Mare e monte pizza Net +1

“I had the "Mare e Monte" pizza which is hands-down the best seafood pizza I've ever had. When given an option for crust size I usually go with a thin crust but that can be too thin this time I didn't ask and was rewarded with the perfect crust. Also the balance of cheese and tomato was perfect - not too much of either which is just how I prefer it.”

What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

Carpaccio Net −1

“The dishes are lovely, however we don't recommend the carpaccio as it was a whole lot of nothing, especially for the price we paid.”
Risotto ai funghi Net −1

“The complimentary bread was stale and barely edible, but what's more disappointing is that the pizza was greasy yet not rich in flavor and the risotto ai funghi was just rice with mushroom flavored water.”

The Bottom Line

Da Vinci’s is a long-running Italian restaurant in Al Garhoud at the Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai, with a cozy, classic setting that reviews compare to a welcoming family restaurant. You can come for handmade-style pasta, pizza, seafood dishes or a more occasion-led meal in a private room. The restaurant has been part of Dubai’s Italian dining scene since 1989, according to one returning guest.

The strongest dish-specific feedback centres on the Spaghetti alla Vongole, praised for fresh clams and well-cooked pasta, while the Signature Pizza, Lobster Linguine, lasagna and tiramisu also receive enthusiastic mentions. Burrata is highlighted as a standout starter. Valet parking is available, and the background Italian music and painted décor add to the atmosphere.

Gluten-free requests have been accommodated, although one diner wanted a broader selection. Service is often described as warm and attentive, but it has not been flawless. A recent review reported a wrong order, cold steak and a pasta wait of more than 20 minutes, while other diners found the pizza greasy, bland or poorly made.

Beer selection is reportedly limited, though ales may be sourced from the neighbouring Biggles pub. If you want a quieter meal, arriving early may help; one guest found the room mostly empty then.
