Review Villa Da Vinci Restaurant - Ballajura

First time here and really enjoyed it. Everything was tasty and service was nice and fast. Servings were very generous aswell. Can't wait to go back and try all the pizzas on the menu! Definitely recommend

The food was great and I love the atmosphere of the place

We had a wonderful birthday party lunch. The chilli mussels are to die for. The steak was cooked to perfection. The portions are very generous. The atmosphere and the service was excellent. Highly recommended. Making arrangements to take other members of my family for lunch soon.

Great quality food. Love the calamari (order entree size if you want dessert) Be aware portions are not small for majority of dishes. Staff are welcoming and friendly. This is my go to when visiting family in WA for both dinner and lunch.

Tonight I ordered through website thinking it was being delivered. After food not arriving I called the restaurant to be told for delivery you have to order through Uber eats not the website as that is pick up. The man on the phone who was very pleasant said he would speak to his manager. They then asked for my address and said they would send a staff member with the food. With in 15 minutes I had a man at the door dressed like a chef with our food. Also the food was amazing. That is the best customer service you could ask for.

Came for lunch yesterday, and wow I was blown away. The garlic bread was absolutely to die for, and the pasta was some of the best I’ve ever had. Coupled with amazingly friendly and personable service from a young waitress, the entire experience was marvellous. I will definitely be back, thank you Villa Da Vinci! Cheers, James Joseph Stewart

Great did, terrific atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and service was great. They really looked after our group (of ten, plus 2 toddlers). Everyone said they enjoyed their meal.

Excellent location, easy parking and beautiful outdoor scenery. Steak was cooked to perfection, Chilli mussels are to die for, definitely return to try the other dishes on the menu. Friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend

We always love coming to Villa's - the food is amazing and such generous portions. But we love the service the best, girls are always friendly and attentive - very quick to take orders and the food comes quickly too. Love it!

Such amazing service and delicious food (not to mention huge portions)! We have been several times and will continue to go back. Highly recommend!

Love this place, have been there many times, and can't fault it, the food, atmosphere and staff are 10 out of 10 :-)

First time at villa da Vinci found the food and staff great value. Seating was a little squishy but that is my only fault. Top job to the management �

Excellent Food great service ���. Only change is get new wine glasses and charge small corkage to cover cost of breakage maybe?

The best quality at a reasonable cost and BYO makes for even better value

排餐牛排超正點，白醬超級濃郁，海鮮燉飯跟白醬燉飯大推，pizza滿滿都是料，很棒的一間餐廳吃好幾次了

This place has the worst food. It is definitely not Italian food people, do not be fooled! Every Nonna in Perth would be laughing! Cheap rubbish, slopped together by unqualified teenagers. Expect food poisoning. Villa Da Caca!!

I was there with some friends maybe 18months ago or there about to celebrate a birthday.....there was probably 15 to 20 of us and the service I found was pathetic Meals never came out together they just come out when they were ready and evidently some people had eaten their meals before others received theirs By the time the last meal came out they had forgotten about mine so I ended with some rushed out slop Never again will I go there or recommend this restaurant to anyone I hope it's better since then for their sakes

Good food good staff love the outside seating

First time at this gorgeous restaurant, food was delicious!! Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was buzzing with happy families and couples enjoying themselves, a great place to hold an event to! I can imagine summer sitting outside with beautiful big maple trees surrounding you, which I'll definitely do this year :)

Always enjoy coming here. Big meals, friendly staff. Always greeted with a smile and always leave with a full belly!

Fantastic Service, Food was exceptional Clam Chowder was to die for! Raved about it all day today , lovely relaxed atmosphere, cant wait to revisit. highly recommended.

A nice little Italian restaurant in the burbs. Massive servings. Friendly staff. And affordable prices. Even better they are byo alcohol and don’t charge you corkage.

My favorite restaurant. Great waitstaff, large servings. Beautiful location across from the lakes and you can sit outside with great coffee and cakes. I would highly recommend.

An excellent local italian eatery. I have been to Villa Da Vinci a number of times over the years and have yet to have a meal at fault. Service is always attentive and portion sizes are good.

We got there around 8.30 pm and noticed that the staff were packing up and cleaning but mentioned kitchen still open, we ordered spaghetti alla Vongole and fettuccine da Vinci. Both dishes were great, plenty of nice seafood and generous portions. Found that it needed Parmesan cheese to accentuate the taste of both dishes. Spaghetti was a tad bit salty tho. Service could have been better, staff were very distracted and somehow not so professional. $55 for 2 dishes only was a bit high for Ballajura.

