Greeted with smiles and enthusiastic "welcome!". I felt like I was going to a long life friend's home for dinner! Bar was full resturant was on it was to filling up, couple's, families, and friends all seem excited to be here. Food had so much flavor & served hot. We had mussels which I always have coming to da Noi, it's a must! I had the fish special and Arugala salad with peaches and plums! So good! My husband had chicken dish with garlic spinach. Everything was clean neat and set up like a 5 star resturant. The waiter was always checking on us refilling our water and wine. We enjoyed this visit so much, we already planned when we will be back. Highly recommend! read more

Main course Food was very good BUT the sweet potato dumplings that they rave about NOT. I could taste the seed oils they were sautéed in! or maybe they were reheated after sitting around. Filet of sole was placed over sautéed spinach, very flavorful and plentiful. Good baked clams. BUT No mocktails, important for those of us that do not want liquor. C'mon DaNoi get with it! We had reservations mid week, perfect for quiet dinner able to visit and converse with dinner date friends. The website is very outdated like 9 yrs!? AND there is one danoi in Staten island on fingerboard road, TOTTENVILLE HAD CLOSED YRS AGO. ALSO LEARNED Better off parking on Street B/c parking lot is difficult, very steep driveway and around the corner from entrance, very bad for high heels and those that are fierce aging! If any in your dinner date have difficulty walking DO NOT PARK IN LOT OR HAVE THE DRIVER DROP OFF AT RESTAURANT. It will be sometime before we go again. read more

Easily one of the worst Italian restaurants on Staten Island. Not sure how they even stay in business with so many amazing Italian restaurants around. Staff is inconsistent, food is mediocre, terrible experience all around. read more

I had a birthday party for my daughter here! The hospitality is GREAT! The service is excellent! Sedak and Peter are helpful in organizing a party to go smooth. Daniel and the wait staff are terrific as well. The food is deliscious. I will come back here again and again ! Thank you ! read more

My daughter had a party there. Food and service were great. It was very clean n well kept restaurant.

Amazing restaurant! Definitely recommend them! Plus! They're open on Monday! A rarity in New York!

Great local Italian place in Staten Island (and they also have a location in NJ). They don't have a ton of veg options but the chef can make things for you! He made us the penne alla vodka which was amazing! Great service and great staff! read more

I'm never disappointed with Da Noi! The food and the service are fantastic. I always have the Rigatoni Cipullo with ground sweet sausage, prosciutto and cream. Tonight they had a ribeye as a special with roast peppers, onions and potatoes - to die for. They also make a good cocktail! read more

Vegetarian update: One of the best Italian food I had in NY. The menu does not have ton of vegetarian options but the chef will make few things in vegetarian. I tried the penne alla vodka which were fab! The bread basket given before the food was fab! It looked and tasted very fresh. The staff is extremely friendly and sweet. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend to check this place out. read more

We came here for our 10th wedding anniversary. GREAT choice. COVID support was present so all was good. We had an early supper, so glad to help out a local business . We started with a huge portobello mushroom stuffed with crabmeat served on an amazing garlic sauce, and a shrimp cocktail. For the main course we had Chilean sea bass that was perfectly complimented by a white wine sauce with capers, fennel, asparagus.. Always enjoy the bass .. Good wine suggestions from our server.. Great experience and will come back again. read more

I've never heard the phrase 'downtown Staten Island', but I'll accept it blindly because it sounds cool. I only stopped by for an espresso here on my walk home (because why settle for starbucks for your commute?) and it was a nice way to spend 10-15 mins at the bar of this intimate and elegant restaurant. The owner seemed like a cool guy, for whatever that's worth. read more

Delicious food,service was great. Definitely going back. Th the atmosphere was very nice read more

Super pretty restaurant especially after the remodel great to have a party downstairs. The price is great and the food is yummy but on the smaller side when it comes to portion sizes read more

Food came out super late and quality was really disappointing. Was wrong choice for romantic night. Wouldn't go back.

I wish I could give more as the service is great but the prices do not justify the food. I have one favorite appetizer and have been back three times just for it but always ordering underwhelming entrees. For 110 bucks for lunch for two girls who split an entree I think it's too steep considering where we are and the quality of food read more

Ambiance:a bit more the casual. Nice traditional Italian restaurant setting Service: the service was good. Waiter was prompt and friendly. Never had to ask to more drinks or bread. Very attentive. Food: appetizer we ordered an eggplant dish that was stuffed with spinach and cheese and mozzarella. Had the white salad as well. The eggplant was amazing but the white salad we weren't super impressed with. We saw so many come out we thought we would try it. For my entree, I had spinach and cheese ravioli In Tomato cream sauce. That sauce was amazing! Food was fresh and homemade. read more

