    Veal Chop Capricciosa
    Rebecca J.

    My boyfriend & I came to Da Noi on Friday night. I had tagged along on his work trip, and we always try to find a good Italian spot on our trips. It's kind of "our thing," since our first date was at an Italian restaurant. The ambiance is wonderful and there is even a cute patio if the weather permits you to eat outside. Very romantic. We were greeted by the most friendly hostess who was so helpful in recommending dishes and even pushed in my chair for me. She came by during our meal to make sure everything was good. She was so nice & helpful. Our waiter was equally helpful, suggested a bottle of wine that would complement both of our dishes. He was very patient and kind as we were very indecisive. There were so many delicious dishes to choose from. We decided on the Barese pasta to start off. So delicious with the sausage and homemade pasta. For main courses, we ordered the Veal Chop Capricciosa & Brit's Chicken. My boyfriend was initially questioning my ordering chicken, but after trying it, thought it was absolutely delicious. I agree...the sauce was to die for and the chicken was cooked perfectly with the cheese, sausage and peppers all coming together. We will be back! What a fantastic spot for a date night

    Chocolate gelato, each spoonful more delicious than the last.

    This was the second time my wife and I dined at "Da Noi". Both times were a gastronomical treat. The breads brought to the table are a sampling of four different varieties, of these, the Italian, was the most lack luster. Not because of poor quality, simply because of its ordinariness before the other three varieties. No need to ask for dipping oil, it was already seasoned and waiting for you on the table. We ordered the stuffed calamari and the polipo salad as appetizers. Be advised that the stuffed calamari is not a table order, only one is served, consequently, at most two can dine on this appetizer. We also ordered the octopus, which arrived warm and was served with arugula and a freshly sliced tomato and a sweet red onion. Delicious! Again, a word of caution, the serving is, at best enough for two. Please understand that this is not a slight, in fact, if any more were provided it would take away from the main meal, and this would prove to be a culinary sin! I ordered the "Black fettuccini with frutti di mare al fra diavolo." Except, I requested regular linguini and a mild sauce. At first glance, I thought the portion size of my entree to be lacking, however, as l began to eat, I discovered; to my delight; that there was almost more fish than I could handle. The entree was exquisite. There was no marinara at all, in its place was a light sauce that bathed the ensemble of different fish in a delightful, seafood broth that was flavorful and understated. To finish off the meal, I ordered an American cup of decaffeinated coffee and a gelato. The coffee was strong and hot, the gelato melted divinely leaving a rich chocolate flavor in its wake. If I could give this meal six stars, I would. To make the evening even more delightful, the service, from seating to dessert delivery, was exemplary. Take Aways: 1. Reservations are a must. 2. Portion to price is excellent. 3. Small parking lot. 4. Pricey but worth it. 5. Excellent service. I highly recommend "Da Noi"..

    Excellent food,service & ambiance a trifecta!! This is a hidden gem on Main St in Islip. I started off with escargot & mushrooms so different so AMAZING!!..this was a departure from the usual garlic & butter sauce. My main course was Lamb ravioli in a champagne sauce..mouthwatering goodness. The ravioli was filled with lamb-no ricotta just the lamb..perfect!! Another diner has the halibut with clams & mussels another winner. We also had the Duck ragout with Al dente pappardelle. Desert was Profiteroles in a bath of chocolate & topped with fresh berries..so delish!! Our waiter was helpful & charming as was the greeter when we entered the eatery. Look to DaNoi for excellent dining & a romantic fun evni

    This place is absolutely delicious. If you are in the mood for amazing comforting, Italian food this is definitely the place to be. I recommend the gnocchi pasta was to die for!

    Da Noi in Islip is an old world Gem! Almost like dining at a private club. With a very active Bar scene this small Italian restaurant is our choice to bring friends. We were starved and decided to get 2 large pasta dishes to share as appys; Cavalli with Veal Rag and Squid ink pasta with Seafood...both delish! Our server Gregory brought me a GG shake Up with a twist....perfecto! We share a bottle of wine that complimented the meal. Main was Braised Rabbit...delish. others had Veal Sorrentino...also delish. Everything was wonderful and the service was terrific! Intimate Italian at its Best!

    This restaurant is located on Main St in Islip Long Island. It's an Italian restaurant with inside and outside eating. They have heaters outside for outside eating. It's a real Italian restaurant feel and romantic. Although families eat there it's small and better for couples. You can also bring your dog for outside eating. A big plus. They have a separate bar. I made a reservation so we were seated immediately. Very good service. I had there coconut martini so good and there Seafood Trio. For 2 people our meal was @ $200 with tip $$.

    Britts Chicken

    I went to Da Noi for the first time on Friday night. We had a table of 5, and the friends we went with go there regularly. They have talked highly very highly of this restaurant & wanted us to try it. It's a small place but it's nice, it has an old school feel. The wait staff was great & the drinks were strong. For appetizers we had the buratta, calamari, duck ravioli & short rib ravioli. Everything was beyond delicious, I would just suggest the prosciutto that comes with the burrata is cut thinner next time. For dinner, I had Britts Chicken, WOW! Thin crispy chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella in a brown sauce. It also had some sliced sausage. I would honestly order this again next time. My fiancé had penne Ala vodka with shrimp. The vodka sauce average, not good but not bad. The shrimp was over cooked which was disappointing. She tried a piece of my chicken and she agreed it was great and that she would order that next time.

    Had the jalapeño pierogies...Definitely not homemade. How hard is it to make pierogies in an Italian kitchen...sad

Ive been waiting all month to come back here for my moms early birthday dinner and it was a magical experience! She took the best care for us! The atmosphere was identical to how I remember on my trip to Italy! So welcoming, warm, and true to the culture! We started with the apps: eggplant & tomato gratin.. the tomato was so fresh, sweet and the best eggplant ive ever had.. topped with a simple breadcrumbs The Piadinas were probably my FAVORITE that ive be so excited to try! Especially the Nud: prosciutto cotto fontina cheese and mushroom spread .. this was my favorite on the apps menu that id have for myself as a meal! After sharing the delicious apps my mom and I shared our favorite pasta. Strozzapreti Gratinati that Brittany hand rolls herself with sausage rags, arugala and light breadcrumbs topping! Ended the meal with dessert to celebrate my moms bday, the apricot crostata and pear desserts were our favorite! Sweet plum pear and fresh apricot tart! Thank you so much for making the celebration so special! Brittany and pietro, thank you so much for offering your talent and giving the community the truest italian experience From service, ambiance, kind waitstaff, to every part of the meal was Perfection!!! and im so happy to have the honor of sharing the meal & service by you! AGAIN, you guys set the bar high....I will forever recommend your establishment and highly rate Talina as the best italian restaurant on Long Island!

    Beautiful and cozy restaurant, it's very small so definitely make a reservation! Nice bar area and…read morea few high tops by the front window. Small menu but very nice and interesting recipes. I really appreciate the attention to detail in regards to ingredients and flavor pairings. The pasta is very good and is homemade, made in house. The service was impeccable. Great wine list and drink menu. The salad was huge and more than enough for two people, though it was slightly overdressed.
