Nice place, good service, delicious food, friendly price, perfect location š
Had a wonderful experience for team lunch yesterday. Food was amazing all ten of us couldnāt fault a thing. Highly recommend for delicious Italian food.
I looooveee this place! Had the best pasta from this place and the staff are so welcoming. Had the best service from them. The humble owner was also very friendly and fun to talk to! Would recommend this place for pasta to all my friends. I really enjoyed my dining experiences here. This place deserves a much higher rating!
My first and not my last ever gnocchi and damn it's heavenly. It's rich and melts in your mouth. A pasta dish fit for a cheese and pesto lover š¤¤ Pizza bread don't understand how a simple dish can be done so well. Packed with garlic flavors!
I'm giving this place a straight 3 because it is genuinely a mixed bag and then another 0.5 because I will be back regularly over the years due to it's proximity to my work and it being a common choice for my workmates to have lunch at. Service is very friendly. Prices are a bit costly for what you get. Pizza dough is cooked to perfection. Pizza topping combinations could be picked better. Pasta is fabulous. Food quality is overall good but nothing amazing - it's acceptable for casual dining at lunch. Music choice doesnāt quite match the setting (rap and pop). Decor is nice.
Great food, great service. The chicken and mushroom fettuccine was so full of flavor. I loved my cannelloni beef, was so light and tasty. Pity about the weird chose of music. Tiramisu to die for. We will be back.
We had a quick lunch Tuesday afternoon. Excellent service from the waitress! The food was delicious, especially the 3 cheese bread on the entree menu. We ordered from their normal menu but have fantastic lunch time specials. Would definitely recommend.
Went in for lunch. They do staples pretty well, Iām guessing. Garlic bread was good, chicken risotto wasnāt a gloopy, sticky mess. Was tasty enough. Good for a dine and dash. Service was wonderful, which appears to be a general trend in Auckland.
Had fettuccini carbonara pasta with chicken and tiramisu as dessert. Portion is just right and the dish tasted good. Service from the lovely waitress was superb- quick and friendly. Enjoyed my experience here, will come back for more.
Food was amazing! I had the chicken risotto & Quattro pizza - the base of the pizza was the best! Service was great! Happy hour also great! Will be back definitely
Nice little place. Great value for money. Food was served up quick once we placed our order. Just felt our pizzas were a bit tasteless. However I'd like to go back for the steak, pasta or desserts. What was coming out from the kitchen looked really good.
We had a margherita pizza and the base is the best we've had! The staff were friendly and warm. The menu is reasonably priced (great value for pizzas, actually).
This review is only based on one dish as I found this place because I wanted to eat some Spaghetti Bolognese at the city. This place has the cheapest Spaghetti Bolognese in the whole city with decent portion size. Other places in the city offer same or smaller portion size at a higher price and they don't taste any different. Now the other restaurants mentioned are also within a reasonable walking distance from the Aotea centre, so there may be better places outside the city but this review concerns the options in the city and are within reasonable walking distance.

I'm so glad I found a reasonably priced place to satisfy my pasta cravings! Came here on Sunday for lunch with my friend and absolutely would return. I got the vegetarian gnocchi with mushrooms and pesto; I thought it was good, but wished it had more mushrooms and would've been great if there was meat to it; which you can add, for an additional $3.5! My friend had the carbonara, which I had a taste of and also approved!
The waitress who served us was friendly and prompt, and she also came to check on how our food went.
The ambience was alright, it has a traditional Italian design filled with red drapes and dark tones. There weren't a lot of customers either, so if you're looking for a place that isn't bustling and super busy, this is the place to be.
The cutlery and utensils were generally clean, apart from the fact that there were a lot of flies around the restaurant.
But overall, I'd give it a good rating because I actually enjoyed my meal and time there. Will definitely return :) if you're looking for a reasonable place to satisfy your pasta cravings, I'd recommend coming here. Plus, it has a very date-like vibe, without it being costly.
Great service in this restaurant on Albert Street! I have now been 2x and enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food! I recommend the garlic prawns for starters! I ordered steak for a main - didn't quite cook it enough for my liking but the meal was yummy and well presented. I got my meal with a voucher and was pleased with the overall cost - not sure I would have paid full price.
