Da Vinci Ristorante brings the wonderful flavors and ambiance of Italy to its perch between the South End and the Back Bay. Chef-owner Peppino's menu blends modern and classic cuisine from his years training in Europe's Italian restaurants - beautifully presented antipasti as well as house-made pastas, breads and desserts.

The dining room, outfitted in warm hues of brown ochre, is simultaneously elegant and welcoming. An expanded bar area features low couches and comfy chairs where patrons can get cozy over a glass of wine from the extensive list or cocktails named after Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous works - the Mona Lisa or the Last Supper. During the summer months, guests are welcome to enjoy cocktails or dinner on the outdoor patio.
