millennium hotel. The best thing is that you don't have to stress over the parking, as valet is available.
This got to be probably one of the oldest restaurant as my mom remembered dining in there before even I was born. (I'm 19 and not even that young lol)
Coming to the food. We tried their cheesy garlic bruschetta, spinach and ricotta cannelloni, margherita pizza, pinnacolda, and tiramisu.
●I cannot tell you how perfect the garlic cheese bruschetta was. It was thin, a bit soft inside and crisp on the out with right amount of cheese and garlic flavour. It's a must try for all.
●The margherita pizza was however good, but sort of average since I've had better.
●The cannelloni portion was very moreish. When it came, it seemed a little small portioned to me. But honestly, the amount of thick creme and cheese put into it makes it really filling.
●Pinna Colada is my absolute favourite. And the one here didn't disappoint me. It was great too
●Tiramisu was super soft and moist and wasn't too sweet. It was average and not bad
Ohh, and they also gave an assorted bread basket in the start which was so fresh, I was in love.
The staff was really kind here and warmly greeted us. There's a table here in the corner which is dark and is lit up with only a candle (if you wanna go for a romantic dinner incase.) They also do have cabins where you can privately dine at.
Overall, a great place and I would love to go there frequently.
It was quite empty on a Saturday afternoon ... the staff were attentive and always near by when we needed them . Ordered for the veg cannelloni which was creamy n cheesy ... thumbs up for same .. my friend had a risotto and they were quite willing to make a few changes like add chicken instead of beef ... will surely try to visit again .
A good Italian restaurant with nice ambiance and background music, feel like you are in Italy a while.
Service is good
Food is good
Overall a nice package for pizza and pasta

This place is my dads favorite place , don't know why since teenage days he used to take us for our family's special occasions ..... I haven't found the place soo wow. , it's one of the oldest Italian restaurant in town . They have private seating kind of area and open area. The service is little slow , as they claim they make fresh food .
Pizzas are good , the desserts are yum too . Pasta are decent . Went for a quick lunch the shrimps were yum .
Very Italian home style restaurant it is
One of the oldest Italian restaurants in town, been here on couple of occasion and the food quality and service is always at its best. Surprisingly when ever Iv'e been here (mostly on weekdays) have seen it quite and empty but again nothing taking away from the food. A good place to visit to enjoy a nice yummy meal.
One of the most consistent Italian restaurants in dubai.
The taste is always Good and portions are substantial large
The pizza and ravioli is one of the best items on the menu
I would suggest them to add newer items on the menu as regular visitors like myself need new varieties now and then
Plus the dessert menu is small. A few more additions are welcome
Overall one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. All fresh always good
Wonderful Italian food in an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Portion sizes are quite good, the food is done very well (simple food executed with knowledge and technique) and the service is simply divine!
Menu -
Lobster and Avocado salad (Grilled lobster)
Gnocchi in a smoked salmon cream sauce with Asparagus (Gnocchi was very light and fluffy)
Sliced grilled tenderloin in a balsamic reduction with home fries (tenderloin was well rested and juicy)
Tiramisu (Perfect!)
A definite date night favorite!
My favourite Italian food place been visiting this place for sometime now good food the service can be improved though the staff is what im referring to ...the feel of the restaurant also is good the pasta and ravioli is quite nice !
Good food. Food quality is perfect . Customer service also good. Lunch meal is decent compare to quality that they served . A good recommendations for lunch

Visited Da Vinci's last weekend for dinner with family on a Thursday night. It had been at least 2 years since our last visit so we were keen to see if the quality of the food was as good as it used to be...
Needless to say, it did not disappoint.
For starters we ordered a cheesy garlic bread and a few drinks. For mains we got a chicken pasta in Alfredo sauce, a penne pasta in pink sauce with olives, a veggie pizza, and a chicken escalope. For dessert we ordered a panna cotta with strawberry coulis
The garlic bread was super fresh,
Crispy and cheesy just the way we like it. The pastas were well cooked and the Alfredo sauce pasta was the front runner!
The chicken escalope was well prepared and delicious too.
We had forgotten how generous the portions were here and had to take the pizza to go. However, we really enjoyed it the next day.
I have had my fair share of Panna Cotta around the world, and while it was not the best one so far, it made it to the top 10 at least, mainly due to the strawberry compote reduction. The Panna cotta itself was wobbly but very dense compared to others I have had.
Tip: heat previous day pizza in a flat pan with a lid on medium for 5 minutes, the pizza is super fresh and the cheese is as melty as it would be if baked fresh.
Da Vinci's also accepts entertainer vouchers so its great value for money!

Da Vinci is one of the pioneers of the authentic Italian fine-dining segment in Dubai, a restaurant that’s been around for almost three decades, consistently serving an exquisite experience.
I have fond memories of all sorts of celebrations here from birthdays to family meets, to friends’ reunions and the list goes on. The place is old but as they say, the older the wine the better it tastes, something similar applies to Da Vinci as the older it gets the more charming it feels.
They serve an extensive menu with excellent Vegetarian variety. Everything on their menu tastes great and don’t miss the Pizzas and especially the Tiramisu. They also offer a fine wine and spirit selection. I have always enjoyed their Funghi Ripieni in starters and the Rigatoni ai Funghi porcini for mains along with a Margherita, which is a must.
Staff and service here have always been very good without any reason to complain. If you don’t mind old school charming and authentic Italian restaurants then this is your place.
Da Vinci's has always been a family favourite, we've celebrated countless birthdays here and it has been one of our go to restaurants for years now.
We went here for dinner on Thursday night and the experience was great, as always!
To begin our meal we ordered the Bruschetta which was one of the specials for the day and of course we got a bread basket. The Bruschetta was delicious, particularly the mushroom and cheese one however the chicken left a lot to be desired. We also ordered the Funghi Ripieni which was essentially cheese stuffed mushrooms, that was definitely the stand out of the starters.
For the main course, we ordered a Penne pasta in a white sauce with chicken, the Baked Salmon, a Margherita Pizza and the Cannelloni. I really enjoyed the Cannelloni in particular, it was a vegetarian dish with ricotta cheese and spinach!
For dessert, we had a tiramisu and ice cream. I personally didn't have the ice cream but the tiramisu was absolutely delicious and just light as air!
It has a nice ambiance with an automatic piano which plays in the background. We were taken to your table and treated with hot napkins and a welcome drink. It was a shot of orange pineapple and strawberry. We ordered for drinks first. Which included
1. Bullfrog (cocktail)
2. Gin and tonic.
3. Stella Mexican style
4. An Italian beer. Forgot the name.
5. Virgin mojito
6. Sunrise (cocktail)
The drinks were good to start to talk and then we ordered the main course. Which was
1. Pizza vegetariana
2. Pizza biancaneve
3. Lasagna Emiliana
4. Penne pasta with pink sauce.
The pizza's we're think to perfection and piping hot and had good toppings. The only thing I didn't like was the egg plant in the vegetariana pizza. Rest was good.
Pizza biancaneve was similar to a margarita pizza but had a pinch of something which made it differ.
The pasta in pink sauce was really saucy and delicious.
Overall it was a good sudden plan to try this place. Good food. Nice soft music. Amazing ambiance.
