Davinci's Eatery

We visited Davinci’s for the first time yesterday and LOVED it. The staff was amazing as was the food. My wife had the largest slab of lasagna either of us have ever seen. It was easily a portion that could feed three people. And the flavor was AMAZING. My sister-in-law went to Olive Garden and wished she had come here. The bruschetta was also among the best we’ve ever had. The tomatoes and red onions had so much flavor and the bread was crunchy, not soggy. I had the pepperoni and garlic small pizza and it was enough for two meals. The wine my wife selected was delightful as. I ordered Wiggy Bridge straight up, which for $12 was a generous pour and if you have never had Wiggly Bridge bourbon (from York, Maine), I highly recommend it. We leave in two days and I guarantee we will be back.

Omg!!! This is amazing!!! Best meal in all of Maine!! The table gets amazing bread and herb oil for dipping. So good and fresh! The lasagna was incredible! Definitely can split it! The salad was amazing! The bruschetta was amazing!! You will not be disappointed!

Loved my experience here. Great feel atmosphere and Manny did a great job as our server. We got 3 appetizers and they were all good but the stuffed mushrooms I’d drive back from Syracuse for😎. My chicken parm was excellent! Everyone loved what they got! Go here!!

A long time customer at the eatery. Got take out and this was a dry and sad display of the tortellini with very little sauce. Will be rethinking my dining in the future if they can't quality control their food.

Went for the first time in a while last night with a group of 8. Food was delicious. Our servers name was Mike, and he was great. The garlic knots didn't have as much of a garlic taste as I recall them having in the past. But were very fresh. I got the shrimp scampi, and it was sooo good! My husband got the seared salmon, which he also really enjoyed. We got creme brulee for dessert, delicious! Pricing has gone up since the last time we had visited. One of the bathroom stalls was a mess, but otherwise the rest of the restaurant was well cleaned.

We got take out for dinner tonight. It was amazing! The stuffed mushrooms are so delicious, and garlic knots are always good here. I was nervous about getting a Cobb salad to go, because I had an hour drive before I could eat it at home. But they bagged the hot food separately from the salads and even put the grilled chicken in its own separate container so that it wouldn't make the salad all soggy. I was so impressed by this! And the salad was so big, delicious, and fresh. Avocados were fresh too. Really appreciate all the effort they put into our meal to go tonight. Thank you Davinci's! 2 very satisfied customers here:)

Enjoyed my pear and Gorgonzola salad with grilled chicken and the Summer Sangria. The complementary garlic knots are delicious but need some red sauce to go with it. Service was good as well.

Nick was one of the best waiters, to ever wait on us. He had an amazing personality. Food was incredible. Mussels sooo fresh. Shrimp Alfredo thick fresh shrimp/pasta/sauce. Artichoke dip needs to be smidge more a serving- IT IS SOOO AMAZING, served with soft bread crackers!! Cake pieces smidge small but also Seriously Delicious!! I took home two large pizzas, they reheated in the air fryer right back as if fresh from their ovens. (Bacon was fresh but smidge fatty.) Liquor Drinks were spot on taste was exactly how they should be. Of Course-We will be back!

Never had a bad experience with the staff, always seem genuine and happy to help. When something occurs that could possibly dim the experience, the waitstaff has always offered discount or a free additional item to smooth it over without ever being asked. In recent years, I've had not a single mediocre plate of food served to me here. Ambiance is always on point and it's nearly always busy.

Met up with some family tonight. Haven't seen in years. We had a wonderful time outside o their patio. Perfect weather. We were in the shade, not too hot or chilly, just perfect. Our waitress, Jessica was so pleasant. She gave us glasses of water, and came back to take our drink order. And later took our food order. Great place to get together with family or friends. I ordered the tiramisu martini. Beautifully made. Taste just like a liquid tiramisu, and chocolate. My Cobb salad was gorgeous. I loved the toppings. Crispy bacon bites, avocado, grape tomatoes, blue cheese hard boiled egg slices. Beautiful crispy fresh salad. Enjoyed everything I had

Came in Saturday and had a great lunch ! The blackberry lemonade was amazing ! Great service from Jessyka !

Food is delicious. The server- Manny was attentive, personable and timely. My wife and I really enjoyed this spot. Quite possibly the best pizza that we've had in years.

