Dua Trattoria

Dua Trattoria in Frisco offers truly exceptional dining. Every bite was remarkably fresh, full of flavor, and obviously prepared with great care. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauces were rich and nuanced, and the ingredients were of the highest quality. The service was equally exceptional. Armis provided attentive, friendly service that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. It is clear that this restaurant takes immense pride in its culinary offerings. This was undoubtedly one of the best meals we have had recently. We are eager to return and dine here again.

Visited for an early Sunday dinner with wife. Place has an elevated yet relaxed vibe, the booths were spacious. Loved the service, attentive and helpful. We tried the polenta- which was quite good, the seafood pasta could be less saltier, but the shrimps & mussels were cooked perfectly. The after-dinner coffee was excellent. Good place for a family lunch, business lunch or quality dinner.

Nice Italian restaurant with good options . Nice Ambience with a good fine dine experience. Tried polenta presented well and tasted amazing . Had some seafood pasta and vegetarian mushroom pasta . Came with some really fresh bread. Overall a good place to try from.

What a lovely way to celebrate a birthday! My husband and I came here for the first time and were so pleasantly surprised. The food, atmosphere and service were excellent! Loved being able to have some non pasta options too.

A great time all the way around. Good food and even better service! We celebrated three birthdays and our oldest (Grandpa got the “sexy” nod 🤣) Really enjoyed… they took the extra time and made the extra efforts to make it special. Brazo Zulu all around to the staff and the Chef!🧑‍🍳.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Alla Vodka with pappardelle pasta and fried chicken breast and it was everything I wanted it to be! Everyone was so nice from server to the bartender! I was part of a group and we had a private room and I was so amazed at how attentive the staff was. We were all treated like family and they even called us by our names! I will definitely come back!

I had a wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant in Frisco. The food was exquisite, the service was amazing, and the wines were spectacular. The ambiance was beautiful and welcoming. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back

Awesome Italian/Mediterranean spot with a fantastic wine selection. Half-priced bottles Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday. Cevapi & Goat Cheese with bread are great starter options. Paisano was a healthy and delicious rigatoni pasta dish and the only picture I snapped was of the Baklava cheesecake. Yes, it’s tasty. Moreover, the service at the bar from Ardita (Dita) is top notch, your glass won’t be empty for long and plenty of recommendations that won’t keep you guessing.

This was my 2nd time at Dua and honestly, I think people are gatekeeping this spot, but I won't ! We went on an early Saturday eve with no reservations and got seated right away. If you're dining solo, they have a huge bar where you can grab a cocktail and a bite to eat. I saw a number of people doing that and it was super chill. This place feels fancy and lux, but it's still casual enough that you don't have to dress up. My friend and I were in a laid back kind of mood and didn't feel out of place at all. Plus the service was top level. We started with the burek appetizer, it was flakey and warm and cheesy. This is a must order for me. Yum! I went with the Dua again a spicy seafood pasta that is incredible !!! It reminds me of a cioppino I used to love back in San Diego. Don't let the capers and anchovies scare you off, the anchovies dissolve into the sauce and give it this perfect salty kick that balanced the tomatoes. Ugh... soooo good ! They did tragically forget to bring us bread but my portion was so big , I took half home and enjoyed it later with some crusty bread. My friend got the chicken parm. She swore she'd only eat half but it was so yummy, she couldn't stop eating it and polished off the whole thing. Everything was stellar and surprisingly reasonably priced. I'm already planning on coming back to try the meat lasagna and sea bass piccata. This is not your typical basic pasta place. The menu has some really unique and thoughtful dishes and it made for such a fun girls' night out spot. Also perfect for a date night.

Perfect Private Party Location! I hosted a retirement party for my mentor tonight at DUA TRATTORIA, and they pulled off an amazing night for us. We had 50ish people and plenty of space in their private rooms. Food was raved about by all of our guests all night. The service was perfect, Sabina is amazing. The owner (Nick) was checking in to make sure everything was perfect, from the food to the temperature of the room. If you're looking for a great party space, check this place out. Everyone at the party was beyond impressed.

