Everyone liked their food, and the prices were reasonable. I initially order chicken picatta; my wife asked if I could have veal picatta instead. The cook made it and the dish was excellent. The sauce was not too creamy, and there were ample capers and mushrooms. The Italian Wedding soup was good. The facility was interesting with a industrial feel with classic mopeds, motorcycles, and bicycles around the space. It is youth friendly and low key. We visited the restaurant due to a friend's referral, and were pleased with the restaurant. read more

We had an event here and the service was excellent! The wait staff was very accommodating and the food was delicious!

In town for a sporting event and stopped in to grab a bite. My partner had the meatball sub. The meatballs were horrible and the sauce was from a can! If you call yourself an Italian restaurant and dare to name yourself DaVinci you should live up to the name. I had their "panini" which was 2 pieces of buttered toast with 3 slices of store bought ham, tomato and cheese. It's an embarrassment to the word panini. Our waitress was nice. If you don't know anything about good food then this is the place for you. read more

DaVinci's Eatery - Panini sandwich. Terrible! Not even a panini and this is ham that you buy at grocery store - Italian Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

We have been to this restaurant a number of time and never had a bad meal. They will even make you your favorite meal even if it is not on the menu. The service is outstanding, and the management see to it that you have a great time. Thank You from Bob and Vicki. read more

Passed the place we were originally going to eat at, didn't want to turn around, so we stopped to check it out. Eatery is located in an old mill building, the parking is across the way, down the one way Mill St. Pizza lunch buffet!!! Currently a check in $2 off pizza buffet 3/2017. It's a pretty neat set-up they have. Huge space inside with a bar area in the back, buffet in the middle, gelato/dessert case and specialty drinks off to the side. Interior is industrial, not too off the mark for a mill building, but warm and the booth tables were intimately separated by a privacy wall. It has some cool touches inside, motorcycles hanging from the walls. Definitely a place for friends and family. There's even a semi separated area for large parties. We went about 11:30am and it wasn't too busy, but it did start filling up not too much later. Our waitress was friendly and explained what the buffet entailed. She was attentive and pleasant. Very good salad bar, not too many random fixings, but a nice mix. Two soups to try from today. Standard: cheese, pepperoni, & dessert pizzas, there're two additional chef's choice pizzas during the 11am-2pm hrs. The pizza was good, not too thin, not too doughy, sauce didn't stand out, but overall the pizza was tasty. The slices are half the size of regular slices, but that's to be expected... better able to sample all the varieties of pizza! Great new find (for me!) and I'm sure a local fave. read more

Place is huge! No waiting. Sat at the bar. Sean was a great bartender making us feel at home. Gluten-free Ixnay beer was awesome. Had the pizza which was a bit undercooked in the middle but tasted good anyway. read more

We went to DaVinci's to celebrate my mom getting a new job! It was the perfect place to sit and relax with 6 people and not have to worry about being rushed out as soon as we are finished eating. First I will say the service was slow, but the food is excellent. We especially love the eggplant parmesan and the garlic knots. The garlic knots are endless so get as many as you would like. The pizza leaves a little to be desired so stick with the entrees. Overall not a bad place for a larger party. read more

The food was fabulous but what made it better was our wonderful server Sierra M! She was attentive, bubbly, and always had a smile on her face! She made our meal and was a treasure, quite honestly one of the best servers I have ever had! Amazing girl's lunch with an amazing server! read more

Waited a hour and a half for food. They messed up two of our orders and it took so long to fix one of them that they gave it to us as takeout instead. Super overpriced for awful food. Rather eat McDonald's then DaVinci's . read more

DaVinci's Eatery - Our 25$ takeout meal. I cooked like this when I was 7... - Italian Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

Excellent food, service and value for your money. Drinks are generous and facility is clean/sanitized.

Enjoyed delicious dinner of Chicken Saltembocca. Large portion. Garlic rolls were wonderful. Shared a chicken (pitcher) of red Sangria. Lemon cake was good but not special. Service was quick. Closing is at 8 PM during the week and without a reservation there is a wait. Background noise is loud and energetic. read more

