Due' Cucina Italian Restaurant - Totem Lake

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious handmade pasta in the heart of Totem Lake. 🍝 The food is fresh, flavorful, and portions are just right for the price. 💰 Price: Very reasonable — most pasta dishes are $13–$17, a solid value for handmade quality. 👥 Crowd: Can get busy during dinner and weekends, but lines move quickly. 🌳 Atmosphere: Modern and relaxed, with more seating than the Capitol Hill location. Great for a casual dinner or quick bite. 🚗 Transportation: Easy to get to with plenty of parking in the Totem Lake area. 🤝 Service: Fast, friendly, and efficient — staff are helpful if you’re trying pasta for the first time. Overall: Due’ Cucina Totem Lake is a great spot for fresh, authentic pasta at a fair price. The food and service stand out, but it loses a star for occasional crowds. Still one of the best casual Italian choices on the Eastside.

The pasta was absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The vibe of the place is amazing, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. One of the staff even complimented my hair, which made the experience even more friendly and personal. Great food, wonderful people, and a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to!"

We had a wonderful experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and comforting. We ordered the Polpette Pasta, Lasagna alla Bolognese, and Tiramisu — everything was delicious. The Tiramisu was absolutely exceptional - One of the best we’ve ever had! Staffs are really friendly and atmosphere is really cosy. Will definitely recommend

We loved our experience at Due Cucina today! We were greeted right away and told how the menu worked. The food was delicious an d came out quickly. We loved both of our pasta dishes. To top it off, the staff heard we were celebrating our anniversary and they surprised us with some delicious tiramisu. We'll be back again :)

Wonderful place. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The fresh pasta is extraordinary. We had 2 of the vegetarian pastas (the mushroom and truffle, and the red sauce) and both are extremely good. We will definitely go back many times.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and everything was explained clearly. Although it’s a self-service restaurant, it was very convenient and didn’t feel lacking at all. Our kids absolutely loved it, and the truffle pasta and kale pasta were especially delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Food was delicious and hit the spot. Not the biggest fan of el dente but this worked great and tasted so good. The small details to the food were amazing. The appetizers we had were great and sitting outside the restaurant on a sunny day eating Italian food was definitely the vibe

An affordable choice for lunch/dinner! I love their smoked salmon with spaghetti but the noodle was a bit too firm for me personally. Recommend to emphasize the firmness of the noodle you prefer!

had an excellent time dining here for dinner! staff was very friendly and welcomed us in. if you're taking out. you can head straight up to the register, otherwise depending on when you come by, there may be a bit of a wait as tables open up. pasta was excellent, definitely quite al dente with good flavor. if you prefer your pasta more soft, they also are able to do this upon request. i got the short rib ragu and throughly enjoyed the flavor, i also quite liked that you could customize the pasta they use. my only complaint is that i think the portion could have had more food for the price, but there was a good ratio of pasta to meat, which i appreciate. ambiance is quite nice as well, good decor and vibe around the place, great spot for a date! overall: 8.5/10 taste: 9/10 price: 8/10

DID YOU KNOW THEY HAVE CHICKEN MEATBALLS NOW?! Listen I'm gonna jump right into the food, because you guys need to give this place more love. So, I've had the Mushroom & White Truffle Oil with the Chicken Meatballs added 5/5 this hit the spot so much that I had to take a second and yell at myself for not checking back in sooner, we also had the Short Ribs Ragu' 5/5 perfect sauce, perfect amount of protein, perfect cook on the pasta. Smoked Salmon 5/5 is also another favorite of ours, its exactly what you want it to be, a little salty, a little creamy, and hella tasty. Big thanks to these guys, for including more proteins that some of us non pork eaters can enjoy!

