Duebaci Restaurant

I can't even begin to explain my experience here. I have been to a LOT of places that friends have sworn to me are real deal Italian. This, hands down, blew anywhere I've ever been to out of the water. Given that I grew up with large scale Italian meals for holidays, birthdays, losses (any reason really) I know what its like to taste hand crafted, home cooked goodness. My great grandmother, my grandmother, my mother & aunt all showed me the tradition. We started with the most INSANE mozzarella sticks. Fresh cut cheese, deliciously lightly breaded goodness wirh a sauce that even had my 3 year old niece craving more. Also ordered the sausage broccoli rabe, lump crab meat and caprese salad. I had a crab, scallop and shrimp pasta in a light cream sauce that was like, liquid gold. Every single flavor worked in tandem and the extensive wine list helped me pair it perfectly. For dessert most had decaf espresso but I chose a port wine. We had limoncello gelato that had that same 3 year old licking the flute clean! We also had a mango, passionfruit, vanilla truffle thing that tasted like sherbet and I needed a wheel barrel to leave! The hospitality and professionalism by the staff was unbelievable and our server paced everything perfectly. I wish I took more pictures but I was having too much of a good time eating all the food!! I highly recommend this place. Perfect access to the ferry as well, which is great cause I can't wait to convince my Connecticut friends to join me!!

7 of us went out for a birthday dinner. We had reservations and our table was waiting for us. The place isn't too large, the decor was nice, simple, and very clean. The acoustics was great for being crowed. The bread basket was warm-- Brooklyn style bread with dipping sauce. All the food was excellent, tasted fresh and healthy, not greasy. Our waitress was top notch, being very busy did not skip a beat. The drinks were great, we had dirty martinis, watermelon martini, coconut martini. I liked they left the shakers on the table so drinks were kept cold. One of the best parts was we weren't rushed at all. Great space in between apps and the main meal, so you weren't rushed at all. Had a great time and would go back.

Restaurant and decor is beautiful and inviting. We tried Cantera Negra tequila which I've only seen here and it was super smooth. Food was good but we were here for happy hour and I think they should have some more options to compete with other restaurants in the area like $1 oysters! Also they should put lights on the parking lot. Overall great experience. #beautiful #restaurant #duebaciitalianrestaurant #canteranegra
