I am Celiac, wheat, casein (Milk allergy) and cross contamination can be an issue. I have to say Pepino (Chef and Owner), he really goes above and beyond to make sure the ingredients are safe. Both restaurants in Waltham and Sudbury are safe for me and the food is absolutely delicious! The presentation is beautiful. The staff in both restaurants are pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. You won’t be disappointed. Very satisfying meals. You won’t go hungry!

Appetizer: rice mushroom balls – I didn’t taste the rice, it was more of a bread and mushroom taste. Still good, but not exactly what I expected
Pastas were good, the masala ravioli- such an interesting take! Pleasantly surprised.
Gnocchi mushrooms- didn’t taste any mushrooms in there.

Italian for all ♥️
They had something for everyone, if you want to keep it lite or healthy or full filling.
Service was just amazing, during our visit one lady proactively managed the complete service for over 6 tables on a hot summer afternoon.
From Breads to drinks, you are given whatever you require, an extra hot oil, butter, cheese.
Food suggestions were exceptional and all required changes were accommodated inlined with dietary restrictions.
I loved the Arancini, and my virgin mint mojito. Served made me try an out of menu dish of shrimp scampi. Quantity was beyond my appetite.
Gnocchi was vegetarian, and Armoniche was well crafted with Italian accents.
We also got complimentary on the house dessert for the birthday party.
Overall a good place for a meal.

Really enjoyed the food at DaVinci Ristorante. The Masala Parm with lots of Indian flavors was one of my favorites, the quantities were sufficient, we didn’t have a lot of leftovers to take home. The Arancini was great, and the gnocchi too, left a delicious taste in your mouth. We enjoyed the desserts too. We always order food from Peppinos and when we realized this restaurant was being run by the same management- we knew we won’t be disappointed

Fantastic restaurant and bar! Chef Ravi is personable and talented and food is unique, delicious, and beautifully presented. Head bartender Brendan knows his stuff and gives excellent customer service. Restaurant was packed even on a weeknight and is well worth the value. Bathroomsbare spacious and clean. Loved the European-style atmosphere and highly recommend! Gluten free options readily available, too. You won’t be disappointed.

COME HERE!!! Courtney, Ravi & Arber are INCREDIBLE! Amazing customer service, food and atmosphere is fantastic. I was super sad when Charcoal Guido’s closed at this location but was pleasantly surprised when this place exceeded my expectations at every turn. Atmosphere: They don’t stuff you in here like sardines like before and the lighting is better. Food: I mean, you like Italian, you’ll love it here. The menu will satisfy your Italian food cravings. Arancini is top notch. My friend got chicken parm and I got the Lasagna – yes, generic Italian food but I had to try the staples, come on. Honestly, I can’t wait to go back to try many of the other menu options. HOMEMADE LEMONCELLO?! Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes. We had the Blood Orange lemoncello and Watermelon lemoncello. Absolute perfection. Service: I felt like I was the only one in the restaurant. So attentive, helpful with the menu and patient with my dumb questions lol. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the food because I ate it too fast. I did, however, remember to take pics of the drinks, bread, and my ugly mug.

Absolutely amazing! Food, service, atmosphere.. everything was 10/10! My husband and I came in with our two year old and we were blown away. The food and drinks were amazing. We typically go to the north end for Italian but will definitely be coming here from now on. The staff was excellent they truly go above and beyond, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. We can’t wait to come back!

I’ve given this place multiple chances, but each time, I leave feeling disappointed. I’ve tried both takeout and dining in, and overall, it’s just not worth the price.
My takeout experience was especially bad. I ordered the pork cordon bleu, which comes with broccoli and mashed potatoes, but the order was packed poorly. The pork was squished on top of the potatoes, so by the time I got home, everything was soggy.
I also tried the orecchiette pasta with sausage and broccoli. It was bland and underwhelming. The sauce was watery, and the sausage was ground so finely that it didn’t pair well with the pasta at all. It felt like a dish made with very little care or effort—definitely not what I expect from a restaurant.
It’s a shame, since this place is so close to me, but I won’t be returning.
