Da Vinci Restaurant in Isle of Wight

Very long wait in between courses.

It was a Monday so 3 for atmosphere

So yummy! We had the veggie options and shared pizza, pasta and salad and found the food to be top notch!

The food was simply outstanding in both taste and presentation with very generous portion sizes too. Seafood Spaghetti the standout and a fitting Tiramisu finale. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and highly recommended.

Superb! This place is amazing and i will be back soon with friends to show them how good this place is. The food is cooked to perfection and everything tastes unique. Don't be fooled by the prices because I'm sure that once you taste the food you will be amazed and worth every penny and the portions are huge. None of us managed to eat everything and that says a lot. I will bring my group over from the mainland to have a meal in there. Well done guys! Horacio Moderno

What a fantastic restaurant! Staff could not do enough for us they were so friendly. Food was outstanding, portions were large and the quality of ingredients were amazing. We ended up eating their twice in our 1 week break to the IOW. We will definitely be returning. Would highly recommend this restaurant, it was the best meal out we had!

Titanium was to die for. Added bonus the limincello liquor. Staff absolutely delightful 👌

Really enjoyed our meals. Was only us in the restaurant, but was a great experience. Only downfall was that it was slightly chilly in the restaurant , and there could've been more comfortable seating like booths ect. Not a big issue though and fully recommend.

Friendly staff, tasty food and well priced

Best Italian... second time. Will be back soon.

It was very busy but the staff really tried to do their best to serve customers. Great food.

Hello!!!👋 We had an extraordinary evening at Da Vinci restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff attentive and welcoming! 😍The order was ready very quickly, tasty and beautifully presented!!! 👍It was super cool!!!🫶🏻 I highly recommend Da Vinci restaurant!!!😍😍😍

We had a nice dinner in this restaurant. We felt welcomed here, food and service was great. I would recommend this place.

The food was sooo good. I would definitely recommend. The ambiance was really lovely, perfect for dates and group dinners. The service was prompt and friendly. I had the fish stew and seriously, the food was amazing!

A lovely place and delicious food, the service was excellent and with a smile and the dessert was heavenly

We were early on a Sunday as a family of 6 with two young children. The food was outstanding and the portions very generous. All the staff were very pleasant and attentive. It wasn’t busy when we first arrived however it was when we left. Would highly recommend!

It was amazing my child was very hungry and the waitress gave us strawberries free of charge. The food was delicious worth it.ate full

Fantastic food, amazing atmosphere and lovely staff - would highly recommend this restaurant.

Found this restaurant by chance on Google and what a lucky find. Excellent menu choice, beautiful freshly cooked food, efficient and friendly service and a great ambience. Would totally recommend this restaurant

Amazing Place where you can find the real Italian atmosphere. The food was amazing quality and prepared really nice from the chef. The cocktail was amazing and compliment for the service.

Great food, service, portions were big

We really liked the place, open until 11pm. There was no problem arriving without a reservation, the staff is very friendly and the music is Italian. The food seemed salty to me. However, the portion is very good and in relation to the price.

We arrived after 10, it was cold and we were starving. Even though we were late the staff were friendly and fabulous. The chef stayed and made us a delicious meal. We’ve eaten @ Da Vinci before and been impressed with food and service. Highly recommend. 😍

Lovely staff. Great food. Definitely recommend.

Very posh and me and my mate didn't fit in 🤣 but it was a fun experience

Excellent restaurant. Warm athmospere and excellent food.

This restaurant I think is the best, food and wine and atmosphere just unbelievable,actually I didn’t had such a lovely food for long long time

Amazing food and service!! 10/10!

Best food and service. Kleftiko and Fish Stew were amazing. In fact food was delicious and very good portions. It was all worth it. Thank you

Gorgeous food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. What a fantastic find!

This restaurant was truly amazing - - I have eaten in some of the top restaurants in London and just try this place and I guarantee you will give it a 5 star also!