Garlic knots. That's it. That's all you need to know about DaVinci's. They are that good. Okay, okay. But really. I came here with a group of 10 a few weeks ago, and they were so incredibly nice and accommodating for us, it was some of the best customer service I've had in a while! Some of the party went for the unlimited soup, salad and pizza bar and everything looked delicious that they brought back to the table. I went for the Storehouse #2 which sounded amazing on the menu. I was unfortunately disappointed as it didn't seem to have any of the marinated tomato, smoked Gouda, garlic aioli or even the red onion as it advertised. It tasted like fried eggplant smothered in tartar sauce. Had I not been with colleagues, I probably would have sent it back. But I managed to pick around it and eat my fries that were thankfully very good. I seemed to be the only one who didn't love their food, so maybe it was just a mishap. I'm not going to hold it against them as everything else was wonderful. I had a bite of a cannoli which was hands down, the best I've ever tasted. I definitely will be back to try some more of their menu as I had a hard time choosing what to order- I just happened to make the wrong choice that day! read more

Dear Yelp and Davinci's restaurant, Please remove your restaurant as dog friendly when searching on Yelp as it is deceiving as your restaurant is top of the list when searching "dog friendly restaurants"... their staff was quite nice as they did try to seat us, and we understand restaurant regulations, however it was a 90 degree plus day and there was no one seating outside. They did not take any special exceptions for their customer. read more

Fantastic food and fantastic service! Doesn't get much better than good authentic tasting Italian food!

Randomly stopped by this place on my way through. Food was AMAZING, server was just as good, atmosphere was a tasteful combo of industrial and hipster with a touch of history . I had the chicken masala (delish) and tiramisu (meh). The atmosphere, dinner, and service made up for the meh tiramisu. I would for sure go back. read more

It was Valentines Day and our family of four chose DaVinci based on recommendations, what a waste of time and money. We went to the bar while waiting for our table and a bunch of us guests waited easy 20 minutes before we could get our first drink order in. One bartender only filled orders from wait staff and never uttered a word to guests or the other bartender that guest were waiting, the other bartender was busy replenishing ice, empty the dishwasher, sorting the tabs, chatting it up with some friends...somehow it all has to get done but guests first, right? Not here. Then the food...first we waited a good 30-40 minutes for our food after ordering and then when it arrived it was lukewarm at best. To top it off my daughter ordered house ravioli and it was absolutely disgusting, it tasted so sweet, as if they poured maple syrup in the sauce, it was more like a dessert, yuk! We never said anything to the waitress who was very attentive and nice and working hard on a busy evening. But DaVinci has some work to do in different departments... read more

I really want to like da Vinci's because in the LA area there aren't many great options. Despite trying a few times, I have yet to have a single good experience here. I went with my family last week for a Sunday dinner. There were 3 of us and a baby. Told there would be a 20 minute wait. After 40 minutes we asked how much longer and were told our table was ready now. While we were waiting we sat outside on the benches by the patio. There were 4 tables that were cleared and sanitized in the time we sat there and were never seated. After finally sitting down, we placed our drink order. Great Sauvignon blanc! The table next to us was seated after us and got their drinks first. We ordered our meals and continued sipping our drinks (spoiler alert they're never refilled!). The table next to us got their salads which looked delicious. At this point our stomachs were growling! Then the table next to us got their entrees. We flagged down our waitress to ask the status of our salads. She held up a finger to wait but never came over. A little while later our entrees came out. We said we had never gotten our salads. Our waitress said "oops, my bad, must have slipped my mind" and served our entrees. I said that I wanted the salads removed from the price of our meals because we weren't going to wait at that point. She said of course and walked away. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca and I'm pretty sure it was either reheated or had been under a heat lamp for a while. It was inedible and gross. The rest of the table had a few bites and we asked for the check. The check arrived with our upcharged Caesar salads still on it! We pointed this out and our waitress told us we had ordered them so she had to charge us, and did we want to take them to go? At that point we just wanted to leave. As a former waitress myself I have a hard time leaving no tip, but this girl got no tip from us! Terrible service, worse food. We certainly won't be back. Cook at home on sundays and go to fishbones if you want a great meal!!! read more

Best Italian food in the L/A area. Pasta, pizza, garlic knots Always fresh and delicious. Last visit I was told a 20 minute wait time and we were seated in less than 10. Above and beyond service with great food as well! read more

Always a good meal when we come here. You can't go wrong with the garlic knots. Their pizza is also exceptional.

