The best restaurants serving Italian food in Newport North Isle of Wight South East

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.

We've been here many times. It's conveniently located and usually very reliable in terms of food and service. This time it was a disaster. Saturday night and staff pretty much equalled the number of customers (4 tables). Despite this, service was lacklustre and seemed to be a side distraction from whatever else the waiters were doing. 3 pizzas and one pasta dish arrived but all 4 were lukewarm. The pasta was almost cold so was sent back once we managed to get a waiters attention again. We were so disappointed we made a point in saying afterwards it really wasn't good enough and at that point had one dish deducted from the bill. This isn't the point of course, you go out to eat and enjoy your meal, not to have a discount. We felt the place was sadly neglected and staff totally disinterested. Very sad for a chain that has always been so good in the past.

Horrendous experience. Staff treat you like you have disturbed them from using their phones when you arrive. Waiting forever for sub standard food. Such a shame as it could be a great venue.