Friendly staff and yummy pizzas (even for vegetarians). What more could you ask for? Happy hour with deals on good wine, beer and cocktails? Yup they got that too.
We loved it there. Just one little negative... The pizza with brie didn't have brie on it... Weren't able to see our taste that cheese, just mozzarella. Therefore not a perfect score this time. But we'll be coming back for more. No worries.
Love the pizzas, it's chewy instead of crunchy. Try the mussels and three cheese bread entrƩe! The Penne Salmon is really tasty and in good portion too. I would not suggest the Spaghetti Marinara as its a bit bland compared to other restaurants.
I previously came here with a friend of mine and we absolutely loved the food.
The service was really nice, and the food was really good too.
And the price is a total bonus
Perfect place for an Italian lunch!
Their express menu offers meals under $15.I usually go for a pasta which are all so, so good from what I've tried so far. I have been here many times and my favourite would have to be the fettuccine Noci, the chicken can sometimes be a little overcooked though.Ā
Service is really great too, nice and friendly staff!Ā
I have yet to try dinner here also.
Went there for lunch yesterday- glad I did the service was excellent and our waiter/s were very welcoming and lovely. Our dishes were delicious can't complain! They have a variety of things on the menu it's so hard to choose from! Will definitely recommend for anyone looking for a valued meal/cheap eats!
This was the first Da Vinci branch I've been to. It looks quite intimidating from outside since the place looked quite fancy and you would not believe the "$10 lunch special" sign posted outside. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. They have a fee per table but if you're nice to them they'll waive it off. I find their pasta with white sauces a bit too creamy but i definitely like their bolognese. Tiramisu was a bit average though ZomatoStudents
I frequently come here for their $10 lunch specials. The staff here are very lovely and welcoming, service is great and food is very authentic! The prices are also great for the portion sizes you get.
The pasta meals are quite small for the price, but nice flavours. Had the salmon penne, was really nice, just needed more of it. Others at the table enjoyed their meal. Pizza's are a good size for 1 person.
Nice staff, good service.
Went here last night for my daughter's birthday. Very quiet place which is different for me. Our garlic bread entree was ok but I couldn't taste the garlic. We received our meals quickly and the staff were friendly. The meals were quite small though so I left hungry but my agnello was cooked perfectly. I had a taste of the gnocchi and spag bol too they were nice.
The atmosphere here isn't the best; quite dull and it was very quiet with not many people so it felt a bit awkward just having a conversation without everyone being able to hear.
But the menu is very extensive and particularly good as a vegetarian. The best mashed potatoes I have ever had and I'm not even a huge fan of mashed potatoes. Reasonably priced too.
My son and I had lunch here yesterday. Fabulous friendly service, beautiful place. My son got seafood pizza, I got bacon cabonara. Both meals were to our liking, just right :-)
I had a really great dinner here last night with 4 others. I had chicken parmigiana which was very tasty and tender. Everyone else had steak meals which they really enjoyed too. Tiramisu and chocolate cake for dessert was a nice way to end the meal and the coffee very good as well. Service here was excellent from the time we walked in, very friendly and attentive. Look forward to returning.
Love this place. On my Fiance and I's weekend away in Auckland, we came across this lovely little restaurant. We ordered the Parmese Pizza & Chicken Tortellini which were both filling, delicious and priced well. The staff were polite and accommodating lovely Italian people. When we arrived home from our weekend away my partner wanted more Chicken Tortellini. If only there was another Da Vinci's in the Lower North Island. Many thanks
Beckoned by the "$10 Lunch Menu", a friend and I had lunch here the other day. After reviewing the extensive menu, we both ordered pizzas with mine being the Italiano and hers the Quattro Stagioni. The Italiano was described as being the ultimate meat lovers pizza, but sadly, it was lacking much meat. It was well cooked, on a thin (but not crisp) base, but I felt it lacked both meat and seasoning. The Quattro was a big hit however. As far as pizzas go, I much preferred these to the greasey take-out varieties. The service was attentive and the decor and feel of the restaurant modern. I'll definitely be back.

My partner and I dined at Da Vinci's Albert St last night. In the past we have dined at the first Da Vincis City Road and that was an experience we thought deserved a 'second helping' and since the second branch opened around the corner from my home, we thought that we would give it a try. Upon arrival we noticed that the new branch had a more lively, urban and fresh atmosphere, but still with a classic twist with the beautiful warm lighting and portraits. Impressive combinations! We ordered chicken liver pate as entree, which came with lightly toasted bread and tasted fabulous!