Share tables if it gets too crowded since limited seating especially at lunch. Self serve and bus yourself. They make their own pasta so that's fun to watch. Ordered the short rib pasta and that was good. Also got the carbonara but it was extremely salty. The sauce was salty and the bacon was hard blocks of salt. Pasta is cooked very firm normally. Maybe you can add a note on the kiosk to cook more if you want the regular pasta softness. Modern decorations.

Affordable pasta shop. I liked the ambiance too even though it's a self serve restaurant. Always loved the salads here. The dressing is very balanced. The pasta sauces were really heavy and cheesy so not my favorite

Came right back to try the Bolognese with non-protein pasta, and it's by far better than the protein version. Sad to not get the extra gains, but the much better taste and texture compensates (although the Al dente pasta is still pretty chewy and stiff which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Also ordered the carbonara and burrata. The latter was delicious but the former, while good, doesn't taste like a traditional carbonara. I'm adding that last star, with the caveat that I'd recommend staying away from the protein pasta.

This is an excellent Italian Restaurant. The pasta is fresh and delicious, and the cannolis (I tried both the chocolate and pistachio) are outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a great fast casual Italian restaurant that I go when I am craving pasta. You order at the counter and then there is a screen that lets you know when the order is ready to pick up. I believe everything is made from scratch and the ingredients taste fresh and delicious. They offer a variety of different pastas and sauces and add-ons so you can customize to your liking.

They really know how to do their pasta right. Fresh and delicious ! Fast and quality service. Their side salad is also really good. Great spot for a quick hit on your lunch break or to hang with a glass of wine.

I really like Due Cucina. I have never eaten inside. Always ordered to go, but I really enjoy the food. All pastas with different noodle and sauce options. And I love the house salad with different olives and balsamic dressing. If I am craving Italian this is usually my choice. I also find the portions to be good and priced well.

My go to Due Cucina location! Service at any due is super fast and I prefer the ordering system they have where you can just order on a device. I love that you can customize the pasta shape, choose your sauce, and add additional fixings. Never had the wine here but always see people ordering. We always get salt and straw next door to end!

Another Review by BAM I didn't tell them Lake looking for a combination of magic and pasta. I think this might be the place guys come check it out. Parking is easy it's across the street from. Don't shout at me and or don't yell at me and Lululemon. The pasta is fresh pressed in the pasta lab. They've all kinds of wines and I just love the dessert. Reminds me of back in the city by the Bay. Legit. The new owner is the tattoo guy super super welcoming. I told him it feels like home.

We've ordered delivery from Due' Cucuna a few times now and every single time has been delicious! I always opt for the Cacio & Pepe with an add on of chicken meatballs - which is consistently delicious. Each time, I've been surprised at how fast it gets delivered and the fact it's still warm. My kids also love to smash in the spaghetti with butter and cheese. This is a no-brainer crowd-pleaser for those nights when we just can't cook or make it out to eat. Highly recommend!

I would say you get what you came for. Its still a "fast foodish" kinda place. I had high hopes but i was thinking it could be like or better than grassa. Grassa is by far better. The salad was cheap and thats what ya got. We ordered the bolognese and short rib pastas and they were literally the same base, one having ground meat and the short shredded pork. It would good to try but I wouldnt come back Not being from the area.