Just had the best chicken parmigiana of my life here. My husband ordered his favourite, the paella, and was happy as always. The pollo Picasso salad is also a fantastic choice. You do question if a salad is worth $31 but you do not leave regretting the purchase. Villa Da Vinci’s is a bit pricey, we definite don’t come on a regular basis, but the food is exceptional.

Villa da Vinci is a beautiful Italian restaurant <br/>The meals are huge . Great value for money and delicious hearty meals highly recommend this place .. delicious

Nice staff great atmosphere. I enjoyed my spicey chilli mussels. My wife's well done steak came out medium rare besides that we enjoyed our time and will go back.

Great Italian in Ballajura,  always have a great meal here, have been going for years now.   Love the Fettucine Da Vinci and the Pollo Picasso Salad - everyone always has a great meal here.  The pizza's are great for the kids.  Staff warm and friendly.  Have had a couple of large special birthday celebrations - booked the alfresco area, they have always been accommodating to our requirements.  thanks guys

Thoroughly disappointed. Came here with high expectations because of the good reviews and long lines. <br/><br/>Pizza dough base was soft and floppy with an unusual burned ring running along the crust that tasted bitter. When you finish the toppings the crust simply breaks off the dough with toppings on. <br/><br/>Cheese used stuck together like glue - taking one small bite of the cheese actually pulls of an entire chunk. <br/><br/>Sorry, won’t ever be back. This is NOT italian pizza.. if you want Italian pizza, go to “Solo Pizza”

Hearty food, big servings. Generally quite tasty and satisfying and the food always taste fresh. Pizza and pasta special nights are worthwhile and I would recommend visiting during these times. The cakes (when made in-house) are really nice too! Try the sticky-date pudding cake with ice cream if it is there when you visit next!

Really nice food. Very enjoyable dining experience overall. A little on the pricey side for family dining but totally worth it as everything was delicious and generous portions. Will defintely return.

Dined here after hubby recommended it. There were 6 of us, we ordered chilli mussel as entree; theses were amazing and the biggest serving ever! Nice and fresh, just enough spice: mains we ordered 3 Chateubriand, two vegetarian pastas and a soup of the day. <br/>The Chateubriand was delicious ! The meat was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and creamy and the vegetables cooked spot on. The mushroom Jus was one of the nicest I've had. <br/>Our only complaint was that the place was not licenced, therefore had to go to bottle shop as we were not aware. Also it wouldn't hurt if they lit the place up a little more, it was quite dark and gloomy. But over all was excellent and will definitely be back!

Hands down best place for dinner anytime of the week. Beautiful alfresco lakeside dining area. Food is fresh, tasty and will leave you full for days!! The parmigiana is probably the biggest one I've ever seen, worth coming here just for that! And if you have any qualms with the service, ask for Joe (owner) and he'll treat you like royalty :) Best local Italian ever

I have been here twice and the food is amazing! I had pastas both the times i was here and it was real good. It was the only two chicken pasta dishes on the menu. Havent tried the pizzas but would love to give it a go. The portion sizes are large. The wait staffs are friendly. Outdoor seating is recommended by me as it has a great vibe. A must go if u r around the area!

We had dinner here last night.  The food was excellent.  We love they don't charge for corkage.  The service was quite good apart from one waitress who was very rude and just slammed the wine glasses down on the table without even looking at us.  Her attitude needs improvement.  Apart from that we really enjoyed it.

The best Italian restaurant i've ever been 👏🏻 Nice staff,nice chef and nice food 😊 Love the pasta and the chilli muscle ❤💋 A great place to have dinner with family or friends :)

Love how easy and local this place is! Been here a lot and majority of the times food & service is great. A favourite is definitely the chilli mussels and deserts..<br/>Update 2019 - food quality has definitely gone down hill recently, pizza tonight was oily and the base was extremely floppy also 2nd time in a row chilli mussels have not been available. Hopefully next time it’s better!

