7 E St Mary's Gate, Freshney Place, Grimsby DN31 1LH, United Kingdom
Wanted something nice for three of us, one veggie one who only likes traditional food and one who doesn't like two spicy. Found something on menu for all of us reasonably priced.
I visited this restaurant this week and I had a lovely experience. The food was tasty😋 I need to go back there next time visiting the Grimsby. Thanks!
Nice food. Big menu. My dish was a bit oily but overall tasty. Good sized portions too. Service was slightly slow but didn't spoil the experience.
Definitely a go to place in Grimsby, great food at a reasonable price. Enjoyed a chicken dish from the specials with vegetables. The table was served by the lovely Taylor ( hope it's spelt right) what a wonderful young lady, smiling and helpful,always busy... A credit to the business. All in all a personal favourite when I'm working in the area.
Open kitchen so you can see what's going on,big plus.Very clean,superb service and most importantly very tasty food.
We found ourselves in town over lunchtime and decided to try this place. We were greeted and seated quickly and had our drink orders taken while we browsed the menu. The waitress was attentive and also gave us the time we needed to decide. My two children opted for pizzas, whilst my Mum and I both went for chicken dishes. The chicken was lovely and tender and the two sauces we had were delicious. The portion sizes were just right for us - but I would suggest that if you have a larger appetite it would be a good idea to order a starter. We both have quite small appetites and the sauces were lovely and rich so was the ideal size for us - were nicely full but not stuffed. What I was amazed by was the prices! For the 4 of us, including drinks, the bill came to £42.00 - which for 2 pizzas and 2 hot main meals , and 4 drinks, in a table service restaurant with the food cooked to order in the open kitchen I thought was fantastic! I noticed there is a different, more expensive evening menu but quite rightly so, as the lunch menu was extremely good value. Will definitely be back, lovely little place, fab food and great staff. Thank you!
The food was so tasty, a Smokey cloud from the oven added to the ambiance. This place has such a good reputation and is always busy whenever we have been. Friendly staff getting into the Christmas spirit with music and costumes. Great food at good prices x
Very friendly, almost family experience. In credible dishes. Chef/owner seemed very happy and enjoyed his work. I had lamb dijon which was tender and rich. Ask for some hot brioche bread to soak up the amazing gravy. Book ahead to make sure you don't miss out. Would book again so I can work my way through the menu lol.
The best itallian food in the area by far. Extensive menu cooked fresh to order, and was piping hot and plentiful. The service was 1st class and nothing was touch trouble. Would highly recommend and will be a place we will keep visiting for tasty itallian food.
Great food and reasonable prices. Just need to add some alcohol free beers to the menu.
After being told there wasnt any tables for another 2 hrs, we told them that was a bit late, they apologised and we thought that was that. However, 10min later, they called back saying that they have shifted some tables around and could fit us in in 20min. Not many places would do that. I was there with my wife and our son, and we found it to be small but cosy and well managed, the servers were very polite and helpful and the food was served quickly,cooked well and delicious. With good portion sizes. And the tiramisu was to die for. We would definitely go here again. Thank you
A lovely lunch. Good food. Nothing more to say really.
Food is very good. We both had a pasta dish fresh ingredients used, only downside was that it was a warm night and no air conditioning, will definitely go back and would definitely recommend it to other people.
Grate staff and good food can not get much better
Lovely food and staff as usual x Shame not busier but it was a very warm evening and probs people wanted to sit outside x wishing you much success and will definitely be back x Parking: If you don t know area you might have a short walk x
Had a meal here with 2 good friends ,best lasagna Ive had for years, & Iam SO fussy about lasagna as pubs especially always get it wrong ,loved it here & definately going back I want to try the Lamb Medallions they sounded yummy
Food excellent
Love this place , best Italian restaurant in grimsby Parking: No parking withing 200 metres of the restaurant. Situated in middle of shopping centre so paid parking regions only. Food : 5/5 |
Great service, lovely food.
