    The food was amazing! Service was great, the place is a little tight, tables are very close together, but it didn't bother us.

    Darcy was our waitress, friendly, attentive, professional, and overall a real pleasure. The owner swung by and chatted. Even had a chef step out to take a group picture so we could all be in it. Overall, the whole vibe of the place is very comforting and inviting. Food was very good, though a couple dishes were a little on the bland side. Still good, but could’ve used a little sauce or seasoning. But overall, everybody was really pleased with their dinner, and we just loved how welcoming it felt to eat there. Highly recommend.

    Understaffed. The Sudbury location is the better of these two.

    Wonderful evening from start to finish. All four of us enjoyed our wine/apps/salads/entrees and dessert at a fair price. Staff was attentive and in good spirits. Will definitely introduce other friends to this cozy & friendly spot.

    We had reservations for 6:30. It was clear by the number of large parties in this small space that there was no oppty for a table any time soon despite what the hostess said. It was clear most were on appetizer stage. We waited about 20 min ignored by the hostess until the bartender invited us to dine at the bar. It was not the experience we hoped for. Bar service was very good and attentive. Food was good.

    Our small group had an outstanding experience last night. Our appetizers and entrees were all wonderful and the cocktails were well made. Our server was very much on top of everything and provided excellent attention. All in all, another great night at DaVinci's. I thank Chef Peppino and his great staff for a memorable evening.

    We thought it was just okay and won't return. I'm not a fan of going to a restaurant for dinner and watching television. It's a relatively small place and there were several TVs as though it was a sports bar. The staff was pleasant but never brought the lemon I requested for my water. The food was decent but the pasta was cooked less than al dente. Seems like they can't decide between being fine dining experience or a sports bar. It was nice and warm, which I appreciate.