Went here for dinner last saturday night, we had the golden calamari for entree and then i had the chateaubriand and the wife chilli muscles, the calamari was light and fluffy with a great taste but the best part was the yummy dipping sauce.<br/>my chateaubriand wow one of the best steaks i have ever had, so tender and such a awesome bbq taste,  great mushrooms and potatoes 10/10<br/>the wife loved her chilli muscles and she ordered some garlic bread to dip into the sauce, normally you get 3 slices not at this place you get what seems like half a loaf of crusty bread, great value<br/>this place always delivers and you know it does because its always full.<br/>only downfall to this place is it is too packed and so you get a lot of crowd noise, definitely not a relaxed atmosphere when you got to struggle to hear people in your group talking but if you like a lively place with great food this is it.

Went here last night and the food is good but the service was pretty bad really , all the food came hot and at the same time and like I said was good but the service was a 1 out of 5 for me , like the byp tho

Friends of ours have been raving about Villa Da Vinci for years but we hadn't tried it until recently - now we love it! We usually order a few different dishes and share amongst us. Most recent visit was a Wednesday pizza & pasta specials night and we fed 4 adults and a very hungry 2 year old for $82! Great value for money, generous portion sizes, friendly service and BYO with NO corkage! They also do takeaway. Highly recommend for a quality family friendly local meal. Definitely a new favourite.

Never going here again. Our local restaurant really takes advantage of cornering the market in our suburb of Ballajura. There is a saying that you get what you pay for however in this instance, the ridiculously over priced menu (which never changes) failed to deliver. Their prices are extortionist. We paid $20 alone for two serves of fresh bread - three slices a serve. That's $3.33 a slice! The fact that it's three slices on a plate is miserly too - forcing people to purchase additional serves! And my spaghetti with clams was quite revolting. <br/>This is not the first time we have been here but, considering the new, exciting and cost effective options opening over Perth - it will be our last.

We attanded an engagement party here the food was fabulous the service was excellent. I <br/>Fully recommend this place to any one that wants great italian food and pizza

Service staff was terrible. Failed to answer to my "how are you" and just wanted to know who the reservation was under in a quiet restaurant. Staff seemed more eager to socialise with each other. And brang our mains out while we still had our entrees and no new cutlery was brought, had to ask. <br/><br/>The bruschetta was pretty terrible. No glaze on the plate and the lack of olive oil made it very dry. The oysters were fantastic however. <br/>For mains we had the rack of lamb. I asked for medium rare and was served well done. Others asked for medium rare and was served half raw. I did mention this to them and was told that they would tell the kitchen. However despite the failure on the protein. The sides were delicious, seasoned perfectly,and was very delicious. <br/><br/>Desserts were huge serves. And fantastic. I'm about 50/50 with this place, the food has the potential to be fantastic but the waitstaff were terrible. Especially when they tried to stack 7 plates on top of each other to clear the table and were almost dropping cutlery just looked tacky.

Our local favourite! And probably my favourite spot for italian. Soooo good! I love the pasta and the salads here. Good service and quick food... Freshly cooked too! :)

Even though i had to wait a little bit for the food it has never disappointed. Best Italian restaurant I've been too. I would defiantly rate this above expensive places like Moto Maio at the Crown Casino

The service here is appalling, our orders were taken an hour after we arrived and also struggled to ask for water for the table! The food was typically like any other Italian restaurant in its league. BTW the chicken parmigiana is not made in house, it comes from a frozen box made in a factory and deep fried to order.

RACIST THIS DAY AND AGE??!!<br/>We arrived with party of 9 and were greeted with disgusted looks by one front waitress. Another waitress came and took our order who didn't want to be there but was pleasant enough. <br/>Ordered seafood of the day (large serving but no taste), scallopini funghi (large serving very buttery and rich in flavour), steak with prawns (cooked well and prawns were nice), 2x pizza (below average with little flavour), barramundi (dry) and few other dishes - other tables around us got spoken to politely and friendly chit chat. Ours was hurry up and order!<br/>Food arrived after another party who came in after us were served.<br/>Service was terrible, food was ok and atmosphere was bland. <br/>Maybe we didn't fit in because we weren't locals or the colour of our skin but if you're asian your probably not welcome here (I'm an AUSTRALIAN BORN asian). Never will I be back there again! Feel offended...<br/>

Found a hair in my mussels and told them , wasn't offers any bread , and at the end of the bill wasn't offer any discount won't be coming back . And no music or ambience in restaurant .

Don't waste your time. Waited Over 1 hr for main meals, still with 2 peoples meal not ready so waited another 20 minutes. The staff didn't check to see if we needed drinks or to order anything else. We had to get their attention for service or lack of it. When I finally got my pasta it was horrible had to much water in it so it was like a soup. Half the ingredients were missing from what was on the menu.<br/>Waste of my time and money!!!!!!!

