25.01.2022 Thanks again to all the customers that continue to support us. Every little bit helps at this stage. Due a few changes on our end we we will be amending our trading hours, these changes are at this stage only temporary. Our delivery partners are still active during this time and they are being generous by dropping their commisions so more of the money from your orders comes to us which is a fantastic offer from them. ... We hope you all continue to stay healthy and be safe, we hope to see you soon.

22.01.2022 All of us here at Da Ricardo's would like to say a big thankyou to all the support whether through takeaway or via messages over the past few weeks and now its just going to get harder. We wish all our customers and community a safe and healthy 6 weeks ahead. Please lets all do what we have to so we can get everyone back to their jobs and save our businesses and families.

18.01.2022 Hi everyone, WE ARE STILL OPEN! Unfortunately we weren't able to open for larger number so we are still at 20ppl, so it is still BOOKINGS ONLY. We would like to thank all the customers that have shown us their support whether by dining in or ordering take away. Its community support that all our local businesses need right now. ... Please remember to BOOK EARLY as our available tables go quickly. 9725 0112 Hope to see many of you soon.

18.01.2022 We are happy to be back in business. A huge thankyou to all the customers and community that supported us through this time. What a 24hrs, we have been swamped with phone calls, emails, online inquiries from customers wanting to book. We really are grateful for the support. Due to the overwhelming response we will be taking bookings via phone only at this stage. Please be patient with us as we navigate through the new rules, get our cleaning schedules in order and training ou...r staff. As much as we would like to be back to normal, this is not where we are yet so your understanding during this transition would be appreciated. Our revised trading hours are Mon & Tues - CLOSED Wed, Thurs & Sun - 5pm to 9pm Fri & Sat 5pm 9.30pm We will only be able to accommodate 20 people per night, so bookings are essential. Masks will be mandatory, however once seated, they can be removed. Tables will be a maximum of 8 and mingling between tables will be discouraged. If we are unable to accommodate your booking this week, our takeaway menu is still available and we would still love your support. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

17.01.2022 The 30 page Government Hospitality Guidelines Document was too long to post so we've hopefully covered it all here, we will have extensive cleaning measures in place for the foreseeable future and yes, we do have to take your and contact number, it is recorded for 28 days at which point we will destroy the information. As we are a family owned and run business, not only are our customers health and safety paramount so is ours, as such we have exceeded some of the basic guidel...ine measures and look for your understanding and support during this time, if you have any questions regarding the COVID-19 guidelines in relation and how it applies to Da Ricardo's, please contact Rossette 0422966072 or email [email protected] BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL #usethemorlosethem #shoplocal #yummyfood #instagood #instafood #lovethesupport #couldntdoitwithoutyou #nowmorethanever #restaurant #supportsmallbusiness #daricardosrestaurant #weareback #booknow #safetyfirst #smallbusinessneedourhelp #daricardos #socialdistancing #besafe #protecteachother #bookingsareessential #dontmissout #limitedcapacity See more

17.01.2022 Thankyou comes in so many forms, today ours in in words. Opening last night, having people sitting at our tables, enjoying their meals. After months of silence, listening to the talking and laughter was an incredible feeling. To all our customers that have booked with us, we thank you. We know there has been alot of disappointed people too because we are booked weeks in advance, we hope that things will stay on track and we can take your bookings when our density restrictions ease. Keep trying, on the chance we may have cancellations or number drops. Please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. 9725 0112 We cant wait to have you all back again.

15.01.2022 We do understand its tough times for everyone but we and the rest of the shops in the strip are getting very irritated by the continuous dumping of rubbish. Whilst it may seem harmless to just leave bags of food rubbish at all our bins, it creates a much bigger problem. From food rubbish illegally dumped, the crows attack the bags, then the mice and rats appear, and where are rodents, there attracts snakes. Not to mention the health and saftey that are created for our food businesses. Council has been notified and EPA has also received video footage. This is disgusting and very disappointing not just for us who have to clean it up and pay to have the rubbish removed but for the cleanliness of our beautiful suburb.