Had to ask for garlic knots.. They tasted bad anyway. Veal was too tough. No soup was provided. Forgot that i ordered it as it came with meal. Too much pasta mixed in. Parking signs all over place that says no parking. read more

New to the city & saw great reviews on here so we decided to give it a shot! Really great vibes, we were dressed casual from being out all day but you could dress it up some for a special occasion. It took a few minutes to get things started once at our table but the waitress, food & drinks made up for it quickly! We had the mild wings-super juicy & meaty, rolls (to die for with the oil & parmesan cheese), Seafood Pomodoro-amazing flavoring, chicken Alfredo w/chicken-awesome sauce! Really enjoyed the 'city life' without having to go into a busy city to get there! Can't wait to go back for drinks/happy hour :) read more

ambiance is awesome, food is very good, great service. no complaints, i've been coming here for years and it's always a great experience.

Great good and service! Love that they have a nice draft beer selection as well. The garlic knots are amazing!! read more

Food-- yummy. Service-- awful. Every time I come in here, and I don't know why I ever went back, I wait over an hour to get a table, then wait forever to get a waiter to even look at us. They have just about the slowest service around. They give you garlic knots to distract you from the horrendous service. The food is pretty good once you finally receive it. It's definitely over priced for what it is though. Pizza is mediocre and some pasta dishes are good. read more

I'm always happy with my meal here. The staff is friendly, the owner is kind and the food is fresh. The garlic knots are amazing and the salad is always fresh. I love the pizza and salad buffet! read more

Great atmosphere and food! I went with some friends on a Friday night and the place was packed! We waited about 20-minutes and decided to take a high top in the bar. Kate, out wait person, was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave us the interesting history of the building and how they use to make George Washington blankets in its previous use. I had the seafood pomodorro and it was amazing. Great selection of seafood and the sauce was perfect. Their complimentary house bread selection was a perfect tool for sponging up all of the sauce. I'm definitely going back!!! read more

Ordered takeout on a Monday night and 45 minutes later, after driving through a rain storm, I was told "it's going to be awhile. Our kitchen is backed up." Really??? What kind of restaurant makes that as an excuse. That's just lame. Probably would have taken 2 hours to get my meal. I wouldn't even go here for sit down. Lots of uncleared plates on tables. People waiting at the entrance of the restaurant for their orders. Waitresses and hostesses standing around doing nothing. I have eaten here before and the food is good but not worth a 2 h wait. I ordered Panera pickup, drove there in 5 minutes, and it was ready and delicious!!! read more

Service was impressively slow. Waited 15 minutes for them to take a drink order. The waiter tan off as soon as he did, but we were ready to order food as well. Another 15 minutes and we got our drinks, but the waiter said he'd be right back to take our food order. He was not. Eventually placed the food order and eventually got our food. My portobello and steak ravioli was actually quite good. My wife's scallop penne Milano was too salty and include a nice hair. We just removed the section of food neat by, knowing the wait for a new dish would keep us out past our bedtime. Never got bread either, but why would we? read more

We moved to Auburn a couple of years ago and appreciate DaVinci's as one of the better restaurants in the L.A. area. Positives - very nice inside and outside dining atmosphere, good food and pleasant, attentive service. Negatives - we wish they'd offer more healthy options, they skimp on pizza toppings (esp. veggies, even if you pay for extra), and the takeout food quality and portions are not as good as that received when dining in the restaurant. We've given them direct, constructive feedback and hope they improve in these areas. read more

Great food and service. A place you can bring your kids to that is priced reasonably. A gem in Lewiston for sure. Love the house wine served in a chicken carafe. read more

It was absolutely delicious! From the Garlic knots on the table, the salad dressing (house made Italian), stuffed mushrooms to my chicken parmigiana. We will be back! read more

Some people would argue this is not authentic Italian. If it's not in Italy, it is really authentic Italian. Long story short, it IS Italian food that sometimes sticks to the roots of Italy while some have a twist or flair to pay homage to the location it sits in. The menu is small to allow for quality ingredients and freshness. The pizzas are always on point, and having a gluten-free option is a must-have. The garlic knots always start the experience off, especially if you absorb some of the wonderfully seasoned olive oil that is served with them. The lemon pistachio ravioli is heaven to your taste bugs while the bruschetta is perfectly balanced with acidity. The shrimp scampi is the perfect portion with the perfect amount of garlic. The staff are always friendly and professional while always willing to make you feel like you're at grandma's house on Sunday for a family meal. All of this is nested inside an old mill adding a ton of character as it was restored to be somewhat modern while still holding onto the rustic roots of the building. Look up, look down, look all around, and spot the many scooters adorning the walls and restaurant. This is a must visit. You won't regret it. Skip the working in floor scale on your way out so you don't get depressed on how much deliciousness you just ate and go back soon for more! read more