Food was not an appetizing, chili mussels was a big portion, but no taste for the sauce, mussels were very small, Chicken Caesar Salad had big chucky parmesans, dry chicken other dishes were okay noting to rave about it. To be honest if you are looking for quantity of the food this is the restaurant for you, but if you are looking for QUANLITY of food they are way too far!

Rang up to make a take away order and they had nothing on the menu I ordered. Mite want to change your menu on here villa davinci . Not sure what to order?

A Regular! Love Love Love. The service is amazing, the portions are huge when you just need a big fat bowl of pasta in front of you and it's BYO. They have plenty of space, so last minute reservations for two are usually fine. The salads are even delicious, if you want to be good. I could not recommend this place enough, especially on a Sunday night when you're not in the mood to cook.

I visited on Sunday 4th January for a set menu dinner to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday. We had a table for 14 in the alfresco area which was spacious and a beautiful setting. The staff were wonderful on the night and in the lead up to the surprise dinner, including producing a personalised printed menu for the occasion and handling I'm sure many, many phone calls and emails with my father who isn't the best at communicating and organising things. The food was delicious, every course was beautifully presented with large servings and the timing of each course was perfect. The staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. Everyone had great things to say, even some harder to please relatives, so well done on impressing them! I look forward to coming back often. (I'll try and add a pic of the menu if the app allows)

Food was amazing. This is such a nice restaurant, the food is fantastic. Try the Saltimbocca Romana – yum!

Overall great. Came in on a friday couple weeks back , very pleased with the food and service. The food was great with massive portions and reasonable prices i had the chicken pami and my partner had a barramundi and king prawns dish. The only let down was two staff members being extremly affectionate later on throughout the night. i view this as very un professional and quite disturbing. I dont understand how the manager does not see this as a wrong!!!!!

Horrid. I have tried this restaurant twice and it's really hard to find a good thing to say. The wait service is non existent. There is no ambience, and it's absolutely deafening. No chance of any conversation as everyone in the place is yelling. Also no drinks menu...BYO or soft drink????<br/>Food was slow and cold and came out at different times. Definitely wouldn't recommend or return.

Best salad I have ever had.... Dined here tonight with my husband and another couple. Service was fast. Ordered Chilli Mussels and a Margharita Pizza with Italian sausage for entrees. Both were delicious. Pizza definately one of Perth tops. The Thai Beef salad was to die for. Was absolutely delicious, flavoursome, fresh and filling. Best salad in Perth.

Food was good overall but steak was over cooked and seafood dish was really hard to eat. Service was terrible tonight. 2 entrees came out half an hour apart, and mains were another 40mins later.

Waiting waiting. It has been an hour so far

WOW Class Act. I tip my hat to you, I have been here maybe 10 times over the years, it just keeps getting better, i have eaten at many restaurants in perth and over seas and this is up with the best of them, the food is delicious has so much flavour and portions are very good, no wonder this place is in the middle of the suburbs not even in a restaurant area and its still packed nearly all week long.<br/>went with my partner last night and had the chateaubriand and the fettucini da vinci, wow best meals in a long time, steak was tasty cook to perfection, sauce was to die for. fettucini was amazing the prawns were huge, <br/>This place knows how to do food..Thank you

Best reef n beef in perth! Good restaurant!

Great italian food, very bad coffee. Let me start off saying for the price you pay you get big portions of quality fresh food. The service is pretty good. Have been here numerous times. Owner is a bit out there and should learn to be less hands on with customers.<br/><br/>The pizza is some of the north of the river.<br/><br/>The big drawback is the coffee. They use a machine that doesn't make cream in an espresso and makes it like water. Anyone with a coffee background or an Italian background will loose it over it. Only drawback

Da Vinccis. I love this place good food, service and atmosphere best Italian place :P

Recommended. From personal experiences with friends and family, Villa Da Vinci staff have always been exceptional and the price for their food is very reasonable. I recommend the lamb shanks or any of their amazing pizzas.

Been here a few times food has been amazing, service is great and caters to all needs. Can't wait to return :)

Great food...decent prices...awesome service!! Pollo Marsala was amazing!!

My favourite restaurant!. I have never had a Penne Arribiata as good as from here. It is amazing! The Pollo Picaso salad is also up there and the best salad I've ever had. Love the byo drinks. Hubby can even bring some beers. And there is no corkage. I love there is also a takeaway menu if we want to be sloths on the couch at home.

