Da Vinci Restaurant & Bar in Isle of Wight

We stumbled across Da Vinci Mediterranean restaurant by accident and thought we'd try it for lunch. Absolutely delicious...smoked salmon bruschetta, seafood spaghetti and mushroom risotto, with a bottle of prosecco. Great portions and very tasty. Friendly staff who didn't rush us. Will definitely go back.

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

Situated in central Newport this is an ideal place for dinner. Friendly staff and excellent food make this a place to return to again and again. Thank you for the wonderful food and attentive service.

Amazing food and service. My mum and I visited the Isle of Wight and I had read that this restaurant served gluten free food. We didn’t see that they had decided to close for lunch that day so I was so so disappointed as I had driven there for that reason. They decided to serve just my mum and me so we had the whole restaurant for ourselves, it was just the kindest thing and so so appreciated. The food was amazing. What a incredible service just truly grateful. Best place to eat.

Well all i can say is amazing. My wife and I went for dinner about a month ago for our wedding anniversary and had such a great meal, so when it came to my wife birthday it was where we were going. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious I didn’t tell anyone it was for her birthday meal with the family but while we were talking someone heard , at the end of our lovely meal a plate turned up with a pudding and happy birthday written in chocolate and candles , wow how nice

The food was absolutely incredible! I can definitely say this is one of the best meals I’ve had in my life! The staff were also very attentive. Highly recommend

First time to Da Vinci and it won't be the last. The restaurant is modern, clean with little Mediterranean touches. I had the BBQ pizza which was very tasty thee was enough for two! My daughter had the smoked haddock risotto which was delicious and cooked to perfection. We couldn't resist the cheesecake and tiramisu and they certainly didn't disappoint . The staff were very friendly and attentive. I'm not one to write food reviews but I am all for supporting local businesses in which highly recommend this establishment. We will definitely be back

Just enjoyed an absolutely fabulous meal to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. The staff, food and ambience were beyond our expectations. They made us feel very very special. Thank you.

Very nice restaurant. Staff were extremely accommodating and the food was amazing. The atmosphere of the room was beautiful would definitely recommend.

Delicious Italian food. We had a warm welcome and the staff were friendly and the service was prompt. I had goats cheese and beetroot followed by penne pollo and it was fabulous. The wine list is also quite extensive and varied. I would recommend this restaurant highly.

Was staying in Newport and chose this restaurant by chance. We are pleased we did. Modern, attractive, well appointed restaurant with great food, huge portions (maybe too big) and friendly and professional staff and service. 4 meals, no complains. Good wine list.

An excellent restaurant. Friendly and very welcoming staff and management. I had the paella which was absolutely perfect and delicious. Great food and wine menu, and a lovely atmosphere. The best place to eat in Newport.

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 :(

Lovely atmosphere and great menu. The staff were excellent and really looked after us. The food was superb, I can thoroughly recommend the scallops and bruschetta! You must visit, it’s a little gem.

I am very impressed. The meal was exceptional. Great portion sizes with good quality ingredients. Plenty to choose from off the menu. The staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant is decorated very nicely giving a very relaxing ambiance to enjoy our food. Would not hesitate in recommending.

We came here for our Dad’s birthday meal. The service was excellent, and the food was exceptional. My two children were with us too and made to feel so welcome. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated for Christmas as well as spotlessly clean. Thank you so much to the Da Vinci team, you are amazing!

We visited this restaurant tonight and the food was excellent. The starter was rather large but very nice. The mains very large and again very nice. Lovely little waitress very friendly and helpful. You cannot fault the food it was very fresh and hot. I have no hesitation recommending this restaurant to anyone. We will definite be back

I have not got a bad word to say about this place, the size of the portions were amazing for the price, the service is brilliant and polite. Callum in particular was amazing, it was my 20th birthday and he made sure we were always looked after. The birthday dessert was absolutely incredible and I have never been so accommodated in a restaurant before. I would recommend everyone to go here for the service and food alone, it is everything you could want and more ! ❤️

We were staying in Newport for a short break and liked the look of both the venue and the menu so booked a table for our first evening. We were warmly welcomed by Rachel and shown to our table all the while enjoying pleasant and informative interaction with her. When the food arrived it was superb and we cleared our plates completely !! Having enjoyed it so much we decided to visit again for my wife’s birthday 2 evenings later and received an equally warm welcome from Callum. Again we were not disappointed and enjoyed another excellent meal with great service with my wife enjoying the complimentary cocktail which Callum mixed for her. Thank you all for 2 great evenings.

Popped in for lunch. Rachael, our waitress, was cheerful and helpful. We had the most amazing meal. Met the lovely chef. Left very happy. Would highly recommend. Not the cheapest but certainly worth every penny for their excellence and quality of service and food.

