"The most authentic Italian experience you can find outside of Italy. Da Noi is possibly the most delicious Italian food I have ever had in the UK since I moved here back in 2009. This is a place where the owners run the whole business and everything they do is with pride, passion and love just like high quality family run restaurants in Italy. Now, let's get to the food and drinks! I started off with a gigantic home made light and thin pasta raviolo filled with ricotta cheese and an egg yolk that explodes out when cut in half finished with a porcini mushrooms sauce and truffle oil. The aroma of the porcini and truffle mixed wonderfully with the creaminess of the yolk and the delicious pasta filling. Be aware, you can even order this as a MAIN!!! Together with my starter I ordered a white floral wine from Piemonte called Baratuciat... one word: divine. As a main, I ordered the venison cooked medium rare juicy and tender as it should be, together with a light almond sauce and dauphinoise. Once again, I followed the instructions and gone with the pairing choice, a fruity Barbaresco that enhanced all the flavours on the plate. Amazing. Of course, I had to try a dessert too, so I went for the super traditional Piemontese pudding called Bunet a sort of creme caramel hyped up with coca and amaretti biscuits. Again, hats off. My friend had the same dishes except for the main where he opted for the incredibly succulent and aromatic pheasant. At the end, while sipping an espresso in truly Italian fashion, we had the pleasure to spend some time with owners Valentina, who is the genius mastermind behind the food menu, and Fabrizio, who is incredibly charming and knowledgeable when choosing the wines. Grazie ragazzi, we are very jealous Chester got you! Fil Andrea Vegetarian options: One option in the starters and two options in the mains. It goes without saying these aren't after thoughts vegetarian options :"

"We arrived on the Friday for a weekend stay as we were going to a festival nearby. The Friday night/Saturday staff were friendly and helpful, but all weekend the staff had a feel of this is just a weekend job, we 'd rather be elsewhere but still being friendly and attentive when required. Then it went wrong the sink in our en suite was blocked, clearly not a new issue judging by the disgusting gunk brought up the plughole when we tried to clean out teeth on the Friday night. We reported it sat morning and we were quickly moved to a bigger suite. This was nice but, for a new building, the bathroom had a strange musty smell. On Friday night when we arrived we asked about breakfast and we were told it was served till 10am, but we 'd prefer you didn 't come down at 5 to . Sat breakfast was good. Sunday we turned up at 0940 to be told the kitchens had stopped cooking. We spoke to the chef/manager who said the kitchens stopped cooking at 0945. Then, presumably realising our disapproval, he offered to cook us something in a way that made us feel like he was doing us a favour (ie, he 'd shut down early and been caught out! . We declined and went back to our room to pack. On arriving back in our room I checked the time just approaching 0945. We 'll not be going back there for next year 's festival. Well find somewhere where we don 't feel like we 're an inconvenience to the staff, especially the manager (we 're still waiting for any kind of apology btw..."
