DA VINCI Restaurante in Kassel

We were at Davinci last night; the food was of very good quality and beautifully presented. However, the service seemed a bit hectic and disorganized. We had ordered an appetizer and were surprised that it took so long. Then our main course came first instead of the appetizer. We had asked for the appetizer first, and it did arrive. However, the main course was cold afterward, as it had most likely just been sitting on a warming plate/heat lamp for so long. But the food is very tasty. A lot needs to be done in terms of service. It was similar at other tables. And when we paid, we waited 15 minutes before anyone even came. We completely understand if it takes a while. But that was too long, and then not even a "sorry, it's a bit stressful today, may I offer you another espresso, etc." We thought that was a bit of a shame.

Service was sometimes overwhelmed, especially when the place was full. The food was generally appealing, the taste and quantity were OK, but couldn't be rated above satisfactory. The wait for service was too long. Not surprisingly, given the busy place, there were too few staff, which affected the wait time and friendliness. I could have easily had 2-3 more drinks, but after the food was delivered, the attention on our table waned. The restaurant is overhyped, especially since the ambiance at times feels like a train station concourse, which leads to the loud noise when the place is full.

Food delicious price performance is right

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience. I received food with a very dominant ingredient that had been deliberately set aside beforehand. However, the food was replaced. Neither I nor my companions particularly enjoyed it, and I wouldn't choose it again. The service was overworked and not very friendly.

I stopped here for the first time by chance because the restaurant of my choice was closed, contrary to what Maps had shown. Google wasn't sure whether DaVinci was open or closed on Whit Monday, but since I was only a few hundred meters away, I stopped by. It was open. The surrounding area is one of the nicer residential areas in Kassel, with quiet streets lined with old trees and Wilhelminian-era houses. Very pleasant. The glass-enclosed pavilion, which converted the former terrace into a dining room and is visible thanks to the lighting, offered a free table for me and my companion. Actually, the friendly Italian waitress assigned us a table. Yes, they skimp on service here, but it's very customer-oriented. The furnishings and decor are also sparse: despite the cloth napkins, there's no tablecloth. It's a shame, as that distinguishes a restaurant from a simpler eatery. The food here isn't cheap, but it's certainly appropriate for the quality of the cuisine. Yes, you can enjoy delicious Italian food here. The pasta isn't overcooked; it's simply yet beautifully presented and enhanced with delicious sauces. They'll be happy to help you choose the right wine. The wines are good, and they also serve Italian Moretti beer. All in all, this restaurant is highly recommended and worth repeat visits.

The food was excellent, nothing to complain about. Kudos to the chef!! One star deducted because the waitresses were simply unpleasant. All of them, really. Except for the bartender—he at least said goodbye to us :) Otherwise, they weren't at all inviting and seemed very annoyed. It's a shame; it totally ruined the atmosphere. No interest in our presence; we had to call someone over every time... what can I say... smiling doesn't cost anything. Was there even dessert? We didn't want to ask any more questions; we were glad we finished quickly and could leave.

Never again. 2 hours of waiting. Pizza not cooked through.

A Solid Restaurant with Room for Improvement The Da Vinci restaurant in Kassel offers a pleasant ambiance and an appealing menu. Unfortunately, the visit wasn't convincing in all aspects. The meat dish I ordered wasn't cooked to the desired degree, which somewhat spoiled the experience. The coffee was also more lukewarm than hot. While the service was friendly and attentive, it was noticeably slow—longer wait times resulted. Nevertheless, the restaurant's potential is evident. With a little more attention from the kitchen and service, the visit could have been much more well-rounded. I would be open to another attempt.

Very nice area there and the ambiance was great, but unfortunately our food was cold. That wasn't nice.

The price-performance ratio is decent, the food is delicious 😋, and the staff is very friendly 😃😃 Unfortunately, the limoncello was missing at the end 😞

A very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere and tasteful decor. The service was excellent and quick. The food also arrived quickly. The food was hot and well presented. Unfortunately, the flavor was rather bland and almost unseasoned. The risotto and pasta were very bland. The appetizer plate was also not very tasty. We wish the kitchen had been more bold with salt, spices, and garlic. Then it would give it 5 stars! Dessert was good!