We were celebrating an anniversary and were so glad we chose Da Vinci’s . The food was freshly cooked and really delicious, and the service from Callum was perfectly judged. Cocktails were great too. This is a restaurant that is family owned and an amazing addition to the Isle of Wight eating out experience. If you want a great meal, with perfect service you can’t do better x

Booked this for a birthday meal after seeing reviews and hype on inst/Facebook! Very disappointed, no atmosphere, only two other tables in on a Friday night. Very overpriced for average food and average service! The head waitress very abrupt, felt like we were her kids at dinner time! Surprised she turned a party of 2 and a party of 8 away at 9.10pm saying the kitchen was closed! Paella was nice and pudding was tasty, overall experience very disappointing. Prices reflect a fine dining experience, won’t be returning.

Went for a meal last week at Da Vinci Restaurant in Newport with some friends, had an amazing evening. The food could not be faulted and was cooked to perfection, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downfall was a table of eight people, who were very rude to the staff and had a young waitress in tears. We have eaten in Da Vinci on many occasions and have never had a bad meal, great place to eat, highly recommend if you want a great evening.

Three of us had Kleftico lamb which was beautifully cooked and a chef speciality. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The decor and ambiance was a very pleasant experience and I'd definitely go back again. Only downside was an extremely rude group who were very loud and insulting to the staff, bringing one of them to tears. I think they were looking for a free meal, because they'd virtually cleared everything off their plates before they started their tirade. Still, it added a free floor show for us, although not pleasant for the very polite staff who had to manage the group.

I cannot believe how terrible this place was. We ordered 2 pints of Madri and it tasted like vinegar. Starters tasteless King Prawn Volcano, no flavour. Spanish Paella was a microwaved dish with chicken that was rubbery, wasn't chewable and wasn't cooked that day. When we complained the Manager shrugged his shoulders and walked off and stood with a table of customers who he knew and one of them shouted Northern pauper W**Kers and the manager laughed. I have never been in a place under staffed and rude in my entire life.

Amazing food and super friendly staff. Plenty of choices, all the tastes of the Mediterranean. Can’t wait to go back soon!

We had originally booked another Italian but this was recommended by the hotel we are staying in. What a treat, amazing food, we had the salmon bruschetta to share which was one of the specials along with the most amazing paella also another special & my husband had a chicken pasta which he loved. We didn't have room for a dessert but had spotted a fab coffee machine earlier so we order 2 lattes. Our 7 year old was also with us & she had a kids pizza which was amazing & really generous size for a kids pizza. All portions to be honest were on the larger side & we loved the food & the atmosphere. Our server Callum, was funny, honest & made a huge effort with our daughter with an iced glass of water which had strawberries & lemons in it which she loved. It was just an extra touch but he also had a great sense of humour & convinced me to order a bottle of prosecco rather than a glass in such a funny way. Oskana was also working with him & she was polite & really helpful. They both make such a good team together. So delighted we chose here rather than our previous choice of restaurant as such a gem of a restaurant., amazing food & fantastic restaurant. We look forward to returning ❤️

Very good food, speedy and friendly service. Callum was very nice, would recommend. It’s a nice addition to Newport high street

Our food was great - generous portions, very tasty, and lovely desserts. The vegetarian meal I had was delicious, and the service was great too. We'd eat here again if visiting the island.

An amazing quality Restaurant. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Friendly, efficient service from the management, Callum and the team. Quality meals from the five star Chefs. A good varied menu. One of the best restaurants on The Isle Of Wight 😋🥂🍾🍷😉👍

Booked out the restaurant for the evening for a networking event of about 70 people. Service absolutely sublime. The food amazing and takes of wine and drinks. Good music and good fun. Couldn't have been any better even if we had done it in London....

Very good menu. Didn’t know what to choose. I had the slow cooked lamb shoulder and my husband had the seafood linguini. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and sent back empty plates. The staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the affogato for desert....

The food here is amazing. Huge portions, beatifully cooked. Service was fab too. The photos day it all 10/10 from us

This is a great Italian restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and drink.

This place is an average Italian style restaurant which charges a premium price and adds on a service charge I had the seafood linguini which was very nice but my partner had a steak which was tough and covered by thick sauce so she couldn't...

First time in Da Vinci's and it wont be the last. Went there last night to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. Everything was faultless, all our meals, (starter, main & desert) was top notch, staff very good. Look forward to our next visit.

Just called in on a Saturday night and they fitted us in. Used and Ahred about having a started but then saw the size of them so went straight in for mains. My partner had the lasagna and I had the chef’s special lamb. Wow,...

An excellent place for lunch, My husband started with the Tai fish cakes, two very large ones with plenty of salad, which he doesn't eat. So it went well for me as I had it with the BBQ Chicken pizza which we shared.

