This hipster haven specializing in Italian Asian fusion of all things makes a mean breakfast that defies the foodie dogma of miniscule portions and obscure concoctions that force you to eye-roll almost as fast as your stomach grumbles. Their twist on Eggs Benedict was stellar as was the beyond ample side of bacon, although the hockey puck density of the hash browns needs some refinement. I'm still laying down five stars for a meal fit for a lumberjack. read more

Breakfast at DaVinci & Yu was splendid. Our waiter was awesome! The coffee was delicious and our waiter kept the coffee flowing. The pancakes were good but I do like a little bit more crisp on my pancakes. The bacon was well done just the way I like it! We were not rushed out after we were finished eating. Looking forward to trying this location for dinner. read more

I'm always curious how fusion restaurants will deliver. I love the decor and the music. I looked at the menu in advance but not inside pics, so was pleasantly surprised when I entered. I was greeted and seated immediately and first in my party, so no wait for everyone to be seated. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The brisket was delicious and tender and enough on its own without an individual appetizer. Make sure you get a complete bite with rice and the slaw. The other entrees and the apps were a little unbalanced in flavor. They were good sizes but could have been shared, and should have been given how full we were. The black sesame tiramisu was pretty good, but I think I was expecting something different. Definitely a shareable size. We all were pretty full leaving here. read more

This was my first time in the space since it switched from Flannel to DaVinci & Yu, and I was impressed! We split three dishes and were satisfied, with even some leftovers. The first dish to come out was the Caprese Fresh Roll (burrata, Thai basil, roasted tomatoes in rice paper wrap with a balsamic-soy glaze for dipping). The dipping sauce was sooo delicious! Next came the Eggplant Focaccia Pie (breaded & fried eggplant over chopped spinach, fontina cheese, roasted garlic, and agrodolce pepper-drops) which was also really yummy. Finally came the Cacio E Pepe E Miso (pecorino-romano, chitarra pasta, sichuan pepper, dandelion miso, heavy cream, and nori). Don't be intimidated by the sichuan pepper on the menu - it wasn't spicy! Overall it was a great meal. Now I just have to come back to try the Ube Espresso Martini (which I saw someone order near me and stared at longingly as it passed by my table). read more

I love this place. I love the whimsy of the interior with the bright colors and disco ball and the bar that feels intimate. I also love the very curated cocktail list that Bee the bartender has developed. The happy hour selection is so good and the bar is friendly with new comers and regulars. They have great happy hour bites (bao buns, meat balls and delicious snacks) but oh my gosh. The wagyu beef smash burger is unbelievable. And this past visit, my daughter ordered the wagyu burger with the fried Mac n cheese. I can't tell you how this hits. Cheesy, gooey, beefy and seasoned to perfection. This place has creative drinks, a creative menu and a welcoming staff with a sweet spot for a drink. You should come here. (Also! An ube espresso martini? So good!) read more

Food: Limited menu, but packed with bold, creative flavors. Favorites: Adobo stinco (fall-off-the-bone, full of flavor) and orange chicken parm (crispy and satisfying). The kimchi flatbread and fried shishito peppers were solid starters. Korean-style brisket and cacio e pepe e miso were just okay -- not as memorable as the other dishes. Ube espresso martini was good, but not a must-try. Service: Friendly and attentive. Staff was helpful with recommendations and kept everything moving at a good pace. Ambiance: Casual and laid-back with a modern touch. It still feels cozy and neighborhood-focused, honoring the vibe of the old Flannel spot but with a fresher twist read more

I love the color of this drinks. It was made fine. I would've preferred sweeter but it was appropriately stiff and well done. It didn't occur to me that dinner food might not be available yet and I ended up only having a drink. Maybe another time I will try some food. Nice staff here. read more

We went to DaVinci and Yu on a Saturday night and completely fell in love. We booked one of the last reservations of the night but were able to be seated about 20 mins before our reservation which was a great first impression. We'd been to Flannel before and were completely blown away by how different and ambient it looked inside the dining room. You almost don't even realize there used to be a campfire theme in there! We did the restaurant week menu plus the shrimp toast because we couldn't pass it up. The shrimp toast was probably the best bite of the night. We couldn't believe how enormous the caesar salad was or how crispy the chicken bao were. Let me tell you about the Italian wedding ramen. The broth was thick and savory, the noodles had the perfect bite, and there were so many fun and tasty additions: meatballs, brisket, rice cakes, etc. Since our reservation was so late we were basically closing the place up. But we weren't rushed or anything. The only downside is that they ran out of the black sesame tiramisu and cannoli since it was literally the end of the night. We did expect this to happen, and they graciously got us two flan instead even though it wasn't part of the restaurant week options. We WILL be back. Excellent service, super fun food that's not gimmicky at all and backed by flavor, and overall a great concept. read more

When I tell you, Davinci and Yu had my taste buds in a flavor adventure. A mix of Italian dishes mixed with asian influences was simply divine. The cocktails and drinks were like liquid dessert and the food was savory and flavorful! The orange chicken parm and Kung Pao Boa were crispy, fresh, and packed with taste! Would def come back and bring my girlfriends and fun auntie so experience the fun of Davinci and Yu! read more

