LIKE AT HOME!

by lindas123

OUR FIRST TIME WAS A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. THE PLACE WAS PACKED BUT THE MAITRE'D

SAID THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US........AND HE DID. WE RECEIVED A COMP.GLASS OF WINE ( THE BAR WAS TO FULL TO GET A DRINK) AND WHEN WE SEATED , BRUSCCHETAS AND A DELICIOUS PASTA. THESE GUYS ARE PROS. WE WILL COME BACK.

• Pros: VERY ACCOMODATING.

Bad Italian!

by alfamilan

We have decided to try Da Vinci, after all, it has been there for all these years. Overall the food was bad and way too expensive, the portions were small (we are not big people), and unexciting. There are better values elsewhere. We will not go back to Da Vinci and we do not recommend it. For years we have been sampling many Bal Harbor area restaurants and don't mind paying a high price, but in this case, it's not at all justified. Two thumbs down.

• Cons: food ambiance

Pricey neighborhood restaurant

by hellramsey

Went there last night, quite charming looking if a bit tired decor. The service was attentive but overall our night out ended up disappointment. The bruchetta appetizer was good, but the ordered -and recommended- whole wheat pasta was though and the crab ravioli bland, the sauces tasted like they were overcooked and the drinks were way too strong and unbalanced. They were accomodating to our own wine -good considering the marked prices and selection- but they lacked proper glasses. In all we don't plan to go back.

• Cons: food ambiance

QUITE FRANKLY...VERY DISAPPOINTING DA VINCI

by trulover

AFTER SO MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN HERE, ONE MAY WONDER IF THE OWNER HAS MANY FRIENDS WRITING FOR HIM....THE FOOD WAS MEDIOCRE, SPECIALLY THE COMMERCIAL GRADE NOT HOMEMADE- PASTAS, THE SERVICE WAS ATTENTIVE, BUT STILL LESS THAN IDEAL, AND IT WAS VERY PRICEY.

I SPENT $175 IN DINNER FOR TWO, MUCH MORE THAN A NEIGHBORHOOD LITTLE RESTAURANT WITHOUT AN EXCITING LOCATION OR DECOR MIGHT CHARGE.

AND LASTLY, THEIR WINE LIST IS HORRIBLE! I CAN DEAL WITH WINE MARKUPS, SOME OUTRAGEOUS, AS LONG AS IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH IT. BUT LITERALLY, THERE WAS A WINE THAT I BUY FOR $9 THAT WAS ON THE MENU FOR $50!!! AT LEAST IF THEY OFFERED HARD TO FIND OR OBSCURE WINES THAT WERE THAT MARKED UP I MIGHT'VE THOUGHT ABOUT ORDERING, BUT THESE PRICES WERE OBSCENE!

• Pros: EASY LOCATION
• Cons: FOOD WINE LIST SETTING

great food, not most romantic

by selenemun

I enjoyed the non corporate delicious food and excellant service. However, this is not the most romantic restaurant in Miami. It is small with no view whatsoever. Davinci paintings on walls romantic? No way.

Freshly made pastas and good value make this romantic spot a Bay Harbor neighborhood favorite.

In Short
This elegant neighborhood restaurant is a sister restaurant to the popular Oggi. The Caffe's dining area features mood lighting, dark wood trim, fresh flowers and framed paintings by Old World masters on the walls. Even on weeknights, the place is packed with locals coming for the food and romantic atmosphere. The menu is filled with classic Italian cuisine made with fresh ingredients and served in unstinting portions. Entrees include crabmeat-stuffed ravioli and gnocchi in pesto.
