Da Vinci’s Pub

First time dining at this restaurant was a Friday night. The bar was incredibly loud, i.e., one person literally yelling across the bar to someone else, so we opted for a table in a quieter room.
While our waiter was very nice and congenial, service was not remarkable. (1) Waited for initial visit to take drink order; (2) boyfriend’s drink was made with the wrong liquor twice; and, (3) drinks finally organized, waiter left the table rather than taking food order.
My pinot grigio was watered down, as was my boyfriend’s drink.
The balsamic vinaigrette tasted diluted as well, and seemed devoid of actual balsamic vinegar.
Bread was fresh, delicious, and a lot of it was placed on the table.
The spinach and cheese ravioli were delicious.
The calamari starter was very good as well.
My boyfriend’s chicken cacciatore was good too.
We likely will not return to eat at Da Vinci’s.

I have been to Da Vinci’s twice — once just for drinks and another time for happy hour appetizers and drink specials. The exterior décor makes it seem a little more upscale than it actually is. The interior décor is dated and some of the seating could be replaced (ripped bar stools, etc.) The bar area also gets very loud when it’s crowded.
As far as price goes, they have great happy hour specials on appetizers and drinks. I would not recommend the cheese slate appetizer though, it was very sparse and the cheese was not that good. Definitely not worth the price! Overall, friendly staff and good beer selection — just don’t expect an atmosphere comparable to find Italian dining.

Very good! Kids portions are good sized, especially the Manhattan Steak… huge!!! Very good seafood and pasta dishes. Service was excellent all three times we have visited in recent weeks.

I am a total fan of davincis! The best time to go is when the insiders are there. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nearly impossible getting around the place but that just means you have to get there early! Get a table, order some drinks and food (crab stuffed mushroom as an app) and enjoy the entertainment !

We just happened to stop by this place on a Thursday afternoon between lunch and dinner. It’s a cute place with nice bar area and separate dining room. We were quickly seated and waited on. We tried Mama’s meatballs and they were very good. Just add some grated cheese and fig in. I ordered the chicken panini and my bride had the eggplant rollatini. The eggplant was good the panini was so so. Service was great and I would stick with anything that has the marinara sauce.

Although the quality of the raviolis were good, at least give me a full bowel and not 7 of them. I hate going to restaurants and feeling like i have to hit up Burger King after.

I’ve been here during happy hour a few times and always had a good experience. It wasn’t crowded at all this time of day. We’ve sat out on the back deck and even brought our dog which they didn’t have a problem with. (It’s hard to find a dog friendly outdoor seating in this area!) So we’ve come back simply for that. The beer selection is just like any average bar. The staff has always been friendly. It’s clean. The food was also pretty good. We’ve gotten wings and some other apps that were happy hour specials that were great– cheesesteak spring rolls I think. Their salads are large and tasty. Burger was pretty good but not the best I’ve had. I saw the flatbreads and they looked delish but I did not get them so I can’t say if it actually was. I was here just one time at night and it was really crowded– typical bar scene– but they had a band and so that made it fun.

Been here two times and was impressed both times. Service (we had Kim for a late lunch) is great! Prices are good, the food is well worth it. Food was AMAZING!!! My hubby ordered the linguini with clams and they do not skimp on the clams, I got a walnut and blue cheese salad that was life changing good. So good. Highly recommend to others! Atmosphere is pub and very nice.

We went tonight and I like this place. Love the floor to ceiling windows. Food was good and priced accordingly. Decent beer selection.

terrible experience’ we went there for «family pasta night». it took 5 minutes to seat us in a half empty restaurant. we were seated and ordered food and non alchoholic drinks. It took 25 minutes before we were served water. after a half an hour in the restauraunt, and 2 kids rapidly melting down, we still didn’t have salad, bread, or even place settings. I went up to complain to the matte d/​hostess however she was busy on a personal phone call. I walked around the bar area for a few minutes, and decided it was a waste of time, so we left. I explained why to the hostess and she asked if we wanted our food to go. yeah right.
in the interest of fairness, I will point out that there were apparently only two servers working when we were there, not nearly enough. and it was also apparent that the kitchen was backed up. two large parties that were there ahead of us still had not been served when we left. hopefully the management reads this review, and understands this is their problem, and not blame the overworked staff.

Went there tonight, had the best meal. The waiter John was excellent! The food came out perfect and timely. If you’re in the area, you should enjoy a dinner here!

Had an absolutely wonderful meal at Davinci’s Pub tonight. It is really becoming «go to» restaurant for us!

A couple years ago, it was better. I used to like the pasta dishes and some of the appetizers. Last 2 visits over the past year were not as good. Had some wrapped shrimp that were under cooked and mushy. The ravioli was not as good as it used to be. I do not care for the table layout with a lot of middle tables. Can get noisy with the large bar area near by. Overall disappointed the last couple visits, so will not be going back any time soon.

