Nice authentic feel inside, very tasty food and good service especially the young girl greeting customers, so happy and friendly.
We will return.

  This is one of our regular and favourite restaurants to visit not just in our hometown of Hornchurch but in the whole of Essex. We always enjoy great food from... read more chef / owner Craig as well as excellent service from manager Giovanni. But I have to say that our latest visit on sunday was easily one of the best.

We arrived to the usual friendly welcome from Giovanni before being seated at our table. We ordered an aperitif to give us a chance to look at the menu. It was when Giovanni came back not only with our drinks but also the specials that we would be in for a little surprise. Unknown to us Craig offered us an opportunity to have a charcuterie board and a beef carpaccio as starter options to which we gladly accepted. We then ordered a bottle of Montepulciano D’Abruzzo to pair with the food.

So now to those starters of a Charcuterie Board and Beef Carpaccio which were both absolutely fabulous. The carpaccio was accompanied with mushrooms , nuts & parmesan while alongside the fabulous selection of meats were olives , sun dried tomatoes , stuffed pepper , burrata & salad. To be honest every mouthful was an absolute delight.

After a nice little break it was time for the main course where my wife enjoyed her favourite Spaghetti Vongole. For myself I was in for a real treat as from the specials board I chose the Braised Beef with broccoli & creamy mash that was absolutely fantastic and without doubt one of the best dishes ever eaten at Da Vinci’s.

Now it was time for desserts where from the specials my wife chose the Cherry & Almond Bomb whereas I had the classic Tiramisu. Accompanying these Craig sent out a heavenly Lemon & Lime Posset.

We finished with a coffee to bring a fabulous lunch to an end. The food created by Craig was amazing and the service was nothing more than you expect from Giovanni and his team. This really is a restaurant that I would recommend and is also a great credit not only to my hometown of Hornchurch but to the county of Essex as well. When we asked for the bill a complimentary glass of bailey’s and port were sent to our table as a final delightful personal touch.

Thank You Craig & Giovanni for an excellent lunch and look forward to many more visits in the future.

  We had a delicious and very reasonably priced meal here, we would highly recommend and definitely worth trying and bypassing the local chain restaurants. Delicious Italian food served well with... read more excellent service.

  Tasty food - Fantastic authentic family run restaurant. They do cocktails, extensive menu and specials. What makes this is the entertainment while eating. Such a treat to find. Definitely recommended

  We enjoyed our starter, but were both unhappy with our mains, mine was a trio of mediteranian veg, but only included 2 of the 3 veg listed on the menu.... read more He went for a lasagne thinking it was a safe bet being Italian but found it covered in too much sickly cheese sauce. When I asked about my main with the veg, I was told there’s a small bit in the middle - there wasn’t!

It was rubbish! It’s not cheap but tastes cheap!

Don’t eat here if you’re looking for a nice night out!
