My partner and myself stumbled upon La Notte this evening whilst we ventured out to Lygon Street. We had not checked any reviews online but were sold by the man who greeted us whilst looking at the menus, who promised us we'd be impressed with our food from the first bite and he was not wrong.
The staff were quick to take our order, and the food was served extremely fast. The portions were the perfect size and the meals were absolutely beautiful.
The restaurant itself isn't anything fancy, but the food and friendly staff make up for that.
I cannot wait to return again sometime in the future as dining at La Notte was a highlight of our holiday.
On a Friday evening not knowing where to dine we travelled from Melbourne CBD to Lygon Street, Carlton and very spontaneously came across La Notte. We've never heard any reviews about this place from friends or online but decided to have dinner at La Notte. I must say we left happy. Everything I tasted was delicious. I wouldn't call La Notte a posh restaurant but it's a nice restaurant to dine with friends and family. The decor and furniture were pretty old. All staff that served us were very friendly, attentive, and polite. It wasn't busy for a Friday evening maybe that's why the staff had enough time to be so attentive. Thank you for making our experience a positive one. We will be back for more delicious Italian food. I highly recommend everyone to pay a visit to La Notte. They sure do make you happy customers.

La Notte is one of many Italian options along the popular Lygon St restaurant strip. I came to dine at the restaurant with my boyfriend after a day out, and it was one of the few restaurants who didn't have an incessant staff member outside the restaurant, pushing menus in our faces. This could've also been due to the fact that it wasn't yet dinner time, but I digress...We each had the pastas on the specials menu, and enjoyed our food. The restaurant wasn't too busy, so the staff were extra attentive, with one waiter bringing us the big Specials Menu to peruse, and leaving it beside our table. We received our food quite quickly, and the serves were generous.Whilst we enjoyed the food, and would return again, the restaurant itself is in need of a makeover. The decor is quite tired and drab, and much of the restaurant looks like it hasn't been updated in decades. As great as the food was, the atmosphere was lacking, and I feel like that outdated, muted nature of the restaurants furnishings added to this.
Went here for dinner last night and we had a 9 course degustation meal. The entrees were very nice as well as the pasta. The lamb was probably over cooked and the desert was sensational. The service was very friendly.
HI everybody!
What a lovely experience to have a meal at LA NOTTE.
First of all: I was late to my pre-booked table : did phone the restaurant and, only had a very warm welcome. The waitress had a sincere and beautiful smile (sorry I did not get your name yesterday (Tue 08 March): Thanks for bringing me a glas of ice water which was very much needed due to high high temperatures. Also Mike and other staff members were so friendly: TOP SERVICE INDEED.
The Restaurant has a lot of character and, it is very well established for some 31 years! The food was freshly prepared and, well presented: great taste too! Had my drink immediately served plus a jar of iced water.
It was a lovely experience and, will come back again & will take some pics. Thanks/Grazie tante: you deserv e 10!! Ci vediamo!
We came to this place with a groupon voucher and we had the nine dish disgustation with wine for 2 people deal. The food was really delicious, everything was impressive from entry down to dessert. The service was exceptional and this gentleman - Michael, was so friendly and professional, providing us with such a good vibe, which makes our dinner such a wonderful experience. Thank you :)
Have been here a few times. We have had the seafood platter a few times. Very fresh. Amazing chilli mussels. Attentive staff and a great atmosphere. I will be back here for sure.
La Notte for me is one of the 'finds' of 2015 with superb Italian fare with front of house backing up the experience all the way. La Notte comes highly recommended, especially for lunch on a warm day there's no better place in Lygon St. Expect to part with around $35 of your hard earned for 2 courses + drinks
I had dinner with family at this restaurant last week. It was my third visit here and I've always found the quality of the food fairly consistent. The waitress who looked after us for the night was lovely and very helpful. We ordered the lemon pepper calamari for our entree. Gnocchi Ragu, Rigatoni Amatriciana, linguine carbonara, spaghetti marinara and the home-made lasagna. The favourite dish for the night would have been the cabonara- the sauce was just right and wasn't too heavy.
All in all, we all enjoyed our dinner here. The price is quite alright for the serving you receive from it but it's definitely a lot more worth it if you share it the dishes out with a number of other people.
This is a nice place for sea food platters, and desserts. friendly and attentive staff,
great atmosphere, nothing's wrong with this place at all.
One of my favorite places for lunch when I am on a break. The restaurant is close to my work and we are often visitors with my colleagues. I love the Alfredo pasta - it is always fresh and well-prepared.
Very impressed by the breadth of the menu, reasonable prices and quality of the cuisine.
The staff are very attentive and the interior is carpeted so patrons don't have to deal with that shrill cacophony that happens in a lot of modern eateries.
