Due — Restaurant in New York

Where to being, where to begin. We chose to go to Due based on a recommendation by a friend. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. Walking into the restaurant, we were promptly greeted by the Owner, Ernesto. He made sure we were personally greeted and seated and set us up promptly with a glass of wine. Making suggestions to us, he was spot on with bringing a lovely rose wine for my wife and a perfect red for myself. After our server took our order, a different server brought us bread and butter, a different server refilled our waters, and a different server checked on us. I don't look at this as a bad thing, I look at it is a well {olive} oiled machine. Our first course we ordered was the beef carpaccio. Amazing. The chilled slices of beef paired with parmigiano, rugola, and fresh squeezed lemon was an unmatched harmony. My wife enjoyed a bowl of the lentil soup. Coming from a guy who doesn't like lentil soup, I definitely stole a few (or dozen) bites. As our entrees neared, we definitely worried that we wouldn't have room, but to no avail, we found room for the best part of the meal. My wife had the linguini with clam sauce and I chose the fusilli with radicchio and bacon. My dish paired extremely well with my wine and hers the same. I honestly couldn't get the food from the dish, to the fork, to my mouth fast enough. The cheese and smokey flavors from the bacon created a dish that can't soon be forgotten. My wife's linguini and clams had such a fresh, clean taste that she was disappointed that she didn't have room for the last few bites of a very generous portion. For dessert we shared a creme brulee. It was everything we hoped: that wonderful shell on top and a creamy, vanilla body. Her Earl Grey tea was rivaled by none while my cappuccino left nothing to be desired. Overall, would we go back to Due? The question should be: how soon can we get back to Due? Unfortunately we are from out of town and it will be a while until we get back. But please believe that we will be back every chance we get to see Ernesto and his staff. They definitely make you feel like you are part of his...

I always wanted to visit, but I was always busy and didn’t see the urgency based on the reviews.

But I finally got the chance too and it was amazing, Marco our waiter was very charming and knowledgeable.