Very interesting flavor profile. We went for restaurant week and got to try a bunch of different things as a group. Some of the fusions felt a little forced but others were creative and fun. I liked the orange chicken parm. Service was great read more

Food: The baos were good, nothing to write home about. I loved the Uni pasta with the soba noodles. The Wedding Ramen was....interesting. The broth was good and meat was tender but I just don't understand the concept Service: Wait staff was very attentive and nice. HUGE NOTE: CHECK YOUR RECEIPT PRICES! They over charged the Uni Pasta on our bill! The price on the receipt did not match the menu price! So make sure you don't over pay!!!! Ambiance: The vibe inside the restaurant was kind of like a weird fever dream. Like it was INTERESTING. read more

Wow, really enjoyed the Italian/Asian flavor mash-ups. The dishes featured delicious, bright, surprising tantalizing tastes that were complementary and well blended despite feeling shockingly new. Starting out with a cocktail, i loved the Thai martini- it had lightly sweet ginger flavors tempered with a salty finish that was very enjoyable. We had the Caprese fresh rolls (wrapped in fresh basil leaves), and brisket bao as appetizers- all amazing! The brisket bao was particularly sensational, with flavors of horseradish and cole slaw. As my main dish, I liked the Cacio e pepe e miso- the nori somehow gave it a wonderful fine-grit shellfish flavor that was subtle but spectacular. My wife's grilled fish was cooked perfectly, and was very good, though not as unique as the other dishes. We topped off the evening by sharing an ube tiramisu. The room is also very nice with wall murals. Service was friendly and good, though we had to ask for individual plates for our appetizers, and the decaf espresso wasn't actually prepared as an espresso. All in all, I thought this was a spectacular dining experience. read more

This was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever had. The cod dumplings were not fresh and difficult to eat. The concept of Italian Asian fusion seemed interesting but I am unconvinced. Forget good, nothing was palatable. My party actually left hungry and ended up sick after. Would not come back and would honestly warn anyone else to steer clear. read more

Excellent brunch. I had the veggie scramble with chow mein noodles shiitake mushrooms and long hots. Really good. Brisket was buttery soft

Saw this restaurant on "FYI Philly" (we live in the Lehigh Valley)....we were going to Philly to see a play and decided to eat dinner here. everyone from the hostess to the bartender to the waitress were attentive and personable. the food was very interesting and very good! and the prices were very reasonable. we will be back! read more

We were a little skeptical about the combination of Italian Asian fusion before we actually got to the restaurant, however, our opinion completely changed when we tasted the food and found it to be really interesting and delicious. From the new Happy Hour menu, we ordered one of the pizzas, peanut noodles and nachos. We loved all of them. There were four of us and there was plenty of food for all of us to enjoy. The mains that we ordered were the brisket and the Italian Asian Wedding Ramen soup and Wagyu Smash Burger. All very flavorful, exciting to eat and delicious. The decor is colorful and fun and it had a few unique seating areas. The entire staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Our waitress was exceptional on helping us decide what to order. We definitely will recommend this unique restaurant to our friends and plan to return. read more

DaVinci & Yu - Espresso Martini - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This was one of the worst meals I've had. My party and I were extremely disappointed with the food. I ordered kung pao bao and the chicken was very dry and bland. For entree I had the adobo stinco which was also very bland. Although the meat did fall off the bone but there was no flavor to the meat and some parts were a little dry. My friend ordered Italian-Asian wedding ramen and we thought it was a joke. There was no shrimp dumplings, the wagyu meatballs were burnt black and so dry, and the shaved brisket was so dry and burnt that even after sitting in the broth for however long, it was still crunchy because of how burnt it was. For dessert I got the tofu flan and the tofu was not smooth. Overall, not only was the food not well prepared, but the flavors weren't there. This is not a true Italian-Asian fusion. Beyond disappointed read more

Very interesting! The arancini-crispy rice and Kung Pao Bao were favorites. Eggplant pizza is more like a flatbread but delicious. Cocktails featured Japanese whiskey and yuzu as well as limoncello and Prosecco. Service was attentive (thanks, Jamie!). Could upgrade glassware to glass to go with the more upscale vibe. Overall, worth checking out! read more

The concept of this place is very interesting being asian Italian fusion. The fusion was definitely there and the dishes were very unique. I went opening weekend and it seemed like they were still working out some of the recipes - a bit bland. The desserts however were great. Unique asian twists on classic Italian staples. The service was also very friendly. read more

Top 5 worst meals of my life. The food, especially the fish, is not fresh. I almost spit out the cod dumplings. The menu is really tragic. I don't think the owner ever tasted these dishes before serving to customers. The pastas were the most edible but still not good. The service was also bad but compared to the food, it's not worth complaining about. Our waitress gave us one glass of water to split between two people. I'm genuinely confused by this restaurant. read more

fantastic food & service! best atmosphere in philly. love it - will come back often! Chef Marc has done it again - bravo!