After a full day of travelling, we showed up for a very early dinner. Sitting wasn't an issue for our group of 7. We pretty much had the full attention of the wait staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the Insalata Bianca and the Pollo Castelli Romana. Two others had the Penne alla Melanzane and really enjoyed it. They thought it had a good flavor with just enough seasoning. My parents split the Spaghetti Bolognese and liked the taste and doneness of the spaghetti. I had a cannoli to end the meal and it was delicious. Getting to watch the maître d making all kinds of hand gestures and pulling his hair over a soccer game was really entertaining too. I'd recommend Da Noi. read more

This place is the tits. Best Italian food on the island and honestly hard to beat anywhere else. The only critique I would have of this place is the desert menu but that's my preference. Wish they would make a fluffy esq cake instead of the brownie type cake that's so heavy and thick . The staff 10/10 The parking 5/10 (if you have a low car be careful, you will bottom out at the entrance into their parking otherwise park elsewhere and walk) Bartender .she cool af. Very friendly and inviting when you walk in. Manager or owner always greets you with a smile . Over all great dining experience and atmosphere. (I dine here once a week) and felt The need to write something nice after coming to other shitty places on Staten Island. This place a gem. read more

Best food I've eaten on Staten Island so far! I went there for my birthday and the waiter was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere was dark and intimate. I like the old Italian decor. I also loved that they played old music from the 20s or 30s. The prices are a little expensive, but the portions are pretty big and you are paying for great food. My fiance and I order the one of the special appetizers they had that day. It was mussels in a red or white sauce. We got the red sauce and it was so good. I don't know what about the sauce was so tasty. It had the right blend of tomato and spices. It was not salty or overbearing like other sauces can be. After we were done with the mussels, we asked for more bread so we could dip it in the leftover sauce. =) I ordered the fusille ai salmone as my entree and I was so happy I did. It was a huge plate of pasta and a huge portion of salmon. They call the sauce a pink sauce because it was cream and tomato. Again, one of the best sauces I had ever tasted. I couldn't get enough. Too bad I was already full before on the other sauce. With our meal, we also got fresh broccoli seasoned with olive oil and these little dough puffs covered with powdered sugar. It tasted like a deep fried cream puff. Sweet, moist, and the perfect ending to this meal. I was way too stuffed for dessert or I would have tried the tiramisu. read more

The owner finally contacted me and was apologetic. He provided me a refund and offered to make me a new dish. I'm happy he reached out! read more

Great food, great service. The veal cutlet parmigiana was delicious. I had the cheesecake as well and it was excellent.

I've been to this Da Noi once prior. Its a great italian restaurant. They serve quality rustic italian fair. Also they have another restaurant mid island which I've been to plenty of times. The restaurant is easy to find and has valet or easy street parking. When walking in there is a cute small bar area where you can sit an relax while waiting for your table. To the left and back is the restaurant area. Its beautifully decorated with warm colors. They also have great art on the walls. On this occasion I was here for a party. The food was stellar. Fried Calamari was tender, eggplant rollatini in a vodka sauce was delicious perfectly cooked. Hot fresh bread from the time we walked in. We had a choice from two pastas one homemade spinach pinwheel with pink sauce or pomodoro. I picked the home made. I think it did lack a tad flavor and it was a little mushy but it was still very good. For entree I chose veal Marsala with their signature veg and dumplings just amazing.. Veal was tender sauce was on point the best meal. Perfect! The mixed drinks were made excellent. The wait staff was fun, easy going and very accommodating. Im so excited to come back for dinner you must try this place!! read more

OMG, Da Noi Downtown Staten Island was simply incredible. It's kind of the place to go in this area. Such a great menu, it was seriously hard to choose, but I am really happy that I bought Pollo Castelli Romana. The crew was very welcoming and service is wonderful. We will be returning soon, with friends, and trying the other dishes. read more

Celebrated my son's 23rd birthday last night at Da Noi Downtown Staten Island. The food was fantastic with great ambiance. The cannoli's served were so fresh, delicious, and, made for a great birthday mood with candles, and, a "Happy Birthday" song by the servers. Of course, finishing our dessert off with cappuccino's was a must. The owner and servers were very attentive throughout, and, made sure our car was waiting at valet when ready to leave. Don't wait, make your reservation now! read more

Da Noi Downtown Staten Island - Fantastic dinner setting for our SI CPA Chapter Conference at Da Noi Downtown SI last night. Food/Service was excellent & we learned a lot! - Italian Near Me - Staten Island, New York

This place was one of the worst meals I ever had. I honestly don't know how they stay in business. The food is not just bad, but aggressively bad. There is no possible way that the chef is italian. Do NOT waste your time or money! read more