As visitors from out of state, this was only our second dinner at this eatery (the first time was the winter of 2010!), and it was as great as we remembered. The building is a refurbished mill, immaculately restored, and while voices are everywhere, you don't have to yell to have a conversation. Warm woods and soft lighting make it super cozy, especially in the dark of winter, which it was on our first visit. There is a good parking lot directly across the street from the entrance. Spencer is an amazing server - polished and witty, and he delivered our experience with panache. The servings are VERY generous. Our salads (beet salad, and cranberry walnut) were entree sized, and I love that, but others might prefer to share it between two people. The lettuce was extremely tender yet crispy. And, vegetarians rejoice, it is no problem to hold the bacon on the cranberry walnut salad. They were so beautiful when they arrived, we were halfway through them before we realized I had failed to take pictures. The same occurred when we had the tiramisu for dessert! However, I did get my wits about me to capture pictures of the entrées. The pizza was delicious, but it wasn't a classic Marguerita; it was made with a lot of standard mozzarella instead of slices of fresh mozzarella. But the crust was light and had a great texture.

Great Italian restaurant in downtown Lewiston. The restaurant is awesome, great decor in an old mill with exposed wooden beams. Scooters and bikes are all over the walls as decoration. The service was fantastic, excellent timing with food. The meal came with parmesean knots which were very good. My eggplant caprese sandwich was excellent. It was eggplant parmesean, buratta, spinach, balsamic on ciabatta bread. It came with a small salad. The sandwich and knots could of used some more flavor, more spices or flavorful cheese or herbs, but other than that it was excellent.

This summer, so far, we have been here twice. Each visit has been a really nice experience. Managed to get seated without reservations, and no hassles. A decent selection of beer and wine. The bread knots are a delicious guilty indulgence. Minestrone soup is a good start to a meal. Our first trip we enjoyed the Dirty Peas pasta dish, and an order of ravioli. Second trip with friends, some folks ordered Salmon, and eggplant parm. All was delicious. Bring an appetite, or plan to take some home.

This place was pretty good! I definitely enjoyed it, as well as everyone else in my party. The garlic knots served were a hit. Super warm and a nice herby olive oil was paired to dip in. You really can't go wrong with that. The calamari was served with a spicy aioli and a sweet balsamic, which balanced out the salty and sweet pairing. Nice crispy pieces and I love when the little tentacles are served and not just the rings! We all enjoyed our side salads as well, they were served with fresh lettuce and dressings aside. The burrata was okay, didn't seem like the freshest piece. Normally a slice to the burrata would pour out once cut open, but the inside of this one was more solid like a piece of fresh mozzarella, this was probably my only issue. My pasta, along with everyone else's very all enjoyed to the fullest. We ranged from getting things like the Chicken Amore, Baked Eggplant and the baked pasta dishes. One of us also got the salmon that was served amongst risotto, another hit! The interior of the restaurant was very rustic Italian like and the dim lighting made the experience more intimate. It was a bit cold in there, but this used to be an old mill so that explains the bit of the draft coming in. Place was overall quite clean and servers were friendly and polite.

Food was excellent . Noisy entry way, keep the families/kids there . Busy night the night I went. Server "Kay" had a lot on her plate but was very good. Would definitely go back!

Met up with extended family for dinner. From our drinks to dessert the entire meal was outstanding. A veritable mix of palates and choices; carbonara, dirty pea salad with mailhots sausage, lasagna, chicken, all shared and each devoured during catch up conversations. Garlic knots, and more garlic knots. Were there other diners? Yes! Did I even notice? Honestly, no. Too focused on 'us' and the meal. Spencer our server was friendly attentive, knowledgeable. Drinks were excellent, and dessert..? to live for- be back soon!!

HELLO loyal fans! Charlotte and I recently found ourselves exploring Lewiston Maine after we went to a record store to pick up compact discs of the albums "Clancy" as well as "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess." (Both great records, let us know if you want that review!) we ended up entering an abandoned mill, where they gave us scrumptious Italian food! It reminded me of when father Andrew James Rhododendron showed me his dark powers... anywho, the chicken parm was HASHTAG YUMMM! oh and don't get us going on those garlic knots... I was crying tears of joy WE LOVE ITALIAN FOOD! This review was left by the Charlotte and Jake review.

Came here for a weekday lunch as a group of five without a reservation and we were seated right away. Our server was Spencer, who was friendly, attentive, and did a great job. First of all: their garlic rolls with dipping oil? Amazing. I should have asked for some to go. Their menus in the restaurant don't mention their lunch specials, but luckily I had checked the online menu first and was able to score a broiled haddock special that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. The haddock came with broccoli and roasted tomatoes. The fish definitely could have used a bit more seasoning/acid, as could the broccoli. They used way too much oil on it, so the end of the dish was very oily and messy. The other people in my party got the farro salad (tasted great until the end when the farro was basically mush thanks to the extra oil and was inedible); the chicken parm (ate it all up happily), the penne milano (loved it and saved it for later), and the melanzana (looked like a big mess but was delicious; portion was huge). We ended up getting some cannoli for the road. The prices were very reasonable; it cost just over $100 for our meal before tip. Definitely worth a stop!