Great food, good service, large servings be coming again!

Bruchetta average, service slow and below average, pizaa too salty amd oily!!

Salads to die for. Villa Da Vinci makes the best salads i have ever come across in my whole life. maybe its the dressing or the way they are made but definitely made by a skillful chef who puts lots of love into his work. worth coming to try!

The Service was good. The servings were huge!! The food was tasty. You feel like for once you get your money's worth. A little noisy but you're satisfied when walking out of the restaurant.

Never been let down by the authentic and gourmet Italian food from here. Althought I've heard it's a bad place ice been here several times every year and there service has been fantastic we get our drinks and entrees within 5-10 sitting down then minutes after we have our food. Highly recommend the penne pesto con pollo good serving size flavor is amazing and it's ok priced. Had my 21st here out In the alfresco and they got all of us 40 ppl fit in apart from waiting for a whole to be served within 15 minutes we ALL had our food. Can't complain thanks guys will always come back

Went here last night for an 18th dinner party out of the 13 of us only 3 enjoyed their meals. The "Texas Ribs" taste like vegemite, the prawns in the garlic prawns tasted off, the chilli calamari although tasted and cooked well definitely had no chilli, chicken Parma was very thin. Wouldn't recommend this place and will not be going back again.

Local fav. Villa Da Vinci is the closest italian restaurant near my place besides Topolinis. Although I am not a regular here, but I do visit this place on numerous ocassions. The food is always great, and the serving is huge! I always struggle to finish my main when I order entree. A must try is the nutty caramel sundae! It was amazing.

My mum, her friend and I had decided to book a table at the last minute, left a message on their answering machine but didn't get a call back so we braved it and went there as soon as they opened. They somehow didn't get my message, but they were very accommodating on such a busy night (at least 3 or 4 big groups on that night), made us comfortable and brought us in. We were all very thankful. Food sizing is VERY generous and very competitive prices. Food came out quite fast and soooo delicious and full of flavour. Will DEFINITELY be coming back. Don't forget it is BYO and no corkage fee. And did I mention they do split billing? <br/>All in all I give this place a 10/10

Worst restaurant ever! Will never go back to this restaurant again. We went on a Wednesday night supposedly their special night for pizza, pasta and mussels... We got there at 6.30. Tried to order mussels and got told they had no mussels for the night. 2 hours later when we finished our meal the table near us got mussels?!? Okay... (Confused?) <br/><br/>Anyways my husband asked the waitress if that was mussels... She said 'yes but they're sold out for the night?' <br/><br/>When we went to pay for our meal we asked to speak to the manager... The guy who we assumed to be the manager was supposedly the owner and we got a young girl claiming to be the manager instead. She gave us a sob story that they had a late delivery and that's the reason why they have mussels now. It was 8.30pm. Who delivers at 8 o'clock? And if that was the case why was there 3 tables with chilli mussels and my husband being told its sold out once again at the time when he asked. Don't appreciate being lied to....Its plain rude! <br/><br/>Food wise average... <br/><br/>Ciao Italia in South Perth and Spaghi in Applecross are just a couple of restaurants that I would recommend you to try and make the trip, where you would get quality food and service.

Always a great meal. well priced and great variety<br/>although when sitting out the front, find on multiple occasions u get forgotten about and have to go inside to get someone.

Yum!. We love this place very yummy, huge portions never had a problem with it.

Loves it!!!!!!!!!. This place is amazing and a personal favorite which I would go back to time and time again! Great family restaurant which is very inviting. <br/><br/>The food is always of an exceptional quality and definitely worth every dollar! I have tried also numerous dishes and have never had a complaint they are all delicious.One of my personal favorite dishes being the lasagna however. I also went their for a Christening and they had platters of amazing high quality food, I would definitely also reccomend it for any birthdays or occasions. <br/><br/>Service is impeccable and they are always prompt. Food is delivered always in a quick time frame. <br/><br/>Great place to go in summer as well because you can sit outside in the beautiful weather and look over at the park which the kids can play at too!

Good family restaurant. My partner and I came here recently with my daughter because we just wanted a quick and filling feed. For a starter we got the turkish bread and dips, which is a definite favourite for me, and the garlic prawns which were very good. For our mains we got a carbonara which my partner raved about and I got the salmon special which was amazing. The food came out very quickly which was excellent as my daughter didn't have to wait very long for her meal. We came here again tonight and got the turkish bread and dips again and got a pizza and a chicken pasta for our mains. The pasta was HUGE and definitely worth the money. Villa da Vinci is very family orientated, the waitresses are lovely and the meals are great value for money.