Very Good food and service, one of the top restaurants we found on the Isle of Wight

We had a meal there Thursday evening. I had paella which wasnt great as the seafood particularly prawns were rubbery and over cooked, but what really should have set a red flag to me but sadly didnt were the mussels. It was strange at the time as half of them were boiling hot and half were stone cold. I stupidly ate them. Literally 3 hours later I had violent stomach ache, the runs and being sick which has carried on until today saturday. I have been there several times in the past but getting a dose of food poisoning because of the way the food was cooked and delivered has definitely made sure I unfortunately won't be there again :(

the atmosphere of da vinci really is beautiful, but the food is simply pretty disappointing. me and my partner came here for a date, my starter was parma ham which was beautifully done and i had no complaints about that whatsoever, however the main (i have regrettably forgotten the name of it) was very disappointing, especially for the price. it was cold in the middle as if it had been microwaved, and from where we were sat we had view into the kitchen which was quite offputting. if it hadn't have been for the fact that a tip is mandatory here, i would not have tipped.

I've been here multiple times the food is awesome ,our lovely waitress was attentive and freindly and the wine list is comprehensive. All very good in my opinion.

Had an amazing lunch, great food and wine. Service was exceptional. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Staff very kind & accommodating, the food was nice and well presented and the portion sizes were huge

I had the day special it was a seafood plater it had 3 types of fish,2 types of prawns and lots of shall and I had a mushroom risotto it was nice but the seafood was way better and I also had a Margarita pizza it was nicer than most of other pizza I tried. It also had some nice Italian music

I hesitated to walk in at 5.30 for dinner because it was empty, but was lured by the Italian music, tidy look, and smiley waitress. Ordered Salmon and Prawns in creamy sauce - AMAZING. As in, London and New York standard. Don't hesitate.

Great service, good food and pleasant experience

Excellent food, no other words.. everything we ordered was amazing and friendly staffs… highly recommended..

The only thing which wasn't amazing about our meal here was that this excellent restaurant deserved to be busier. The food was full of flavour and perfectly cooked. My tastebuds were coming alive even as I ate the bruschetta which was tasty and perfectly crisp (not crunchy) on the outside and soft on the inside. The staff were very attentive and it was lovely to chat to the owner too. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, this is the place. And nothing to do with this restuarant, but made me smile. I began speed reading, and just last night I read “The Da Vinci Code” in fifteen minutes. I know it’s only 4 words, but it’s a start. How I Mark I may mark differently to some other reviewers, some might see this as harsh, others may see it as fair. But here's how I look at it: 5 star - WOW. I want to go back and look forward to doing so. They delivered everything expected and more. The 'more' is normally about the service or attitude of the staff. 4 star - GOOD. They delivered everything I wanted and a bit more. I recommend them and would go back. 3 star - OK. They delivered what I expected, I would go back if I needed to, although don't currently plan on doing so. 2 star - Not very good. I didn't get what I expected and the service wasn't good. I don't recommend this place. I might get dragged back here, although will always try to avoid it 1 star - This was rubbish. Don't go there, I certainly won't go there again. I didn't get what I wanted, the people were unhelpful and I didn't enjoy it in any way.

Whilst visiting IOW went here for dinner. We all had different meals all of which were delicious. All the staff were attentive & friendly. Compliments to the chef

We had 6 meals hear. we work all over the UK and this meal..... was the best I've had anywhere in the UK. Everymeal was hot when presented. tasted amazing. 100% a must visit.

Excellent. Every thing was very gold

Every single dish on our table was great. They blew our mind! Staff were kind and friendly. Best Italian place I’ve ever been to.

The most incredible food! Seabass pasta was delicious! We went for my 30th and the service was amazing! We will be back for sure!

The atmosphere was nice, even though you might feel a bit closer to the other tables. The staff was polite and quick to respond. The food was good, but nothing special compared to the price. I would say it is a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall, a good experience.

Fabulous Place . Should be 10 stars , this place should be packed day and night . Sadly Newport is in decline , many shops empty . Had wonderful stone steak and Lamb shank . Beats other top restaurants and we’ve been to many .

Beautiful meal, lovely venue and friendly customer service. Food was very tasty, well priced for the quality and quantity given. Our favourite was the Parma ham starter!

This is the 4th time ordering and my pizzas have always been cold my garlic bread and chips were cold this time I also ordered a cheesecake that tasted like absolutely nothing

My wife and I were part of a party of 25. The food and service was fantastic. Well done to all the staff and Thank you!!