Dua trattoria experience went to dua trattoria in frisco and it was actually so good. the vibe is super chill--kind of classy but still relaxed. we got a bunch of small plates to share (the short rib ravioli and cevapi were fire ). they had live music too which made it feel fun but not too extra. def a good spot for a date or group dinner. would 100% go back. Service is quick too

Nik with Dua prepared, delivered and set up food in chafing dishes for the party at our house. It was delicious. My guests kept telling me how good it all was. He also labeled all the food for my animal based, gluten-free and dairy free guests. Thank you so much for doing such a great job!

Chris is absolutely amazing. He treats you like we are old friends, not just another table. The food is awesome and the atmosphere is on point!!

I have been wanting to go here because everyone in Frisco raves about this place. First and foremost, the service was spectacular. We only had four people but were seated in a massive, comfortable booth. I really enjoyed the Cevapi (Lamb Sausage) which was accompanied by an excellent sauce. From there, I didn't care too much for the main entrees. I had the Paesano and there wasn't much flavor to it. I enjoyed the simplicity of the olive oil sauce but wished there was more to it. The Lobster Fra Diavlo was so bland but the Julio Caesar was slightly better.

Tip: Make a reservation on Saturdays. This place was pretty packed on the Saturday that we were there. Food: I ordered the Cornish Hen, which was a lot of work, but WORTH IT. The chicken was very well seasoned and was juicy after being roasted to perfection. I wish the veggies had more seasoning. The Brussels sprouts were just boiled and did not taste like anything. It was disappointing! Ambiance: Live music was playing on the stage. It was very low key music so people can talk at their tables. However, because of how the building was built, sound bounced a lot off the walls and ceilings. The place was loud! Service: our server was great! She was stretched thin with the amount of tables that she had to support, but she was still friendly and came by to check in. I liked that her manager helped her out whenever he could!

We flew in on Thursday and had a reservation for Friday night (2) ... when we showed up, they said they didn't have one for us ... no, wait, they did! So, okay. We were seated at a table VERY CLOSE TO THE DOOR ... ugh! I could hear the people wanting to be seated talking loudly ... Not happy with that. Plus, the ppl at the table next to us finished eating and someone came and proceeded to CLEAN with a solution that you could smell (not pleasant) ... can I ask WHY? I didn't say anything to my friend, but it certainly wasn't a good thing. He liked his meal, I just had a taste of calamari and mushrooms (the sauce was kind of overwhelming)!!! We are coming back to Dallas in about 3 weeks and have made a reservation (for 4 this time) ... I'm hoping our experience will be MUCH BETTER!

We came in for dinner on a Saturday night - the place was relatively happening. Nice ambiance and bar area. We tried the Cevapi which I highly recommend ! Very juicy, flavorful, and moist. The entrees were ok - I got the lobster ravioli and my fiance got the lasagna. Sadly, my ravioli was not served hot - it was just barely warm. Portions are relatively small - ravioli comes with 4 pieces. But I was full The service was amazing - our waitress was very sweet and attentive. You can tell the owner is highly involved as well - which I can always appreciate. All in all, a good experience.

Delicious food. Mostly good service. Based on other reviews, we made a reservation at 6pm for a Saturday evening. As we arrived, we were the second table sat. I'm guessing needing a reservation is hit or miss. We'll continue to make them when we return because by the time we left at 7:30, almost all the tables had been sat. The service was kind and mostly attentive. I think once I had to waive the server down to get the soda my daughter ordered 10 minutes earlier. A small thing. Dessert was fantastic! No pic, sorry! But so delicious! We will return! It was a fantastic dinner!

Decided to give this place a try for something new. The staff were friendly but our dishes were "ok". The pasta did not seem fresh and was a bit tough. The charcuterie board had 4 types of meat and just 3 tiny wedges of cheese. It was nothing special and had the smallest slivers of apple that left you wondering about their purpose. Once we received our food, it was like our waiter avoided our table. We saw him frequently walking around, straightening tables, and just when he would look in our direction, he would turn back around and disappear. We had to wave him down for the dessert menu and then again for the check. I wouldn't return based on our experience.

