We are a casual-gourmet Italian restaurant serving fresh handmade pasta dishes, appetizers and desserts. We want everybody to experience the way we eat pasta and Italian food at home: fresh and authentic food, prepared from scratch every day, with an affordable price tag.
This was my first visit to Due Cucina, and my initial impression was that the restaurant has a sleek, modern design with an Italian flair. The pasta looked great but was a bit firm and greasy for my taste. I added extra cheese and egg, but the dish ended up feeling a little too salty overall.
We were celebrating my friend's birthday today and we absolutely loved the food and vibes in Due Cucina. We ordered the Campanelle Mushroom with White Truffle Oil and Buratta Tricolore and both items were amazing. So glad that my friend picked this place! Will definitely be back with my family next to try other items. Can't wait!
Solid pasta! You order at the kiosk, select your pasta and sauce, then they call your name. I got the braised ragu and it was delicious. No complaints, I would come here again!
Amazing food and even better staff. We order two appetizers and four entrees, still under 100 bucks!!!! Can’t beat the quality of price.
The pasta is made in the store that I ordered the spaghetti with smoke salmon is so yum.😋 The employees friendly greet and introduce the meal. I definitely will come back several times that is close where I live. Fresh food and tasty sauce
Ordered takeout, the pasta was good though small portion for the money. It was prepared pretty quickly though. Our takeout didn’t come with utensil so if you need them don’t forget to ask. It’s located right off the street with few parking spots right outside and more in the mall.
Food - I got the kale pesto with bucatini and fried tofu. The sauce was watery and bland, the pasta was overly soft. The tofu was good and the only redeeming factor. A microwave pasta meal would be faster, cheaper, and tastier. Service - ordering is done through a kiosk, you pick up your order at the counter and bus your own table. I like this style of self service. Atmosphere - good casual atmosphere. The restaurant was well lit and the table was clean. It was pretty busy but still didn't get too loud.
Stopped in for a quick dinner. Due is a fast-casual format - order & pay at the counter. Find seating. When ready, go up and retrieve your dishes. When finished, bus your plates and cutlery. The menu pirates pasta. One can also get salads. The pasta was prepared well. The sauces were decent. The dining room was clean. The employees were helpful & friendly. I would eat here again if in the area.
Vegetarian options: Pasta with veggies or olive oil Kid-friendliness: Simple ingredients Food : 5/5 |
Fast and affordable fresh delicious pasta. There needs to be more locations.
Great Italian food
As an Italian American I was especially impressed with the quality of the food.
Good pasta
Really yummy! They have a great range of simple pasta dishes to more robust/saucy options. The noodles are always cooked perfectly AND THE BURRATA SALAD IS INSANNNEEEE.
The place to go when you want to eat a fresh made authentic Italian pasta
Such a unique and interesting experience! The pasta is great, especially the carbonara and pesto. There is such a wide array of options for guests here and the general ambiance is awesome. I would definitely give this restaurant a shot, I doubt you ll regret it :)
Staff was polite and place was clean.
Love love love the food and the staff are always amazing. Repeat customer.

The food was amazing. One of the best pasta places Ive ever visited.
Amazing Parking: Good Kid-friendliness: Great
Always a treat! Great spot for a yummy meal
simple fast delicious
Did not expect to enjoy this so much. Tasty, fast, and inexpensive. Came here with a big group of adults and kids and everyone was happy with their order.
Food was ok. Portions were way to small for what I paid for.
Fantastic homemade pasta for a great price. Super easy to just pop in and get a great plate of pasta, I dont think Ive had a single bad meal here
Simply fantastic, my daughter loves ot
Such a slay experience
Fresh, fast, and delicious! Very kid friendly and super tasty food. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and plenty of high chairs
Great place to get your pasta fix easily. Love the short rib pasta! Can get crowded at times.
Love the food, great quick lunch option for the whole family! Service always really nice.
Authentic Italian food with reasonable prices. The serving size is not too large. An alternative to Olive Garden.
Very good option to go with kids. Service is super fast Parking: Easy to find parking for free Food : 3/5 |
Very Fresh food
I love this concept of fast and tasty Italian food. Their food never disappoints and their staff are always friendly.
Our go to pasta place. Always fresh. Quick service.
Great food, great atmosphere, quick service. Great for lunch breaks!
Delish
Reminds me of my grandmother s pasta every time!
It was my first time going, and it was pretty packed, but the service was so fast and everyone was so nice! The noodles were fantastic!
This is our second time dining and it is consistently amazing food and experience
Vegetarian options: I love the tofu Food
Love this place, quiet and easy to get in and out of quickly as needed!
Quick and easy ordering and fast service. Great food! Vegetarian options: They have several options for vegetarians which is nice. Food : 5/5 |
Our fave italian place with kids. Pasta is always perfectly al dente!
Excellent food and atmosphere. Pastas were delicious and salad was ok. Would skip the arancini since it s weird with the stuff in the middle. Fun being able to pick your pasta and sauces. Highly recommend the pastas!