The positive experience started with me calling to make a reservation. She was very nice and it sounded busy and they were able to accommodate a table for 4 people at 4pm (don't judge, I like an early dinner LOL) I thought, would it really be that busy on a Tuesday?....Well when we left at 6pm, there was a wait and the place was packed, including the parking area - people followed us to our spot to wait for us to leave. There is a great parking lot just across the street - 2 hr max which is just about right for eating at DaVinci's - service is quick. The only thing that slowed us down, was the fact I was having a hard time choosing my food and drink because there were so many great options to choose from. I think they had at least 25 local beers on draft and in bottles. Our service was very sweet and patient and smiled the entire time. One of the most pleasant servers I have encountered lately. I had a great great IPA from the draft list - Pulp Truck by Marsh Island Brewing. It was fresh for sure. Drank the tall size, almost too quickly. LOL We enjoyed garlic knots while we waited (briefly) for our calamari appetizer. There were plenty for the table to enjoy with the deliciously seasoned olive oil for dipping. The calamari appetizer was crispy and delicious with the balsamic drizzle. Our meals came out about 15minutes later which was perfect timing as I batted clean up on the apps for the table. YUM! I ordered the Linguine Carbonara with chicken - it was perfectly cooked and plated!!! I wish there was an option for a poached egg on top. It was perfect though and would absolutely get it again. I will enjoy my leftovers today - because the portions were definitely large. Everyone in my group enjoyed their dishes, Chicken Parm, Ravioli and Veal Parm. When we walked in I noticed the dessert case, so I made sure, I kind of saved room for it. LOL Actually I just over ate. I ordered the monster cheesecake and it was totally worth it. It was creamy and delicious. I didn't want to share, but I did share one bite with my husband. We were able to split the check with ease - no hassle and in fact she offered to do it before we had to ask. Our checks were processed fast as well. Every part of our experience was great. I look forward to returning when we are back in the area.

Wow. Just wow. Wow. Davinci impressed on all levels. The food was incredible with authentic Italian flavor and the lovely staff to back it up. My only complaint is the plates were too hard. They hurt when hit on top of head :( Other than that great experience!

The atmosphere is on point, our server Spencer so incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. We will come back for sure!

Service was great but the food quality has gone downhill. We had chicken piccata which was not chicken piccata it was spaghetti with a little bit of broth and a piece of fried chicken on top. Not chicken piccata. Anybody who knows what an Italian saute dish would not think that this was right. We were very disappointed in the food. This is not what DaVinci's used to be.

It has been quite some time since I indulged in some Italian cuisine and this time I dined with a group of colleagues. The front end staff was very friendly and we had a reservation which was kept. When you make a reservation with a group though, they may set a time limit. In our case we had a reservation at 5:30pm and the Manager gave us 2 hours. I am not a big fan of being limited to an end time especially when ordering drinks and appetizers for a group of 7, and that is the reason for my 4 stars on this second review. I was more impressed with the food this time around. I felt he quality and quantity were more consistent with other Italian restaurants I have dined in. The bruschetta was very good. The bread was. nice and crunchy, the dice the tomato and onions was perfect and there was a right amount of acid to fully enjoy the offering. We had a few gluten free colleagues and ordered two gluten free pizzas, one veggie and one with meat. I have never had gluten free pizza dough and honestly I was impressed. I enjoy the nice crunch crust with a slight chew to the dough. They used the right amount of cheese, the veggie pizza had a good amount of veggies, but the meat pizza was a bit scattered with meat mostly to one side. The pizza was good to eat cold later that night from the remaining slices I brought home. The calamari, French fries and wings all tasted good, were cooked well and the flavor was good throughout those appetizers. Their alcoholic drinks are a bit on the pricey side. a Jack and Pepsi will run you $10. The drink was not strong, so I would price it around the $8 range compared to other dining options in the area. Overall, I was more impressed this time around, and the waitress was amazing. She remembered everyone's order, knew exactly what everyone was drinking when asking if we wanted refills. I believe we left a pretty decent tip on top of the mandatory 20% applied to the bill for being a part 6 or more. I would come back and try some of these appetizers again.

