Wine for lunch to go with our pastas
Patricia S.

My husband and I wanted to grab lunch and I have always wanted to try this pasta place. We ordered three different pastas the ragu pasta, pesto, and the mushroom truffle. Food was good the pasta is a little al dente which is what I like and it has a chewier texture to it. My favorite was the ragu pasta ans the pesto but I just wish they added more tomato's too it, but over all everything was good. The ambiance there is cute and the location is nice they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good. We were there when it wasn't there rush hour time. Over all we had a great experience there.

Fresh Pasta ohhh yaaaaaa! When in West Seattle Junction and need a tasty meal I love grabbing a plate of Cacio & Pepe here . What really makes this dish stand out is the combination of the 16-month aged Pecorino Romano & 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano used that makes all the difference in this flavor. Also adding some sausage to the mix for some extra flavor is a must for me... Due' Cucina's fresh homemade bucatini is some of the best in the northwest. With over 5 different choices of pasta you can design your own meal and also take home fresh pasta for your own sauce. Ordering is kinda self serve since you walk up to a iPad and place the desired meal. But then humans actually cook your creation and another person calls out when order is ready. Plenty of seating in dining area with booths and large tables for with a party larger than 4 people. Keep in mind you need to bus your own tables so don't be offended. After all it's quality food for a discounted price point. Honesty this review makes me hungry so I'm coming tonight for a plate of pasta...

Beef Meatballs

Tried this place out and it was descent! It is cafeteria style so when you walk in you can either ask the waiter at the cashier or order through a kiosk. We decided to get the truffle mushroom pasta and the Cacio e Pepe. The mushroom pasta was good not amazing same as the cacio e Pepe. I would say the noodles on both dishes were a little too al dente. We also ordered a side of beef meatballs which were delicious and a side salad and focaccia bread. I would have passed on the focaccia bread. Over all this is a decent place if you want good quick Italian for dinner. Would come back. I hear their Mediterranean eggplant salad is amazing as well as the paninis.

This is a self-serve pasta spot, and honestly, it's such a cool and pleasant place to grab a meal. When I first walked in, I hesitated a bit because you have to order on an iPad before sitting down--it almost gives you a "fast food" vibe. But don't be fooled: the décor and overall atmosphere are far from McDonald's. There's no table service--you pick up your food from the window and bus your own table--but sometimes that's exactly what you want. It's perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or even some much-needed alone time during a lunch break. The food itself is impressive. The pasta is clearly homemade, cooked to the perfect texture--not too chewy, not too soft. I ordered the short rib ragù, and it had a fantastic balance of richness and creaminess. I added sourdough bread on the side and tried the pork cheek bite, both of which elevated the meal even more. Pairing the pasta with a glass of prosecco made the experience feel just right. I'd recommend this place to anyone who's short on time but still craves authentic, high-quality Italian pasta. It's also a great option if you want a casual meal without the formality of full service.

The food is average Italian. I think I would have liked it better if my serving was hotter. It was like warm. It's all Self Serve you order on a pad then you pick up the food when it is done and take it to your table. You buss your own tables and pretty much everything is completed by you instead of the cooking. I don't hone if I would comeback here maybe one day to try it again when it's a busier time don't night waste better. Aldenti is aldenti here. We like it aldenti but not what we got it was hard not just firm.

Short rib Ragu

Talk about different concept for Italian restaurant. Nothing that I ever experienced. The menu almost build ur own dish start pick pasta, sauce, add more stuff to ur dish. They do have set menu dishes that can select. Also diverse menu more than just pastas plus desserts. The menu big walk in goes through the process. U walk up kiosk system place ur order. Someone there the chef helps if confused or backed up talk order. Once place order pay and pick table sit down wait for ur name call. Almost fast food style in sense but food so legit appreciate quick easy and pleasant experience. It so reasonable price love it. Day age find quality fresh pasta, nice portion, hearty, and under $20. Due' Cucina is steal of deal. I got the short ribs with bucatini noodles. Short rib perfect most, juicy, and deep flavor. Winnah. Mention earlier nice size. Friends enjoy the tiramisu so got try bite. Delicious. The customer service five stars. Chef super helpful, present, and everyone interaction with great. They have another location in Capital Hills area.

Lovely Italian restaurant that satisfies your pasta craving with an affordable price tag. Also, it's fresh. The quality here is something can't beat. It's an order at the register and self seating. Service was quick. Restaurant was spacious and clean. It wasn't so busy when we came and really enjoyed the space. I ordered the smoked salmon with buccatini; oh goodness, those noodles were so good! New fav noodles, the salmon was so smokey. Wished I asked for extra lol. It's quite a drive for me, but worth it.