Every time I got to villas the service is always great but the food vary"s recently the food for me has been going downhill

We all enjoyed a great meal tonight. Quick service, good quality food and well priced.

We spent a pleasant australia day/eve at villa da vinci. The staff were friendly and prompt and it was no trouble at all to present my 3 year old sons pepper pig cake with all the bells and whistles and without the begrudging "cakeage" fee that many restaraunts see fit to slug you for. Stupid me read the reviews prior. Silly coz i knew without being told that a tucked away local italian restaraunt off the main drag and overlooking a lovely park and lake would be popular...and yes noisy and yes catering to a less, shall we say refined palate. But if you want perfect rissoto in 20 minutes...you will be disappointed anywhere you look. I<br/> had the barramundi and patted myself on the back for ordering the overbearing sauce to be well contained on the side.<br/>I will say though...less is sometimes more. The massive servings must add to what i and many other contributers have singled out is that is expensive for not necessarily the finest, freshest produce cooked to far from white linen gourmet. Shave 1/3 off each meal and either shave the price accordingly or match it at the market with local , fresh produce.

Just got back from the most wonderful meal. We have been patrons a number of times and have come away satisfied but not in awe. Tonight was something else. I had the Barramundi and King Prawns which in my opinion was the best fish dish I've eaten in a long while. Possibly ever. The fish was sublime and the brandy, garlic cream sauce matched perfectly. The scalloped potatoes were the best ever. The serving was huge. <br/>My wife's spaghetti vongole was delicious too. I admit I didn't have much of hers as I was too preoccupied with mine. <br/>It was such a lovely experience that I'd be happy to go back (can't wait in fact). Very happy to recommend this to others.

Generous and best value for money meal iv had in a long time!!!!

Average, overpriced and unoriginal.<br/>Dinner with friends last Friday; the highlight was the company and our own BYO wine. <br/>Entree; minestrone soup. Like a bland pasta sauce and it was served luke warm with a dessert spoon in a large flat bowl, without bread. Ate maybe 1/3 before I lost interest completely. Main: chicken marsala with 1 stalk of very cold brocolini and sweet potato mash, drowned in what I suspect was a blend of tinned tomatoes and cream only. Ate 1/2 anyway. Skipped dessert as there was nothing good offered. My husband had the apple pie, you know the ones they mass produce and sell in every single cafe and restaurant in Perth ....yawn.<br/>We asked for a table outside and it was way too dark. 1 or 2 candles on the table isn't too much to ask.<br/>Menu; boring. Food; also boring. Service; staff amateur and bored.

Never had a bad meal there ever. The food is lovely. I go there at least once a month. I take my clients, friends, family & workplace hierarchy there. It's that good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic. Well what a night. Top class food, service and quality. After reading the bad reviews I thought this place has gone down hill because it's been a while since I've been. We had a table of 20 last night, 24 August 2012 and could not fault any of it.<br/><br/>The pizzas were the best we all had anywhere, and whilst the prices seem high at first, the portion and quality soon fixes that up. And no corkage. Big saving on a group of 20. Plus they have a cute private room for up to 40 people. Great coffe too. Well done guys.

Always delivers. Been going here for years. always good service, even on busy nights. big servings and great atmosphere. prices have gone up a bit in the last few years, but its still a family favourite and would recommend to anyone. get the sirloin steak or the thai beef salad! om nom nom

The meal was of a good standard but for the price $26 entre $39 main you would expect the decor to be a little more suphisticated than wooden tables and no clothe the meal it self was good quality bit as usual in Perth did not match the price tag! Having just come back from Melbourne where the same meal was about 2/3 the price and equal if not better quality this fact does stick on my throat as many others have commented of you want a quiet meal then this is not the place to go VERY LOUD

$35 for a baramundi soaked in half a bottle of olive oil and some slimy potatoes.... I cant get the bad taste out of mouth.

