Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
DaVinci & Yu delights with its innovative Italian-Asian fusion menu, offering standout dishes like "the cacio e pepe miso," "orange chicken parm," and "ube espresso martini." The ambiance is "beautiful," and the staff is "wonderfully attentive." While some dishes need refining, the overall experience is "unique" and "memorable."

    Food was ok. Asian with Italian fusion doesn’t seem to work in harmony with the entrees that we got. The brisket was average and the duck meatballs were tasty. The appetizers were better. Black cod dumplings were excellent. The service was outstanding. Our server was accommodating and patient. We were all impressed with the attention and detail. We will try the brunch and excited for the chicken and waffles. See you soon.

    Lovely gem of a restaurant! Cool decor. Our server Jamie was fabulous. I felt like I was with my best friend. Food was good, needs a little refining to drive the Italian/Asian theme home. For example, the cannoli was not well executed. Perhaps a ginger filling? Just a thought. Loved the ube espresso martini!

    Great new restaurant! Service was courteous and quick. They have an ube espresso martini that is unique and delicious! The shrimp toast, Kung pao bao buns, cacio e pepe miso, Duck Meatballs over upon noodles, Orange chicken parm and Adobo Stinco are all must orders. The flavors go together so well, what a great concept! I can't wait to go back!

    Never been more excited to try and restaurant after seeing it on social media, so I had kinda high expectations and DiVinci & Yu met every single one of those! Everything was incredible, the waitstaff were kind and knowledgeable, and the food was incredible. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

    It was difficult to decide what to order! The food was all very creative and I’d say the Japanese influence was muted in some dishes (would be okay to be bolder!). Service felt rushed but otherwise a great dinner, would definitely return to try more.

    Great concept but not very well executed. Was so excited for the miso cacio Pepe but couldn’t taste the miso at all. Burrata sushi was very small. Food was fine, but too pricey for the quality.

    The Italian Asian fusion thing blows my mind. It seems somewhat confusing in theory, but delectable to the pallet. Owners couldn’t have been nicer. Staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Innovative.
