I went to Da Vinci with my boyfriend, and 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 and walked away showing clear dissatisfaction — very unprofessional. On top of that, he kept laughing loudly and chatting with the table next to us, creating a noisy and inappropriate atmosphere that disturbed our dinner. Overall, poor service, unpleasant ambiance, and a strong impression that money is the only priority.

One of the best restaurants in Montreal! The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Vince in particular provided outstanding service that made the experience even better. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
Had an amazing experience here for my girlfriend’s birthday! The food was absolutely incredible. I had the seafood pasta, which was fresh and full of flavour, and my girlfriend loved her butternut squash ravioli. We started with the salmon tartare and beet salad, both delicious and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive, super attentive and friendly all night. The atmosphere was immaculate, perfect for a special occasion. Vince even came to sit with us, which made it feel really personal. They also treated us to their famous tiramisu and a limoncello digestif such a great touch. Highly recommend!
Vegetarian options were awful. Service was fast and atmosphere was nice
This is one of the twins that went to the restaurant!coming from NYC, This restaurant has great food and great service! I recommend anyone to go!
The food was amazing. Coming from the United States I didn't know what to expect. The atmosphere and customer service were great. We got treated like VIPs . The chef is from Rome. Go eat here you won't regret it.
Your Valentine’s menu was honestly very disappointing. It was never mentioned anywhere on your website that the evening would be a fixed menu, which was frustrating in itself. We were seated for about 45 minutes for what was supposed to be a three-course meal, which made the entire experience feel rushed and poorly thought out. The portion sizes were shockingly small for the price paid. I genuinely couldn’t help but laugh when I saw one Brussels sprout and one carrot on my plate. This was meant to be a special evening, and I was genuinely embarrassed for choosing your restaurant for Valentine’s Day. The experience did not reflect the level of quality or care one would expect.
Booked this restaurant for Valentine's day in advance, nothing advertised on their website about a set menu. After waiting ten minutes without anyone acknowledging us to be seated, we were given a set menu with very limited options for an expensive price. Only one appetizer per couple included. Despite asking for alternatives for dietary restrictions we were told no and that it was valentines day so what did we expect. The whole meal felt rushed, unable to get the waiters attention waiting for bread after asking repeatedly, and felt like their only goal was to seat as many tables as possible. Food was mediocre. Very disappointed.
Was looking forward to trying this place and having a nice Valentine's day dinner but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We were given a set menu (which was not advertised anywhere on their website; when we asked about this, they told us it was on their instagram, which we obviously don't follow) and told there were no other options even though my parter was allergic to half of it, while other patrons were served à la carte. Almost no vegetarian option and when asked to be accommodated for our food restrictions, we were served a watery risotto. Service was rushed and we felt like it was not up to the standards of a nice restaurant like Da Vinci is supposed to be. They overbooked the evening and pushed the tables together; music was loud and the place felt crowded. I tend to be a very easy customer but this was disappointing enough to feel compelled to write a review.
Menu was fixed for valentine’s day, 95$ per person and the portions were very small, sharing one portion of a green salad with 2 small pieces of burrata each and 3 mostly bite size desserts. 5 regular sized lobster ravioli. Service was subpar, we were not given a drink menu not were we asked if we wanted drinks, it was very unpleasant and rushed although there were few tables. Would not come back.
Way overpriced for what you get Set menu for Valentine’s Day without notice, yet exceptions made for other patrons Rushed service to accommodate more seatings Advertised valet parking not available
That was a great place we went with some.friends and the owner offert us a bottle of wine on the house because it was my birthdays
Good food but too tight, to small for a 40 person xmas party