Outstanding food and service! We came from London to have a few days off with family, ended up booking in advance for the following days as well. Nice and friendly staff, delicious food and the most exotic cocktails, definitely recommend!!!

Visited with friends. We're down the bell on the table to call the waitress. First time the waitress was attentive and took the order quickly, the food was good but over priced. Then we were left for ages after the parts were cleared. Pressed the...

We were here as a family for Christmas day. Perfect experience and could not fault thing. Made to feel welcome, food was beautiful, and God knows the amount of pressure that goes into making the food special on these occasions. We loved our day here...Thank-you...

What a shame!! Loved coming to this restaurant and bringing new friends and family here to enjoy the amazing fish dishes, but must say this time what a disappointment. Overcooked and not fresh. I hope this was a one off! Although they didn’t charge me...

What a find, this place is incredible, excellent service, excellent food and wine. The atmosphere is full of warmth and extremely attentive staff. Can not wait to come back and I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly staff and lovely food made for a fabulous birthday meal. Nicely sized portions. No complaints from any of our group

Disappointed! the brie was frozen and not fresh, was stone cold in the middle and not melted. The calamari was also bagged and frozen. It’s not that difficult to breadcrumb fresh produce yourself and put it in the fryer. And for some reason the chef...

Wonderful food , a wide variety of dishes to choose from and great atmosphere , we really enjoyed our evening

Lovely menu. Excellent though a little pricey. Staff were helpful. Quite crowded but with a good vibe. Food all enjoyed, with generous portions

We ate here for 5 nights in a row as we loved it so much (and we were staying a few doors down at One Holyrood). Very tasty Mediterranean food and delicious veg perfectly cooked. I couldn't choose a favourite dish as they were all...

Had a fantastic meal tonight the Moules marinière were the best I’ve ever had and loads for a starter, I had linguine Fructe de mare and it was delicious too. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back

What a fantastic meal we had. The barman started singing Sinatra etc and what a great voice. Food was great, starters were enormous and altogether a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Where do I begin in trying to sum up Da Vinci In Newport Holyrood St on the Isle of Wight… Lovely setting and general aesthetic, I had a Caesar Salad and my partner the penne pasta. I thought I wasn’t feeling very well as the...

The vibe, the decor, the staff, and the food make this place special. It could fit in any major metropolitan centre. It has a hip, happening vibe; the decor is modern, bright, and welcoming; the staff are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the food is...

Great food, great service & classy decor! What more could we ask for? If you're staying in or around the Newport area of the island then you'll have a great meal here. Highly recommend & will eat here again for sure!

Very good food. We all enjoyed our main courses & the desserts were huge & deliciously homemade which is a real treat in the world of restaurants passing off pre made frozen dessert as homemade. Well priced, definitely worth it, great wine list, good selection...

What a fantastic place! Booked this last minute and glad we did. The service was friendly and prompt from the second we got in the door. The staff were friendly and incredibly attentive to when you were finished or may want something but at the...

We were only looking for a "real" pizza but found this Italian restaurant on our google map and how glad we were - we even went back again 2 days later for another meal. Staff really friendly and the food was excellent. Fish stew was...

What a wonderful find in Newport Isle of Wight. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. The lamb was so tender and just fell apart. Big portions.

Came across this restaurant by accident - lucky for us! Beautiful, clean, stylish restaurant - spotless interiors and floors. Sailed through my ‘sticky table’ test - tables were polished and not sticky in any way! Food was absolutely delicious - we both had the Da...

Stumbled into this restaurant early on a Saturday evening. The staff was very accommodating and able to seat us, even though we did not have a reservation. The food was great, as was the service. By the time we were ready to leave, the restaurant...

This restaurant was in the next street to our hotel and we liked it so much, we ate here twice in two days. The first time I had the veal saltimbocca which was delicious and the second time had an equally delicious chicken dish in...

We visited here two nights on the trot after trying other places in Newport. Very friendly and informative staff, and the decor is lovely. The first night we both had veal, which was delicious. The second night I had Ravioli. I asked for extra parmesan...

The food was amazing. I had scallops on pea purée followed by spaghetti fungi. It was delicious. There was a wide range of drinks on offer. My husband had a pint of Madri and my daughter had a mocktail. The staff were friendly and attentive...

We just had a superb meal at the Da Vinci Restaurant for our daughter’s birthday - a lovely place, great food and impeccable staff, particularly Shely, so attentive and friendly. Thank you 💕

Despite being one of the first groups to arrive at the restaurant, at a little after 6pm for dinner, we had to wait an hour and 10 minutes for our starter only to find that only 1 starter arrived instead of the 3 ordered. However,...

The service was second to none. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The food was amazing. Definitely 11/10. I would definitely say it was value for money. I would recommend it to anyone. I had what I consider the best tirimasu I've ever had.

