Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a lovely meal in here. Very traditional Italian food. The meal wasn’t rushed and the staff were friendly.

It’s been years since we were last in here so it was long overdue. The menu on their website is old so the prices are much more expensive now. However, the food is very good. The calzone was great. Tasty and enjoyable. The service was...excellent.More

We went to Da Vincis on an impulse tonight. Although we have been many times before. We walked into a packed restaurant. Fortunately, the family who were celebrating a birthday are related to my wife. We were squeezed in. The staff were brilliant. They coped...with a packed room. Everyone I spoke to agreed the food & service was excellent. Highly recommended.More

Went for Early Bird meal with friends. The entire meals were very poor. Lasagne portion absolutely tiny. Bolognaise sauce was watery. Was told by the waiter that the portion was small as it was early bird. Misleading advert as the meal was half the size....Asked to speak to the manager we were informed they were too busy to speak to us. We won’t go back !,More

DaVinci’s is our favourite Italians in this area, food never disappoints, good menu selection, reasonable prices. Staff are always so friendly, the two young waiters are very professional and mature, cozy surroundings and a traditional atmosphere.

Amazing place, we absolutely love it. My favourite in South Shields. Owner is wonderful and his staff are very friendly too. We were invited back after a fantastic meal for a Sunday dinner today and I could not reccomend enough. Gorgeous home made Yorkshire puddings...and plenty of turkey. Love their mid week offers and food, never had a bad experience. 10/10More

The menu is priced differently to the website, for example the web said £17 for a steak and when we sat down it was actually £25. Quite a bit of a difference which may be an unpleasant surprise for some people, especially if you’re on...a budget. Saying that the food was lovely and the service was good.More

My partner and myself visited from Perth Western Australia & after not being back to the UK for 6 yrs due to covid, this was without doubt the best meal and friendly service & the highlight of our trip so far. the owner was friendly...and described the food in detail and both our meals were delicious and great value for money. I had the Gamberoni Al ferno, which was Superb and my partners meal was equally as good as mine. The staff were amazing & friendly and could not be more helpful. I would highly recommend visiting Da Vinci's if you love Italian and are visiting South ShieldsMore

We have collectively been going to DaVinci’s for many years now, and we have never experienced a bad meal. The food seems to improve with every visit. The menu is full of selection and there is some great gems on the specials board, the Pork...belly and Black pudding dishes are a fave! Although a small restaurant, it feels authentic and quaint, which is what I like from an Italians. The staff are super friendly and the chefs clearly can work magic in the kitchen. Very reasonably priced also for the quality of food you receive, which I’d say is in a top class!More

What an amazing experience, The staff have the perfect, helpful attitude, and the food & drink are pretty good too. We had two steaks and they were out of this world and a cocktail box (we weren't expecting a cocktail actually turning up in a...little cooler box) the cocktail box is definitely worth it 🙂 They always found a way to make us happy that's the main thing The atmosphere was amazing we walked in and was greeted by a woman who was actually smiling and happy to see us (I've been in restaurants where it's like they don't want to be there), so it was actually being treated like family which is why we definitely would go back 5* all roundMore
