A quick stop-in type of place that quickly became a regular meeting spot for my crew! The food is delicious and priced fairly for this quality and high standard. Love this gathering spot filled with culinary favorites like the Eggplant Parm... I say the best in CBus for that. Crispy on the outside, light and never oily... flavorful in every bite. How am I just writing a review for Caffè DaVinci?!
I had dessert first, lol the raspberry gelato was yummy. I'm so glad that you offer gluten free pasta and sauces and cook it properly! I was really excited that you could make gluten free Alfredo sauce. I haven't had chicken Alfredo in over 10 years! It was so good, I almost licked the plate, lol
Truly the best lasagna and red sauce I’ve ever had the Alfredo was perfect. for you people out there you Have to know it’s a privilege to eat there.
The best eggplant parm I've ever had! Everything I have had is so good. The desserts are excellent classic Tira misu, cannnoli, and of course the Gelato
We've tried several different options, combo plate-large enuff to share, very good
Veal Parmesan - very good
Chicken Parmesan - very good
Calamari - some of the best in Columbus
Plus the free bread w/a couple different oils, and other things to add to the oil.
The pricing is more than fair for all you get. $8-12
Over all a 10.
I totally had a craving for eggplant parmesagna tonight. I hardly ever eat Italian food, unless I want eggplant. This was a yummy cheesy gooey stack with thick well breaded eggplant and a nice marinara. We'll be back!
Food was great! And having hand made gelato for dessert was a nice bonus. Highly recommend it!
Absolutely deelish. The sauce was perfect. It's the best bread I have ever tasted. Dipping it in olive oil and some spices. Yum Yum.
Lasagna and Gelato the best I have ever had.
Great Food!!! Cozy restaurant!! This is turning into our place to bring friends and family when they come to visit!
I was there for the first time yesterday and I liked it! The servers were friendly and the Eggplant Parmesan was absolutely wonderful!! That's my #1 food in life. Lol. I shall return!! The Tiramisu too, was very good!
Great salmon salad! Good service and option for gelato!
Just ate here today with my family. We all loved the food and the gelato. The service was excellent and the employees were so friendly!
Love, Love, Love! Food always beyond delish. Can't wait to come back!�
Great food service was very good . Definitely would go back
The food is awesome. It was my second time. I was introduced to this restaurant when I first came for lunch with friends from work and enjoyed the food so much I brought my husband for dinner.
Simple, quick, crowded, and delicious.. Caffe Davinci is a severely scaled-down version of the Davinci Restaurant that once graced the southeast corner of Henderson & Reed. It seated hundreds and for years drew the business set. After closing it down, the Ciotola family opened a new, smaller (and no doubt more manageable) venue at Trabue & Zollinger and brought a few of their favorite recipes along. They also simplified things greatly: This is a cafe, not a restaurant. You go to the counter to order. You get your own drinks. Seating is limited and a bit cramped. That's ok since the place always seems to be lively, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the moderately priced food is quite good. Not a place to have a leisurely meal, but a classier alternative to chains like Chipotle and Piada -- and Davinci has excellent desserts.
A Favorite. We went for the gelato after moving to Columbus and craving it... but we have kept coming back. It is like visiting family now after 4 years. The food is great. Lasagna, blackened chicken pasta, pasta supreme, salads, pizza (my new favorite is toscana - topped with greens - yum).
The very best thing about this restaurant is the staff. They get to know there patrons. They remember you, ask about you and genuinely care about their customers. It is our go-to place now. We celebrate birthdays, pregnancies, promotions and potty training here. They owner took time out of her busy evening to sing happy birthday to our daughter. I will miss this place so much when we move.
Good food at a good price for Upper Arlington students (6.50 student special) a little pricey otherwise. The food is always tasty and the staff is very very friendly despite what other reviews have said. Overall I'd recommend this place for a good lunch.
Tasty pizza and gelato. I most often go here for pizza, salad, and gelato. The pizza is pretty tasty but the small really is small (the size of a plate). The crust is crispy, the cheese isn't too greasy, and the veggies they put on top are good. The pronto salad is also awesome with fruit, nuts, and cheese. The gelato is THE BEST! The owner really is from Italy and she keeps the flavors simple. My favorite: Hazelnut.
Got it all wrong. If you want to be impressed, get the lasagna. It is the "usual" for me, and its always amazing. the marinara cannot be beat. shrimp scampi is also great. I've tried most items on the menu, but finally learned not to take any more risks here.
Cafe Divinci's ROCKS!. An amazing place for Italian food! I have visited two times in the same week and can't wait to return. The eggplant parm with meat sauce is AMAZING! The gelato can't be beat and the service is AWESOME!
My only wish is that there was a bit more room for seating and parking...but you MUST try this place if you've never been there before! You will not be disappointed!
Davinci. Best meatballs and marinara ever! Get them to go - with a salad...yummy
Really enjoyed our dinner here. It was the first time I'd gone. The owner and chefs were friendly and really working hard because of being unexpectedly short staffed. The food was delicious, as was the gelato!
If you're really want to eat Italian food without spent a fortune on travel tickets, just visit Caffé DaVinci at Tremont rd, don't forget to try on the end there Tiramisu Dessert.
Very good food and it’s very nice inside!
Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very helpful staff. The lunch special was wonderful. Best. Meal for $10 you can find!
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service, great variety in the menu options. Provided plenty of bread. Pasta didn't impress but was good.
Pizzeria style restaurant. Order and pay for food at counter then seat yourself. All you can eat bread station with fresh focaccia. Chicago style meatball pizza is more like a bread bowl filled with whole meatballs and sauce. The meatballs are very good.

truly authentic Italian.. they came here in 1968. attention paid to food quality and customer experience above all else. the prices are excellent and below what is expected for this quality and quantity.
Almost all pasta is handmade daily (even gnocchi), as is their italian sausage, sauces and marinara. Even desserts, including daily-made Gelato and Tiramisu, are exceptional. Don't forget a Cannoli on the way out!
You won't be disappointed when visiting DaVinci's. Our new favorite place in the state. Enjoy the meal, and follow us: thank Tina afterwards!
Thank you Tina, Jordan, and all other staff, for an exceptional dinner last night (Mother's Day). Was even more surprised you were never so consistently busy you couldn't accommodate us! Look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks for another dinner plus dessert!
