Due Lire Vino & Cucina

Excellent. we've been looking for a replacement to Teragusto since they left their addison and wolcott location. I think we've found it!

My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner at Due Lire last week. We had the special tasting menu, and I think we definitely made the right choice. I got the shrimp ravioli which was good, but my wife's steak was the star of the show. I usually don't like steaks, but this filet was incredible. Just unbelievably tender and flavorful...I wish I was eating it right now.

The dessert course was also amazing. We got a roasted pistachio's in some sort of frozen creme, and at the table they poured a shot of espresso over the creme and it was just ridiculous. My wife and I are hunting for a copy-cat recipe to try and make it at home.

The only thing that keeps this from being a 5-Star review is the wait, it took a little too long for the food to start coming. We weren't in a rush, but the wait did feel just a bit excessive.

Other than that minor detail, it was an awesome experience, and we'll definitely be back!

My friend and I ate there last evening before catching a show. We were greeted by a gentleman who was a tad aloof...but we were seated at a very nice table. It took a few minutes to be asked what we wanted, but eventually someone got around to serving us. I ordered a soup, and we both ordered the white fish. I got the soup in a timely fashion, but the fish took forever. All the while we were both wearing our coats because the place was cold. when I went to the lady's room where it was nice and toasty...i made a joke that maybe i should eat in the lady's room..to which the waiter saud he would accommodate me...lol...... After about 30 minutes, We finally got our fish, which absolutely did not live up to expectations. I ordered a cup of coffee and we shared a sorbet. We asked for our check which was $58  and cents. I put down a $100 bill on the table, when the spectacled waiter picked it up, he looked at me and asked if I wanted change on that ???? to which I replied "of course" to which he replied  "I was just asking!"
Was he really expecting a $42 [72%]..on a $58 bill???? how rude, and arrogant and presumptuous!
He quickly brought back my change..without a word...not an apology...bout making a mistake...nothing...

Out of the kindness of my heart, and taking into consideration that these are difficult days for us all..I left a $10 tip [ca 17%]

We will not be going back!