Dua is one of our favorite neighborhood spots. They have a friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and Sabina is usually our go-to server. The food and drinks are consistently solid, and our favorite dishes include the Addiolio, the Mario, and the pepperoni pizza. Highly recommended for anyone looking for some Italian or Mediterranean style food in Frisco!

The Food, Service, and Ambiance here are truly exceptional. Nik, Chris, Sabina, Audi, and the crew make you feel like Family. The welcoming vibe and energy of this place speaks volumes and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Vllasaliu Family. We had patronized Eddie Napoli's for several years and I was excited to hear that Nik was branching out when this place opened a few months ago. This is our fourth visit and it continues to be our go-to for Mediterranean Italian Cuisine. Started things off with Mediterranean Margaritas this time. It is clear that only the freshest ingredients are utilized in its preparation. Chris was able to strike just the right balance of flavor and sweet without being too tart. We were also able to enjoy some Garlic Bread with Olive Oil/Balsamic for dipping prior to our entrées. Mom ordered the Beef Stroganoff, I ordered the Prishtina with Lobster (per Chris' suggestion), and we split a Berry Olive Oil Cake for Dessert. Such good food. Will always be on our list of regular restaurant rotations.

Just love this place. Come here too often but food is so good, service is amazing and just love relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent food and service. Chris was a great server, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had two appetizers (meatballs and one of the appetizer specials) and both were flavorful. I got the salmon and shrimp special that comes with basil risotto...it was delicious! My husband had the meat lasagna and he added sausage... he said it was amazing. The crostini that came with the meatballs was a hit and we saw other tables order them with just some olive oil and balsamic to dip in, we will try that out next time. Lots of great dishes on the menu, can't wait to go back and try other things as well!

There are so many good things to say about this place. You walk in the door and you are greeted by a friendly hostess. We went on a night there was live music and to top it off bottled wine was half price. Everyone we met was so friendly. This is the kind of place you want to make it your go to place. The kind of place you want to take your friends. The food was excellent. We started off with fried calamari and a beet salad. We followed that with Eggplant Parmesan, lobster over pasta, a mixed seafood dish, and a Branzino. We finish the evening with tiramisu and coffee. We highly recommend this place. It was amazing! Go now.

Good food ambiance and portions. Extremely nice staff! Ordered the goat cheese dip appetizer which was delish and the Bombolotti which was unique and really good!

My husband and I went for date night and we left disappointed. We ordered 2 Aperol spritz and the mini beef wellingtons and 2 pastas. The alla vodka pasta definitely needed a lot more salt. I got the green one which I can't recall but I think it was the Prishtina and the spinach filling was super salty. The server was great and the ambiance was nice as they did have someone playing live music but the food and drinks just weren't up to par. I wouldn't recommend.

Our favorite restaurant in Frisco/Plano. Nick and his family are great and have created such a unique and awesome atmosphere with great food. The location is perfect. Easy to park...and the menu being an Italian/Mediterranean blend is unlike any other restaurant in the area. It's clean, beautiful and the service has been top notch every single time we've been. We've eaten here more than any other restaurant in town. Highly recommend any meal, any day and any occasion.

Discovered this place from yelp! My son was wanting speghetti so we looked up a new Italian spot! We were seated and noticed the art work on the walls. Very nice touch as some were interesting to talk about. Food was amazing. We ordered the Fritto Misto, very tasty and unique batter. I enjoyed the crispy shrimp that's added on along with the two sauce! I definitely enjoy both sauce. One was tomatoe based and not sure what the white sauce was. However both complimented the shrimp, calamari, and onion strings. We ordered the short rib ravioli, Dua, and speghetti with meat sauce and meatballs for my son. All three were amazing dishes! I definitely would recommend them. Ingredients were fresh, and food was amazing. I enjoyed every bite! You can tell each dish was well thought out and put together perfectly. Customer service was perfect ! Nick and Rdeeda, took the time to speak to is even when they were busy. Nick was very warming as he wanted to ensure we had a great meal! You can tell he enjoyed what he does and put alot of care and love into his establishment! I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for an enjoyable meal! I'm coming back for their brunch! Ask for Rdeeda when visiting. I'm sure I spelled her name wrong ! Apologies! She's an amazing server! Everyone there were friendly and attentive. Must Try!

