Caffé e Cucina opened on August 16th 1988, with the aim of recreating the great restaurants in the most famous cities all over Italy. Since then, it has consistently achieved high acclaim in its contribution to the definition of "cafe culture" in Australia, originally introducing the concept of Italian hospitality in Melbourne.Small tables, dim lights and high-end service are only some of our secret. "Produzione Artigianale” means strong attention to detail and passion for our culture.A wide selection of wines, freshly baked bread on arrival and top quality extra virgin olive oil will never be missing.The warm welcoming atmosphere, the thick accents and the genuine flavours are perfectly blended, casting a spell that transports you straight to Italy.We have always been driven by the clear and ambitious intention to provide great traditional food, attentive yet friendly service and all around consistency.

Da Noi is an Italian restaurant sets the mood for romance, with white linen cloth tables and dim mood lighting complementing a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Da Noi’s daily changing menu incorporates a wealth of Sardinian influence, carefully crafted into innovative Italian dishes that carefully balance elements of rusticity and refinement.At Da Noi, we always had a focus on bringing fresh, seasonal and local produce to your plate. 7 years ago we bought a small farm in Yarck with the dream of supplying Da Noi with organic fruit, meat and vegetables, and now we’re doing just that. We believe it’s vital to be able to source where every ingredient we serve you with comes from. Therefore we are now using succulent Saddleback Pork, Dorper Sheep, Boer Goat and Lowline Angus beef direct from our farm, as well as our chickens, ducks and free-range eggs.We believe our produce is beautiful, delicious and cared for, now we invite you to try it yourself.

    I had a lovely dining experience with my partner. The ambience in the evening was classy and cozy Our meals were delicious. Compliments to the Chef! We had an assortment of entrees (Their house made focaccia is to die for - fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside). We had the Blue Swimmer Crab spaghetti and their Rigatoni with rags sauce. Amazing! our Waitress said they make their pasta in house too! Highly recommend. We'll be back!

    We booked in for Fork & Walk after reading it in What’s on Melbourne and had the best day. The food was amazing, staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was light and fun. We were given plenty of time at each venue without feeling rushed and were given a 10 minute warning before it was time to move to the next venue. A short walk to the next restaurant was a great way to see what else Wi door had to offer. The rain created ambience and didn’t dampen our spirits or enthusiasm. Highly recommended for a Sunday lunch experience - would definitely do something similar again.