The very best steak and lasagne we have ever tasted. Worth every penny. Taylor and susie the waitresses are the best, friendly kind and good at their job. The atmosphere is easy and relaxing. Other staff came over and said hello. Fantastic place will be back . Lovely place. Enjoyed the meal so much, highly recommend.
Family meal. Waitress was very welcoming and friendly
nice fresh cook food , well priced and attentive staff , would visit again.
Absolutely love dining here, food is great , service very good, and nice casual atmosphere, been here few times now and always found everything good
Fantastic service and food amazing as always
Strange restaurant. We had; Bread and olives - meh. It was toasted shop bought, kinda average bread. They had one bottle of olive oil and balsamic across 10 tables so we had to wait for the other table to finish their starter. Then the bottle to pour it seemed clogged as we barely got a drizzle. The other start was great. Aubergine Florentine. Aubergines, peppers, courgettes, lots of garlic, nice tomato sauce, and lots of cheese. This is the only reason Im giving it 2 star. Then for mains we had soggy veggie pasta and a risotto that was under cooked rice (and it wasnt even risotto rice). Oh also, the fork we had was already dirty.
The Chef, Jordan was very helpful. The food was excelent.
Amazing staff and food was excellent
Really nice spage bol for me and my colleague said his steak was great.
Great food, fantastic hosts ,and a nice bottle of wine .What else do we need .
Pizza was terrible, never again
Incredible atmosphere and decor, open plan kitchen where you can see your food being cooked in front of you. Great service and quality of ingredients. Ill be coming back
Love this place.never had a bad meal there food always delicious and hot. Staff very pleasant. Food
Gorgeous food, great night. Thanks
Did not know this restaurant but it was in a convenient spot...had the best meal of my vacation. The lamb was good and the treacle pudding with custard...sublime...highly recommend.
Great selection of steak and other meat options (lamb is brilliant) and really reasonably priced. Love the open plan kitchen vibes.
VERY BUSY NICE FOOD , COOKED TO ORDER POLITE AND WELL DRESSED . SMALL EATING AREA , BUT ADEQUATE Food : 4/5 |
Food was great! Well done to the chefs! Young man server was also great, trying his best. However, one of the female servers seemed unhappy with life, didn t feel welcomed by her attitude at all lovly
Normally food is banging here but received steak undercooked which was tried to rectify but on this occasion did not succeed and had to return for refund
I was on a holiday and we were looking for an Italian restaurant. So Im basing this review on european standards of a Italian restaurant. So here goes: The food was ok and cheap, however some of the menu choices completely baffled me. A pizza for a starter for example. How is a full size pizza a starter? The service was not very professional. The waitresses were friendly but they need some training. Basic things like table setting were not done correctly. Putting knives and forks on the wrong side. Same with glasses and water. Our starters and appetisers were brought at the same time. By the time we finished the ridiculously large pizza starter, our appetisers were cold. Finally, we got a tiramisu desert but I think they forgot to put the cacao powder on it. Unless its their own creation, in which case I ask: why change it? So my suggestion to the restaurant is to train your people, slow down the food (one at a time) and replace the starter pizza with an actual garlic bread with cheese. If you want to serve pizza (which you should) put it under the main dish.
Amazing food and great customer service thank you
The food was excellent service not so even though not busy. There was no atmosphere could do with having some kind of music in the background. Very smokey from the cooking need better extractor fans. Would still go though because the food is so good.
Great food , atmosphere and staff , the chef even taught young josh the fine art art of de heading and de shelling a prawn . Spot on
I had the fillet steak..super tasty and great service. Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices. Kid-friendliness: Full of well behaved kids.
Food really excellent, havent had a bad meal its always been top form, really friendly stall, and explain the meal you ordered if you want, reasonable prices and good selection of wines,
Great steak
Excelkent evening meal - great service, lovely people, thoroughly enjoyable time there ! Vegetarian options: Happy to make adjustments to make vegetarian dishes into true vegan with home provided vegan cheese etc.
Warm welcoming friendly efficient and good choice of menus.
Lovely food. Warm welcoming staff and atmosphere would highly recommend
Yes was lovely meal
Nice little Italian restaurant with friendly service. I ordered the Risotto di Mare which was OK.