Fantastic food and the service and care from the restaurant was above and beyond

Great service lovely food and looks great in side the restaurant a big like from me and my family a bit pricey but you only live once it is great for Xmas and great for birthdays or a special day to day it was my wife birthday 65 to day the best we had a great time with great service it's the best restaurant in Newport 🤩😋😁

Cold in there, food very very average considering the cost. Good cocktails. Overall not the best experience

I’ve eaten here on a few occasions. The food is ok, not out of this world, but I return because I like service from staff and the atmosphere is nice. The only downside to the experience is that 10% service charge is unable to be taken off. (The owner/manager) has refused on both occasions I’ve asked. Usually I don’t mind paying a service charge but on this occasion I just happened to ask if it goes to the waiting/kitchen staff. The answer is no, it doesn’t. I was informed I could leave an additional tip on top if I wished to thank them for their service. Our meal cost £160 for 2 including the service charge so I didn’t feel inclined to leave more money. I agree with a service charge for large groups but fewer than 6 feel it should be discretionary. I just feel that customers should be aware that the service charge does not go to the staff. And the staff, especially Callum, are fab and work so hard.

Great food, friendly service. Good veggie options

The pizza’s arrived hot and fresh. Absolutely love Da Vinci would recommend it to everyone

Excellent food. :) really enjoyed it.

Delicious, good portion size for money would order again

The lamb was good but the pizza was somehow bland.

Wonderful charming atmosphere and a wide selection of delicious seafood. Welcoming and friendly staff :)

How do I start food was amazing staff are super funny and charismatic really made our experience here truly amazing. I would recommend the tiramisu my piece could honestly of fed a family of 4. I’m not complaining.

We were let down by Deliveroo with our order however, a wonderful man called Callum from the restaurant, personally delivered our food! What a lovely man and the food was gorgeous. Thank you Callum😊

Lovely restaurant, service was brilliant, food was absolutely amazing . A little more pricey than some other places but for special occasion it was really nice .

The best meal I had on the island during this trip the scallops were a good size and the portion of stuffed Belly pork good. It would have been better to open the wine at the table.

Excellent food. Prompt service. Was earlier than estimated, which was not a problem. Portions were generous as well.

We popped in for an early evening meal, whilst on holiday on the island, without booking, and we were made very welcome. The staff were very obliging and helpful and the food was delicious. The scallops starter just melted in the mouth! The entire meal (3 courses) was tasty and very well presented. Will definitely return .

Low grade, high volume generic Italian. Plenty of salt and mot much flavour. Kitchens don't seem to know the difference between spaghetti and linguine.

Their pasta, best in Portsmouth. Other high rated pasta in Portsmouth is all below Da Vinci. No one in Portsmouth can beat Da Vinci for the pasta.

Fabulous food, and welcoming staff. Absolutely amazing highly recommend!!

Bring my whole family over 17 people to this restaurant to celebrate my mother birthday. The manager reserve nice area, all staff serve very well. Food is very good! Highly recommend!

Fantastic and professional service Celebrated mom’s birthday tonight, those waitress & waiter are so good and kind I ordered the onion soup and spaghetti were so nice

I had only ordered a risotto and was very pleased in the way it had slid down my throat, it brought me back to my teenage years, the sensations I had felt were beyond immaculate, the presentation was far beyond any restaurant in the world . I will definitely be visiting again 💋🧓

Great food excellent staff. Callum was lovely. Cook food the way you ask 😋

Am not sure I have words to explain this feeling. The food was wow. The price was a bit on the high side but it was worth it. Each bite was WOW. Went with family and the environment and service was very good. The waiter explained the food we didn't know what it was about and was patient with us. The drink menu had a lot of options to it. Food one: Fresh linguine frutti di mare Drink: Cocktail pina colada Food two: Fresh spaghetti Funghi Other food we had were; Pollo involtine Spaghetti cabanas Spaghetti bolognese

Just wow.. Fantastic food.. At last a restaurant you don't need to season your food, because it's perfectly seasoned.. The restaurant was recommended to us by a good friend of us... And he was absolutely correct.. The interior of the restaurant is very modern and looks great.. The staff were friendly and helpful. We just showed up (it's our honeymoon) and we where seated straight away.. But I would recommend to give them a call prior just in case and to reserve.. The price of the food was perfect considering the quality. We look forward seeing you again either this holiday or the next one to the Isle of Wight.. Best regards from the honeymoon couple 🤗

Love this restaurant and the food. Service wonderful. Highly recommend.