What a great evening we had! Our waitress Sabina was amazing. The food was delicious and the drinks were perfect.

This little gem of a place was very impressive. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting, also very classy. As nice as the inside is, it did not feel out of place to wear jeans. The service was wonderful. Sabena was very attentive and had such a lovely personality! Our food was out pretty quick, but we did go at a time of a day where there were. It a lot of people. The food was delicious! I loved their bread and olive oil/vinegar mix, the the bread is different from typical Italian places. It was seasoned and cooked in olive oil already, but very good. We had the calamari which came with two sauces and was also good. My guy had the lasagna and I had the Duas. I loved my dish. The flavors were wonderful but if I could change one thing, I'd want there to be more pasta. For 28 dollars I'd like a good helping of pasta with my seafood. Also it did seem a little overpriced considering the amount of seafood that was on my plate. My guy liked the lasagna as well, but he commented that it seemed a bit on the cool side like it wasn't cooked all the way. The flavors were still great all that too say! Lastly, they do make an amazing cosmo.

Hubby brought me here for my birthday. The dinning experience and food was excellent. The owner came by and checked on us and our server constantly made sure we were enjoying our meal. Can't wait to come back our new favorite neighborhood place.

We visited the new Italian restaurant in Frisco where the Black Walnut used to be located. They redesigned the decor very nicely and feels very upscale. The waiters have very snappy outfits with cool aprons. We started by ordering the appetizer and the entrees at the same time. I would not suggest this as they brought out the appetizer with the food. The entrees were mostly cold by the time we finished the salad. I would highly suggest not ordering all the food at the same time. We went with the beet salad because you have to love a beet salad and it was good. The Paesano was very good and all the ingredients were fresh and made for a very good fresh and healthy pasta dish. The lasagna we very good and well with a good meaty taste and not just the cheese and pasta. However, all the portions felt small and when compared to the price didn't help the perception. Both pasta dishes could have used a side of bread to make them not feel so small and a bit more filling. So, you do need to order an appetizer so you don't leave hungry. The do not have any desserts. Given for food portions everyone will have room to want a dessert so this is something they need to work on. They really just need one signature and really knock it out of the park dessert like a fantastic Tiramisu that is a decent size and would have made the meal. They are good and deserve a visit if you want to try a good Italian restaurant but can use work to bring them up to a 4 or 5 star. They had only been open about 11 days we went went so might work some of this out.

The food was ok but not great unfortunately. The prices were very high for portion size and the level of cuisine. We tried the bruschetta and calamari. The calamari was the best part of the meal. We had the eggplant Parmesan and lasagna and have definitely had better at quick causal restaurants. Dessert was much better... the baklava cheesecake was the best of what we sampled.

We missed out dining here on NYE due to the line even with a reservation but we were intrigued by the menu and wanted to still try it out. We went back last night and the food was AMAZING! Tons of flavor! Reasonable prices and good quality/quantity for the price. Our waitress was awesome and attentive without being smothering! Atmosphere was nice, very comfortable and clean! We started with the goat cheese dip, FANTASTIC! The bread and dipping oil were even excellent! For entrees we had the Branzino and the Pollo Parmigiana and we thoroughly enjoyed both! The fish was fresh, cooked perfectly and the roasted potatoes were full of flavor! The chicken was one of the top 3 chicken parmesans that we have had easily. Their sauce is delicious! Overall great experience and we ate all the leftovers which rarely happens!