Mushroom & White Truffle Oil
Peka G.

Due' Cucina gives quality pasta, with an Italian family- MOD Pizza type of vibe. Not necessarily custom pasta, but they do have six noodles to choose from, not including lasagna and ravioli. 11 sauces/pre set pasta combinations, and a hand full of add ons but I still feel like with those options to some people with dietary restrictions it's a bit limiting. But I did like the quality and taste both visits! I give the pasta noodles 4 stars and the sauces 3/3.5 stars. You order at the touch screen computer up front, or at the cashier on the side. You find a seat get utensil's- napkin's, they'll call your name to pick up to take to your seat or to go! You also are appreciated if you clean your table, by putting away your dishes in the dish pit and garbage-recycle-compost bins. I tried the smoked salmon with casarecce and the sauce was more flavorful than I thought it would be, a little salty but not overwhelming. The fresh noodles and spinach tamed the salted salmon cream flavor. Loved the delicate chew with the noodles. The second time I tried the Mushroom Truffle & White Oil, with the oil on the side suggested by the friendly cashier. I originally wanted Cacio E Pepe with mushrooms but it wasn't an option. It wasn't bad I kind of liked it more with the oil, it gave more of a punch of flavor. The mushrooms were not my vibe. After a while I just couldn't eat them. They didn't give a as freshly made vibe as the noodles did. They also have some wine's and beers, I liked the cider they had. I would like to try the Cacio E Pepe next time with a thinner style noodle, and maybe a salad! A good place to go for local, convenient but quality pasta.

Resturant has plenty of seating, self service kiosk when you first enter makes it easy to order and there are directions and explanations. Service is friendly, they do ask if you need help with ordering but that's about it. I did hear a server ask another table if they enjoyed their food- just not us. The table they asked came in after we did and got their food after us. I ordered the short rib ragu and arancini ball. The arancini ball was probably the best thing I hate out of all dishes, it was hot and had more flavorful than anything else. The ragu was fine, there was plenty of short rib but it lacked basic seasoning. My partner got the house salad and the agio sauce- also bland and needed seasoning. For the concept, price and fresh pasta, it's worth it but keep in mind you need to literally salt and pepper (and red chili packet) your entrees to bring out any sort of flavor.

Rumi C.

Due Cucina was an okay experience. The style of restaurant is feels like it's a cafeteria: you order and pay on an ordering terminal, you pick up your food from the bar, and you bus your table and dishes at the end. The bell pepper bruschetta was pretty good and I think the sourdough had a nice 'sour' touch to the dish. The pastas were undercooked and a bit too hard for our taste. The carbonara was a bit to egg yolky with not enough cheese or pasta water to make the sauce really saucy.

Gabriele E.

Good first experience overall. I was in between 4 and 5 stars really. I got the braised beef short rib gluten free pasta. It was delicious! The beef had great flavor and it was the 2nd best gluten free pasta I've had. My only complaint is that I paid 1.50 for extra cheese and the size of it is puny. I mean. Who puts that little cheese on their pasta! Not me. Bring on the cheese. I just feel the pricing is off for that little amount. Obviously I had it to go, so the pasta doesn't look very aesthetic, but the flavor was great!

Pinot Grigio for $20
Breanna V.

So I hate. And I repeat hate to give a bad review, but we were so disappointed by this place. It is all self serve. When I say that I mean to the point of they have signs asking you to bus your own tables, you get your own utensils, napkins, etc. Staff was super friendly. Food came out warm at best. Nothing seemed properly seasoned. We got the burrata which was ok but again no salt only a meager amount of pepper. I got the Cacio a Pepe and had barely any pepper, but very salt forward. Hubs got the carbonara and it also needed seasoning. We even got a bottle of white wine (only $20 so that was a plus) but it also came out room temp. Good things: staff, pasta texture, gender neutral bathrooms, cleanliness . Bad things: sadly everything else

Take out amartriciana! Delicious!!

Had the amatriciana there. Such a bargain. Make me wish I lived in Seattle so I could go more often. Very good food for a good price!

We hosted our gender reveal party here, and the team went above and beyond to make the event special. It's a fantastic venue for large gatherings, celebrations, and families with children of all ages. The staff is attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience for their guests. One of our favorite features is the patio. Whether it's a warm summer evening or a chilly winter night, the outdoor space is comfortable thanks to the heaters and inviting ambiance. The food speaks for itself. The pasta and pizza are made from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the difference in every bite. The Rigatoni is an absolute must-order, and whatever special is being featured that day is almost guaranteed to be a winner. The kitchen clearly takes pride in using quality ingredients and preparing everything with care. If you're looking for a family-friendly restaurant with incredible food, outstanding service, and a great space for celebrations, G.H. Pasta & Pizza should be at the top of your list.

