Due' Cucina Italiana - Capitol Hill

An absolute gem, I am seriously obsessed with this little spot for yummy handmade pastas. It's a fast-casual situation with both a preset menu of pastas and a build-your-own option. You order at the counter (or via tablet) and can seat yourself anywhere -- the food is prepped super fast and the portions are very generous. They call your name at the order window when it's done and you can bus your table at the end.

The food here is SO. GOOD. I appreciate that they have so many vegetarian options or substitutions. I've gotten the kale pesto, mushroom, and cacio and pepe and loved literally every single one. I'll definitely be back to work my way through this menu!

Cool casual restaurant offering house-made pasta. You can either order a pre-set entree or build your own plate by choosing your pasta, sauce, and toppings or sides. The servings are very generous.

You can either order at the counter or use one of the two tablet stations to order without having to interact with anyone (we all have those days!). When your order is ready, they call your name at the chef window and you pick up your plates. You also bus your own table after you finish at the bussing station in the back.

Bucatini carbonara was good but a bit on the oily side. Paccheri with mushroom and white truffle sauce was very flavorful. We were a bit disappointed with the small amount of sausage we had ordered as an add-on.

Ok so like, I love the concept - fast casual handmade pasta at a reasonable price right in the middle of Capitol Hill...but the execution! That fell a little flat.
- the pasta is very al dente, keep that in mind!
- I feel like the flavors were decent, but definitely could've used more sauce (and vegetables like Spinach/mushroom)
- suggestion; signify on the menu exactly what meats are in each dish~ it's easy to make mistakes w Italian names of sauces etc.

Overall cool concept and great space with super quick service. But this time around, it tasted just alright~

Casual handmade pasta restaurant in Capitol Hill. Bright and airy location with a lot of seating. Order at the counter, choose your sauce, then your pasta shape. They also have suggested pairings - for example bolognese with spaghetti or bucatini or you can also add on pork sausage or burrata to each dish. There are a lot of options!! They even have a gluten free pasta!

We ordered the bolognese with bucatini ( I love that thick pasta, really soaks up the sauce!). Hubs ordered the mushroom & white truffle oil campanelle pasta and he added on pork sausage. It was so good!!!

The pasta came out hot and fresh with a generous portion! Really enjoyed this place!

Amazing food.  Sort of a fast casual concept. When ordering at the front counter you pick out the sauce you want from the menu and then you pick out your desired pasta shape and any add ons/ other items.  

I went with the lamb meatball pasta with bucatini and optional sourdough bread (I think it was about $1 extra, this is a must). Pasta was perfectly cooked, the lamb meatballs were very tasty and the sauce was rich and very flavorful.  Sourdough bread was nicely toasted with a touch of olive oil. They're definitely using high quality bread here. Perfect for getting the last bit of sauce.  

As an appetizer I also had the burrata tricolore. Burrata was very creamy, flavorful and smooth. Served on a nice bed of arugala and with roasted tomatoes,  balsamic vinegar, and a touch of fresh ground black pepper. This was honestly just as delicious as the pasta, I highly recommend trying it.  

All this great food was just over $20 which is honestly an amazing deal considering the quality and attention to detail. Staff here was super friendly, they have lots of indoor seating, and I'm pretty sure 1 of the owners was hanging out at the restaurant with the employees which I like to see.  All in all great experience and I cant wait to come back!

Tasty! My visit was a few months ago now, but seeing the Totem Lake location open up reminded me to leave a note here. Prices here are surprisingly low for a higher end Italian place! I do think the serving sizes are proportional to the price though, so they are a bit smaller than other joints. Tons of meatless options too so a friendly option for anyone, regardless of preferences. There's a ton of customization possible too with extra items and pasta types so go all out.

Bolognese is a nice and safe pick, but man I wanted to try everything and wasn't sure, I just knew I wanted some protein. Get a side of bread too, it's an amazing pair with most dishes, but especially the Bolognese.

This place has been on my go to list for a while, so I was excited when I had a friend who wanted to go! Due is a fast casual pasta restaurant with artisan made to order pasta. The pasta dishes start at $10-14 and then add-ons cost an extra $2-5. There are lots of sauce options ranging from smoked salmon, ragu, cacio e pepe, carbonara, etc. You also get to pick from a variety of handmade noodles and pastas. Portions are average sized - you'll definitely finish your plate but won't be overly stuffed. Food comes out within 10 minutes, and you'll be done eating after 10 more minutes.

I got the smoked salmon ($13) with bucatini (thick spaghetti like with a hole running through it) added a burrata (+$3?) to it. The bucatini was a little too al dente for my preference. Smoked salmon came with a cream sauce with pine nuts and capers - delicious. I also tried some of the mushroom and white truffle oil pasta ($11) with casarecce and added pork sausage to it (+$4?). The pork sausage was just ok. I'm not a huge mushroom fan but the mushroom and white truffle sauce was definitely yummy.

Came on a Friday at 6 pm and was super fast service! You just come in and order on the two tablets they have in the front. There are workers who can help any answers. Once you order, self-service to sit down and grab utensils and water. They will call your name to come pick up your own food.

Food gets prepared super quickly and it's super cool to see them making the pasta fresh.

I would not miss out on the tiramisu! Great size for two people but tasted amazing!! Would definitely be coming back, especially for desert!

I online ordered from this place a few times throughout the pandemic and finally had the opportunity to stop by and dine in! My favorite is the Mushroom and White truffle oil pasta, but the Traditional bolognese is also delicious. We also like to treat ourselves to the homemade pork sausage.

For dessert, the tiramisu is amazing.

As other mentioned, you can order at the counter or the kiosk up front. Seating is first come first serve, we were able to easily find a spot during on a weekday around 8pm. The order name was called from the kitchen out back when it was ready - a TV maintained a scrolling list of the orders but that wasn't 100% updated.

After dining, plates are dropped off in the bins in the back - the signage helps a lot!

Great little pasta place with the most authentic pasta you can get! Pick your sauce, pasta shape, toppings and sides and wine. Communal seating. Buzz your table! Finito. We especially liked the aglio de olio, cacio de pepe and the kale pesto. We waited for about 45 mins for a table on Saturday night.
