Due' Cucina - Roosevelt

My co-worker and I stopped in here for lunch based on reviews on Yelp. Yelp did not disappoint. This place is absolutely FABULOUS. They make their own pasta on site and you can definitely tell the difference. It was delicious.There are a lot of options on the menu, and you get to pick what pasta you want in your dish.I had a truffle mushroom pasta dish that was OUT OF THIS WORLD good. I can eat a lot, and I couldn't finish my lunch.The portion sizes are reasonable for the price.They lose a star as they don't have diet soda to order and your lunch doesn't come with a slice of bread, you have to pay extra for it. Pasta should always come with a roll or piece of bread for scooping the last of your pasta/sauce, imo.Seating was plentiful, the restaurant was clean (but chilly so bring a jacket), and parking can be found on the side streets near the restaurant.I would definitely stop by here for lunch again.

This review is from a person with celiac disease: I just came here to check it out and ask about the gluten free pasta. They have gluten free pasta, but it is NOT safe to eat if you have celiac or an allergy. They informed me they cook all the pasta in the same water. Consider all pasta here to be glutinous.I will be very happy to come back if they decide to buy a pot just for gf pasta! The food looks delicious.EDIT to respond to the business' comment: I'm really not sure why the restaurant even advertises gluten free pasta if it is so clearly not gluten free. Or why not also clearly mark in the signage that it is 100% very contaminated??? A very confusing business decision that makes me feel like they don't understand why people would need to order gluten free to begin with.

overall (4/5): I was in the area so I decided to come back and try it again, and this time the pasta is hot and well cooked. food (4/5) I got the mushroom truffle oil pasta with the sausage, and it was delicious! it was very creamy, and the truffle flavor was strong. the serving is pretty big too. my only complaint is that it was slightly too salty.service (5/5): the pasta came out quickly! I went in the afternoon after peak hour.ambiance (5/5): very spacious and has wifi too!

Stopped here for a quick lunch during a trip to Seattle and was pleasantly surprised. Everything tasted pretty fresh and flavorful. The pasta was cooked perfectly and honestly it was great for the price. I sat on the patio as the weather was nice. Service was friendly too. They also had some cute merch but I didn't have enough room in my carry on. Maybe next time!

I came here a while back, and Due'Cucina is a place I recommend if you are interested in a fast-casual Italian restaurant. The restaurant was laid back and had plenty of seating. It was also my first time here, and the cashier was patient with me throughout the ordering process. I ordered the Bucatini with the Kale Pesto sauce, adding fried tofu and the ghost chili oil. The presentation of the meal turned out nice. Flavor-wise, it was what I expected, and the Bucatini was made to perfection. The ghost chili oil added a slight kick, but I wish it were more spicier. The food was great and I would love to comeback to try the other sauces.

Due is always a reliable option when my pasta cravings arise. I love that the location is kitty corner from the Roosevelt Link Light Rail, which makes it super convenient for those that roll car-free in the city. Ordering is straight forward: Choose your sauce, pasta, and add-ons. My go to is their Bolognese with bucatini. I love the texture of the bucatini and the Bolognese is so comforting, especially when sprinkled with chili flakes. I normally don't order any add-ons as this is more than enough food to fill me up. I have tried the short rib ragu, mushroom & white truffle oil and smoked salmon options. While those are tasty, it's tough for me to deviate from my usual Bolognese. There's plenty of seating and I appreciate the laid back vibe of Due, as I often dine here solo.

I was expecting this chain to be "good Italian food" to the extent that Chipotle is "good Mexican food", but this was better than I expected! The ravioli (4/5 stars) was actually al dente and was delicious, the Burrata (3/5 stars) was good but not particularly noteworthy or impressive. Service (5/5 stars) was fast and servers were kind. The ambiance (5/5 stars) was "fast casual" where you order on a tablet and the food is brought out to you. I was disappointed to see the "good" food safety writing and a little uncomfortable to see they hung the sign so low on the front door - it seemed a little deceitful.

Forget the fu fu. This is just simple dammed good food. Home made pasta. Total happiness

We have eaten here many times and the food never disappoints. It's one of the few restaurants where I get different dishes. The Pomodora, Carbonara, Ragu, and Bolgonese are always delicious. The Mushroom w/ white truffle oil is divine if you like the fungi.

Overall this place is reliable and has good pasta. I tend to come after work and it's never super busy so ordering is quick. It's mostly self service and you need to clean up after yourself. However the prices are decent and the place is clean. I've been at least 6 times by now and have ordered most of the pastas that I've been interested in. Will probably update the review once I get to all of them. Overall the texture of the pasta is great. They use fresh pasta so it's definitely chewier than the pasta that you get from stores. I also tend to get the sourdough bread on the side since I like bread. Traditional Bolognese Ragù - My go to order. It's flavorful and is exactly what I want in a pasta. Has a decent amount of meat and isn't too oily.Smoked Salmon - Just okay, I thought it was too salty overall and didn't really stand out compared to their other stuff. Pomodoro - pretty good but not as filling as the others so I only order this when I'm not that hungryShort Ribs Ragu - my second favorite after the ragu. The meat is good and it's not too salty. I've only gotten the side salad once since I wanted to try it but it was not that good. The salad didn't seem very fresh and it didn't really stand out.I've also gotten the Arancini and it's decent but not really my thing. Something just tastes off about it and I can't tell what it is.