Parking: Public parking garage is across the street. Food
The salad, Bolognese sauce with el dente spaghetti noodles, perfectly complete!! Very positive interactive experience! I highly recommend this establishment! With gratitude, Barb
I have been addicted to this place for so long, it is definitely a must try. This place has been one of my all time favorites for so long I m obsessed.
So delicious! I ordered for the first time and definitely want to try everything!
Great authentic quick bite pasta cafe! Good selection of dishes and you can pick the type of noodle, ranging from soft to firm. It would be nice if they had a more traditional alfredo or cream sauce dish. Also, for the short rib ragu and Bolognese they are both pretty good but they could use just a little bit more meat.
so yummy!
The food here is delicious, basically like pasta you would find in Italy. I have been many times and its always great!
Great and Reasonable price
I tried this place once and wasn t impressed; the pasta was just okay. After giving it a second chance today, I m not sure I ll return. They market their pasta as al dente, but I wouldn t describe it that way it felt more chewy than anything else. Not the normal al dente firmness with a little chewiness. The staff is very friendly though!
I am a chef. I am incredibly particular about mai Bolognese. I asked them for just a sample of bolognese And they gave me one one. It was a decent size sample too. Unfortunately I didnt order it because it is somewhat carrot forward and my son does not like carry it forward Bolognese. But the service was great, the quality of the sauce was phenomenal. If it had just been me ordering for myself, I definitely would have enjoyed some of that Hardy bolognaise on some of that beautiful looking fresh made pasta. I will definitely grab that next time Im in town, until then, thanks for the sample
Quick and Delicious!
Great spot, good prices and delicious food! Seating can be little difficult but worth the wait!
Great food , awesome service! Vegetarian options: Great crunchy tofu option! Food : 5/5 |
My favorite pasta place! It is really rare to find guanciale in US, which adds great flavor for Italian pasta!!
Absolutely love this place!! I ve been going to the Capitol Hill location for years and the Totem Lake is gorgeous :-) The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very clean/classy. Would absolutely recommend for an elevated casual lunch/dinner.
The food wasn t too bad. They have you order at a kiosk, signs everywhere to bus your own table and then when you check out it asks for tip??? What service am I tipping for? Probably won t be back since there isn t really a wow factor and the menu is pretty small.
Love this spot
I absolutely love that Due Cucina has created a fast casual Italian experience. Their pastas are always great, cooked perfectly, and their sauces are great.
Best Italian!! Ever!! Sauce was awesome!! The Pasta was incredible it all was just amazing!! Thanks!
This pasta is SO GOOD!! I crave it often and it always hits the spot.
Great simple tasty concept - Lots of options and service Food
Im in love with this place Their pasta is just the best Everything that you want from pasta - taste, structure, smell, freshness. Omg , nothing can beat fresh pasta with mushrooms from this place Food : 5/5
Excellent service and food.
We come to Kirkland because the place has great food. My grandkids love the place my grandson Vince asked if we were going to the noodle place and I told him theres no other place to go thats makes great noodles and great variety of sauces.
It s always great coming here. The food service and atmosphere are nice and casual. It s my go to spot every weekend. Parking: There s two parking garages and you can also park on this street. It s not been a problem for me. That s part of the reason why it might go to spot super easy great and casual.
Enjoyed variety os pasta options including vegetarian and gluten free
I love the grilled eggplant salad they use fresh ingredients, their torta della nonna is also delicious.
Great food for a great price! Super fast and perfect portions!
Love the atmosphere and variety of pasta combinations. Very quick service and laid back atmosphere. The mushroom & truffle oil is a must try!
Best pasta around. My 14 year old brother said that when he gets a girlfriend, hell take her here for a first date.
Delicious
I usually go to Due cucina for a taste of Italian pasta. Every plate I tried (carbonara, cacio&pepe, kale pesto, short ribs ragú...) it reminds me Italy.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan options Food
We love this place! Fresh pasta and fast service, cosy eating spot where everyone is happy. Kids bambino sizes are a good deal, bread is delicious and it s our go-to place at totem lake. Eggplant salad is my fav. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is a good deal and the right size
Always good!!!
I really wanted to like this place, but its just ok. Just a bowl or really overpriced pasta that can be made better at home. The fresh pasta is a nice touch, and thats why I would give it 3 stars.
Kid-friendliness: Great to have a juices available and kid friendly atmosphere Food
I had the short rib pasta you can order your food via kiosk seat yourself and wait for your name to be called. A wonderful stress free and affordable Italian experience
The pasta lacked flavor, was undercooked. overall, the food was bland.
Really good, consistent homemade pasta. Highly recommend.
Quick and easy and so so delicious!!!
Loved the place. Would love to go more often Vegetarian options: Lots of options Dietary restrictions: N/A Kid-friendliness: Very kids friendly
Love the mushroom and truffle pasta!
I always judge a new Italian restaurant by their lasagna. The lasagna was amazing. A bit small, but perfect for lunch.
