Da Noi

Loved the vibe and the intimate setting - no too many tables, so makes it feel special. Food was good - the portions are huge, so you get your moneys worth! Wine selection was nice, from both Sardinia and Italy. Service was excellent.

We had an amazing experience at Da Boi for a birthday dinner! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely phenomenal – authentic Sardinian flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented dishes. Every bite was a delight! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the seafood was fresh, and the dessert was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. We truly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

Last night I celebrated my birthday at the beautiful restaurant with my girlfriends. Let's just say expect the unexpected here! Food is directly from the farm to your plate. There's no menu so the expectation is a surprise and when it does you're blown out of your mind. From the bread as a starter to the meat board then to the entrees and then the mains to mind blowing desserts everything here was a delight. Leave it to the chef and you're in great hands. They even cater for vegetarians and gluten free meals. Service was exceptional with Mo and Pietro! Thank you again and definitely coming back!

Last night, my husband was excited to try this restaurant's dishes. Initially, when we stepped inside, the place seemed small and cramped. But as the staff led us further in, we discovered a hidden, beautifully decorated room with a very romantic ambiance. I especially loved their fireplace, which was perfect for the cold, rainy winter. My husband mentioned that the chef would personally roast pork there. Although we saw it last night, we look forward to trying it next time. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the staff were very friendly. We particularly enjoyed their desserts, which were very refreshing, and their Earl Grey tea was outstanding. This morning, I can still savor the tea's aroma. Highly recommended!

Thank you for such a pleasant experience. I was highly recommended Da Noi by a work colleague and it lived up to every expectation. A true gem hidden in plain sight. Amazing service and outstanding food. Delightful venue. My partner and I dined here to celebrate our anniversary and the Da Noi staff accommodated us. We chose the chefs menu, no regrets. They met my dietary requirements and put together a fabulous menu that catered to our needs. Truely spectacular Sardinian cuisine, awesome dishes with beautiful fresh ingredients and produce, could taste the quality of the food. Unique and authentic dishes. What an experience! The service was impeccable and we appreciated how each dish was beautifully presented and with each meal came an in depth explanation of the ingredients and inspiration. Thank you for your presentation and service- this was the standout. Even down to the freshly made bread - each dish painted a different picture of Sardinian cuisine, such a memorable evening. Thank you for making our experience so memorable. We will be back & we will be recommending to friends and family who require a venue who aids them in celebrating a special occasion.

A charming local Italian restaurant with very friendly staff. We enjoyed a delightful degustation menu, finishing with a glass of mirto as a digestif. My favorite part is the element of surprise – while you never know exactly what will be served, you can always count on the dishes being beautifully presented and incredibly delicious."

My daughter and I had a lovely 6 course degustation. Every night the chef dreams up a new menu based on seasonal produce from the farm. I thought it was very reasonably priced, atmosphere was cozy. Service was spot-on. Wines are highend but worth it paired very well with the food

Da Noi was simply magical. I picked the restaurant for our 18th wedding anniversary celebration dinner. They did not disappoint! We even got the front of house table - how sweet is that! It is a quaint and quirky yet homey, inviting restaurant. Food was very delicious (we had the degustation menu) and was presented beautifully. With a gorgeous "happy anniversary" sign written in chocolate for dessert. A lovely, memorable night. I'll be back for pasta making! Thankyou to all staff at Da Noi.

I cannot believe there are not more review's on this fabulous Sardinian restaurant. The menu is hand written daily depending on the produce the Chefs get in. The Waiters truly know their stuff, let them recommended a wine. If available, try the Beef Tartar with Egg Yolk.

Easy to miss this tiny shop front in Toorak Road which in a former life was Brummels photo gallery and cafe. We had an early booking as they were fully booked and were warmly greeted with offers of Prosecco. A lovely bottle disappeared very quickly. We had the degustation menu which is always a good way to get the feel of a restaurant. Many courses of antipasto arrived, small servings calamari, cuttlefish, Vitello tonnata and melanzane parmigiana etc. a small pasta dish followed,perfectly cooked spaghetti in a small mound with crab, cherry tomatoes etc,meat was a traditional Sardinian lamb stew thickened with egg yolks served with crispy roast potatoes and salad. Dolce was a delicious raspberry gelato, panna cotta and chocolate bavarois, Service was efficient and very pleasant. Highly recommended for a modern take on traditional Sardinian/Italian food.

This a fantastic Sardinian restaurant. A very unique experience if u are will to pay around $85 a head for four courses. The food was outstanding and each new dish that came out was better than the previous one. Definitely recommend this one!

