Best prawn cocktail starters and delicious sourdough pizza. Thanks to Marco and Emilio. Great service. Location outside overlooking Poole harbour is the best ever location.

Had an early evening meal here as a family of 4 with 2 children on a half term break in the vicinity of Poole. Am delighted to say it was perfect. Lovely staff, a relaxing ambience, great value, and delicious food - would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our pizza and salad! Our server was so friendly. The music playing created a lovely Italian ambiance, as well as the great art work.

Really tasty food, although probably because it's really naughty, cooked in butter, cream and general scrumminess. There was a good mix of English and Italian waiters, giving a sense of authenticity, plus tasteful background music. It was a bit pricey but coupled with the great atmosphere in there and the Quay outside we will definitely be back.

The beautiful Spanish galleon had arrived in Poole and we went for a visit. Da Vinci's was situated just outside. Had a beautiful breakfast and coffee - hope to come again soon. A+++

Food quality, staffing and ambiance all first rate. A pleasure to dine there. This family concern dates its heritage in Poole for over 30 years. Good to see a successful traditional business doing so well.

The restaurant is on the Quay. We sat down with our dog. The waiter took time with her as she's a little nervous. The menu was excellant, something to cater for everyone. We opted for lasagne and seafood risotto, without the squid ink. Also a portion of garlic bread. Both meals were excellant. The service and the staff were great. We wouldn't hesitate to go back

Sadly a disappointing wet pizza. But we will give the benefit of trying it again one day. I’m was a wet miserable evening so maybe when the sun comes out the pizza will be better!!

I have been to Da vinchi many times but not for years. From the moment we arrived the waitress Dulcie was courteous helpful and recommended a great wine . Marco our waiter seated us outside as it was a beautiful day. He was polite recommended a lovely pasta and salmon dish which was exquisite. My friend had a homemade pizza which was wonderful and not doughy like other places. Would highly recommend for the service the quality and the lovely sea views. Will definitely return

We had high hopes on visiting Da Vinci’s for lunch, having visited 20 years ago when the food was very good. We found it very overpriced for simple food, but worst of all was the pizza. You wouldn’t think that an established Italian restaurant could get this wrong. It was undercooked and soggy in the middle and practically cold. There were big lumps of tinned tomatoes and spears asparagus, enormous pieces of mushrooms that were watery and all added to the sogginess. An expensive and unsatisfactory lunch.

I promised to write this review when I visited last year but I never got round to it. Honestly one of the best Italian meals I've ever had and it was so good we visited two nights on the bounce. The people working in the restaurant were lovely and very accommodating considering how busy they were. Would not hesitate to visit again and would recommend anyone else visiting Poole to do the same :)

Myself and my partner live in the area, and have always wanted to go as we have heard many good things. We weren’t disappointed. The service was incredible, and the food was unbelievable. I would highly recommend anyone

Stooped here during day in Poole as had outside seating on the quayside. It was a very hot day, and fortunately we managed to get a table in the shade, albeit it was just 2 of us sat at a table for 4 - but the waiter seemed OK with this given the heat. We saw other couples sat in the sun moving to shaded tables as soon as one came free - so we were fortunate to get one straight away. Service was good & prompt without being over bearing. We weren't rushed and whilst we both had pizzas these were good, and other food as it came out looked equally appealing

Family meal, started with how quick can you eat comment. Food was mediocre at best and far too expensive for the quality offered. Meal was out in minutes, waitress seemed genuinely offended we were eating there and ignored us, didn't respond to our thanks or conversation and gave dirty looks. In and out in 30 minutes. I've spent more time having a macdonalds meal of a gigher quality. Definitely would not recommend. Pay double, get service and amazing food and go to harbour heights hotel instead. Definitely would not recommend.

We were looking for an alternative to pub grub and this place hit the spot. Tasty food, dog friendly, and our waiter Marco was friendly and attentive to us and our little pup. Would highly recommend this place!

Good food, reasonably priced and attentive staff. Stopped in Poole recently at Holiday Inn (rubbish by the way as well as expensive). Walked to local Marina and found quite a few places that looked interesting. Went for evening meal and thought the food wholesome and reasonably priced. Nice and clean.

Thought we'd try this as we're local.... Hmmmm not again. The food was tepid, customer service robotic and the prices inflated for what is a cheap pasta dish. Needless to say we won't support them out of season. Shame

I was on a holiday from London and visited Poole quay. The restaurant waiter was rude, no eye contact and very brisk in his attitude. I tried several times to catch his attention when one pizza from our order hadn't arrived. It was a struggle....

Disappointing. Reading the other reviews on this restaurant, we must have just gone on an off night. The starters were incredible I have to say but that was all that was good about the meal. Absolutely gutted with the main course as we were looking forward to an authentic crispy pizza base. Unfortunately it was really doughy, good taste just inedible base. Ordered new forest ice cream for dessert not convinced. It may have been but could have possibly been in the freezer for a few years. Bit of a shame. We’d like to go back as this is a local restaurant, hopefully they were just having an off night.

We were served by Sophie who was so friendly, helpful and attentive, seeming genuinely happy to help and serve us to make our dining experience the best it can be. The food and drink was brilliant quality with quick service, although at the time we went you could see the floor stuff were overrun with only around 4 or 5 servers working

The food is amazing, very tasty, unfortunately the service was very poor. We felt tricked into bottled water when there was tap available, even the waiter called our water tap water, but only till we had another bottle and double checked we found out. Two dishes were incorrect and instead of correcting it without hassle, we were made to feel very uncomfortable, like we were at fault... until another waiter came to fix the issue. The seasoned veg side was very poor as it was just some mushrooms and pepper, I was hoping for some greens. Anyways, if there was a different waiter, maybe my review would have been different.