The interior now is a very clean, well-decorated restaurant that is very heavily frequented, but makes you feel comfortable, unrushed, and unaware of the conversations around you. We were about a month out from the date we made our reservation - expect similar, though do check in for cancellations, and know that the bar does full menu service as well. Greeters and waitstaff were kind and complete the welcoming vibe through the whole service. Start with some specialty cocktails, or a selection from a decent wine list, and have at the menu. Indicate your interests to the waitstaff and they will help you program your meal service. Family-style works great here and the 4 of us split focaccia, charcuterie and a kale salad, split two pastas for primi, two entrees for secondi, and two deserts. The focaccia was studded with dark cherries and was a nice change. The kale salad was a huge hit, with ceasar-like dressing and almost a granola of seeds and fried capers tossed in. The summer cavatelli special was like a walk through a garden, very fresh and light. The tagliatelle is iconic, for good reason. We did a double-cut bone-in rib-eye that was prepared, paraded thru the dining room, and then carved for sharing. The king salmon was very fresh, but none of us were a fan of the braised bitter greens and leeks that accompanied it - skip this in favor of king elsewhere. As for desert - while the chocolate torte and tiramisu had great flavor, we all agreed the preoccupation with cocoa nibs was distracting to the mouthfeel of both dishes. If I had it to do over, I'd probably do more small plates and wrapping up with pasta and doing desert elsewhere. BUT gorgeous experience, on a gorgeous summer evening and still very glad we went!

Phoenecia…read morehas been in the neighborhood since 1970 and moved to their current location near the Alaska Junction in 2019. I fell in love with this place after using them for catering. We were looking for a different food experience beyond hotdogs. I was impressed. The family is Lebanese and the father was the inspiration for the food. When I came to k ow the place and the owners, the mother was active in the restaurant. She introduced me to Lebanese oregano (Za'atar) and gave me some to grow. The two sisters have always been nice, but Nadia and Sonya are simple beautiful humans that go Out of your way to ensure you have a great experience. Their wait staff are very good and you hardly know they are present as they quietly bring food and remove plates with quiet excellence. I have always felt warm and cared for each time I have eaten at Phoenecia and have been friends with the owners for about 15 years. I have friends that have food establishments but have not come close to Phoenecia. Burrata is a tricky one for me. To soft and it is like water and bland to a cheese with a very light flavor to begin with and too firm and it can have the texture of mozzarella. The shell of this was perfect and allowed me to enjoy it with the toasted bread. The warmed olives are a great way to start the meal. There is a hint of chili oil and decorated with arugula. I am not a fan of kale, however, the manner in which this salad is made with shredded kale, and a tangy dressing with toasted spiced garbanzo beans with Kalamata olives, blue cheese covered with thier lemon basil vinaigrette was just wonderful. The spicy shrimp strike an interring balance between the slices that are used and heat from the spices. I could eat this dish all night. There just never seems to be enough u til you remember that you still have another appetizer in the main course ahead of you. The saffron chicken linguini was amazing. The saffron flavor was intoxicating and I loved every fork full, leaving the sauce and bread as an additional treat together. I had a small tast of the gnocchi with lamb sausage in truffle oil and found it to be heavenly. I finished the meal With a Turkish affogato and enjoyed every sip and the melted vanilla ice cream simply added to the richness of the flavor. They have come up with a novel idea to recycle bottles that had whisky and use them for water. The shape adds a lovely decorative note to the table not expected. Phoenecia will always be a place like home for me.

To start I got the "Mediterranean G&T" - gin & tonic and what came out was a gin & tonic about as fancy the restaurant - a stem glass with a huge piney herb hanging out of it. The drink hit. My date got the "Pretty in Pink" which is small, but not in the alcohol percent dept. she said it was good. We shared some small plates - she raved about the Saffron chicken, and I recommended the roasted cauliflower. The Saffron chicken are short cuts accompanied by saffron sauce and some pitas to eat if off of. These sauce for sure is really good, I even put some on the cauliflower. My only complaint is some of the bites of I found to be too salty. The Cauliflower was also good, nicely seasoned but the cuts were huge and tough, I think it would be better presented with the florets. The service was good but the prices for what we got was a bit steep. The "small plates" and drinks came over $70. They were good, but not THAT good. Still the ambience, service and food for what it was along with a varied Mediterranean menu is good. I'd say Phoenecia is about a 3.5-4.