Last visit. Have been going to this restaurant for years-always been extremely noisy (notice they have carpet down now to reduce noise), but has also had good value food.<br/><br/>Not anymore. Went there Thurs 14/6/12 and what an awful experience. Sticky tables...what's that about?<br/>Ordered some chicken breast dish in 'grape' sauce-there were a couple of grapes chucked on the plate.<br/>That is not grape sauce, but I suppose it did make the dried chicken breast look better?<br/>Another dish ordered was the beef parmigiana-my god, what an overcooked (& priced @ $27.90) tough, brown blob of a mess.<br/>The salad presented with our meals was full of sand....not just a random grain...FULL of crunch.<br/>On mentioning this to our waitress, she came back and said the chef will offer a $7 discount off the meals. How big of him. He serves sand and substandard food and he thinks $7 will make it right.<br/>$73 for absolute garbage...you have to be kidding me.<br/><br/>I would think there has been a change in management......lower quality and higher prices.<br/><br/>Won't be back......please, good people of Perth, say no to this awful food some restaurants are producing for big dollars, and go elsewhere with your hard earned money.<br/><br/>Of course, this is my recent and personal experience expressed here.....you can make up your own mind, but looking at these recent reviews.............

My review... Quite overpriced, but delicious food, fantastic service and the owner is very friendly. pasta dishes are divine at villa da vinici, would ask for sauce on steak/chicken/fish on the side, tend to drench the food in it. otherwise really great :)

Hmm.... Good "Italian" food, but very overpriced. <br/><br/>I used to love this place, mostly out of convenience because it is close to where I live, but the service and efficiency seems to have diminished markedly over the last six months. I'm wondering if there has been a change in management.<br/><br/>Disappointed.

Food is average typical suburban restaurant, I just find this place way to noisie it's like your sitting in a food hall. I won't be dinning in again, maybe takeaway

Brilliant, please and going again!. First time there last week Friday with my partner, meals were fabulous ate everything, I had the chicken parmigiana, and my partner had a dish a cannot recollect the name but it had a pastry base and inside were mussels with a green sauce, he said he loved it, was salty the way he liked it! also great service, the staff very friendly and polite! Definitely going back!

Went for the second time. The chilli mussels were sublime! Some of the best ever taken. The Saltimbocca Romana was delicious and substantial. The only drawback was my wife's paella. It was salty to the point of being virtually unpalatable. When I queried this with the staff she explained that a few customers had similar remarks, however the seafood nature of the dish made it saltier. I feel if they are going to take this line and stick to their guns with the recipe, then a warning on the menu or from waitstaff might be a good idea. That said the staff were great and we will be back.

Service with smile. Food was nice. What impressed me was their service. I requested steamed vegies for my dad. It was not on the menu. They brought it out just the way we requested..other dishes were good too

If this is your best local...go for a drive.. MrandMrsPatel were recently dragged here by friends afraid of a trip to the servo...to disastrous effect. Salads so salty as to be inedible, large serves of tasteless pasta are hardly a positive feature. Not only this, but the food was also more expensive than better Italian's, though you may have to drive out of Ballajura...<br/><br/>Even if this had been free we would rather have eaten at home. Never letting our friends choose again, they may not even be friends...<br/><br/>Go to Sandrino...or KFC.

Ate here about a month ago after hear rave reviews. Unfortunately we weren't all that impressed. Service was good & food came out promptly and yes, large serves but totally tasteless and bland!! Usually you can aim for some garlic flavor but there was none! I had the marinara & hubby had a creamy pasta (can't recall the name) we ate half... Left disappointed!

Nice enough. This is our local and it's handy, cheap and you can byo. The food is mostly very nice and so is the serivce. I wouldn't go her for an important dinner - but for a cheap night out, with good food, it fits the bill.

FANTASTIC- WHAT MORE COULD WE SAY. What a fantastic surprise to find a restaurant that actually delivers what you ordered and more! The food was excellent-wood fired rack of lamb- the best in Perth we've had and delicious gourmet pizzas. It is impossible to eat it all as the sevings are huge. Its not just the quantity you get,the quality is freh and tasty. The service we got was superb- no wander its packed out whenever we go AAAAA+

This is a great hidden treasure it offers BYO and theeala are very generous in size the wait staff are keen to help and there is always a buz in the place the out side os much quieter but in side is where it os happening if you are looking to a quiet meal for two this is not your place if you want to catch up with friends for a good time And good quality food then look no further. The shanks are to die for!