DaVincis does a nice job as long as you have the proper expectation.
I live locally and this is a go to for a casual dinner with a decent selection of beers and food specials. I too may have a different review if I was classifying this as an upscale establishment, but it is not by any means.
The vodka flatbread is quite good and though they call it a flatbread it is the size of a small Tuscan pizza.
Sandwiches during lunch are usually very good!

How we landed up here has a bit of a story: Da Vinci’s had set up a booth at my wife’s place of work and one of the dishes that was on offer appealed to her. Which is why we found ourselves here on a Sunday afternoon. We were promptly seated as we came in.
The first surprise we were in for was that the menu our server handed us looked quite different from the menu my wife had been handed back then. It turns out that the menu she had was the dinner menu whereas even on a Sunday, they had the lunch menu on offer at that time of the day. Our server was however nice that he checked with the chef and agreed to bring items from the dinner menu as well.
Our order was for fried calamari & italian steamed mussels (appetizers), penne vodka pasta and the da vinci’s seafood pasta bowl (entrees). Each of the entrees came with a house salad but I upgraded to a Bleu cheese walnut salad. The portions were more than adequate and needless to say, there was just too much food for the two of us and we ended up with doggy bags. What left a lot (and I seriously mean, a lot) to be desired was the taste of the food itself. Calamari is my go-​to appetizer and nearly every time I have had calamari, it has been better than what we had here. For one, they were too small. Italian steamed mussels in spicy red diavolo sauce were also less than ideal and the sauce did not have the right consistency. The seafood pasta bowl had lots of seafood (shrimp, calamari, etc.) but it was unbelievably bland. Even with a fair amount of lemon and crushed red pepper, it was hard to get over the feeling of pasta that had been merely boiled and been left unseasoned. If there was one item that was OK, it was the penne vodka pasta. It turns out that this is the item which my wife had at the food fest and it may have been the only item which the restaurant does a decent job at :)
The décor of the place was also a little confusing. On the one hand, this place tries to project an upscale image but the chairs don’t go well with it. Something I also noticed was that the inside of the doors in the restrooms were dotted with the marks of stapler pins, the kind you would have seen on the doors of a cheap bar.
All things considered, we do not see ourselves going back to this place anytime soon even with a 15% discount that my wife has access to to because of where she works. There are lots of other places that are worth trying out besides Da Vinci’s.

Come here often. Wings and fries. Walnut chicken salad. Steaks. All good. Nice neighborhood ‘big’ bar. In the summer there is seating along the outside of the restaurant but not recommended because of the traffic. Gets a crowd at night for the band.

Luncheon for approx 12 was served well with exceptionally good food. This was my 3^rd or 4^th time and each time it for different things. BDay Party, dinner, date, etc.
Very reasonanable price too considering how large the portions are.
Like the décor as well as the seperate areas.
A must try in Collegeville.

Da Vinci’s Pub is not the place to go… ever. The location is incredibly small. From the outside you think you are going to enjoy a nice pub until you enter and there is barely anywhere to stand that you aren’t in the way. When we went recently, there was no heat. Everyone inside Da Vinci’s had their jackets still on. I even saw a woman with her gloves on trying to eat dinner. The bartenders were nice, I will give them that. While grabbing a beer from the bar, my friend suddenly stopped drinking to pull what looked like a chunk of hair and fuzz from the bottom of a drain out of his drink. To put the icing on the cake, there is one men’s and one unisex bathroom INSIDE. The ladies room is outside. You need to exit to find the bathroom on the side of the building.
If you go to Da Vinci’s, make sure you dress warm and only drink the bottled beer.

Awful restaurant. The service to be frank, was atrocious. The waiters sucked, and the managers were no better. Don’t even get me started about the food, which was cold and bland. The atmosphere is obnoxious, and the feeling of the place is horrible. AND THE MUSIC — once «The Insiders» (which is a ridiculous name for a so-​called «sophisticated» restaurant) started playing i couldn’t even hear people at my table. And the crowd they brought was an slew of annoying drunks. Don’t take your family here. Or your wife or partner. Or anything. Stay away at all costs and keep a far distance, because the music you can hear from outside anyway.

Went here after a movie at around 9 on a Friday. There wasn’t a wait, but we sat down and were on a first date. We were talking and not sure if we were going to get an appetizer/​dessert but definitely were going to get drinks.
The waiter was training someone and they came over a couple of times to see what we wanted. We said we weren’t sure if we were getting food and were about to order our drinks.
Before we even could order a drink the waiter said in a condescending way, «Oh you aren’t getting food? You know there is a water fountain in the parking lot. Why did you come to our restaurant?» And walked away.
We left a few minutes later. I would never go back to this place!