A wonderful restaurant that we'll definitely be returning to, even though we live about 100 km away. Due to the weather, we happened upon this restaurant visit by chance, but it was more than worth it. Everything we had, from starters to main courses and desserts, was delicious. Homemade pasta and clever creations are standard fare. The kitchen and service staff seem to be a well-coordinated team, offering guests a truly excellent package that justifies every cent. Highly recommended!

Great Italian restaurant with top-notch service, friendly staff, and even though it was very busy, the service was absolutely prompt. The one-star deduction for the food is actually because out of the 20 dishes, not every one was absolutely 5-star, and some pizzas actually had minimal toppings. Otherwise, top-notch

Highly praised, but I've eaten better. Waited a long time for drinks and food (1.5 hours), even though there wasn't much going on. Food was kept warm for a long time and was not as described on the menu. (cheap bacon instead of Italian smoked bacon). If you think Italian flair is popular here, you're wrong here. I could mention other things.

Very nice cafe, I can recommend it

Nice restaurant with good food.

Unfortunately, the last visit with a slightly larger group (12 people) was not so successful. Some dishes were very salty, other dishes weren't really warm and the noodles were sometimes hard. Too bad. The ambience was positive!

Very tasty food, service very nice and competent

The food is tasty, but the service is not good. My dessert (Tiramisu) was literally thrown on the table.

The food and ambience were convincingly good. Unfortunately, the staff seemed arrogant, listless and unfriendly.

The restaurant is very busy, we were lucky and got a seat. It is better to reserve in advance. The service is very friendly and accommodating with Italian charm. The food is a delight for the eyes and the senses. The price-performance ratio is good. Thank you for the great evening.

Delicious Italian food more than pizza. Fine selection of Italian wines. White, red wine and rosé. Highly recommended.

Good and fast service, delicious food with reasonable prices. Try pizza because the crust is great!

Pure Italy. Great price-performance ratio. Nice and courteous service.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday at Da Vinci with my family tonight. Unfortunately I'm very disappointed. The soup was tasty but lukewarm, the drinks didn't arrive but were charged for, the chili oil we ordered was only brought when we requested it (demanded) and the waiter carelessly slapped the food on the table for us. Smiles, not included in the price?! We've been here several times, but I don't think we'll be back. It's a shame, because it was actually always good in this restaurant. I'm not that sensitive, but we felt unwanted here today and maybe my writing will change something. All the best for the future, because that's what the Da Vinci will need.

Ambiance was great, service was fine and the food was tasty. Thank you👍🏼

The service was so bad that we won't be back. We waited hours for our appetizers and food. Plates and glasses weren't cleared. I didn't get a glass or a spoon. It was very disappointing.

Once and never again! Despite reservations, we had to wait over an hour for our food. We asked the waiter several times about our food, but his answer was always: “In a moment.” When we finally wanted to pay, we asked in a calm tone the reason for the long wait. Suddenly another waiter intervened and they both raised their voices - in front of the other guests. To our surprise, we were called “pushy,” an outrageous insinuation that had no connection to the situation. Such disrespectful behavior is unacceptable! What was particularly disappointing was that guests who arrived after us received their food much earlier. Absolutely unprofessional!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere pleasant. Unfortunately, the service significantly dampened our impression. We had to wait over an hour for our food, while other guests who had ordered later were served much faster. Furthermore, one of our orders was completely forgotten, and despite asking twice, we were simply fobbed off. It's a shame, because the restaurant has great potential – but the service desperately needs to improve.

Unfortunately, our visit to DAVINCI in Kassel was a complete disappointment. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait 45 minutes for a table – and then we got the worst seat, right by the entrance. We were barely seated when we had to wait another 45 minutes for our food, even though it was just two pasta dishes. When the food finally arrived, it was also a disaster. The spaghetti carbonara was overloaded with far too much cheese, and the sage pasta simply tasted like cheap cheese – worse than over-seasoned macaroni and cheese. To top it all off, the restaurant allowed a lot of animals, which was neither hygienic nor pleasant. The service was inattentive and slow – an absolute no-go! Definitely not recommended, we won't be back!

Separate room for business lunches. Rich selection of wines. Cozy atmosphere

Super nice restaurant, both pizza and steak are excellent!! The bruschetta was super good!

