What a nice custom Italian spot.It is clean, it is fresh and good quality ingredients.We stopped by to try for our first time and was pleasantly surprised how quaint and fun and unique the experience was. Staff was nice, nothing crazy customer service wise. But nice enough.Of everything that they do, I’d say the thing worth your wallet is the sauce. Quality and unique flavors they do. And they do it well.Is a little more than I would normally spend for the portion. But it still was a treat.
Amazing italian food minus the fine dining italian ambience. My go-to pasta spot all over Seattle. They have amazingly fresh made pasta served with delicious fresh sauce and ingredients. We stopped by on a Saturday evening and boy this place was busy. We ordered the mushroom and white truffle oil pasta, pomodoro pasta with homemade pork sausage and the bolognese. Needless to say all these pasta dishes were amazing but i LOVED the mushroom pasta. It was beyond delicious and so satisfying. We also ordered the sourdough and highly recommend their eggplant parmigiana (one of the best I have EVER had). I also ordered a side of their chilli oil but that was not spicy for my palette so I would skip that next time. The food is delicious and flavorful and is ready in a very short span of time. you can dine in or order to-go. Staff is friendly and churns out dishes pretty quick. Since it is in Totem Lake there is plenty of parking. Will like to try their tiramisu the next time I am here. Highly recommend.
Just bad food. Pasta wasn’t made how we ordered, heavy cream on bolognese and lasagna (horrible). Super greasy food. Eggplant parm and lasagna was cold in the middle. Only good thing was the bread.Response to the owner: thank you for reaching out and I understand some nights are good, some are bad. I did not ask for cream on our bolognese, it was pink when it came out from the kitchen and the pasta was very hard. My kids didn’t tell us until they stopped half way through and asked us to taste it. My wife had the eggplant parmigiana and she said it tasted burnt. She pulled the bottom off it and ate the top and middle which was cold. She usually powers through it and I am the one that sends it back but it was Valentine’s Day so we just let it go. The lasagna was cold in the middle, had tons of cheese on the top and also had a pink appearance. I took 3 bites and stopped eating it. I will email you and we can discuss further. May be an off night since the pics and reviews do not align with my experience
We had some wonderful pasta here. It's a cozy place next to the cinemark in Totem lake. One of the finest pastas I've had around Greater Seattle area. It's mostly a takeout place with few tables available for Dine in.
Came here on a Wed night at 8:30pm. One of the pastas came out not very hot (lasagna medium, carbonara lukewarm). My pregnant fiance complained and the lady kindly offered to replace her lasagna with a hot one. I’ve had better carbonara elsewhere (my fav pasta to order). Eggplant salad was very good.
Eggplant parmigiana is absolutely brilliant! Loved the mushroom & truffle oil pasta , double shot of espresso ? surely worth a try anyway
This pasta was so good! This was the Bolognese. So flavorful and the parmesan cheese finished it off.One comment, the al dente... A little raw on some pieces... Some of them had a slight hardened crunch to them. Still really good but I'm wondering if this is a trend. 2nd pasta I've tried at this restaurant and they're both a little undercooked for my taste.
A friend pointed this place out in the area I live in and I felt like "Fresh pasta? Might ask well give it a try". I was not disappointed. One of my pet peeves is that when you go to an Italian restaurant there is a given pairing between pasta shape and sauce. Not at Due' Cucina. You choose the sauce, then the pasta and then the toppings. The dish was quite good and definitely worth a repeat. So I decided to get dinner via Uber Eats (salmon pasta) and was not disappointed. Really simple, but nice food that warms the heart.
Had Eggplant Parmesan here. Was really good, however, I’d prefer less oil.it was really easy to order through the kiosk and the food was ready in under 10 minutes, so if you’re looking for some quick italian, this is a nice place. Not a lot of meat options though. Will come here again.
Fresh, interesting recipes. My first time trying this menu…was looking for something different and needed a delivery option because I’m temporarily without my car. I ordered eggplant parmigiana, kale pesto bruschetta and the marinated eggplant salad with the expectation that I’d be able to have a few meals’ worth of leftovers, which is my general rule of thumb when I order takeout/delivery. TLDR: food was delicious but the portions were some of the smallest I’ve encountered in a long time. I improvised on the fly and cooked a small pot of linguine to supplement my eggplant parm. After divvying up my delivery and adding my pasta and sauce, I have dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow and one more meal. I think I will try this again but in-person dining to cut down on the pricey markup and hopefully can enjoy the menu as intended. (I’m normally not a penny-pincher when it comes to good food but I also favour value as part of the experience, especially when a kid’s menu sized meal is usually enough to fill me up)I love eggplant and cheese and the eggplant parmigiana definitely had a lovey blend of both.
