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.

We used to come here a lot about ten years ago. It's still a sweet little restaurant, serving a "feed me"menu. The service was superb - both the Maitre D and the wait staff were wonderful to us (and we watched them charm some really irritating customers on a nearby table!) The food was nice enough (and plenty of it) although I thought the pasta course was a bit too rustic and there were no surprises. I do miss the old days when it was a family-run place and you often got served interesting and novel things (sea slugs, anyone? They're actually delicious!) It was all a bit safe and not a cheap night out. Bu try it for yourself!

My wife took me to Da Noi for my birthday on the recommendation of a friend. We selected the Chef's Choice option and could not have been happier with the service, food and wine. It is a small unassuming restaurant with a Sardinian theme, and we were blown away by how nice every one of the six dishes were. We will be paying the ultimate compliment and returning again. Cannot recommend this highly enough, go there if you have the chance.

There is no menu, so the cook just makes something for you - taking any dietary restrictions into account. It was delicious from start to finish. Just the vegetarian option of the main dish could have been more imaginative than serving a rather obligatory melanzane alla parmigiana. Staff was very attentive, bit not overly attentive. Lovely, delicious evening, but rather pricy, so certainly not for every day.

The most overpriced and underwhelming dining experience we have taken in 20 years. All four of us had the same view. Cheapest wine and inferior Montepulciano at $95. Tried to force us into a 6 course dego, eventually agreeing to a La carte. Food was bland and not resembling its espoused Santorini inspiration. Give it a wide berth.

Da Noi is one of the best under rated Melbourne restaurants. Stunning service, Sicilian food and great wines Organic food designed by a skilled and creative Sicilian chef. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Hurley Vineyard

Da Noi is no longer BYO. Since when? Who knows? It has ALWAYS allowed BYO. This new information is surprising given that there is no indication of the change of policy on the website or Facebook page, that we could find. We only found out tonight when we arrived for our long anticipated 39th wedding anniversary dinner … at one of our favourite restaurants … with one of our favourite Grande Marque champagnes. Living in NSW, my wife and I are not frequent diners at Da Noi. However, for more than 15 years we have dined here every time we visit Melbourne (except when our booking was COVID-cancelled in 2021)! This makes Da Noi’s response when we walked through the door a mix of embarrassing, confusing and insulting. As we were shown our table we were told that Da Noi did not allow BYO. A bit embarrassing, standing inside the restaurant with wine in hand. The reason? “Because the high quality of the food and excellent wine list meant that BYO was not appropriate!” I was confused. “Do you mean that in the past your food wasn’t high quality and your wine list wasn’t excellent?” The response? “I’ll speak to the owner. He sometimes allows a special wine.” The insult? After a 10 minute wait the staff member returned and asked if we’d like still or sparkling water. “What about allowing us to drink our wine?” “Oh, yes. He said you could. Corkage will be $45.” Now, I know Mr Porcu owns Da Noi and can charge whatever he likes. At the same time, I know when someone is trying to “have a lend”/offend/punish/insult so we responded in kind … we left and will not be returning. So sad!

Went with two friends for dinner. Going by the favourable reviews below, we must have gone on a bad night or Da Noi have not picked up their game post-pandemic. The nibbles and desserts in the fixed menu at around $100 pp were OK (some very good) but the main consisted of simple suckling pig, roast potatoes, and a plain salad of various leaves with some grated carrot on top - farmhouse dining.

Although paying around 90pp for a two course dinner with wine, my friend and I had very disappointing dining experience. The food was the biggest disappointment. Not one thing stood out as exceptionally tasty. The salami board was the best thing served (which required no cooking). Portions were tiny but you won’t mind since the flavours are bland. The wait staff ‘hard sell’ the degustation from the moment to sit down (think gym membership selling tactics). Made us feel uncomfortable when we asked for a la carte menu. This started the experience badly in the first 5 minutes. Cute setting, although very cramped and you can’t help but overhear nearby conversations all night. Would I chose this again over any solid Italian place in south yarra like cafe e cucina? No. Save your evening and go elsewhere.

We were warmly greeted upon arrival and shown to our upstairs table. We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday so it was a special evening. Unfortunately the restaurant seems to care more about income generation than clients levels of comfort and enjoyment.Let me explain. The waitrons placed at a table near ours a couple with a very small child , could not have been more than 18 months old who screamed at the top of it's lungs incessantly and the parents thought that was cute. Neither my wife nor I as well as another couple at the other upstairs table who kept covering their ears with their hands thought it was cute. It finally got to the point where we could tolerate it no longer and asked to be moved downstairs. The father of the child then took umbrage that I was upset that his kid was screaming and got into a verbal confrontation with me. My question to the restaurant is , this is dinner time, for adults, what were they thinking in encouraging small screaming children into their restaurant for, maybe for lunch , at a push but not dinner. My question to the parents is just how selfish are you, and inconsiderate. This is not a cheap restaurant, it has degustation menu's....this was not a Mc Donalds. The food was good, the evening was destroyed....we will not go back to a money grabbing establishment like this.

This was my third time at Da Noi and when our family was in Melbourne for the weekend I thought I would introduce it to others. It was just as amazing third time around. Amazing food, fantastic service and gorgeous setting. While all parts of the meal were delicious including the bread and sorbet, the duck pasta was extraordinary and stopped everyone at the table in their tracks as we savoured the flavours. Thank you so much

We opted for the degustation menu. Small serves, but good quality food/produce from the family farm. Highlight was the suckling pig and roast potatoes! Wow, probably the best roast spuds I’ve ever eaten. Service staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It’s very expensive, expected for Toorak Rd though, and a restaurant of this provenance. I would return, and would try the options from the alacarte menu. Montepulciano wine was excellent. ❤️

This was one of the truest incredible dining experiences. The food was outstanding, every course was amazing. Beautifully presented, fresh, interesting and exciting dishes. The service was first class, each dish described in detail. A truly fantastic experience. Highly recommend. Feel very luck to have eaten at this super restaurant.

Chapel Street
Seek and ye shall find! Prahran is a treasure hunter’s paradise of vintage stores, upscale boutiques and emporiums. Chapel Street is a one-stop shop with specialty stores selling just about everything. The famous Chapel Street Bazaar has so many curious and vintage knick-knacks that you will feel as if you're in a huge and busy museum. By contrast, at the northern end of Chapel Street, South Yarra and Windsor cater to high-end designer labels and exclusive boutiques. The community flocks to Prahran’s organic markets as a Saturday ritual, while art and film students leaf through vinyl LPs on Greville Street. The gay community also has a strong presence here. Prahran’s heritage buildings like the Reads Emporium and Prahan arcade offer a grand sense of scale and history. No matter your interest, come feel the pulse of one of Melbourne’s most loved precincts.