Da Noi was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was overall very good. We came here for Mother's Day dinner. We ordered a few pitchers of Sangria.. they were the little pitchers but it was tasty and not too light. We ordered Caesar salad and fried calamari for appetizers. The salad was your typical Caesar salad and the calamari was good although the portion was small. I ordered rigatoni with bolognese sauce. It was good, the sauce could have used a little more seasoning but it was decent. The other guest liked their food as well but agreed that some more seasoning for flavor would be nice. The sides were very tasty! The string beans and carrots were flavored very nicely and the dishes also came with these dumplings (idk what they were) The waiter said that they are fried dough with some powered sugar on it. They were so good! I ate almost all of them myself lol. I've heard a lot about this restaurant and I'm glad I got a chance to check them out. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. read more

Nice to see this SI staple reopen. Has not missed a beat. Excellent service and food. Welcome back!

The food was about 2 stars, while paying for 4. I expected way better from this place, although I have not been there for a few years. My last visit was 4 stars. This seemed like they were recycling food, terrible culinary experience. The service was however much better. Disappointed. read more

First time eating from here, I'm really picky on where I eat, I work in a fine dining restaurant myself, and I can definitely say that the chicken parm I ordered from here together with the rigatoni bolognese was one of the bests I've had. read more

Slow service, my daughter almost swallowed a piece of plastic wrap the forgot to remove, and the Caesar salad dressing was rancid.

Fantastic place, great menu that deviates from the traditional Italian American fare that is all over Staten Island. I have been eating here for a few years and have always left happy. I am a fan of both of the Staten Island Da Noi locations. Food is fantastic at both places. Victory Blvd location gets a slight advantage for the atmosphere, (a bit more cozy)... This location gets a slight advantage for the staff. They are great in both places, but always bend over backwards in the Fingerboard location. They have my favorite Tawny port wine, which I always induldge in when visiting the gang at Da Noi. read more

We were invited to a party held here and had a great time! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect and the staff was more than polite and accommodating! There was no valet when we arrived, but we may have been early coming from Long Island, and because of the travel the Hostess allowed us to come in and freshen up while we waited. read more

Updating since my last review: I adore this place. I knocked down a star because I only order the same meal every time. Tropical Salad & Veal Martini. I have tried other dishes in the past and have not been as satisfied. I have eaten here with family and friends but most of us order the veal. My mother in law always orders the fish and is always satisfied. I wanted to be as objective as I could. I still love this place and to me it is a 5 star restaurant. Because of the lack of variety in the food that I've eaten it's hard to keep it a 5/5. read more

Service was wonderful, I had only mentioned it was my father in law's birthday while we were ordering drinks. Something to the likes of, "it's your birthday, get whatever you want". And they brought out a nice piece of cheese cake, which was delicious and sang. Chicken Sorrentino was fresh and on the bone. I also had a delicious buffalo mozzarella salad with mango, figs and strawberries. Highly recommended, they have a place for parties too. read more

My boyfriend and his family took me here on my first day in New York City ever (I know, I know, I'm late to the party). The restaurant was packed and bustling, but our waiter was still particularly attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Every dish that came to the table was fantastic, the wine was great, I had the best peach martini of my life (twice!), and all around I was thrilled. Next time I'm in Staten Island, I'll be looking forward to going here again. read more

Ah, how I looked forward to this for days. I took the D train from the Bronx to Brooklyn, switched at 86th st in Brooklyn to the N, took a bus, got off at the wrong stop, wandered hesitantly through a neighborhood in Staten Island, a place that exists only on the outer fringe of conscious thought, until.. ...there it was, finally. I used the front door. Who knew, but there's a back door downstairs that leads in from the parking lot (parking lot?), which my entire car-privileged family used. It was my great uncle's birthday. I couldn't wait to be fed well. I am still waiting, friends. Though the staff here is pleasant and the host upstairs amusingly complimented me, the food! was terrible! The choices for pasta were Penne Alle Melanzane and Spaghetti Bolognesse. I ordered the former but regretted it. I also tried the other, but the veal meat sauce did nothing for me. Didn't finish that course. The entree options were chicken, veal, salmon, and tilapia. Veggies came on a communal dish, as it was a group reservation. I ordered the tilapia, which traditionally I love. Bland. Tangy in the negative, just a little off sense of the word. Split that and the chicken with my brother. Chicken was also too much, a failure in the sauce. Dessert was a tiramisu, surprisingly yummy in flavor empowered by mocha, as well as cheesecake, strange in the crust department and nothing special. Rated four stars by zagat?! Da Noi wasn't worth the four dollars I spent getting to it. And I didn't even pay for my meal. read more