We were there several times over the weekend and before. The food is super tasty, only some very very small portions and nothing for those who are very hungry. Unfortunately the service is a disaster. Unfortunately, something has always gone wrong so far, which we find very unfortunate. Orders were forgotten and after over an hour we were asked what we had ordered again. Then we had to wait another half hour. Reservations were overbooked, leaving at least 10 people waiting outside the door for their table. That shouldn't happen in a restaurant like this and is pretty unpleasant if you go there hungry. The staff seems very stressed... Very tasty, but super disorganized :-(

We were there for the first time on a Saturday. Unfortunately it wasn't a nice evening... starting with the nice yet inattentive service... Unfortunately WE were only able to order the drinks when we asked. My risotto (with truffle) was tasteless and I didn't taste any truffle at all. I wasn't the only one who felt that way. It's questionable whether we'll give it another chance, although the homemade pasta is tempting.

Delicious food and very nice service. Went there with 22 people and everything went great.

We had reserved a table but had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. At least the boss gave us Prosecco several times and the delicious food put us in a better mood! Absolutely recommended, reservation, especially on the weekend, is a must.

My new favorite Italian restaurant - it was such a lovely evening - really good service - very professional - delicious food and the non-alcoholic cocktail was so good - we'll be back. Thank you very much ☺️

Ate the 4-course menu today. Highly recommended.

Went there for the first time yesterday and was more than thrilled. We were there with a group and had a separate room, so we were completely undisturbed. The food was delicious, I thought the prices were pretty normal. The pizza was really big and super tasty. The service was friendly and despite the fact that it was extremely busy (including a queue in front of the door), we didn't have to wait long. Gladly again 👍👍

Very good food and great wines, but I would have liked more Italian flair and Italian individuality. Service top! Price/performance very good.

Yes, good ‘noble Italian’. I often travel to Italy for personal and professional reasons. I'm always amazed at what I pay for good Italian cuisine there. A bit crazy here...

The food was great 😋 And the service and ambience were great too. It won't be the last time there.

Delicious restaurant, good service

Don't have to go there again, there are better dishes and especially in the service

Wir sind am Freitag abend mit 5 Personen dort gewesen und waren sehr zufrieden. Pizza und Linguini im Parmesanlaid am Tisch zubereitet waren klasse. Waren am nächsten Abend wieder dort. Tip: Stark besucht, deshalb vorsichtshalber Tisch reservieren.

Beautiful ambience, very friendly service, great quality. Always happy.

The food was semi good, it could be better. I had pasta with shrimps in saffron cream. It's just sticky, the shrimp were cooked well, that took out the noodle mush. The staff very friendly.

The food was delicious, but I was a little disappointed. I thought of a taste explosion; the individual components could have been expressed more. I ate spaghetti with duck and truffles.

Food and ambience, like at home in Sicily. Super tasty and beautifully prepared. Service was also great, despite the fact that the restaurant was full on Boxing Day. We had booked the fireplace room and would have liked to have stayed longer after more than 3 hours, but other guests should also be able to enjoy this. Mille Grazie. Famiglia Klapp/Balistreri, San Nicola L'Arena

The food was really good, but the service (especially from the chef) unfortunately spoiled the experience. There were seven of us there and everything took an incredibly long time - we were in the restaurant for a total of three hours. First, a main course was completely forgotten. After the main course we had already ordered coffee and dessert, but here too we had to wait a long time. When I asked, the boss reacted very unprofessionally and arrogantly. Instead of apologizing, he just explained that there were 150 guests - which is irrelevant from a guest's perspective. It's a real shame that the very good quality of the food is overshadowed by such poor service. Unfortunately, with such an attitude, a visit is not worth it.

It's very loud and it's hard to have a conversation

We have reserved. That was a good thing too. The food was great. The staff also very much. friendly even though they were busy.

Good service, nice atmosphere 👌

The design is superbly cute 🥰 . The pasta and pizza taste very good. I picked up the food, asked for a fork, they did not have single used ones. But, they gave me their metal fork, and told me I don’t have to bring it back as I was traveling there just for the night. So kind ❤️

Sehr laut. Man musste laut reden damit man sich versteht. Zu viele Menschen auf kleinstem Raum. Die Bedienung zeigt keine Emotionen. Der junge, der bedient hat sich noch nicht einmal auf das Trinkgeld gefreut. Das Essen ist mittelmäßig. Mein essen wear aber ok. Aber der Salat hatte so viel Knoblauch, dass ich eine heiße Attacke bekam.

