    Visited last evening. Im impressed; a lot of effort is put in to ensuring an excellent quality of dining experience. All the food was excellent. Menu was a breath of fresh air, offering food which is not found in most other restaurants. Staff were also attentive while being friendly. The restaurant and experience has got this homie feeling to it, so not too fancy, just a top quality experience. When around Chester, I would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone in the area.

    What a great experience! We were looking for a nice place for dinner and found the perfect Italian restaurant. Eating at Da Noi means eating authentical Italian food from the northern region of Italy, presented in a modern way, beautiful arranged. The owner was very welcoming, even though we've had a bigger dog with us. The waiter was very polite, cordial and considerate. Even though the restaurant is close to the historic center, it is not a typical one for those kind of areas, but stands out. Thank you again for having us!!

    We visited Da noi this afternoon for the 3 course tasting menu with Wine flight and it was absolutely amazing! The food was unbelievable , pretty on the plate and the wine paired perfectly. The service was also impeccable. Hands down the best place we’ve eaten in Chester.

    Beautiful restaurant. Quality of food was exceptional. Boyfriend and I really enjoyed our dessert, frangipane. We discovered how basil clotted cream went so well with the lemon tart. It was a dessert I've never tasted before and was highly impressed with how delicious it was. The tart was like a dense sponge cake, yet so moist and sweet. Also refreshing with the cream, but not too empowering. Staff and customer service was excellent, felt very welcomed as soon as we entered. Highly recommend for those seeking a fancy meal out in Chester.

    One of the hidden gems in Chester. With a very compact seating number, each plate gets exceptional attention. Apart from the friendliest staff ever, the confidence and creativity of the kitchen and front of the house staff can't be presented any more perfectly than it is being presented already. Server Sam was an absolute sweetheart to very politely walk the guests through each and every menu item, guiding the guest rediscover their palette and help choose what's best for them. I could see Chef Valentina's passion and science about flavours phenomenally laid out in every dish I had and the wine it was hand picked to be paired with. After service, Chef Valentina personally and very humbly greeted every table, every guest to check their liking of this experience. With one of the marvelous hand crafted menu and a memorable experience offered at a reasonable pricing, Da Noi has to be the most valuable and highly recommend dining experience. I will be visiting again, hungry for more.

    I really had high expectations for this place. However, they completely ruined my 2 year anniversary. I have held off to review this place in order to calm down. However unfortunately that will never happen. We went for the tasting menu, with tasting wines. After 3 courses decided to leave, after being served the same desert wine with the 2nd 2 courses, that were absolutely disgusting. I would have sat through the rest of it. Only the chef came banging on the one toilet door, in an extremely aggressive manner, for my husband to get out, after he’d not even men able to un zip his trousers to even have a wee. It was so rude, so abusive, so absurd. That I felt like going mental. We ended up spending £100 on the most tasteless, disgusting food. I also find it disgusting the chef uses the same loo, as the diners. She also needs to calm down, as her aggression and fire, is not reflected in her cooking. She certainly isn’t good enough to be treated in such a disrespectful manner!!

    Excellent lunch meal with paired wine. Friendly service and good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 claudia 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful dining experience. We all had the wine flight along with the 3 course lunch. Each individual dish was carefully constructed, and the flavors were beautiful to the taste. Our server, Gretta, was a delight and equally as patient with our 1 year old guest😊 Our lunch experience was so great, now looking forward to dinner!!!🍽

    A sensational lunch today our first visit. Relaxed atmosphere, intimate venue, superb food an explosion of colour and taste and last but by no means least fabulous, friendly, knowledgeable front of house staff. And great wine accompanying every course. It was a treat for us and we’ll never forget it, thank you.

    Outstanding. The best food I’ve ever tried, I was honestly blown away. We came to Chester for my Birthday for a couple of nights and booked this restaurant after hearing so many good things and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection. I loved how attentive our waiter was and how he took the time to talk us through every single dish. Our waiter even gave us recommendations of where to go for drinks in the evening. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

    Excellent service and amazing food! Went to Da Noi to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we absolutely enjoyed the meal we had. Pretty difficult to pick a favourite dish, but the creamed cod and the venison were both delicious. The service was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

    One of the best restaurants we have even been to!! I took my boyfriend and parents here for lunch and it was absolutely fabulous. The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff were so attentive, passionate and friendly. We will definitely recommend this to friends and other family members and we ourselves will definitely be coming here again very soon.

    Excellent service and perfect food and wines cannot recommend this place enough, Fabrizio is the perfect host and Valentina is the most amazing chef and not forgetting the rest of the brilliant staff. If you appreciate authentic regional Italian food (not stereotypical generic Italian you can get anywhere or americanised italian) and rare and amazing piedmont Italian wines you will love this place

  • 5/5 Hayley R. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful find! The whole experience was superb. We went with Chef's recommendation for our starter and main and paired with wines, we then couldn't resist a sweet after our host spoke so lovingly about this being his favourite pudding made by his grandmother 🥰 This is what actual Italian food should taste like, fresh wonderful ingredients and a large dollop of passion. Can't wait to return and sample your evening menu.xxx

    I have wanted to go here for a while so went last night. Feels very foodie when you arrive and small number of tables. I left very disappointed. Starter had ravioli - arrived and looked like something you would have for breakfast with a large piece of ravioli, egg and some bacon bits on the side. Very simple food. Main had the steak and ratatouille - it was dry and lacked flavour, needed a sauce or something to go with it. Beef fat wasn’t fully rendered or trimmed. I asked for salt twice to no avail. Had a chocolate tart for desert and left half of it, it lacked any depth of chocolate. We had an Italian wine as that was all that was served and it was very cheap quality - we didn’t even finish the bottle. Asked for water and was served bottled to push the price up. I don’t normally leave reviews but found this restaurant to be overlay pretentious with very bland food that lacked flavour. If you are into your food and like flavour then one to avoid. Also noted that our waiter was on his first shift on a sat night. He hadn’t tasted any food on the menu and hadn’t had any training on the wine menu - felt for him.