I had dinner at this restaurant tonight and left feeling very disappointed. Very poor service and average food. The waitresses didn't know their menu well, we asked a question about a dish and we're given an 'I dont know' as opposed to an 'I'll find out for you'. Although there were plenty of waiters available, none of them seemed to want to make eye contact or acknowledge us so getting their attention proved to be difficult. We asked to speak to the manager as one of our dishes was unsatisfactory and simply offered our feedback to him that the dish was too salty, oily and loaded with cheese. Instead of being humble and offering a simple apology he became defensive, stating that "everyone is different" and then proceeding to grab a menu and check the ingredients as he wasn't sure about this item on his menu. We would have liked to leave straight away but we were waiting in a take away meal that we had ordered. When a waitress came to take our dessert/coffee orders we declined and told her we were simply waiting for our take away order. After approximately 20-30mins had passed another waitress came to ask about dessert/coffee and we have her the same answer to which she replied "your take away is ready". They didn't think to tell us so instead we were left sitting there patiently while the food was getting cold. We will not be going back to Villa DaVinci again.

A dissapointing night out.. Without doubt the worst that I have ever been served. Others at my table sent their meals back but were still charged for them but were given a free desert .

People are Dumb. This restaurants reviews demonstrate what is wrong with a site like this. not everyone should have an opinion as people are clearly stupid. this restaurant has been expanding more and more and is always packed. if it is soo terrible why do people keep on going back?

Villa. I think the food is horrible with no taste, what so ever, its bland, plain and tasteless but the service was great but i wouldnt consider returning there any time soon.

Best italian restaurant i have been to service food and staff excellent! will definitely be returning :)

Expensive but friendly. The food here is pricey and average but the service is great!

Best local Italian Restaurant!. Always go there with my bf because they serve awesome food! BIG servings!! totally worth it if you go on the day they have specials e.g. Wednesday nights when they offer pizza/pasta/chilli mussels for like $15 each. The chilli mussels = awesome! The garlic bread is pretty good too, except the quality is inconsistent. <br/><br/>ALL the pasta dishes are super nice =D

I went to villa divinci's on the weekend and had a great time, it was busy but we hardly had to wait for anything. One of the dinners at the next table wanted to completely change how a dish was made and nothing was too much trouble. I had the best pizza and my friends had pasta dishes which were big but they were offered by staff to have a take home meal, great for next day lunch. We didnt have to pay for corkage and although a little too noisey inside which i mentioned, a waitress offered to move us to the alfresco area which was heated and quieter but we declined, but the offer was nice. I don't know how people can complain about this well priced, nice resturant, well done we will be coming back

I've been here twice and had pasta and risotto as well as trying my partners food and I think its really good. Seen all the bad reviews about it being bland - I can't see what everyone is talking about. seasoned well, smells great = tastes great. Not sure I would attempt a meat and veg dish when you can get that in any old place. BYO is an added bonus. Go here for pasta/risotto.

Bland, boring, no flavour. Same as everyone else's comments. The food was bland, boring, hello is there a chef in the kitchen? Is he tasting what he makes?<br/><br/>I ordered the Positano pizza. The base was magnificent,, however the pizza was bland. The cajun chicken didn't have one spice to it. The pumpkin was hard and undercooked, overall not a delightful meal and I did not eat more then two pieces.<br/><br/>My husband ordered a chicken pasta in a creamy garlic and chilli sauce, well they must have run out of both. It was again bland and no amount of packaged Parmesan could fix it.<br/><br/>Even my Father ordered a meat lovers pizza, which came with meat, but again no flavour.<br/><br/>Not to be picky but there was also a cat hanging around my legs all night. I dislike cats and I hope it didn't get a tour of the kitchen, like it did of the restaurant.

Great Value!. Having grown up around the area and seeing many restaurants in this place come and go, it would have been appropriate to be suprised to see this one last so long .. however the service, food and value for money always keeps me coming back and now I work fly in fly out, it makes the visits in between longer but still worth the effort to travel so far to have the food!<br/><br/>The Chicken Parma is probably the favourite for me as its a REAL piece of chicken, not the processed thin cut you see at most other places. And the size is massive!<br/><br/>The noise of the kids can be a bit annoying, but choosing wiseley on what time you go can mean a peaceful dinner with good company.

I like it...... I found the food tasty, and servings was massive.<br/>Very affordable, and i like that you can bring your own grog.<br/>The only thing i found was that , this place was Super busy , and felt the staff couldnt keep up with it.<br/>Place was pretty noisy, felt like it was hard to have a conversation.

The Margherita pizza wasn't good. Taste like basil (oldddd) and that was it.