Arrived 5:30pm to a friendly welcome, nice selection on the menu plus a specials selection. Chose scallops and Thai fish cakes starters which had plenty of mixed salad. Could not fault them! Mains followed, saltemboca steak and stuffed chicken breast which enjoyed perfect accompaniments, we were too full to try the excellent selection of sweets though. Accompanied by Multipulciano Reserva, very very satisfactory.

The Portion size of starters is even great. We ordered onion soup with the name hearing it for the first time we wanted to try it out and were little skeptical honestly but the taste was just splendid and the portion of so heavy that we couldn't even finish it. We had the seafood platter as when is another great choice to have from the menu.

Great service, great food very friendly staff.

We booked weeks in advance and were bluntly greeted at the door by a staff member who was clearly having a bad shift. The two younger staff were great but the more senior member was full of sarcastic comments, slamming things around and generally unpleasant. It's a shame because the food was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend it you enjoy a good steak.

We had a family of 4 adults and 2 kids, so thankful that they took us in so close to their mid break ( closed between 3 -5pm). Very beautiful restaurant and fabulous service from our waiter Callum ! Kind, assertive and made both kids smile!! Food was really good, tasted very good, just the volcano prawns could be more spicy but the taste was on point! Drinks were really lovely. Really enjoyed our meal and would go again if ever in the Isle of Wight again.

Wasn’t worth the money. The food was bland and disappointing

Amazingly tasty food, very fresh and generous portions. Real Italian food 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Went there for a date night with my other half. Service is good and food is great. We had the steak on hot rock. It was an interesting experience. Would definitely visit again. Only downside was both of us strongly smelt of steak. Our little girl even noticed the strong Smokey steak smell on our clothes.

Much better than I expected. Honestly, didn't know what to expect. The food was wow! You don't really get this stuff in London.

Too salty the spaghetti carbonara. Both sea bass and soup of the day were good though.

Went along for a mothers day meal, and as ever the food is beautiful, service always with a smile and a very welcoming relaxing place to eat. Lovely added touch of flowers for all Mums. We have been many times now, for Xmas parties, for birthdays and anniversaries and now mothers day. Always a pleasure to be here and looking forward to going again very soon.

Delicious food and cocktails, excellent service and nice atmosphere.👍 I’ll definitely come back here again!😊

This is our second time for a special occasion. 1st was Christmas day, second being Valentines. Da Vinci does not dissappint and serves food and beverage with exceptional service and standards. A perfect intimate dining experience with a family feel to it. Food was divine, full of flavour and plentiful. I highly recommend this venue. We will most definitely be back and telling friends and family to book here. Can see this place becoming a go to restaurant that will be a popular and a favorite listing, not only in Newport, but island wide. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Friendly and polite staff. Best Fillet Steak I have ever had. Lovely.

Great food very tasty lovely staff nice atmosphere well worth a visit happy days

Absolutely excellent service,food,atmosphere brilliant recommend to everybody i know.

Delicious food and great service. Highly recommend!

Went with friends on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming. The food is absolutely fantastic. Really lovely menu both food and drinks. From wine to cocktails...Steak served on rocks to fish and pasta. Lovely comfortable chairs and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Cannot rate the food here enough, every dish we ate was acceptional, fresh and mouth watering. The restaurant was extremely busy and service was lacking consitency. Over all it was a good experience by all.

It's Sunday night, staying at #oneholyrood hotel, it's dark, freezing and we didn't want to go far .... Da Vinci's was perfect. A delightful waitress, Wine at the perfect temperature, delicious Kleftico and tagliatelle de mare. Can't recommend more highly.

Great food and atmosphere...super service, we do miss you in yarmouth though.

Lovely staff and superb food. Fabulous birthday meal
