We came here for our date night, and they were surprisingly not busy when we came in. We’ve always had to wait on a table. Don’t get me wrong, the wait is MORE than worth it! Ashley waited on us, and gave us the absolutely most delicious recommendations. We have our favorites and we are so glad we tried her suggestions. Ashley is their manager and she combined a few different items to create something we had never thought of! Cannot recommend this place enough!

If I was just driving by I wouldn't have stopped. I heard the guy in the back speaking with an Italian accent, come to find out he's the owner. I immediately got excited and for good reason, the food was amazing, I had chicken parm and the homemade bread with homemade garlic oil to dip was on point! Perfect little spot basically in a neighborhood and let's not forget Ashley C, her service is the example everyone should follow.

Traveled from Clarksville to see what this little spot was all about and I’m so impressed! It was delicious, we had 3 baskets of bread with a side of oil. (took some of this home, too!). I had many plates of eggplant parm, and this was the best one by FAR! Staff was kind, responsive, and had the best sense of humor! Will definitely be coming back.

Ashley was our server and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience! Everything was so good! I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my husband had the eggplant Parmesan! 10/10! We enjoyed the tiramisu for dessert! The owner was also the chef and I can honestly say he was a beast in the kitchen!! We stumbled across a true gem!!

My husband and I found Da Vinci’s over 12 years ago on Urban Spoon. Since then, we have made multiple visits and made sure to tell everyone we know that is in the area or passing through, “It is worth the detour to visit Da Vinci’s!” Not only is the food fresh and consistently delicious, the hospitality is unmatched. There is no other restaurant you will visit and feel like you’re part of the family. We’ve been gone from the area for 10 years now, so, we always look forward to a little detour to Da Vinci’s when we are traveling through!

I give this place a 10 out of 5! Seriously though. Eating at Da Vinci was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my life! I only thought I knew what real Italian food was. I like Olive Garden, but this place makes Olive Garden look like the McDonald's of Italian Food. Yes. It's that good. Bring cash or your check book. In true Old World style, they don't take credit cards. My husband lived in Italy for about a year while he was in the Navy. He said the food was just as tasty as he remembers. That is no surprise considering that the chef/owner is half Italian.... and you hear it when he speaks. He migrated to the US from Italy. His mother was Italian, and I think the hostess said his father was from Czechoslovakia. We arrived before they opened for dinner and waited, so were first in. It's a good thing we were. By the time we got our appetizers, the restaurant was beginning to fill up and when we left, they had a waiting list. The dining room is not set up to allow a lot of people, so it wasn't loud. We didn't have one waitress. All of the staff checked on and served all of the tables. They were all very pleasant and seemed happy to be there. They do take reservations, so I'd suggest making reservations if you don't plan to be there between 4:30 and 5 to get a table. Most of the entrees range between. 12 and 20 with some like veal and steak being higher priced. I've included pictures of what we ate. The pictures loaded backwards. Definitely go to Da Vinci. Date night anyone?

Y'all! Best Italian food I have ever had! I do not say that lightly, from the bread and oil to the entrees, drinks from the bar, and dessert. Let's me break this down for you. One cook, one dishwasher, one waitress, one hostess. Make time for this experience, because that's what it is. If you don't go home pleased then it's a you problem my friend! They make homemade pasta, to order alfredo sauce (if you know you know....that was not "batch" made sauce.) The marinara was on point. Our party of 11 had four kids meals (every kid was impressed and took home leftovers), chicken parm, chicken alfredo, pasta carbonara, mushroom ravioli (no, the mushrooms were not slimy, they were prepared correctly!) lasagna, and last but not least chocolate cake and tiramisu. There were zero complaints, without question this is a must go establishment. If I could give them more than five stars I would! This will be my go to for anniversary and birthday dinners.

Homemade Authentic Italian Food! One of the best waitress whom recommended the wine to the fresh specials. My husband swears the best steak he has had in a long time. I chose the shrimp with dried tomatoes in a light sauce with plenty of homemade bread. We finished with homemade cannoli and fresh coffee. To some of the comments on wait, time flew by for us. It's not a chain, but truly a place to enjoy with the owners love to share his wonderful food in our community. Please see the photo. Our wine came with a pink ribbon with words of support for breast cancer, it was very special for me, I appreciated the added touch and support of a cause close to my heart