Wonderful Italian food that lets you enjoy all the different textures and sauces and flavors. Shockingly good.

Everything is fantastic. Food , service, ambiance. Family owned and you can feel the love

Went there for lunch with a girlfriend. It was not very busy. Service is great, staff is very friendly. Food did take a little too long considering we simply ordered 2 appetizers and again, the place wasn't busy at all. The food was good, I wish they had better lunch options, maybe something lighter than pasta but more filling than a salad and more creative than a flatbread.The have a very nice aesthetic and the restaurant looks very clean.

We did a banquet for about 30 people here last week and everything was perfect! Food was amazing, they were super accommodating and took great care of us! Keep them in mind for your holiday events!!

Arsim was the most incredible server. We have been here all day. We first got her at 1 and have been here till 8. He has refilled our drinks all day. Our food was incredible. We had brisket ravioli, buffalo & lemon pepper wings, and cevapi. Lindy had our drinks out instantly. We love this restaurant. Don't be surprised if we're sitting here very weekend!

I had such high hopes for this restaurant and was really looking forward to trying. Beyond disappointed for the following reasons: -The grammar on the menu should have been our 1st sign...so many misspellings along with basic grammatical errors -Alla vodka very oily -Goat cheese appetizer was very basic and only for 2 -Alfredo sauce also oily and lacked flavor -Informed they make pasta in house, did not taste as such -Service was ok, nothing exciting, server was not knowledgeable about sauces or wines, was honest when he did not know answers -Do not take reservations -No table bread or Parmesan cheese It was over $150 with drinks, appetizer, entrees, and dessert for 2. Gallo Nero or Quartino are significantly better for the same or less price. Will not be back, doubt will be here in a year if this evening is any indication.

I was glad a new place moved in here after Black Walnut left. We came here a few days after it opened, and they were still working through the soft launch phase. I thought they did a great job brightening things up, and I love the fact that it is now table service ( Black Walnut was not). They even added a little stage for in the front corner for live entertainment, great addition. The menu had an assortment of starters, salads, and entrées and there was a full bar with wines, craft beers on tap. And cocktails. We had the charcuterie, and it was very good. The meats were top notch, and the bread was very good, although they did not include enough of it based on the price. I was a little disappointed that there was not a pizza selection but rather flatbreads. I think they would do well in this area with a better Neopolitan style pizza option, especially against tough Italian cuisine competition like Gallo Nero down the street and Cane Rosso in the Star. Regardless, my wife and son got the flatbread, and they liked it. I was torn between the egg plant parmegiana and the meat lasagna. I went with the latter. It was a large portion and tasted fine, but it was not as flavorful as I was hoping. The service was excellent. Our waitress was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. I really thought they did a good job on the decor, and hopefully, it will continue to improve.

EARLY REVIEW... this from the first day in business. It is definitely worth trying! We will come back soon. We tried the following tapas: Salmon tartar, Bruschetta and Genovese flatbread. Then we had the Beet Salad. Our main dishes included Alla Vodka, Addiolio and Capelletti. Every dish was quite good. We really loved the Addiolio if you like fennel, otherwise try the Capelletti. Service was amazing. It is a family owned business and the staff is simply amazing. We have the risk of becoming regulars.

Was so delighted to hear an Italian restaurant moved into this location. Understanding they haven't been open long I am giving grace on my review. The inside is very nice with a center bar and even a area for live entertainment which is contained to the front area, I was in the back room area and never heard the music from the front. We were quickly tended to and ordered drinks. Ordered an appetizer, then our entrees. I had heard the lasagna was delightful so was excited to try it. After the appetizer was brought I inquired if my drink was coming, the server said he'd check on it. The short story is my drink never did arrive. I asked three times to the point our entrees were delivered, I eventually walked over to the bar and got the drink myself. The manager and our server were tending regularly, I mean very regularly, to the table behind us I'm not sure why our server couldn't have asked his manager for assistance at any point. Ultimately, the manager came by and said his server was young and didn't know how to handle the situation. He said he'd remove the drink from the bill. The lasagna was very good. The portions are on the smaller side. The beet salad was also very good. It would be lovely if they were to add a bread side especially with a sauce forward dish, or even a small roll and butter for the table. There are no desserts yet, may be because they are still new.