Sooo, my husband just happens to make the best red sauce I've ever eaten. Like seriously EVER EATEN. He made some on Wednesday and we ate it for 3 nights in a row knowing we had a date to get together with friends at an Italian restaurant in Lewiston ME. We arrived at the restaurant a little before 5:00. ( I know, I KNOW). Our party was running late so my husband and I secured an early table for five( seriously, I was surprised they allowed this.) Anyway, we were seated and our server came over and took our drink orders. Grey Goose martini for me and an apple cider/tequila margarita for my husband. My martini was perfect, a thin layer of ice skimmed the top. Then our server brought this basket of garlic knots. Holy shit! They were hot and garlicky in the best way possible. Our friends arrived, they ordered drinks and another basket of those god damn knots arrived. Damn! We didn't order apps as the garlic knots were enough. We all ordered salad with our dinners ( we could have chosen soup or salad) it was a small but enough salad given the large amount of bread we'd consumed. I ordered the Ravioli in sherry/cream sauce with grilled chicken. I had a few bites and loved it. Sadly, I couldn't eat much of it because of my over indulgence of the freaking bread. My husband ordered the Carbonara with locally made sausage. It was fantastic. We skipped dessert. I wanted to try the espresso, but our party was full and ready to leave.Presumably to hit the couch in our pj's at 8:30 pm. read more

Standard Italian American fare. So expect a ton of cheese. Red sauce was under-seasoned, raw-tasting and had an earthiness I didn't care for. Eggplant was very thin, heavily breaded, and almost burned. Meatballs were good. Bread was very good, so I would believe their pizza was good. It was at the high end of $$ as well, almost $$$. I would give them a three, but it was very disappoint and 1/2 of us left hungry. So definitely not 4 stars, even for Lewiston. read more

Everything was absolutely excellent!! Superb & attentive service (our server was delightful), pleasant outdoor seating in the garden - in the shadow of an old mill - (exposed brick, old industrial scale, very cool) tasty Italian dishes (keeping in mind you are in Maine not NYC), variety of wines - all described in delicious detail, several vegetarian menu options, scrumptious desserts & espresso to finish the meal. Well worth the trip! Bonus Extra: Crayons, coloring pages, & play dough for the kids, too! read more

Hmm. I've been to Davinci's zillions of times. I used to think it was classier. Perhaps this was because I never experienced haute cuisine in major cities. Nonetheless, I'm still fairly convinced that Davinci's is not what it used to be, in it's old location, which was more intimate and less... je ne sais pas... gluttonous. For a long time, Davinci's was the nicest restaurant in Lewiston, but now that Fuel and Fishbones have moved in (neither of which I have been to, no matter how much I try when I'm home to get reservations!), well... Our server was excellent - so please know I'm not on the fence about service. It's more the atmosphere and food that are three stars. The new location is just so... large. It feels impersonal and kind of like a cafeteria, or someone's Italian wedding at a banquet hall. I really liked the original location, but I know it was too small for the amt. of service they do. The food is good - it's just very large portions and not very creative. I wasn't impressed with the smudgy plates, either (dishwashers!). I had the seafood ciopinno, which was three star quality. The muscles and scallops were good but the shrimp was definitely overcooked. I didn't eat more than three fork-twists of the pasta, either, because dinner comes with salad and bread as well. Oh and my family ordered a bunch of appetisers, all of which were decent. The maple sour cream that comes with the bacon-wrapped scallops is outstanding. The bacon wrapped scallops themselves are comme ci comme ca. The other apps we ordered were sausage stuffed mushrooms and baby clams, neither of which I tried. Ehhhhh. I want to like Davinci's more than I do, or at least as much as I used to, but no matter what, I can't give it more than 3 stars. A staple of Lewiston, but Lewiston is quickly changing from a podunk and ghetto outpost of Portland to a suburban/metropolitan small city. read more

Davinci's is a great place for a group outing or a casual date. It has a somewhat chain-y feel, even though to my knowledge it is not a chain. It is definitely a people pleasing restaurant--the food quality is generally good, a variety of choices are presented, and the service is good. If you're a foodie, you're probably not going to be blown away, but you can expect a quality meal at a reasonable price. And the portions are huge! read more

A local favorite, plenty of parking, lots of seating and space for private events. The food is traditional American Italian done well. Huge portions lots of cheese, red sauce and piles of garlic bread knots. Since they have relocated they do offer some lighter options, but it's really known for it heartier options. It is a bit more expensive than other local equivalents,but it's also a more upscale environment. Good for a nice date night, dinner with the parents, or clients. read more