My last experience was not so great at the Broadway location, with one of the pastas I had being oversalted and another being undercooked (hard in the middle). This time I was introducing it to a friend as a popularly known spot, because we were in the area, and they wanted a bite to eat. I figured it was time to give it another try. This experience topped the last one by a long shot, and not in a good way. I wish I could give stars for friendly employees and a clean location, which it had, but the food was so bad I can't. We ordered carbonara, made with the protein pasta, to share. We aren't GF but both consume high protein diets, and eat protein pastas often. This one was unfortunately... inedible. We each had a bite and did not want anymore. I forced down a few more bites to really try to taste everything but it was hands down the worst pasta I have ever eaten in my entire life - I'm not sure who thought it was acceptable enough to put on a menu. To start, it did not taste like a carbonara. Maybe the pasta flavor was overpowering the sauce, but it tasted straightup like bland, warm egg yolk, and separately some cheese. It did not have a cohesive flavor (and yes, I know the sauce is supposed to be made with egg yolks and cheese). Secondly, I know the protein pasta/casarecce was not a traditional nor necessarily a good choice for this sauce, but it shouldn't ruin the dish. It was both soft and gummy, not chewy nor al dente at all (it said it was supposed to be 2/3 al dente? but it was a 0/3). Soggy like the texture of wet play-doh, and sticks to your teeth when you chew into the middle, somehow like overcooked and undercooked at the same time. In fact, it tasted like a wheat flavored play-doh, boiled in water. I've had many types and brands of protein pasta and I've actually never had one I did not like - until now. They can have varying textures but this one should not be called a pasta. It should be taken off the menu, truly. We ended up giving up and tossing the rest - a waste of a ~$15.11 dish (post-tax, pre-tip) but you couldn't have paid us to finish it (and I'm the type that never likes to waste food or toss out things, but neither of us could swallow anymore). We both hugely regretted going in since I mentioned my last experience but my friend wanted to try it anyways - I told her maybe better next time with a different pasta... but I think we're both too scarred from that to waste any money or energy on trying it again.

Delivery review In short Super tasty classic Italian. Generous portions and great prices. In long I'm not sure how big the chain is here, but there's one location close enough to us that we can get it delivered. Italian food like this is a real craving sometimes for sure, and it's great to see that these folks are doing it right. Suppli Al Telefono This is kind of an arrancini except served in more of a tenderloin shape. Great seasoning, just the right amount of crunch on the outside. Showed up in good shape even after the long trek up 405 from Totem Lake during the dinner hour. Ravioli Burro & Salvia Sourdough Focaccia Great flavors on the ravioli, pasta itself was a little pasty after so much time in the car but still tasted amazing. Looking forward to heating up what's left. Focaccia was great--tender and chewy, light seasoning giving it some character. Side Salad Super affordable. Not the hugest portion but you could certainly justify ordering more than one. Crunchy veg, big flavors from the dressing. Polpette Al Sugo Delicious meatballs in a very tomato-y sauce for a very reasonable price. Traditional Bolognese Ragu Long toothsome noodles and a nice tomato-y sauce. Looking forward to the rest of this, too.

Awesome food. Good prices for go to dinner place. Pasta little bit more Al dente as per my liking but taste amazing. I had mushroom and white truffle sauce pasta. Drinks are amazing as well.

I've been wanting to try this place for so long, but every time I'm in this area, I'm there to eat somewhere else, which is again the same reason I was in the area. I was there to pick up lunch somewhere, and decided since I was in the area, I should walk over here and grab something to try. And I'm so glad I did. I got the Mushroom & White Truffle Oil pasta and added the pork sausage. I didn't see any other meat options to add from their menu board, but I guess they have more options on their updated online menu, like pork cheek. Service was friendly and quick. I was supposed to save the pasta for dinner, since I had actually picked up a sandwich for lunch, but I couldn't wait. I ate the pasta for lunch instead. I added my own white truffle chili oil. It was delicious. The texture of the pasta was great, and the flavor was great. Yum!

Personally the pasta was just ok! It wasn't bad or good. Just not my type of pasta. The restaurant is super clean and the staff is super nice!

Better than I was expecting and good value. It's pasta for the most part but it pretty good pasta. There are other Italian restaurants in Kirkland area that aren't as good as Due' Cucina and starting at twice the price. Service is fast but the ordering pad takes some time for first timers. Seating is also limited when busy. Not a problem on a nice day but on a rainy day it could be an issue.