Attended Da Vinci's at the weekend for lunch, fantastic food, fantastic ambience and fantastic attentive staff.Easily the best Italian meal I have had on the Isle of Wight.Would highly recommend.

Have been before and because we had such a good meal and good service went for our anniversary. The tables for 2 are very small and are tight against wall. Coke was flat in my Bacardi and Coke. The scallops l had for starter were...

We had a lovely family meal here. The food is excellent and the portions will fill even the hungriest of patrons. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely amazing experience! I had the salmon da Vinci which was beautifully cooked in a lovely sauce with prawns 11/10. My partner had the drunken chicken which again absolutely beautiful. Mary and Cosmin took good care of us and made sure we had everything we...

The best pizza I've ever had, the services is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable - thank you!! Highly recommended.

This was close to our overnight stay on IoW and had good reviews. Monday is a quiet night in Newport but we still had a very nice dinner here. Fish was very fresh and presented with a range of vegetables. Wine selection was a bit...

A 1st time visit. Packed out inside with a couple being turned away. The starters are a meal unto themselves and should really be per couple. The dishes are well presented, with the staff being friendly and efficient. The food itself was very tasty. Prices...

The food was beautifully presented and of a high standard. We had a mix of starters, pizza and seafood dishes and were impressed with all of them. Our server (Shely) worked well with the children, ensuring their meals came out first. The restaurant is a...

We had an exceptional meal here. The food really was delicious. We were let in despite the restaurant being full, to our surprise. Whilst we did appreciate this, we did have to sit next to a large table of maybe 20 which was incredibly loud....

Despite being a large group of 15, I cannot fault the service or experience that we received from Da Vinci's. Staff were attentive from the moment we arrived. Drinks menu is large with wine, beers, soft drinks and yummy cocktails. The food menu is smaller,...

We had dinner here last Saturday and from the beginning it was rather chaotic, waiter brought the wrong wine, I had ordered 2 starters rather than a main, and I asked the waitress to bring them both together with my husbands main```. She appeared very...

Went here for Dinner, firstly the the resturant looked nice but bright lights could of be turned down a little. They had a buzzer system on the table so when you wanted something you pressed it and they came, don't think ours was working so...

Having heard lots about this new restaurant we tried it & wasn't disappointed. Normally Italians are just about pizza & pasta but we thought we'd try all the seafood to see if it was all up to scratch.........it was!! The portions are massive, we could...

DaVinci is worth a visit. Isle of Wight is one of the most beautiful places to visit, but the best place in the UK to eat tasty is DaVinci! friendly staff, great chef, everything thought out down to the smallest detail. a special place, where...

From the warm welcome as I walked into Da Vinci I was not disappointed! The décor, warm welcome, innovative table ordering system it was all great! The calamari was delicious, and quite obviously fresh and the pork tenderloin meal was equally as good. The wine...

Very shoddy customer service. Asked 3 times for water before we actually received any. One of the specials was cooked with lemongrass but the chef had forgotten to cut the hard stalks off. When the waitress cleared the plates I told her about this and...

Excellent italian restaurant, with a fab atmosphere & attentive staff. Yes, you can order pizza & pasta, but it has choice & a vibe that is a cut above the usual italian meal

Where do I begin when trying to sum up the brilliant Da Vinci Restaurant and Bar, Newport Isle of Wight? Well, first let me give my opinion of the food... It's bonkers how tasty everything is! I visit a lot, which is an understatement, and...

We ate here on a Thursday evening having decided we fancied an italian. The place was almost empty - just 3 other tables occupied. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but it took nearly 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive. The barman could not...

Romantic mea for two? No chance here Quite noisy restaurant catering for large birthday groups. Many out for Valentine meal unable to speak with one another over the racket. AC constantly running and absolutely freezing, no idea why it needed to be on it’s the...

Visited as a group of friends during the week. All the food was delicious, particularly the amazing desserts which are a must! Service was attentive but not overbearing and the atmosphere was calm. Just what Newport needs, we will be back!

We ordered the seafood spaghetti which was the best we have ever had, anywhere. Full of seafood and a very tasty sauce. Couldn't be bettered. Friendly service too and a lovely modern environment. Will definitely return.

Overall we enjoyed our meal and the restaurant is very nice. This was our first visit , the food was good but could have included more potatoes and veg for the price. My husband said his ribeye steak was very good but a seperate plate...

Booked a table for our first night out in ages due to covid. Got an e mail confirmation. When we got there, they said we weren't booked in. They didn't want to see our booking confirmation but did try and seat us at table table...

We'd eaten for the first time at this restaurant recently and loved both the food and service. Unfortunately, not such a great experience today when we went with friends for lunch. Our friend was unable to finish his dry spaghetti carbonara and our spaghetti with...
