Villa Da Vinci Restaurant

I ordered reef N beef medium rare, and I resive very.very rere, and I thought we should call some vet personnel. Maybe they would save the Cow (so disappointed)
And answer from the kitchen chef: Ohh well, I cooked like thet, like it or not!

Ordered two pizzas and garlic bread and it was disgusting. It tasted like frozen supermarket pizza that they’ve chucked into the wood fire oven. The garlic bread was soggy and tasteless. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone, spent $50 to have to throw it out and go buy something else. Very disappointed.

I don't understand all the great reviews. We ordered the barramundi special and prawn and scallop pasta. Both were so bland and tasteless. I wiped the table down after I was finished with my meal and noticed immediately the dirt that came off the table. Floor needed a vacuum and it's not like there was anyone before us as we walked ina s soon as it was open. Do better.

I dont know what happened with this restaurant but the quality of the food have gone really bad, we have ordered take away lasagna and scalloping fungi (i have had chicken instead veal), lasagna does not tastes any better than the one from Coles or Woolworths), chicken was way overcooked it was not edible! We used to go in this restaurant quite a bit but like a mention earlier in the review the quality of the food is really bad!

Dissapointed AGAIN with the lack of care taken for take away meals. This used to be a favourite of mine and now, it leaves a lot to be desired. My sons meal was great, his wife's meal was average and mine and hubby's was almost inedible.

Our meals were not up to standard dry piece of steak for my husband my prawn dish was not very tasty friends meal was not very tasty also very disappointed

Don't book on Wednesday service very slow. Was not busy at all. Had to wait ages for our meal. Then ordered 1 desert had to ask after waiting and watching staff making their drinks and drinking behind the counter.

Very very disappointing. Have eaten here before but the food has certainly gone downhill. Bland Spaghetti Pescatora (2 prawns carefully counted), no flavour of any sort - I doubt it even had garlic in it. Likewise the Seafood Risotto (again 2 prawns), and very bland.
The ambiance has totally disappeared as well. I'm not sure what has happened here but I won't be hurrying back. As I said at first.very very disappointing.

Great food, huge serving sizes.
Edit, 4 years later. Went with group of 18.10 of us ordered steak but all steaks poor. Noone could finish their steak. We spoke to chef but he seemed not to care. Very disappointing. Sometimes cooking process can go awry or quality of product can be low but restaurant needs to own it. We had 10 disappointed customers and restaurant didn't care. Unlikely to return.

Really not authentic Italian, go to pasta cup or dominos. The quality you're paying for now a days is just not up to what it used to be.

The fettucine carbonara was like stir fry noodles, and they put spring onions in it too, so it just doesn't taste like an authentic Italian carbonara.

The pizzas tasted very store bought, doesn't have that puffy thin crunch that stone-oven usually gives on pizza, this is average at best.

I'm surprised there was no wine on the menu aswell, for the price you're paying, it would be nice to end with wine.

Service was good. Only thing that's good really.

I have been dining at this restaurant with family and friends for years and over the last 12 months it has been getting worse every time. The service is appalling, the wait time for the meals to come out is approximately 45 mins and never are they served at the same time as everyone else on the table. I can't even say the food was fantastic anymore. Very disappointing.

Pros.good food.
My hubby, toddler and myself went for an early dinner here at 5pm last week (13th Jan) the sign said Open. We were asked where wed like to sit, i told the waitress id like to seat outside but in a shady area, another elderly asian lady came over and actually snapped at us saying we came early and the area wasnt cleaned.
She was very rude and I politely said we would sit somewhere else.
It was only after we ordered about 100$ worth of food that she was more pleasant.
I was not happy being treated this way.

Popped in around 5pm on a Wednesday without a booking for a coffee (not food). 3 people 3 coffees. We were treated second class and put on an unprepared table, had to ask for complimentary water from the waitress who was setting them down on empty tables. Place was empty except for a couple with a toddler. 2 coffees and an iced coffe3 took 25 minutes and the coffees were only just luke warm. Only positive was the managers service when asked to remake the coffees and came back in a reasonable time frame with warm and better tasting coffee. Such a shame for a place that used to be known for its food and service and the pleasant setting overlooking the park and lake.

Oysters where off and smelt so bad got a crook stomach told the chef they where off and he denied it saying there from the freezer from yesterday

Nice staff and atmosphere is fine but the food is very much quantity over quality. Salt use was over the top. Enjoyed the calamari.

Will not be going back, under new management, food much to be desired. Supported this restaurant for many years, but never again! Management need to know how to talk with customers. Very rude!

This should be a solid 3 stars + a few decimals. The food quality is subpar. You can see it will not be very good when the pasta dishes are that basic (they're the kind of dishes an exchange student in his early 20's). I asked for a risotto - which the menu states is made with arborio rice, but I'm certain it was a long grain rice.
It has a nice outside area, that unfortunately we couldn't use as the restaurant had that area fully booked. Sorry for the bad review, but you need to up your game if you want to charge 30 dollars per serving.

Went there for Dinner on Sunday Evening & were greeted well & taken to our table & very nice young man took our order & the food came in promptly.
There was a young girl who we asked if we could get some Tabasco & she said that they dont have any.
There was an elderly lady whom we asked for the same & she had a smile & brought us the Tabasco in a small bowl.
Felt disappointed & let down by this sort of behaviour & will think twice to go there again. There is no need for me to give any advise, however the owners need to look into this kind of behaviour if the small business need s to thrive &

Aside from the pizza base under being black in parts the food was great. Its easy to understand why they are busy its because they have great food. Thanks for an enjoyable night out. Service great, Food great, simple.its 5 stars from me)

Delicious food, great playlist, wonderful team and awesome service (especially from Tina). Love the chilli mussels and GF free pizza.
