Highly recommend this restaurant in Hornchurch. The staff were friendly, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely.

  It was great to be back and support one of my favourite local restaurants Da Vinci’s and enjoy a fabulous lunch. The food from chef/owner Craig is always cooked to... read more a high standard and is matched by good friendly service. We arrived on sunday and received a friendly welcome before being shown to our table. Once seated it was nice of Craig to come over for a quick chat and welcome us back to the restaurant. We then looked at the menus where there was a choice of the main menu , sunday roasts & specials.

Starters. We started with the Calamari and the Gnocchi. With these came a nice surprise from Craig who sent out a complimentary Beef Carpaccio with rocket & parmesan.

Mains We then moved on to our mains which both came from the specials board. The first was a Prawn & Lobster Linguine and the other a Pan Roasted Halibut with a clam veloute. These were two absolutely fabulous dishes. We accompanied the dishes with side orders of spinach and chunky chips.

Desserts
Now it was time to finish with desserts. We chose the Tiramisu and the Torte della Nonna which were both an absolute delight.

We finished with a coffee to bring to an end a fantastic lunch. This is a fabulous local restaurant serving good honest Italian food with friendly service. I would highly recommend if your local to the area to pay them a visit and I for one am looking forward to many more visits in the future.

Thank You Craig for a great lunch and looking forward to seeing you all again soon

  Fast becoming a favourite, second visit and as good as the first . Food is absolutely delicious, service is excellent, couldn’t ask for more Will definitely be back soon

  Da Vinci's is the reincarnation of Osteria Du Frattelli which I was extremely fond of during its glory days! In recent years it went down hill with a change in... read more management & owner but I can fortunately say it is now very much on the up!

Craig, who I believe is the new owner & chief has injected a spark into the restaurant reducing the menu down to a small compact list of classics and a chalk board of a few specials.

When compared with the normal chain Italians in Hornchurch of which they are in abundance this menu comes out swinging and has no similarity to frozen, pre packaged kitchens just over the road. No offence to Wildwood (always great food and consistent) but along with Ask, Prezzo & Zizzi they can feel like a bit for a conveyer belt of food rather than a dining experience.

It is pricier than the chains as unfortunately isn't on the taste card but I think they do midweek offers and you certainly do get what you pay for.

Thank you Craig and the team for bringing back some originality to Hornchurch!

Muchlove

  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 absolutely love this place, tasty food, relaxing environment and friendly staff. Not rushed and very child friendly. Can't wait to visit again when we can. Enjoyed deliveries over lockdown.

  This was our first visit to this restaurant, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I will definitely visit again

  This is the best restaurant I've been to in a very long time. The meal was delicious, the portion size was generous, would have loved to have finished it all,... read more but regrettably couldn't, and very reasonably priced! The service was good and we didn't feel rushed, and matched the atmosphere perfectly, suitable for most occasions; a romantic meal for two, or for the whole family. Nothing was too much to ask for, and even happily catered to our awkward dietary requirements without hesitation. Would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, can't say enough good things about it. Everyone should give it a try. Can't wait to go back!

  We dined here with friends for the first time and had cocktails to start then starters, mains and dessert. Hospitality was great, I had the chicken in breadcrumbs which was... read more beautifully cooked and my friends had pasta dishes which they couldn't fault. The ambience didn't feel rushed, and the limoncello shots were a nice touch. Overall, a great evening here to catch up with friends. Will be back.