Excellent atmosphere, comforting food, enjoyed the experience. Go with a giant appetite.

***Deep Sigh*** So, today I was out running errands and realized I was getting hungry, after the great experience I had a few days ago I thought why not! Well, today the place was super busy and there was a 30-minute waitlist unless I wanted to sit at the bar, no problem it's just me. Once at the bar it's pretty standard practice for the bartender to come over, introduce themselves, and take my drink order. My server/ bartender ( Lara) according to my receipt because she never introduced herself walked over to me and said " Can I get you a drink sir?" Like I was some sort of an annoyance. I took a deep breath and ordered my usual Arnold Palmer and a water with lemon. She came over set the glasses down and actually threw the straws at me and walked away. By this time I'm like what am I missing?!?!? She is smiling at all the other customers, laughing, and even checking in on their meals. As for me, I ordered two entrees, Cesar salad, and two drinks all of which came out at the same time by the way so by the time I finished my salad, my $30.00 pizza was barely lukewarm! But wait! There's more...by this time everyone else has their food and is eating. I was also not given my complimentary garlic knots that come with every entree, which everyone else Miraculously got, but I didn't. As an emotionally intelligent, astute, intuitive person, I surmised that Lara is a Big ole-RACIST!! Yep. The only difference between me and all the other patrons at the bar was I was the only person of color there. Even when she handed me the check it was painful for her to thank me for coming in today. I really hated to write this but she basically ruined this place for me. The food is not worth dealing with this level of ignorance. Usually, I tip above 25% but today I left a $4.00 tip and a smiling face.

Pizza was awesome. Crust just great. Loaded with toppings. Wife had a pasta dish which I don't recall but she loved it and we will definitely be back !

Friendly place. Cool ambiance with open kitchen, high ceilings in renovated building. Food was pretty good not great. Chicken Parmesan was well done, pizza was good and bread knobs were nice. Cauliflower appetizer was not good. Waitress was very friendly and engaging.

THE ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the minestrone soup and dip those bad boys in there you're in for a world of delight. Would recommend the fungi fettuccine and tiramisu

Great place to eat. Food was awsome as well as the service and ambiance. Recommend going to this establishment.

Really enjoy the ambiance and the overall feel of the restaurant. My old fashioned was just alright. The food is just alright, my pasta was more of a soup with noodles. One of the more enjoyable places around this area, but not winning any kind of food awards

Passing through town looking for a quick lunch. Food was good. Service was prompt. I will be back.

Amazing food from good people! Atmosphere is old mill type, good location. owners are local and on hand. Staff is well rounded and professional.

Great food, good ambience. Great service! Loved the pizza. I would say best pizza I've had in the area compared to N.Y. And C.T.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly and quick service! My partner disliked his wine and our waiter was nice enough not only bring a new one but let us sample first.

I want to say today was our first time trying this place. I did call ahead asking if we needed reservations they said they do t take reservations I asked how long was the wait they said no wait we got there within 5 min they said 20-30 min wait we waited 55 minutes so that was a little upsetting. However it was definitely worth the wait our waitress was Christine she was amazing our food was Devin and the drinks affordable and delicious I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who doesn't mind waiting a little.

Stopped here for lunch one day and had a great time. Awesome setting and great food. Their pies looked to die for but had to resist...next time will be a different story

Let me just start by saying that I used to frequently visit DaVinci's Eatery when I was in high school and it was always delicious food. My most recent experience however was lacking in a major way. I decided to order take out for my fiancé and I one evening as the pizza around us is not my favorite and I was craving something with a bit more "oomph". I ordered the garlic knots, a salad, and a large ham and pepperoni pizza. The garlic knots were missing some serious flavor, incredibly dry and no true flavor of garlic, the salad was just that-- a salad. The true disappointment of our evening was the pizza which was entirely missing toppings in the center. The remaining part of the pizza was pretty bare with toppings as well. I wouldn't rate this experience as being exceptional by any means and for the quality of the food we received, I would say we significantly over paid. Giving we visited this establishment in the winter in the middle of the pandemic, I could chalk our experience up to lack of employees while still learning how to navigate a business during a pandemic. I am definitely interested in giving DaVinci's another go and hope that our previous experience was a one time thing.

This place has changed and not for the better. The soup was terrible, not edible. Same with our main meal. Terrible, no flavor. The waitress said they had changed cooks. So we just finished our drinks. The waitresses only charged us for our drinks. She was very nice.