This is the place I go to when I want fresh, unpretentious, down to earth pasta. You're not paying for a fancy overpriced Italian restaurant dining experience with a server to bring you bread and olive oil (or any food for that matter - you pick it up on the counter). What you pay for is good food and good food only. I will admit the first time I came here, I was pretty disappointed because it was very salty to the point where it was almost inedible. However, the pasta noodles were so firm and chewy to perfection I knew I had to give them a second chance. So on subsequent visits I asked for low salt and it's been perfect ever since. My favorite part about Due Cucina is they sell fresh pasta noodles too. By weight it's about 5x more expensive than mass produced pasta like De Cecco, but after trying it I refuse to make pasta with any other brands. The surface is very coarse and rough indicating they used bronze dies to extrude the dough (which is more expensive to operate than teflon), which is ideal as it makes sauce cling onto the pasta better.

this place was great. My little one wanted pasta and meatballs so we came across Due Cucina and figured lets give it a try and it did not disappoint. You walk in and think "Jimmy Johns" style of ordering for pasta. pick your pasta, pick your sauce or choose one of the many pre-selected items. Onto our food: 1) Bolognese ragu - My 8-year-old really liked this one. The spaghetti had a really nice chew to it and the sauce was really flavorful. I thought it was really good as well. 2) Short rib ragu - This was a big hit for me. The sauce coated the perfectly cooked bucatini (think of noodles similar to a straw) with a luscious sauce filled with short ribs. 3) Chicken meatballs - This is a side add on. We got about (6ea) bit size meatballs. Had a lemon and mint seasoning and we thought it was good. 4) Side salad - This was decent. Pretty basic. lettuce, olives, ricotta and a balsamic vinegarette. Overall, the food was great, didn't take too long and the staff was friendly and helpful. Note, you do have to bus yourself and pick up your own food and silverware, but that was fine for us. I would not hesitate to come here again!

Awesome pasta place. Not many seats available and it was busy when my daughter and I came here. I love to see them making pasta from scratch. They also have a little diagram with names of pasta shapes. You order food at the counter and then find a seat. Food get called out for you to grab it. So there is minimal service. Enjoyed our food here. It definitely tasted fresh.

Alright lemme go back and say this place had a better glow up than i did after accutane. Their mushroom and white truffle, carbonara, and ragu are def the go to. Get you some of the cresta de gallo pasta and on god that noodle made my mouth water for more. Portions look small but hit heavy like Sabrina carpenter! Bulk approved

We ordered delivery via DoorDash and tried the vegetarian pasta. The flavors were nice, but it was a bit dry for my taste as I prefer a saucier pasta and a bit of more seasoning. On the bright side, the tiramisu was quite good!

The pasta here is good value for how much it costs, but I find that the saltiness is inconsistent from pasta to pasta. I would actually give this place more like a 3.5. If you're not used to al dente pasta, you'll find the pasta a bit hard, but I enjoyed it. I think the truffle pasta is the best one. The place was pretty busy when I went, so finding a table can be hard. You just order and pick up your pasta at the counter, so you do most of the service.

It was our visit time trying this restaurant today. The place was clean and pleasant. You order using the iPad and they call your name once your order is ready. The place was self service. You can grab your water and utensils from the side of the kitchen and pick your own table. The pasta dishes were delicious! We truly enjoyed the ragu as it was had tender flavorful meat. The truffle oil pasta with mushroom was pleasant as well and unique! We didn't enjoy the carbonara as much. It tasted like pasta with butter and cheese. It lacked taste. Overall, it was a delicious experience and we can't wait to try their other dishes. At the end, we needed to bust our own tables as well which was no big deal.

We tried the Buratta, Bruschetta, Kale Pesto Protein Caserecce, Pomodoro Caserecce, Pomodoro Bucatini and an Aglio e Olio Campanelle. All the pastas were great, albeit a little on the Al dente side for us. Our favorite was the bruschetta! Loved the ambiance of an open kitchen!