Oh my goodness. I love this place. I have done lunch here on two occasions and dined here in the evening and the food is delicious. Great ambience, the service is great and some evenings there is live music, which is a treat. Today I had the Paseano, which is so good and ended the meal with a smooth coffee liqueur. If you live in Frisco or are visiting please make sure to eat at Dua.

The food here is sooooo good. This is the second time we've been there and we tried a little more of the menu. The food is so amazing and the bak lava is one of the best we've ever had. I'm assuming one of the owners/manager stopped by our table several times and we got to chat with him and he was so nice and so friendly. He checked on us several times and that was nice to get those table touches. If I had to say anything bad about this spot is that the actual servers themselves are not as good or as friendly. We got sat by a server and was served water but she never came back. My husband had to flag down another server who took our order. Once the order was placed the manager/owner/bartender were the ones who ran our food and who consistently checked on us. Again, they were so nice and the food was amazing, I'm hoping they can find better help bc I would hate to see them not grow. We'll definitely be back.

Once again I find myself searching for good, authentic Italian. The ambiance was great. It had a 1940's-1960's rat-pack vibe. The live music on Saturday night was enjoyable. The appetizers were good, the meatballs and sauce (gravy) were better than expected. Moving on to the main course, it was good. Dinner entree was lunch sized proportions, but that was ok with me because I don't particularly care to bring home leftovers. The pasta was a bit bland for our taste. We had the Alla vodka and the Paesano. We requested extra Parmesan and red pepper flakes and this made the difference. All in all, I'd come back. We've only found one other enjoyable Italian restaurant, so this is definitely a contender.

Great food ambiance and service! They also have live music in the evenings and private rooms :)

Early Valentine's Dinner at Dua: Great service even though they were busy. A real happening Bar scene - the bar tenders were quite entertaining and took good care of everyone. The food was delicious - Rucola Salad with Goat Cheese, Cornish Hen, or live a little and get the Spinach Ravioli. It was the start of the perfect evening. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and ambience! Cozy place with yummy food and good music as well! Loved our evening out here and will be back again!

I was so surprised how great the food is! I have taken several of my friends there because it's so unique & the service is fabulous! Get the bartender to order your appetizer that's "off the menu" - never disappoints!

Great food and great service! I especially love the chicken parm. Their pizzas are also excellent. Great atmosphere inside - nice but not too upscale. Great neighborhood spot. Love it!!!

Found this place after doing a quick yelp search. The food was delicious, me and my partner got the Mario's pasta and the lobster ravioli. Fast service for a Saturday night. The ambiance was great and great prices for an awesome place.

Food service and ambiance are to a different level .. You most try bc you will love it. Recommend the cevapi ,Ala vodka

Looking forward to an upscale Italian locale, this is not it's Food was not special, barely average but'

Love Dua! If I'm ever in this part of Frisco this is a go to spot. Family owned and it shows meaning they crush the service and food.

Let me start off by saying there is not enough words I can use to describe the pure JOY I experienced eating at this restaurant!!! I stopped in for lunch with friends. There is inside and outside seating for your dining pleasure. The decor is upscale and modern. Very comfortable seating options! And the food..... LAWD HAVE MERCY!!! The food is ABSOLUTELY DEVINE!!! We tried several dishes so we could get a GREAT experience and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! They services was unbelievable from the waitress to the owner!!! Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL!!! I can not say enough about this phenomenal restaurant, other than you should get here QUICK, bc I'm certain once people find out about this gem, it will be hard to get it!!! ENJOY and you're welcome!

Great food and service! The owner came over and welcomed us as it was our first time. The apps were fantastic and there was live music. Thanks Nick and Audi for service.
