Caffe DaVinci - Columbus, Ohio

Wow... what an amazing find, and how did I miss this restaurant for so long!!! Interesting concept.... They call it "Fast Casual Italian", think of it as similar to a Panera but Italian. Now, the key here is that I spent $44 for two people for dinner, but this food was better than 90% of the sit down Italian restaurants in Columbus. Honestly, I had the lasanga... This was incredible and I will absolutely return. I loved it. The all you can eat, self serve bread bar with Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, and seasonings was outstanding. Truly a great restaurant.

Nice little place, went on a Friday around 5 and they were packed, which must serve as a testament of how good the restaurant is.

As it was my first time there it took a minute to figure out what to do- there is a door at the end of the right side of the building, this door is for pickup, the main door is in the middle/on the corner of the building and once you go in the first door you go into the door on the left. From here you walk back and there’s a menu board, place your order they will give you a number and a cup. The drink machine is around the corner the counter either bread, you pass it when walking back from the ordering area to the dining area. They will bring the food out and take your number when it’s ready.

I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and gnocchi with meat sauce, both were good but when I go back I’ll try something different as there’s a lot on the menu that sounded good!

We love Da Vinci’s for lunch and dinner! Tina’s Salmon Salad is my favorite but everything is delicious. Typically we go at lunch and the staff takes great care of us! The gelato is amazing and you can get a pint to go. Wine and beer offerings too.

Guys this place slaps... And I'm not even a huge fan of Italian restaurants. If you haven't gone - go.

I had the linguini supremo and it was absolutely delicious and exactly what I was craving. I'm not a huge sauce fan because I love tasting the veggies and this did not disappoint! My partner got the lunch special which was 13$ for a salad and a pasta, which he also said was phenomenal. He got lasagna and davinci salad, and it smelled and looked great. The all you can eat bread bar was AMAZING! The bread was soft and delicious on its own, but you could amplify it with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, seasonings, and parmesan cheese. The in-house gelato station was wonderful too, and had the best gelato I've had in Columbus. Highly recommend the donatello gelato.

And the staff! Beyond amazing! You could tell everyone enjoyed their job, and it was likely the best restaurant staff I've had in a long time. (I don't know what you're paying them, but pay them more!) They were incredibly friendly and were on top of everything.

I will be back many times!!!

Loved the food here, can’t wait to go back! Ordered pizza for carry out but the staff realized they forgot to put it in when we arrived. Offered us free gelato as compensation. Super unnecessary but totally appreciated! Highly recommend!

This had to be one of the best places service wise I have ever been! Exceptional attentiveness and kindness. Our waitress even packed up extra bread and sauce for my pasta when I warm up my leftover at home. The food was great, especially the bread!! Will come back for sure and would recommend to anyone!! A GEM.

By far the most amazing Arancini that I’ve ever had and I order it at every restaurant that has it. The staff is so sweet and wonderful. The food comes out really quick. 10/10 would recommend!

Cheers!

My wife and I really enjoyed eating here (7/16/22), and the food was really good. I really wish a 4.5 rating was possible, but a 5-Star rating would not be fair to the restaurants that truly deserve 5-Stars.

It took a few minutes to realize that you have to seat yourselves… and order and pay for your food at the counter… several people came in after us, and got tables and ordered their food ahead of us before someone kindly schooled us to the protocol.

I enjoyed my Blue Cheese Wedge Salad, and Lasagna; and my wife enjoyed her Linguini Supreme, but both entres could have been larger. The Gelato was a nice treat. We will return here again.