Decided to check out This place after it was recommended. Upon walking in, it was very clean and I was greeted. You can either order on a one of two screens for a self service or you can order with the cashier. I order at the self service kiosk screen and as soon as I was done, you could see the kitchen preparing my meal. The pasta was cooked and the dishes prepared pretty quickly. I did take my food to go so we could eat at home and it was still pretty warm after a 40 minutes drive in traffic. Overall, the food was decent. My son said it best, it was just "meh" for us. I guess we are one of the ones who didn't get the hype around this place. It's definitely affordable for what you get and a great value. Did fast food Italian, it wasn't bad by any means but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

This review is based on a DoorDash delivery order. I cannot speak for the establishment and the in person dining experience. We were drawn to this place for having decent prices and having gluten free pasta, without an up charge. Be sure to read everything carefully. I assumed that the "wheat" that was listed in the dish I got was due to having regular pasta, so I substituted the gluten free noodles. Later find out that the dish itself contains wheat (Mushroom & White Truffle oil sauce). So even though I got the GF noodles, I still ended up having gluten. I'll pay for it tomorrow. The gluten free noodles were thick and had a gritty texture to them. They were alright. I am thankful for non expensive gluten free options. I just need to be more careful next time.

Due' Cucina is our newly discovered establishment when we crave for a fresh handmade pasta. I, however, skipped a pasta dish this time, tried the marinated eggplant salad instead (it was a hot day and I needed something light), and it was amazing. I am a big fan of eggplants (any ways they are prepared), and this dish was no exception. Eggplant was grilled and marinated perfectly - juicy yet dense, with a full of flavor. My son had a short rib ragu, and of course it can't go wrong. He enjoyed the dish very much (to the point he forgot to spare me a bite, lol). We have tried their carbonara and few other dishes in the past, and they all are delicious - pasta is always as fresh as it gets (few shapes to choose from, depending on the choice of sauce), and sauce is not overpowering (very fresh). Try them, and you won't regret.

The bread was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and drizzled with olive oil. I ordered the Pomodoro sauce with paccheri pasta, and it was cooked al dente with good flavors. That said, the menu was unusually hard to read, it was hung really high on the wall, but luckily they provide photos on an iPad for reference. It's a self-service setup--you order your food, seat yourself, and pickup your food (yet they still prompt you to tip lol). Around 5 PM on a Tuesday, there were only a couple of tables available.The workers seemed friendly overall.

Absolutely loved this place! The pasta was delicious, fresh and didn't make you feel heavy once you were done with your plate. Portions were perfect and service was great because you bus your own table. We ordered, got our drinks, utensils and napkins as we waited for our food to be called. It took maybe 7 minutes and we had our food! My 4 year loved it and so did we! Come casual with family and enjoy some really delicious pasta! Oh and you actually get to choose from a variety of pasta shape and texture! Will be returning soon!

It very good! Very high quality for the price. The freshly made pasta is an excellent touch and you and you definitely taste it! In my opinion, the pasta dishes could benefit from a little more protein with the pasta unless maybe my order was just a little off. This is also subjective but I believe that offering some variant of chicken parmigiana would really benefit the menu verity! However, this is very much welcome addition to the restaurants on the Eastside.

Place your order at the front counter using their touchscreen, pick up your food at the side counter, grab your own drink, and bus your table when you're done. It's pretty much a DIY-style resto. The food was good! We had the Mushroom & White Truffle Oil Pasta, Traditional Bolognese Ragù, Rustic Porchetta Sandwich, and the Kid's Red Sauce Pasta with Juice. Knocking off one star for the flying insects.

