Da Vinci's Restaurant sits on Poole Quay with stunning views over the glistening waters of Poole Harbour, and there's plenty of original woodwork and antique charm to bolster the imagination. Just head for the lifting bridge and walk a few yards down the Quay.

Furniture, fittings and décor all combine to create a feeling of permanence and solid confidence that provides a fitting backcloth to dining out in the waterside setting of a harbour that has charmed millions of people over the years.

Da Vinci's is an informal venue that's perfect for a quick lunch or leisurely dinner, and the kitchen team pay much attention to fresh, seasonal ingredients. It's not uncommon to see diners get off the boat and pop in for a meal in a very relaxed atmosphere. The daily specials feature locally caught, wild sea fish and Italian specialties. There's a bar at the rear where you could sit outside and enjoy a bowl of mussels while watching the boats; and at the front is a tiny takeaway shop with harbourside tables where guests enjoy some delicious homemade Italian pizza and pasta.