Good food and had a good family time here.
Its worth a visit & enjoyable comfortable place to eat.
Food was good however the portion size wasnt large enough for me personally,worth a visit though.
Wow! Just wow! The best garlic bread me and my partner have ever had and the mains didnt disappoint either... totally delicious. Staff friendly too to top it off. Definitely coming back again
Been coming to da Vinco for years but service was extremely poor and then was treated very badly by the new younger management on the day I was in, they were insulting and very discriminative, so badly that I will not be back!
Nice enough place but it just doesnt give off the feeling of being Italian. Foods ok though.
Fantastic experience and food plus service
Pizza taste like frozen one from aldi for £1.99
Lovely food and friendly atmosphere
Beautiful food cooked fresh to order. Enjoyed our lunch so much I went back the next day with my friend!
Book a table..this place gets packed..food is not the cheapest but its well worth treating yourself
Excellent meals, lovely atmosphere friendly and helpful staff from chefs to floor staff recomend to all
Very friendly staff and food is excellent.
popped in for pizza, nice pizza, cooked really quick, pleasent staff, wasnt busy
Lovely food and great service as always
Enjoyed our pasta dishes. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.
Called in a couple of weeks ago on a Monday night. The food was good fresh and very tasty, the waitress that served us was so good making sure we had everything we wanted, would recommend.
Lovely food, great staff and friendly atmosphere
Great food and lovely staff. Good value for money. Must go back again.
The lamb was so amazing as if my granny prepared it. Wonderful! Kid-friendliness: Ready to help with a childrens chair.. Food : 5/5 |
Very good value for money !
Welcoming staff and service as always. It has been quiet on the last couple of times I have visited but that might be due to the time (5ish straight from work). Some portion sizes are big (spag bol) others could be larger (lasagna). All food is clearly homemade, fresh and very tasty. I will definitely be back.
We had a lovely lunch time meal. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and couldnt do more for you. We will definitely be back.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the food was not tasty what so every, worst carbonara I ve ever had.
Great food I had the fish plate and it was very nice. The wife had some chicken skewer dish, if I had to be a little critical it could have done with a little more chicken but she said it tasted very nice. Will definitely go back again.
Lovely food, great staff.. very quite and quaint. Would definitely recommend Food
Food ok but not substantial
Lovely food great service reasonably priced.
Had our Xmas get together on 7th Dec, food excellent, but I must say our lovely waitress and she was all on her own, she had no other help serving drinks, food and clearing away, was brilliant, never got stressed, did absolutely everything smiled all the time we where there, first class , definitely recommend
There were 7 of us looking for a place to eat on Saturday lunchtime. Most of the pubs in the town centre are either full of drunks or blasting football at top volume so it was a real pleasure to find Da Vincis. The food was delicious, the service top rate and ambiance perfect. Ten out of ten.
First visit on Friday was impressed with the menu. Food was served quickly and very hot. Garlic bread was divine . Good sized portions too. Would definitely go again. Only down side our orders were taken but menus not removed. The same waitress took our dessert option but didnt ask or give me time to select cream, ice cream etc and had to come back to ask . Will definitely become a regular here.
Love the place and love the atmosphere
Carbonara is a reliable classic, but get the crepe marinette for a fantastic starter.
Best garlic bread and lasagne in town great service and staff , very busy for a Saturday evening in January glad we booked, lovely to see the restaurant buzzing
I have always enjoyed eating food at this venue. Its very authentic and delicious. Its my first eatery that comes to mind on a busy shopping or relaxing window shop day.
Really nice restaurant and the food is good too and reasonably priced
Really tasty food which is made with love and expertise. Lovely welcome and as a Vegan my needs were fully catered for. I enjoyed the experience immensely. Well done Da Vinci.
Our 3rd time eating here and we loved it!!! Thank you so much for offering an ice lolly to our baby. He absolutely loved it!! The staff lady was so friendly !!!! We will definitely come back !!!!
