DaVinci is a fantastic place to have dinner. The food is amazing. The ambiance is wonderful and changes depending where you are sat. DaVinci is a top area restaurant and a must dine. We have known the owner Mo for several years and he is extremely picky and detailed when it comes to choosing the freshness of his ingredients. I cannot give you a detailed menu because like many top resaturants, it changes daily depending on the what is fresh and availble. A few items that are somewhat regular on the menu are the Seafood Pappardelle (seafood cream pasta and a personal favorite) and the American Wagyu Beef Hangar steak (pictured below and amazing!).

Great place! Service is exceptional, food is top notch and atmosphere is old times. For the price you pay though it is expected.

Everything was great. Service was attentive even with a large party. They warned about the gratuity so we didn’t accidentally double tip. One of the best restaurants in town if not the best.

The dishes I tried were remarkably bland, lacking the vibrant flavors that one typically associates with Italian food. In fact, the flavors were so subdued that they reminded me more of something you might expect from a canned product rather than a freshly prepared dish. Additionally, I was taken aback by the portion sizes, which were considerably smaller than what I’ve come to expect for the price point. Considering the excellent Italian dining options available locally, I regret to say that I won’t be returning unless improvements are made. I truly hope this feedback helps you address the issues for future guests.

Davinci Italian Restaurant is a wonderful dining experience! The food was amazing with great flavor and generous portions, and everything came out promptly. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was so nice and relaxing—not too bright, with live piano music adding a special touch. I also loved the open seating that wasn’t overcrowded. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Awesome if your taste runs toward the 1950s Frank Sinatra type Italian restaurants with live piano and lights turned down so low, you need a lamp on your table. The food is made with quality ingredients but each dish seems to have one or two too many ingredients. If you want to switch up a gazpacho by adding watermelon, fine I like that okay. Okay. But then to add feta and basil as well to it? Not really gazpacho anymore, is it? This seemed to be the theme throughout the evening. An attempt to make everything seem sophisticated by overcomplicating it. It didn't really work for any of the dishes I had, although all were quite a bit better, than you will find in almost any other restaurant in the food desert that is Salem. I'm guessing this is the place in Salem most likely to host lobbyists taking state senators out for a fancy lunch.

I went here on a Friday evening and sat at the bar sipping on a cocktail listening to a nice gentlemen playing piano music. The atmosphere is intimate and beautiful. They have done a great job of creating a special place to dine. The hostess and I believe owner were very kind. The bartender was just ok, not super friendly & my cocktail was just ok. Their prices are very expensive for me though. I'm sure worth it for an anniversary date night or special occasion but not when you are on a budget. I don't know if they give complimentary bread to every customer, most Italian restaurants do. I did get a yummy cheesy bread basket but it was almost 1 hour after getting there. I was grateful for it and it was delicious, just odd to get that much later.

Everything was above five stars. The food was absolutely fantastic. The servers were personable, timely, and quite nice! If that wasn’t enough, the man playing the piano was exceptional and made the evening. My god, can he play!

We had an amazing dinner for the last night of our honeymoon, everything was delicious. Our server, Stevie, was the kindest person we could have met and was above and beyond in her attitude.