It was a very nice and cozy place to dine in. Prices were reasonable and their pasta are freshly made. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options to choose from. Parking: There is a garage parking and it is free
Vegetarian options: N/a Parking: Parking lot has spaces. Food : 5/5 |
I like that they text you when you order is ready
Delicious al dente pasta!! Kid-friendliness: They have a childrens menu with a smaller portion Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs or slopes in the premises.
Love this place. They are prompt friendly and they always get the order right. The food is delicious.
great food Parking: parking though out the village Food : 4/5 |
Parking: You can park on the street, outside or inside car park and it is a short walk of a couple of minutes to the restaurant. Outside parking can get full quickly but inside always plenty Kid-friendliness: It s family friendly. We have seen children of all ages there. Pram access may be tight between tables. Also not sure if they have changing facilities. Wheelchair accessibility: On one level and no stairs so would be easy to get in and out. Can be tight on space I side between tables so that may prove an issue. Also the ordering system is high and so may. It be easy to be seen however there is a person who can take your order.
Bland. After trying several dishes over multiple visits, that s been the one constant attribute
So I liked everything about this place other than the food lol. I m pretty hard to please with Italian in the first place and didn t even want to go here but I was forced to. I just didn t care for the sauce or even the texture of the pasta. Then to top it off they DO NOT HAVE BREADSTICKS OR GARLIC BREAD. Like WTH, that is the one thing I actually love about Italian food haha. So this was just a big miss for me. I m sure it is good for people into Italian but I m good. I will see you at any other Italian restaurant with garlic bread in hand :) fyi I voted for the Korean bbq next door.
Quick service, great food!
Overpriced and basic taste. Meh
Food is pretty basic. One of the pastas was really salty. No service and they still ask for tip
Vegetarian options: As strict vegetarians, it is our go to Italian place Parking: The indoor parking is very close and convenient Kid-friendliness: The store is located in a very vibrant shopping complex with a lot of option for kids to play
Best pasta in town, great atmosphere and service.
Overall great experience and good food. I always love coming to this restaurant because I know I ll have a good bowl of pasta.
Excellent food! Perfect service!
Easy to order, prompt service, yummy food.
From NYC, Im disappointed by the food choices here and especially Italian. This location is surprisingly very good with great pasta. They make fresh pasta here, which is essential for good pastas.
Order Carbonara for the 4th time today but too salty for some reason. Hope the chef can help to hold the quality a bit. Noodle is still good. Food
Delicious pasta.
My favorite pasta place. Affordable. Delicious. Family friendly.
this place eats
my favorite place to get pasta that is made from scratch in front of you, pasta is soft and fresh!
Great food and great people! Kid-friendliness: easy for kids to order food! Food : 5/5 |
The pasta is fantastic, well made and cooked. Overall I felt the quality is one of the best I have tried in the US so far. Portions are Italian size and the price/quality point is unbeatable in Washington. Pasta shouldn t really cost 20$ (or more) as it is often seen here (together with other foods), so this affordable year remarkable option is truly welcome.
The ambiance looks so much better the Seattle location. Good food.
Always lovely staff and delicious food! Met one of the owners for the first time. Filippo was funny and helpful - just like the rest of the staff usually is!
Great food; fast and conveniently located in the totem lake plaza. Parking: The parking garage is a bit hidden in the back of the plaza but there is a ton of parking always available! Food : 5/5 |
Their pasta is absolutely delicious
Kids and family friendly. The food is fresh and tasty and does not take too long to be prepared. Highly recommend!
Parking: Behind restaurant is a very large covered parking spot, well lit with ample parking Food
Service and timeliness are always spot on. Could use a little more attention to consistency of dishes.
Food is always great, they have a small menu but they do it well! Wheelchair accessibility: Paved sidewalk and step free entrance. Food : 5/5 |
Parking: Lots of parking nearby Kid-friendliness: My toddler loves many of the pastas we have tried. Food : 5/5 |
Pasta was fantastic. Will order again.
I love Due Kid-friendliness: Awesome staff. Food : 5/5 |
Definetly a trip to Italy
Dué Cucina never disappoints, portions are good, service model is great and regardless of location you get consistent food, delicious pasta.
Great Place with good food at a causal price! Parking: Number of spots not available Food : 5/5 |
Great place, authentic food, high quality ingredients Kid-friendliness: Kids always find something to eat and enjoy, and the place accommodates them easily Food : 5/5 |
Photo speaks for itself. Something has changed. The carbonara used be like right out of Rome. Might just be an off night, I hope.
Great fresh pasta and salads, delicious tiramisu!!
Great food Parking: Right across street Food : 5/5 |
This place is absolutely awesome. When it comes to an efficient yet delicious meal, this is your place to go. The pasta is made perfectly and all of the sauces are to die for! The people are also super nice and are willing to help you if you need help pairing a right pasta with a sauce (it s a make your own type place). And on top of all of that, your dish is ready to go in usually under 8 min! YOU GOTTA GO HERE
We always love going to Due! The prices are very reasonable and the environment is very family-friendly
Al dente place
Fast and yummy. Staffs are friendly.