We live 40 minutes away from Lewiston/Auburn, and normally when some business takes us there we'll dine at a favorite restaurant in the area because we aren't as familiar with the local venues as if we lived in town. Yesterday, however, neither of our known favorites was open so we took a chance on DaVinci's, the reviews being generally favorable. What a stroke of luck. DaVinci's is excellent. Eggplant Napoleon was a great starter, ditto the "garlic nuggets" (bread) and seasoned olive oil. For entrees, my wife had the Chicken Saltimboca and I had the Linguine Vongole. Her dish, she said, could've used a bit more sage. I told our server that my dish was perfect as presented. (We accompanied our meal with a bottle of good Italian red wine, reasonably priced.) The menu is large and we look forward to visiting again on another occasion that we're in town.

My friends and I were very much impressed with both the menu and the atmosphere at DaVinci's Eatery in Lewiston, ME on a recent visit there. I ordered the Lasagna and was totally happy. It was so tasty! My friends ordered the Melanzana and the Fettuccini Alfredo. Both were happy with their choices. This was food-wise the highlight of our trip to Maine!

Loved the old warehouse atmosphere and the service was great! The food came very fast.

Tasty pasta dishes! Enjoyed the atmosphere too. Food arrived relatively soon and we were all happy overall with what we ordered.

Decent food, basic atmosphere, service is good. Just was not all that impressed. Won't be my first go- to.

First time eating here.omg food was awesome. The monster cheesecake ..was a bit pricey But worth it.will definitely eat there again.

DaVinci's is great for lunch, dinner, drinks, date night, family meals, business meetings, medium sized events, etc. No matter who your company is, you'll fit in here. We've been eating here for as long as I can remember and we love everything about it. You've got to try the garlic knots! I particularly enjoy trying the various dishes such as Dirty Peas and Pasta or Chicken Amore rather than eating just the plain ole fettuccine Alfredo. The pizza is cooked in a brick oven and there is nothing like it. It's just amazing. The desserts are just as good and I recommend the tiramisu. If you're looking for a seat at the bar, have at it. You'll be greeted by friendly and fun bartenders who will make you feel at home and keep you quenched.

This was our first time. We will definitely be back. I recommend the veal saltimboca. The creme brulle was great too. Good service, fair prices.

The food and atmosphere was great. We stopped in for lunch based upon a recommendation from our friends who live nearby. I'm glad we did. The food was authentic.

Was a perfect stop after our dogsledding near by. Enjoyed sitting in the bar - great staff and love the old brick building vibe. Also great music. Thanks!

Worst Italian food I've ever had! The chicken parm was so salty that I couldn't even eat it. Very disappointed as I had been told how wonderful it was.

It's always delicious food at DaVinci's The atmosphere is nice and it's a good location

Took my chicken COBB salad to go - such are the days of COVID-19. I ordered ahead. Everything was waiting when I arrived. The salad was delicious! Super fresh. Tasty. Well put together. The bread was also great. The inside of the restaurant is open and welcoming. I will definitely be back. I'm looking forward to the lobster ravioli.

If you are in the nearby area and craving Italian food, skip the popular chain Olive Garden and come here instead. Better service and food here anyway but it can be considered on the pricey side by many so be warned. It is located in the Bates Mill area in Lewiston with large amounts of seating, but it does get busy at times. A family friendly atmosphere that you don't need to get all dressed up for. Starting with the drinks, they have lots of options for wines, cocktails, and my personal favorite, quite a large selection of beers. With many different local beer options from all over the state and from beyond. Everyone should be able to find a drink they like. Similarly, their food list is large as well with everything from starters (recommend the sausage stuffed mushrooms) to salads, pizza, and all the classic italian dishes you would expect. I personally recommend getting the chicken parm. You get such a large portion that you can eat half for that meal and still bring home half for later. So if you are near Lewiston and craving Italian food this is the place to go. Huge portions with plenty of choices of food and drinks in a family friendly restaurant.

We love it here. The pizza is soooo good. The chef makes us aglio olio even though it's not a menu item. 4 stars! Add the grilled chicken. The Caesar is very fresh too. The decor is pretty hip inside. We love everything about this place.

Amazing food and great service! I tired the Brie pizza and it was fantastic - will definitely be recreating this flavor combo at home! Prosciutto, cranberries, caramelized onions and Brie topped with arugula- so good! The table bread was amazing with an great seasoned dipping oil as well. I would love to come back and try some other menu choices again!

Expensive but the food always tastes so good you forget the price. Amazing Alfredo's, super delicate desserts, a must try in L-A
