Fabulous evening with friends before Christmas. The decorations are warm and welcoming along with having the talented pianist at the grand piano. I had the most delicious seafood pasta ever. Large prawns and sweet scallops with homemade pasta was scrumptious. My husband had lobster tail on beet risotto. A little skeptical we all had a taste and it was delicious, too. We appreciate Mo’s graciousness and celebrate his almost 35 years in Salem. Our server Stevie, was efficient, friendly and took great care of us. Best restaurant in Salem.
I went here for my first wedding anniversary and our server Linda, easily one of the best servers we’ve ever had, along with the delicious food, made it a truly amazing experience. We tried the beef tartare, ahi crudo, and the squid ink pasta along with some cocktails and croissant bread pudding to top it all off and I will definitely be back with more company to share this incredible spot.

We had an amazing time last night here!!! I got a steak, while my husband got the shrimp & scallop pasta. While I was slightly disappointed they change their menu everyday, and I could not get the pasta I saw on reviews, my steak was absolutely amazing. Only downside I have is I asked for a well done (I am pregnant and unfortunately do not eat raw or rare steak for the time being) my steak was medium rare - rare. Which I ate, because honestly it tasted so amazing, but I didn’t finish the last couple bites from the middle due to it being soooo rare.
My husband wasn’t a huge fan of his pasta, he only got 2 tiger prawns, and said he could’ve made better at home.
Other than those two things it was great!! My husband also got a cocktail, couldn’t remember what it was called but he loved it, super strong pour so you get your moneys worth!! The waiters are extremely knowledgeable and attentive!! Amazing service and atmosphere!!
Also, at this restaurant you cannot change or swap out menu items, no customizing whatsoever. Which is very normal for high class establishments. You also cannot take any leftovers, just wanted to add that in for people who haven’t been!

I thought the menu was overdone and left me searching for a complete meal that i would enjoy in its entirety. The lamb chops i had were beautifully cooked but such a small portion for a nearly $70 entree left me hungry and debating if i should get a burger on the way home. Its very dark and the piano played constantly while we were trying to talk so it wasnt the best atmosphere for conversation but it is very pretty inside.
If they had a more classic menu, didnt charge outrageous prices, and had better hours, this place would be WAY more popular.

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!