I booked a table on November 2nd, it was my birthday and I wanted to celebrate it with my partner over a nice meal. When we got there there were already 8 people waiting for their reserved table! Despite Prosecco we left after waiting 40 minutes. It's a complete disgrace the way they treat guests there, I'll never enter this restaurant again!

Unfortunately not like it was a few years ago! The service staff seemed very unfriendly at first and then stressed, even though the store wasn't full! The fun factor and the friendly smile were missing, unfortunately!

Food and ambience very good. Service was perfect from reservation to service on site. Absolute recommendation!

Food very good 👍 and not too expensive either. Gladly again

Great food but the service seemed a bit slow.

Immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Super leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal und man bekommt für sein Geld auch die entsprechende Leistung. Gerne wieder.

Nourriture, service et ambiance sont très agréable !

Very good food. Service seemed a bit overwhelmed and some drink orders were only served after repeated requests. Rest really good.

Very good food. Waiting time normal, with too few staff for a Saturday evening. There was no porcini mushroom ravioli because there were no mushrooms. In the right area sauna temperatures and felt like there was no oxygen in the room. The waitress responded to our request and opened a window.

Excellent location, delicious food, friendly staff even when the house is full!

The restaurant and ambience is really good but my rump steak was cold (that could happen because it was cut) but the waiter's reaction was sh...;.."if you had ordered it medium it would have been warm..." I ordered it medium and the second one Trying it was cold again... OK. The waiter is always right 🫡

Nice ambience. The service wasn't friendly, but the food was good.

Empfehlenswert wer gehoben aber auch zu einem fairen Preis Essen gehen möchte. Die Fleischgerichte sind sehr zu empfehlen. Passen gut zum Wein. Bedienung war wie immer sehr gut. Finde auch gut das aktiv gefragt wird ob alles in Ordnung war und nach Verbesserungsvorschlägen. Interessiertes Personal :)

Das Ambiente und Personal ist super. Hatte hier Lamm bestellt. Garpunkt wurde getroffen und das Lammfleisch hatte ein guten Geschmack und war zudem sehr zart. Die Soße hat gut zum Gericht gepasst. Preislich auch im Mittelfeld.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und obwohl ich kein Fan von Wein bin hat mit den servierten im Restaurant sehr zufrieden. Etwas recherchiert und es qualitative nicht diese typischen günstigen Weine. Die Pasta und Pizza waren natürlich auch lecker, nicht nur der Alkohol. 😅

Lexkere original Italian cuisine and very nice service.

Mein bestelltes Essen war TOP und auch das meines Freunds, die Bedienung war TOP, die Preise passen , Ambiente TOP und schön

Haben hier ein Geburtstag gefeiert im kleinen Kreis mit einem Kumpel von mir. Tolle Locations, leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Das Geburtstagskind hat auch ein Dessert aufs Haus bekommen. Stimmung im Restaurant war sehr heiter, alle fröhlich.

Service gut und sehr Aufmerksam, Sehr hohe Geräuschpegel " Unterhaltung nicht möglich" Essen Mittelmässig.,Relativ hohe Preise

Friendly service. The food was TOP and the homemade pasta was great. Even though the ambience is great, it is a bit noisy when everything is full.

Unfortunately, at one event the buffet was not accessible from two sides, so there was quite a crowd. A la carte is probably very good, but the buffet didn't taste good. Unfortunately it was very monotonous, but maybe that was what the host wanted?!

I was here for an event. The service was overwhelmed by the number of guests. Unfortunately the food is mostly cold. Not really good, especially with fried food. Otherwise the location would be really nice.

Hatte hier jeweils einmal die Pizza und auch die Pasta. Beide gerichte sind sehr lecker. Zusätzlich hatte ich noch einen Wein zur empfehlung bekommen, dieser hat auch gut geschmeckt. Kartenzahlung war kein Problem und das Essen wurde schnell serviert.

Waren zu Acht vor Ort. Für uns wurden dementsprechend die Tische verschoben und auch Rücksicht genommen das wir mehrere sind beim Bestellen und servieren, Das Personal war immer sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen hat allen gefallen.

A real Italian restaurant! All the pasta is homemade here and you can taste it too! The service was as you would expect, super friendly, attentive and quick. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Of course, the focus is on the extremely delicious food, Everything we ate and saw at the neighboring tables looked like more and our dishes tasted exactly the same. It's rare to have such good quality at an absolutely reasonable price. I would go here again at any time and if I lived near Kassel I would be a new regular customer. It's nice that places like this still exist. The team from I want to say thank you to DAVINCI and keep it up.