Da Noi is a sweet little Italian place on Toorak Road in South Yarra. To be specific, it's Sardinian and they specialise in preparing and serving food grown on their own farm. I had the degustation lunch in the front dining area which has just enough room for tables along each wall with a narrow aisle between. Floorboards and textured cream walls added a rustic feel. I asked the waitress to chose a wine for me and a couple of minutes later she was back with a fresh bottle of La Tense Nebbiolo. Very light, and a good start to the meal. Three dishes arrived at my table almost immediately after the wine; a small portion of eggplant lasagne, a plate with a seared scallop topped with poppy seeds on a pool of very light fresh tomato mousse, a little bowl of fried whitebait and a side of diced tomatoes, and a third plate with two slices of rare roast beef covered in a very mild tuna and caper sauce. Excellent starters, but the scallop and the beef were standouts for me. At least until the next course arrived. This was the special of the day; duck pasta garnished with shaved truffles on a creamy truffle and pecorino cheese sauce. Delicious. Next up was a piece of pork belly served on celeriac emulsion with a reduction of myrtle berries (mirto in Italian) which are grown on the family farm. This came with a side of baked carrots. Never been a fan of pork belly, and honestly probably never will be, but this was one of the better variations I've eaten. To finish, I had a lovely, soft Corsican sheep's milk cheese with an ash and rosemary rind served with apple purée, mandarin segments and almonds. Once again my waitress came to the party by choosing not-too-sticky dessert wine to accompany it - a gorgeous Sardinian white called Angelus. The five course set lunch menu costs $55 ($70 for me as I upgraded to the special of the day) plus wine. The chef here has a very subtle touch and every dish was well balanced with interesting flavour combinations. Da Noi means "our place" in Italian, and I certainly felt right at home from the moment I sat down. My definition of great service is that no matter how busy the restaurant is (and the day I went every table was full) the staff make you feel like you're the only person there. And that's exactly how the staff at Da Noi made me feel. Great restaurant and definitely worth another visit.

Amazing atmosphere. We were tucked away in the back with a suckling pig slowly rotating on a fire. The gummy shark and honey tart were also highlights. An authentic Sicilian experience.

Walked past this place with friends and thought it looked like a cute little Italian restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint us at all! The menu is changed daily depending on what they could get on the day, and food is made fresh daily! I had the Tortellini with lamb which was wonderful, and friends got the fish spaghetti and duck which were also delicious! Desserts were excellent too! A very pleasant experience with interesting waiters! Will go back again to try their other authentic menus!

Valentines disaster. After almost 2 hours we still hadn't had the main course from the set menu, in fact all our food courses were delayed. When we complained we were then told that our food hadn't been ordered and was forgotten about. Usually this place is a good restaurant, it should be with its high prices, but on 14 Feb it was a disaster. One star is one too many.

This restaurant might have been great some day in the past, but now it is simply trading on its past reputation. I invited another couple to join us for dinner. This place is brazen to say the least, in its exorbitant prices for the sizes of its meals. Amongst four of us we paid 200.00 with- no entrees, no desserts! Three of us had a pasta dish. Serves I would consider neither an entree nor a main, but more a 'sampler' size. Being italian I know there might be some work in preparing a boar ragu sauce, but pasta comes cheap-and there was little of that! You would serve your child more than what we got on each dish. As for my dish it was a snapper fillet topped with lentils and mussels. It was nearly 40.00, and I couldn't see much skill involved. The wine alone was 60.00- a hefty markup no doubt. Would I go again- no way! Would I recommend it- no way. Even if you have cash to splash, spend it somewhere where there is skill, technique, flavour, excellent presentation, complexity or even inventiveness. This place has few of those.

Absolutely superb, one of the best meals I have ever had. Simplicity personified, with absolute freshness and sophistication at the same time. We matched Italian wines thanks to our friendly and professional wait staff. Even the coffee at the end was perfection, Caprese.

Omg so perfect. Value for money doesn't mean inexpensive. Great food, charming staff and very pleasant ambience. My favourite.

If you know what Sardinian food is like, and why you shouldn't expect to compare this with your 'pretty good' neighbourhood Italian restaurant, then you'll love this place. It's a Sardinian restaurant, and they do a fine job of serving sumptuous Sardinian food, some of the finest cuisine on the planet. It's one of only two Sardinian restaurants in Australia, and totally worth the journey. It's a shame I can't get to Sardinia itself more often, that place is heaven on earth.