Due is a fantastic option for fresh pasta at a reasonable price. I went for dinner at around 7PM on a Friday and all the tables were full. The turnover is pretty fast though as you order at the counter / on a tablet before seating yourself and they have some counter seating where you can watch the kitchen work if you don't mind sitting side by side. I think they have a different set of fresh pastas available each day and they've got a mini-tray of what's available so you know what you're getting into. The kitchen will call your name when your order is ready and cutlery will be available at the window. Overall, the pasta itself is AMAZING. Everything is cooked super al dente, so everything has a nice bite to it. Highly recommend the bucatini when it's on the menu - it's if spaghetti was just 4x better. The reason this place doesn't have five stars is because the sauces fall a little short for me. The smoked salmon with capers was a bit too salty for me and I wish the short rib ragu had more tomato flavor, though the meat itself was pretty tender. Will be back to try some of their other options and that might push it to five stars!

We are obsess with this place. What a great deal for what you get, it's fast, great quality and it's a great portion! We have made our way through a good amount of the pasta menu, and have been satisfied with every single dish. The truffle pasta with bucatini noodles is a dish that gave me an audible reaction, and I didn't want it to end. I rarely fill up on a ~$13 pasta but if I could make myself stop eating this when I was full, I may have leftovers. But this girl can eat so there's no stopping me, at least with the truffle one. I don't feel heavy after, this is fresh as fresh pasta gets. We were watching them make the noodles by the viewing window at the bar while we waited for our dish, they have quite the system down. Let's just say, this place doesn't make me miss Italy too much.

This was my first time at Due' Cucina Italiania. My family and I came at around 11:30am on a Saturday. There was plenty of seating and honestly didn't get busy until around noon. Due' is like a pasta bar that they serve for you. You choose one of their sauces on the menu and then one of their homemade pastas and an extra if you'd like. Each of the pastas has a different Al dente level (chewiness), and so you can pick the pasta based on your preference. They also have a gluten free option. My family of three ordered the: BOLOGNESE with spaghetti, the KALE PASTA with campanelle, and CACIO E PEPE with casarecce. We chose the pairings based on the cashier's recommendations. We also ordered a couple of SIDE SALADS and a TORTA DELLA NONNA for dessert (basically a custard tart inside of a biscuit crust). Total came to a little under $70 including tax and tip. The BOLOGNESE with spaghetti was my favorite. The tomato sauce was definitely not from a jar and it coated the pasta wonderfully. It had a good portion of ground meat and lots of parmesan cheese to round out the flavor. The spaghetti (which has the highest Al dente level of the pastas) was cooked to my perfect chewiness level. I would get this again. The KALE PASTA was my least favorite of the pasta dishes. It tasted dry and lacked the pine nut flavor (note that they use walnuts instead). The campanelle which is the healthy/soy flour pasta, tasted earthier than I would've preferred. I wouldn't order this again. The CACIO E PEPE with casarecce was delicious and my dad's favorite. It's basically like a more sophisticated macaroni and cheese. It was creamy, buttery, and very cheesy. The casarecce was a good pairing as it was tender and not too heavy. The SIDE SALAD was fairly nondescript and came in a small bowl, as to be expected. Basically just lettuce, olives, cheese and a light vinegarette. I wish they made large family size salads in addition to just side salad options. The TORTA DELLA NONNA was terrific. The pastry cream/custard was super rich and creamy with strong notes of vanilla and lemon zest. It wasn't overly sweet and something I would definitely offer again. Note that Due' is a casual eatery. You order your food from the counter and pick it up like at a fast food restaurant. You also have to bus your own table. I don't mind, but it's definitely not your normal fancy Italian restaurant as the food prices also reflect. Another thing to note is that seating can be kind of cramp as the tables are relatively close together. It wasn't too loud when we went, but there were a fair number of families and children eating while we were Overall: 4/5 for food, 4.5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

The business owner reached out and admitted that their was a mistake and has offered to refund my dinner. That is something I wasn't expecting and we can all obviously respect.. I haven't seen the return hit my bank account yet but once it does I will return for a second visit. I still stand by my original post that while the food is good, the portions are small. -We'll see if next visit goes better 3 stars for now; only because the owner is nice

The chef was so nice! Food was fresh and amazing. Quick, easy, sit down place. It does get loud in there.