13.01.2022 Wishing all the Mothers, Grandmothers, Great Grandmothers, Aunties, Mother in Laws and all the special women that play such a special role in our lives a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! We hope you have a special day filled with love. We will be open today from 11.30am - 2pm and 5pm - 8pm. We have already begun taking orders for pickup, our delivery partners UberEats & Doordash will also be active. #mothersday #giftvoucher #atouchofpink #celebratemum #specialwomen #shoplocal #yummyfood #instagood #instafood #lovethesupport #couldntdoitwithoutyou #restaurant #supportsmallbusiness #menulog #ubereats #delivery #takeaway #daricardosrestaurant #daricardos #socialdistancing

12.01.2022 What a great feeling tonight! Serving meals on plates to customers again, seeing people laugh and chat away while they enjoy their meal. 20 people may not sound like much but it sure is better than staring at empty tables and chairs. A big thankyou for all that dined with us tonight, for following all the signs and guidelines that have been provided to us. It makes it easier having understanding customers. ... What a fantastic start, we look forward to seeing many new faces and catching up with all our loyal regulars. See you all soon (but not all at once!) BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL 97250112

10.01.2022 This is so hard to look at everyday, so much hard work, literally blood, sweat, tears and love have gone into building this business over the past 15 years and to watch it come to this is gut wrenching. Whilst we are open for takeaway, it has dropped dramatically in lockdown 2.0 And now, they want to remove the few people that were able to get jobkeeper and make them ineligible. I ask our Federal MP Michael Sukkar to bring a news crew and stand in front of us as a long stan...ding local business, a business that supports five families, that employs 12+ young people and has given employment to so many young people in over the past decade and explain to us and them why busineses like ours won't be able to do that in the future because we dont have the support of our Federal MP and our local & federal government. Whilst we may understand the reasoning for only being able to open for takeaway and we can respect that, we cannot understand how our government can sit back and watch hard working families lose everything they've worked so hard to create. Our restaurant may not seem like much to you but it helps keep our local economy going, we have always supported our other local businesses, we provide our service to them but we also buy our produce, wine, dry goods, services, etc from them. We provide jobs where we can to young people for as long as possible. All of that could soon end without MORE support for the hospitality industry, its your lack of understanding to that fact that has hundreds if not thousands of local restaurants/cafes falling to its knees. Take a moment away from your secure 220+k salary and your probable pay rise and sit with us while we watch our business and other businesess like ours disappear NEVER to return. See more

10.01.2022 And here we are again! LOCKDOWN 2.0 All of us at Da Ricardo's are sending out best wishes to all the businesses like us who were just finding their feet again. We hope that you make it through this next stage. To all our customers that have shown us so much support, we thank you so very much. We hope that continues as we remain OPEN for takeaway until instructed otherwise. ... Our take away is available for Pickup by phone 97250112 or via MenuLog, our delivery options are via UberEats & Doordash. MON - Closed / TUES to SUN - 5pm to 8pm Please stay safe and healthy. #supportlocal #usethemorlosethem #shoplocal #yummyfood #instagood #instafood #lovethesupport #couldntdoitwithoutyou #nowmorethanever #restaurant #supportsmallbusiness #menulog #ubereats #delivery #takeaway #daricardosrestaurant #smallbusinessneedourhelp #daricardos #socialdistancing #besafe #protecteachother

03.01.2022 With the ease of restrictions, we are able to take more bookings... the phones have been a little crazy since the announcement yesterday morning so we apologise to anyone having issues getting through. Bookings are still essential while numbers are limited but with the increase in numbers hopefully comes more flexibility. We will still maintain our Covid Trading hours to help us continue the additional cleaning schedules. We thank all our diners that have been very understanding about this. We look forward to seeing you soon. #daricardos #restaurant #fortydiners #thankyou #daricardosrestaurant #instafood #welcomeback #dinein #supportlocal #supporteachother #foodcoma #restrictionsease #welldonemelbourne

03.01.2022 As many of you know, in addition to our daily cleaning, we do a kitchen wash every 3 months but we did a extra one yesterday in preparation for our limited dine in opening tonight. At 150+ degrees, 99.9% of all germs/grime/oil etc is removed from all surfaces. All surfaces have been sanitised throughout the restaurant and staff will be performing additional cleaning of all high touch surfaces with a wipe down of all other surfaces at the end of each dinner service.... We look forward to seeing many of you back, please remember we are BOOKINGS ONLY, to assist in controlling capacity issues ph:97250112 TAKE AWAY ALSO AVAILABLE