For mains we ordered a Da Vinci pizza and an Eye fillet with mushroom sauce. Both dishes were cooked perfectly to how we ordered and we were both immensely full. However we needed one more thing to be satisfied.. and that was to have ourself a helping of their desserts that we couldn't stop talking about after having them when we visited the other Da Vinci's. And as expected, the tiramisu and the orange creme caramel that we ordered were both consistently delectable and both fresh with that melt in your mouth feeling. YUM!!!
Overall, it was again an enjoyable experience, where the staff are friendly and everything is reasonably priced, particularly in the central city leaving you satisfied.
One last comment. Do no pass on the Desserts!
The place is casual and cozy inside.
Great selection of wines and beers.
Beautifully made dishes. My risotto was superb.
Desserts were delectable but not overly sweet.
Would definitely recommend.
The best Italian restaurant in Auckland. Great service, delicious food and fair price.
The pasta was great, the sauce was unique and the Tiramissu was the best I have tasted in my life!
Our first impromptu dinner out in the New Year saw us venture into a very busy and popular Da Vinciās as we had a hankering for Italian food and this restaurant was open for service without reservations being taken.
Fortunately we were immediately seated as we arrived and the ambiance of the restaurant was buzzing with many nationalities and many satisfied smiling patrons. The staff was fantastic and highly attentive from the moment we entered.
For entrees we tried the Three Cheese Pizza bread and the Pumpkin Soup with focaccia and these meals were delicious and the perfect start to the night. Following on, we ordered the Beef Lasagne and Spinach Ricotta Ravioli which were delicious and so flavorsome. I enjoyed an amazing glass of Montepulciano dāAbruzzo.
Our dining experience was exceptional and I look forward to returning back to try other dishes I was deliberating over. Highly recommended!
This restaurant serves mainly pasta and pizza! My friends and I ordered the gnocchi pasta that was recently added to the menu, and a hawaiian pizza.
The pasta was really good, with a taste of garlic and olive oil, and slight spiciness. The gnocchi was nice! Pizza was well-cooked as well.
Do note that still water is charged to your bill, so you may want to check if there are any water thatās free of charge.
I find it a little pricey and portion isnāt too big but the quality made up for it. Overall, a 3.8 star!
Food was good, dessert and beverages good. Service was Scattered but everyone was friendly and food was hot. Portions were right sized as was not over full was just right.
Great service here at Da Vinci's. Been walking past this place for years now and we decided to have a team lunch here. Had the Spaghetti Bolognese and the serving was generous with an authentic taste to it, although a tad bit runny, but it was fine. Will definitely come back here to try other dishes on the menu. The staff were very welcoming and always attentive to our needs as a group.
Very delicious and authentic Italian food! We ate a 3 course meal. Garlic bread, spaghetti bologna and Panna cotta! š
Good food, polite staff and nice atmosphere.
Food was good. Not fancy but an enjoyable meal on the patio. We had the lasagna, which was good but different than you'd expect. Mostly meat vs cheese. Dessert was delicious. Chocolate cake with gelato
Great restaurant in a very centric spot! The food was really good with reasonable prices and a good attention to the customer. It has a nice deck outside perfect for sunny days.
Most authentic italaina pizza I've ever had. Every ingredient was fresh and totally delicious
Awesome place, staff are really nice and best of all food is a great affordable price. Thumbs up š
Great food. Awesome selection and variety. Everyone in our party of 6 enjoyed what they had. The service was fantastic. A good bit of humor thrown in too. Made for an enjoyable evening. Would happily go again.
Best Italian in town. Iām a regular customer for over 4 years. Food and staff are amazing. Salmon Salad is very nice and cooked to perfection.
Iāve tried their pizzas many times and Iāll 100% recommend them. if you are looking for a nice authentic Italian restaurant give it a try and complete your visit with a glass of their Italian wines.
I always come here whenever I crave pasta. But their serving size changed lately, used to be a lotš¤. Service is okay.
Very nice little restaurant. Would go again. Great for families or couples. Classic Italian dishes made well. The owner made us feel very welcome and the waiting staff were warm and unobtrusive.
