This Italian Mediterranean fusion restaurant was wonderful! What a hidden gem! We went around 6:30 on a Thursday night and were seated right away. It has a very upscale look! Very elegant but we didn't feel out of place dressed casually. There were people really draws up and some really casual. We started with a glass of wine. I had a Pinot Grigio and my husband had a Cab. There was a large selection of wine and the waiter was very knowledgeable. We had cevapi to start out with. It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Then I had the paisano and my husband had addiolio. It was a delicious blend of flavors. This is a great date night spot and you can dress up if you want but rest assured your tummy will be happy! read more

Upscale intimate vibe at this fine Italian establishment in Frisco. Be prepared for small portion sizes and about $50 a person. We were grateful for the birthday wish. Cupcake and plate art. Lobster ravioli lacked flavor, seems like salt was missing. The eggplant parmesan was delicious, surprisingly! I was not a fan of the meatballs. The entry hostess was very social and pleasant! We were grateful that this establishment has gluten-free (penne) pasta. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

As always the owner and staff were spot on, never a disappointment! Thank you Sabina for such excellent service. The food was spectacular! This time Lobster Ravioli and Paesano were AMAZING. The atmosphere and music made for a wonderful afternoon. read more

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. read more

Tough day, not only Mother's Day, weather caused me to wait for table. There was no win for their team as people were coming in late for their reservation because of weather and then weather cleared and the rest came on time. I felt sorry for their team but they did a good job. My wife and I let them know to delay our reservations and we had a mimosa at bar compliments of them. Really appreciated their professionalism on a tough day. PS, flat bread made my day watching NBA Game. read more

Let me start with I don't leave reviews. But I just had the most frustrating Mother's Day "brunch". First of all there weren't any brunch items offered. It was overcrowded, understaffed and it took us 2.5 hours to get out of there. Go literally anywhere else. read more

Excellent food and great service! Wife and I came here for early Valentines/Birthday/new job celebration and we weren't disappointed. Service was friendly and prompt. The bread is fantastic, with a hint of garlic, and I believe the pasta is homemade. The menu is extensive, very many choices. Would definitely come back. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My new fav Italian restaurant in Frisco. Starting with friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. The appetizers (ravioli, calamari and salad choices) are flavorful with multiple options. The eggplant parmesan, sea bass spécial were some of the best. Half price wine was an added touch. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

Dua is one of our favorite neighborhood spots. They have a friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and Sabina is usually our go-to server.

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. read more

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 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! read more

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. read more

Waiter was wonderful. Great service, food was pricy but it was cooked scrumptiously. I ordered over $200 worth of food for just two people, (my sister and I) and left with a smile on my face. My favorite thing was the vegetarian options. I ate the mushroom appetizer in record time because it was so good it melted in my mouth! Pasta tasted home made. Bread was crispy and warm. Salad (Cesar salad) was the only disappointment for me since it was pricy and somewhat wilted and a small amount. I also think they could have hand made the croutons for that price. They didn't taste as if they were. I ordered the eggplant entree and it redeemed the salad because it was the perfect amount atop a flavorful bed of warm pasta. I did NOT like the girl that was cleaning the table as she literally stood there and pulled the plate I was eating from out of my hands whilst I was still eating! For those two things (salad and strange cleaning girl) I am withholding a star. I did notice the floor manager making his rounds and he was super cute and friendly. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
