Da Vinci Mediterranean Restaurant

Walk into Da Vinci on Holyrood Street in Newport and you're immediately somewhere that feels properly grown-up without being pretentious about it. The sort of place where locals book tables weeks ahead because they've worked out it's genuinely good, not just decent. You're getting the kind of Mediterranean food that respects its ingredients—fresh seafood done right, pasta that doesn't taste like it came from a packet, the sort of cooking that makes you remember why you liked Italian food in the first place. With nearly 330 reviews sitting at 4.7 stars, people aren't hanging about—this is the restaurant on the Island you tell your mates about.
