My sister and her family come here alit but this is my first visit. I was very impressed by the service and food.
The restaurant can get a little noisy... read more as the acoustics aren’t great, especially when it was as busy as last night, but generally the atmosphere was very good.
I’d definitely go back and try the dishes that I was debating over!

  Tasty filling meal (sea bass & pork belly, torte de Nonna dessert). Friendly banter & good knowledgeable recommendations from Laurenti

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

  We did a walk in on a Sunday whilst walking through town. There was 7 of us, service was good. Food was so lovely and much better than the chains... read more opposite. Price was very reasonable with drinks. Will definitely return.

  Nice meal, the foundations for a great restaurant are there. Good food combined with friendly and attentive - but not that knowledgeable - waiting staff. A decent Italian restaurant in... read more Hornchurch, hurrah! I will be back.

A starter of bruschetta was fine, did what it said on the menu. My date declared her calamari the best she has had in years. Light batter and not chewy.

A main of sea bream on spinach was well cooked. Crispy skin and firm, succulent fish. Nicely seasoned with just the right amount of salt and garlic. A side of potatoes in a tomato sauce showed potential, in terms of the sauce that is. In my humble opinion it could be enhanced by sauteeing the spuds first though and making the sauce a little richer through olive oil, herbs and even a touch of worcestershire sauce and sugar(sorry I know this isn't very Italian )

My date's vongole was well received. Al dente pasta (perfect), lots of clams, but a splash more white wine would help balance off the rich garlic essence that ran through it.

Onto dessert. My sticky toffee pudding was awesome. Soft, springy, sweet and rich. Oh yes! Custard was good but a thinner creme anglaise would have smashed it out of the park. My date's toffee apple crumble wasn't so good. Needed more toffee in the appl and crunch in the crumble.

Wine selection was decent and well priced.

The menu isn't extensive but I do think that's a good thing, and they do daily specials (none on when we went though).

  We visited Da Vinci's today for the first time since the change of owners and were really impressed. Giovanni and Veronica were lovely hosts and made us feel very welcome.... read more Our meals were delicious and came out piping hot, you could tell that all the ingredients were freshly sourced. We will definitely be returning and wouldn't hesitate to recommed to anyone.

  We are new to the area, all love Italian food and wanted to celebrate our daughters birthday. The staff were so polite, attentive and professional. The food was faultless, well... read more presented and very tasty. Fabulous atmosphere and can't wait to return. Thank you ☺️

  Once again, fabulous meal! - We took our daughter there for her 22nd birthday on 5th Feb. The only trouble was trying what to decide as the menu is mouth watering! I usually go for... read more the linguine VoIgoli but went for the roast and wasn’t disappointed and was as close to home as you can get. One went for the Special, (Rabbit) which he said was amazing and other daughter is gluten free and she had a tasty Spag Boll. The two others had Lasagne which also looked delicious !!
I’m going to introduce my two oldest friends there on 24Feb for our 60th birthdays which will be even better as has live entertainment !!
Best restaurant in Hornchurch!!

  Ordered a takeaway Sunday evening. Ready when we arrive, though they do do home deliveries I believe. Got it home and it hot piping hot. The Spaghetti meat balls was... read more excellent and my wife steak was just as she likes it. The chips were chunky one as there were so many she could not finish them all. The garlic bread was just as good. All in all an excellent meal for the price. Have had issues in the past however new owner Craig has made us want to return keep up the good work..