Went to da vinci for valentines day i had the stromboli pizza which was tasty and partner had spaghetti e polette which was nicely flavoured and both had chocolate cake for dessert which was rich and delicious staff were very friendly and polite definitely will come back again.
Great little place fast friendly service price was great as well and food was amazing
Great food, great service & great environment what else can you ask for
Lovely friendly place good food and friendly welcoming atmosphere and excellent service.
What can I say ,amazing place ,great food and the lady that served us was an absolute delight,you dont get staff like that these days,most are bloody miserable but this lady was a pleasure so smiley and couldnt do enough for us,made a lovely fuss of my little son to ,will definitely be back again.
Lovely food. Cannot fault it. Lovely fresh and tasty. Staff was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. Couldnt have gone with a better person either
Everyone raves about this place but to he fair it wasnt anything special. It was nice food and nice staff for sure but its not all its cracked up to be
Food came out after an appropriate amount of time, not too quickly, but not taking ages either. The food was of high quality and the service was great. 10/10, would recommend
Food was a bit bland
Very nice for pasta fans enjoyed the food. The place gets abit smoky in there as kitchen is open plan. But food lovely
Greeted on arrival and taken straight to our table. Very clean in dining area. Table was pristinely set. Meals were ready at the same time, excellent considering we all ordered different meals! One of the staff offered to take a photo of all of us so everyone was in the photo. I would recommend a visit to this friendly and informal restaurant
Lovely food, very reasonable prices, always a pleasure.
pleasant surroundings, excellent food - generous, pleasant service with good timing. Can look a bit drab from outside but the overall experience inside is enjoyable with good value for money
Great traditional Italian food fantastic service and all at a reasonable price
Great, really tasty food and very friendly & helpful staff. Went above and beyond to help out a cyclist with a (relatively) secure place to lock bike while they ate.
Me and 3 friends dined in your restaurant last night and it was the best night, our waitress susie was amazing very friendly, helpful and funny. She helped us with the bill and chatted with us about making puddings and also gave my friend advice that she definitely needed . The food was spectacular I could eat it all again now. The atmosphere was spot on love it there..
It was very comfortable food was lovely and very friendly service xx
Very good food and service
Great place great food great service
Steak diane on point!! Could do with air conditioning in there.. id go in wearing shorts and a vest in future
Lovely dining experience. Service was quick and attentive. Food was great with generous portions. 5 star food standards rating...would recommend. Parking: Had to park a little distance away as its on a pedestrianised road. Kid-friendliness: Enough space to accomodate a push chair.
Staff are extremely polite on the phone when booking or cancellation. Very respectful, polite and helpful.
Very nice meal
Excellent meal and friendly staff. We are never disappointed there.
Amazing place. My family and i come here nearly every year for birthday meals. Staff are friendly, food is fantastic and all priced well.
1st day of holiday, decided would like an Italian so after looking around the menu at Da Vinci looked pretty inviting. Wasnt disappointed the food was delicious and came out very timely. I had the ribs as a starter which came of the bone lovely, sauce was amazing. Main course had garlic bread and the lamb dijon,. Potatoes were tasty and fluffy. Lamb was tender with a sauce not tasted before which was enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and helpful highly recommend this restaurant
I went for a birthday meal with my best friend and the food we ordered was roasted ham and goats cheese salad and it was amazing. We both had the same meal drink and dessert and the was amazing to. We will be back for more.
I love lamb when it is done well and it was. A very tasty lunch. Will try dinner soon.
Lovely chilled out atmosphere, staff really friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had what we wanted, cooked a meal which was not.on the menu as my daughter asked for it, ( was on previous menu) food was delicious,
Lovely a regular haunt of ours staff very friendly and food amazing
Beautiful food. Very friendly staff. Very good value for money.
We came a couple of weeks ago with Friends for my 70th Birthday. The down side was we were on a table near the door & people who were coming in were not closing it, & the evening was very cold, wet & windy so we had to keep getting up to close it until it was brought to the waitresses attention, then they made sure the door was closed. The food was lovely, nice & hot, also very well presented. I will look forward to eating here again. Thank you Da Vincis.
