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.

  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.

  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!!

  We booked here to try somewhere different and make the most of the Eat Out to Help Out. We weren't dissapointed!

Lovely buzzing atmosphere and a nice setting. We... read more all had different mains and all thought the food was divine (including a perfectly cooked steak). Certainly good value for money, especially with the deal.

The only thing I would say is the service was a little slow - we waited 45 minutes for our dessert to come (3 slices of cake) and had to chase a couple of times. However all the staff were very friendly and you could see they were rushed off their feet during such a busy period which was no doubt caused by the Eat Out scheme.

A really nice place to go for a chilled evening with great food if you're not in any hurry.

Will certainly be back!
