Today was my first visit to Da Vinci. It was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. The service was top notch, the atmosphere was quaint and cozy, and the food was exceptional. For the celiacs out there, the menu was clearly marked with many options and they even have homemade gluten free bread. I will definitely be returning.
Dietary restrictions: They have a wide variety of GF options clearly marked on the menu.

Walked into da Vinci's sat at the bar, and proceeded to wait for about 5- to almost 10 minutes for the bartender to notice us. When he finally did I had to ask him to clean the dirty bar before he put the menus down. We ordered apps which were good!.. Chicken parm delicious, carbonara was not ! No sauce to speak of to much garlic scallions don't belong in that dish either. A big disappointment. Overall not a great place to eat, seems like this place is run by a bunch of children no order , People on cells phones , servers congregating by the bathrooms, the chef walking around looking lost, the bus bucket on top of the dishwasher so we can see all the dirty dishes while we eat gross.
Do better da Vinci's!

Great service. The food was good tried pasta,sausage and broccoli rabi and my husband had shrimp and pasta in fridiablo sauce it could have been spicier. Our waitress was very attentive to our table.
This was our first time at the restaurant and everything was outstanding. We were 5 people in the group and everyone's food was delicious and was brought to the table at the right temperature. Besides the food, the service was outstanding too.
We've been to this restaurant many times before but it seems to have gone downhill. The noise levels are out of control as mostly young adults (likely college students) are incredibly loud and act like they own the place. This is disrespectful to other guests but is unfortunately, allowed to go on throughout the eve (the last few times we have been there). I feel that the quality of the food has also diminished, and is definitely not the same and doesn't warrant the $26-30 for a main course dish. Overall a below average experience and we won't be going back.
Service started strong but as it got busy the service was extremely slow. Food does come out quickly once ordered. Fried seafood appetizer was not worth it...very overdone. Meatballs were very small and only two per appetizer. Arancini was tasty. Salmon dish was good. Chicken parm was ok; it could come with more pasta. Saltimboca was good. Why have a pizza oven if it isn't in use?
The food and service was great! However, my complaint was with the seating. I requested a regular table and when I arrived I was the only customer inside. I was seated at a high top, which I struggled to get into, and the gap between the chairs and table was minimal, I barely fit my thighs. I had to request to move which was accommodated. The second table was better but still not great. Just FYI for anyone wanting to see high top next to the windows!
Chicken parm is fantastic here!

I had heard great things about the Sudbury location so we decided to try this place. The restaurant was quite, not too many people, considering it was Saturday night. The 2 restaurants on each side (Tempo & Amuleto) were very busy, even at 9:30pm when we left. We chose to sit outside as it was a nice night but the car/motorcycle noise was at time annoying. The waiter and waitstaff were very attentive. We ordered some apps, the calamari was overcooked but it was good. The Italian sausage was average and the burrata with tomato & basil was good. I ordered the chicken parm and it was good, big portion. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin and even thought hey asked him how he wanted it cooked (medium), it was overcooked. Our friend ordered the Seafood Tagliatelle FraDiavolo and it was very average and his wife got the Masala Ravioli and again, it was average. We found the prices to be high for the quality of food. Not sure we'll try again.

We had a terrific time. Food was excellent, staff was topnotch! Celebrating my daughter's birthday and new job.
Parking: We ended up parking in the public lot. We got lucky, as someone was just pulling out.

Restaurant was almost empty on a Saturday night. Service and attentiveness was excellent. Food was good but nothing great. Ceasar salad did not have much taste. The bed of lettuce that the salmon was on was almost pure lemon juice. Gelato for dessert tasted more like icecream and was filled with ice crystals. AC was blasting at the table we were seated. I had requested standard table but they started to seat us at a high top and then we asked to be moved. We were moved to the back of the restaurant and it was freezing. We asked the server who checked and said they couldn't turn off the blower. She offered to move us but we declined since it would have been move #2.
This place is average. I miss Charcoal Guidos so much, Davinci doesn’t even come close. We got an appetizer and drinks. The cucumber cocktail was delicious. The beer tasted like the tap hadn’t been cleaned, it was skunky. The meatballs tasted like they were frozen and heated up. The bread was dry and wheat (not what I expected from an Italian restaurant). We did eat dinner here once and the food didn’t have much flavor. It was subpar.
Even though we had planned to eat dinner there last night , after the quality of the appetizers we decided to eat somewhere else. It is expensive and didn’t seem worth the price. The ambiance was nothing like charcoal guidos used to be. The wood fired oven was closed and there’s a weird wooden wall built next to it. It looks like construction wasn’t finished. While all the other restaurants were hopping, there was barely anyone in there. I’m disappointed and would not return .