Fantastic food. The service by the staff was fab. They were all very friendly and helpful. Great value too. Thanks again.
Fantastic Restaurant shame I can only give it 5 stars, staff are fantastic
Exalent food and service at the rite price
Excellent good and really good service
My husband and I love coming here, great food and lovely staff
Very good food at very good prices. Proper Italian authentic food
Wow, food amazing, had the rosemary lamb, proper, real Italian food!! Very reasonable prices too, house red was good and couldnt have been more welcoming!! Will be back.
Good food, but often run out of it way before closing time.
Nice food
Lovely restsurant, friendly staff and great food.
A brilliant little Italian restaurant in the heart of Grimsby! The menu was varied and well priced, the food was presented beautifully and tasted excellent, the service was attentive and knowledgeable, I would recommend and intend to return very soon!
Come here few times a year always awesome
Favourite Restaurant by far
Nice meal staff very friendly,helpful,
My wife and I went to Da Vinci restaurant yesterday. Our bruchetta starter was large, beautifully crisp and tasty. Then we both had Chicken Spiedino Di pollo which was excellent. The chicken was moist with a yoghurt dressing and the tomato based sauce was very tasty. The service by our waitresses was attentive but not overbearing. We ate too much because our eyes were bigger than our stom aches. We will definitely be back to sample further choices on their menu.
Da Vinci is a good Italian ristorante in the centre of Grimsby, Im not certain when it first opened its doors but I think that was over 30 years ago. Its a quite small restaurant with a warm atmosphere and Italian styling,it has music playing in the background,it has quite subdued lighting which creates an intimate feel. It was serving good quality Italian food long before the the fast food outlets and pizza chains arrived in Grimsby. It has lunchtime menu and specials menu during the day and a more extensive evening menu which includes steaks. Theres a good range of meals available on both menus which can be viewed online. A good selection of classic Italian dishes its not just a pizzeria,though the pizza is good here. It serves alcohol and has a very good selection of wine and good coffee. I found the staff very polite and friendly and they provide good table service. The layout is chiefly free standing tables with movable chairs which could easily accommodate a wheelchair, the access is to the restaurant is also good. It has its own restrooms.They currently have a 3*** food hygiene rating. Credit cards are accepted here. Food review June 2019. I ordered the bruschetta to start and the lemon sole goujons for my main meal and a pot of tea. The tea arrived quickly and was soon followed by my starter. The bruschetta was a delight freshly made with really good quality ingredients,perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The main course was also good the fish had a good crispy coating with a good flavour which didnt over power the delicate flavour of the lemon sole inside, the freshly prepared slaw that accompanied the meal was also very good, my only criticism was the chips which were good but were of the frozen variety,the quality of the tea was also very good. I paid £12.48 for my meal, which I thought was very reasonable given the quality of the food and service I received. Update August 2021. They have recently made improvements and now have a 5 food hygiene rating.
Their Italian meal was on point.
This place put the pants in pantaloons
Food was great and good service
Food excellent, as was service, well done.

Staff arguing
Food nice but fairly basic for the price
Service good but the food was bland.
Omg !! What a gem. Admittedly we are a bit picky when it comes to eating out but this place is fantastic. Fresh tasty food and the offer of gluten free options including pizza and garlic bread. I couldnt be more impressed. Love the fact you can see them cooking. Highly recommended.

Food was decent... absolutely boiling in the restaurant though
Excellent..
Excellent food and friendly excellent service too. Well worth a visit
Went on Saturday for the first time in a while and we wasnt impressed at all. Partners pasta dish was dry and flavourless and my fillet steak looked the part but was chewy and tasteless. Disappointed because it was always nice whenever we went before.
Pizza was a shop brought base which wasnt that great. The blond waitress brought us the receipt and asked us if we would like our change of course we want our change it should have come with the receipt in the first place, bad customer service and mediocre food. Wouldnt recommend
Lovely food
Best Italian in town! Never had a bad meal here in all the years weve been going, fantastic service from all the staff too.