Great food, nice people and nice terrace. What more could you want?

Very good Italian restaurant with a somewhat unusual menu and very attentive service. The outside terrace is very nice in summer.

The food was very good. Had a pizza, highly recommended. As a starter, a mixed starter plate. It was also delicious. Service was also good. Nice ambience.

Kann nur eine positive Bewertung und meinen Dank da lassen. Perfektes Ambiente. Waren zum Jahrestag mit meiner Frau hier und hatten einen besonderen Abend.

großartig, schönes Ambiente, sehr gutes Essen, toller Service und gute Preise, gerne wieder

Top! Ich musste geschäftlich in Kassel sein und wollte nicht nur gewöhnliches essen sondern mir auch etwas gönnen. Von der Pizza bis zum Dessert, alles sehr lecker und ansehnlich. Auch keine Probleme ein Bewirtungsbeleg zu bekommen.

The ambience is nice, the terrace offers enough space, even with a stroller. We were served nicely, even though we didn't get a card for 15 minutes because we were forgotten. The food is more expensive, but not necessarily justified: there was really little beef carpaccio, a little parmesan and olive oil on it and not salty at all, we would have to season it properly. Pizza wasn't convincing, the base was floppy, so I've eaten better and cheaper ones.

Sehr stillvolles und einladendes Ambiente. Das kleine rote Auto vor dem Eingang hat uns in das Restaurant gelockt und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Alles sehr lecker.

Nice place with a nice atmosphere. Very kind staff and excellent pizza (a Neapolitan from the health district says so). A pleasant evening. We also took the DAVINCI salad, appetizing.

Great location, it's nice to sit outside. Food very tasty, price level absolutely okay. Very courteous staff.

Delicious food and nice ambience. The service is sometimes problematic on weekends. Our main course didn't arrive at the same time (August 17, 2024; 45 minutes delay after the waiter commented twice). If it is too much or the system is not working properly, the customer should at least be made transparent about it. Given the “class” of the restaurant, that’s what I expect as a customer. Price-performance is still very good. Quality, but not “too” expensive!

Delicious food, the staff is very interested in the guests. We even got a candle against wasps, and when it started to drizzle, they immediately extended the awnings.

Immer wieder gerne! Konstant geschmackvolles Essen und toller Service!

Food was fantastic, service was very friendly, atmosphere was pleasant

Man sitzt dort einfach herrlich im Wintergarten oder wie jetzt bei schönen Wetter auf der Terrasse. Sehr leckere vielfältige Speisekarte und sehr freundlicher Service.

Very friendly service, great atmosphere

Great food, great service, great ambience, if we weren't from Trier this would be our favorite pizzeria.

The food was good, true. But, big BUT - we had reserved a group for the winter garden, when we came we were supposed to sit outside under the awning - in heavy rain and wind.⛈️🌬️ Great! When we asked, we were assigned a table in the winter garden, but probably only because another group had canceled. If someone makes a reservation for the winter garden and it is promised to them, then that should be the case, without asking again. Then the operator is not allowed to accept so many reservations, that's actually very simple. I basically sat with my back at a table for two, which means that the tables were far too close together, which creates an incredible background noise when the hut is full. By comfort I mean something completely different. Then we had to wait a long time, in my opinion far too long, for the food. Guests who arrived later received their food sooner, very strange. The boss expected understanding, with a full house and 150 seats. I'll put it this way: If the tables were at an 'acceptable' distance, there would perhaps only be 100 seats. But the tables were so close that the staff could hardly move between the guests. When the food finally came, some of the friends had to pass it on because the service couldn't make it to the table from behind due to the narrow space. But the big thing was the billing, the waitress got confused when listing things and complained because so many people were talking at once (but that could only have been from the surrounding tables). And ultimately, inexplicably, there was still an amount outstanding, even though everyone had truthfully listed what they had eaten. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Doesn't that sound like a nice, cozy evening? That's correct!!

Great food. Ambience great. World class service.

Die gemütliche Atmosphäre von Da Vinci haben wir sehr geschätzt. Das Essen war einfach fantastisch! Die Pasta war perfekt al dente und die Soße hatte genau die richtige Würze. Unser Kellner war freundlich und aufmerksam. Ich komme definitiv wieder!