Giving the choices to pick the type of pasta noodle and sauce you want for your dish is great! Staff were very welcoming and helpful when it came to deciding what to choose! Our dishes came out so quick and they were wonderfully delicious! Perfect little spot to grab lunch or dinner!

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.

TL;DR: carb heavy meals. Word. Parking: really hard to find street side but there is a small lot nearby and also a parking garage. Parking is available, just the walking distance can be bad. Atmosphere: cafe-like setting. Service: order and pay at the front, your order will be displayed/called on a screen when ready for pick up, water yourself and bus your own table. Menu: there are sample pieces of pasta on the counter for the visually inclined (hey, they understand that some of those pasta names are hard to pronounce). I'm a big fan of visual aids, especially when it comes to food, haha. Simple menu posted high up on the wall. Smoked Salmon: my favorite dish! I do wish there were more salmon pieces in here though. Sometimes it just feels like all I have is pasta. I really appreciate the capers in here too.

Quick and easy spot for great pasta! You order the type of pasta dish you'd like (sauce, toppings, etc.) and the type of pasta noodle which is great for customization. You grab a seat after you order and bus your own table. The place has limited seating but no one seemed to have trouble finding a table when I was there despite the dinner crowd. I got the carbonara with casarecce pasta which was tasty and authentic! The egg yolk and guanciale is not always found in casual restaurants like this so I will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes. I wish the pasta had been more al dente (which they emphasized on their menu) but maybe it was just my dish.

This is a quick and well-priced pasta customization spot with unique options. You order up front on an iPad and pick your (1) sauce, (2) pasta, and (3) toppings. We got our food in 10 minutes and everything was delicious! Must-try: caprese bruschetta!! This was insanely good with an amazing balsamic vinegar, and they really outdid themselves on the presentation.

Food is fast Italian at this counter service business in the Totem Lake commercial area. Pastas are the featured menu item. Choose your type of pasta from a rotating menu of shapes. Select one of their sauces or various preparations. There are a few other menu items including a porchetta (savory roast pork) sandwich which is excellent! It seems the pasta preparation is uneven. Several other reviews note over or under-cooked pasta. We tried the bucatini with mushrooms & truffle oil. The sauce was tasty but the pasta was undercooked, somewhat tough. Not desirable from a place that specializes in pasta. Prices are reasonable. Very casual. Wine & beer are available.

Great pasta. My toddler loves the food here and will clear their dishes in no time. Small space but not busy so you can always get a table.

Due' Cucina Italiana is the best casual Italian restaurant I've been to so far. I love that you're able to just go in, pick a sauce and pasta combination on and pay on their iPads, and within a couple of minutes, you are eating some wonderfully cooked pasta. For my first visit, I tried their mushroom and white truffle oil sauce with campanelle pasta and homemade pork sausage added on. The sauce was delicious and flavorful and the campanelle (which I had never tried before) was nice and chewy. The pieces of pork sausage were cut a little too big in my opinion, but I was glad that I added it to my pasta dish. My girlfriend also got the campanelle but with the aglio & olio sauce (her family is from Sichuan so the Sichuan pepper in the description tempted her). It tasted a little bland to me when I tried a little, but I guess it could be good if you wanted a lighter sauce. I honestly can't wait to come back, so I can try other pasta and sauce combinations.

Cute and casual restaurant at The Village in Totem Lake. The cashier was friendly and helped us understand the menu. The homemade pasta noodles were delicious and all the sauce options were also yummy.

I've ordered takeout from Due' Cucina's Totem Lake location many times, and the food is always excellent. However, today was the first time my takeout order was missing an item. I ordered Tofu and Chicken Meatballs as an add-on, but I realized I only received the Chicken Meatballs after I got home. I tried to find a customer service email online, but after spending over 10 minutes searching, I couldn't locate any contact information. So, I'm leaving a review here. I hope the staff can double-check orders before sealing them in the future.
