"I see many people really highly rating this place, and of course, that is fine, but I can only relay to you MY experience here. Based on the reviews here, I wish I had the experience here that others had. First, this place is so...far from great, it's not even funny. It's certainly not horrible, but overall, our experience here was average (and I think that's being generous). Two of us came here for an early dinner, so we had no problem getting a table, it was not busy. I ordered a salmon pasta, which was decent. It was good, not great. But before I ordered the pasta, I ordered a minestrone soup and I sure wished that I didn't. It was, by far, the worst minestrone soup I have ever had. It was nothing more than semi-warm water with a meager sprinkling of very crunchy vegetables in it. It was very bland and tasted as if it was hardly cooked at all. Tinned soup tastes better, sincerely. So, between my salmon pasta (which was decent) and the alleged minestrone soup, the food quality of my dinner was average, at best. The person eating dinner with me ordered a lasagna and it was delicious! She was very pleased with it and thankfully she could not eat it all, so I had about bites of it and it was wonderful. The lasagna, which I didn't even order, was the best part about this restaurant. As bad as my alleged minestrone soup was, that was not the worst part of our experience. The service was the worst. It's not so much that the service was bad, per se, it's just that it was VERY slow. It took at least minutes just to bring out bottled water, another minutes to bring out bread, and at least another minutes to bring out dinner. Mind you, it was not busy, it was about and we ordered everything all at the same time (so really, our mains/entrees took about mins). The service was friendly, but very slow. I should really have counted my blessings though because there was another couple who sat down at a table two tables away from ours not even minutes after we arrived, and by the time that we finished dinner and left, they still did not have their dinner served to them (yes, they ordered because we heard them order). They were quite visibly angry with the sloth-like service, and they well should have been. That was their experience and again, I can only review what I experienced, but part of my experience is also what I saw, and seeing is believing. If it weren't for the VERY slow service and the wretched minestrone soup then I would have rated this place a out of but bath-water soup and very slow service will kill a review every time. out of I think, for our experience is bequeathing an early Christmas gift. Would I go to Da Vinci again? No. Their lasagna was delicious, so fair play, but you can find delicious lasagna in MANY places and you can find better minestrone soup anywhere, including in a tin upon supermarket shelf."
