There are few experiences in life as enjoyable as having a great, home-cooked meal with friends, family, and loved ones. It is a true celebration of life and everything it offers; there is no substitute for great food, good company, and wonderful friends. For many cultures, food and celebration are the same; the perfect example is Italian food. It’s an experience that simply isn’t duplicated by any of the national Italian fast-food restaurant chains. It only comes from experiencing Italian cuisine that is meticulously prepared, using the freshest and most wholesome of ingredients. For West Seattle patrons, that experience is front and center at Due' Cucina – the best and most accomplished Italian restaurant in the West Seattle junction.
With five locations, Due' Cucina has become the go-to place and top destination in the West Seattle junction and beyond for fresh, authentic, homemade pasta dishes and first-rate Italian cuisine. Whether it’s Italian takeout or enjoying a comforting and casual dining experience, every Due' Cucina Italian restaurant embodies everything wonderful about experiencing homemade pasta and authentic Italian food.
Our Italian restaurant in North Seattle, WA, first opened in 2021 with a promise to provide our customers with an Italian eating experience unlike any other. It came from an appreciation of the fine homemade Italian food our founders Davide and Filippo experienced with their Nonnas and Nonnos in Italy.
As high-school friends, Davide and Filippo arrived in Seattle from Italy and immediately noticed the need for an Italian restaurant in West Seattle that could provide a little piece of home. With the aspiration of offering customers the very same incredible authentic Italian food Davide and Filippo grew up with, the two started their own Italian restaurant.
Nearly seven years later, every Due' Cucina location has become synonymous with outstanding Italian food in a quaint and casual setting. Everything is made in-house, done with care and devotion to paying homage to the incredible dining and Italian food Davide and Filippo grew up with.
It’s our way of sharing a little piece of Italy with customers whom we consider friends.
So, as the best Italian restaurant in Capital Hill, WA, what can you expect the first time you visit Due' Cucina?
From our incredible sourdough bread, endless pasta choices, spicy and mild Italian sausages, and creamy salad dressing, everything we make and sell is made from scratch. For every member of the Due' Cucina, pasta must be handmade. To provide the best Italian food means doing everything possible to duplicate the Italian eating experience.
That means making our own pasta the same way Davide and Filippo’s parents and their parents before them. It’s why all our Due' Cucina locations have become so popular. Whether it’s enjoying a fantastic meal with friends, going out for excellent Italian food with family, or ordering Italian food catering in Seattle, WA, our team ensures every eating experience is a memorable one.
Using extra virgin olive oil, rich, yellow-hued semolina flour, and the perfect touch of salt and eggs, the pasta-loving team at every Due' Cucina location provides an extensive selection of incredible pasta. Whether it’s spaghetti, Casarecce, Paccheri, or others, all our pasta dishes start with us making the perfect pasta.
From fresh basil, large, plump red tomatoes, roasted garlic, perfectly seasoned salmon, fresh parsley, spinach, pine nuts, and almonds to our perfectly cooked chicken and Parmigiano cheese, we ensure every ingredient is meticulously selected and prepared so you can savor every bite.
One of the more frustrating parts of eating at a national Italian restaurant chain is that their focus has been and always will be on maximizing profits. That often means cutting corners, saving on ingredients, and using processed foods. It means rushing you in and rushing you out. In the worst cases, it means having your Italian meals premade and ready for you when you arrive.
In the vast majority of cases, a national Italian restaurant chain has lost its narrative. Although it may have once taken great care in preparing its meals, eventually, as it grew, it abandoned what made it unique. It sacrificed great Italian takeout and food for the money.
At Due' Cucina, our entire focus is to separate ourselves from any other Italian restaurant in the West Seattle junction or across Washington and beyond. Our focus is to share what we love most about Italian food: the freshness of our ingredients, our meticulous attention to detail, the pleasure of creating wonderful Italian dishes, and the joy we feel when our customers thank us for a great Italian meal, will always drive our approach to Italian cuisine.
At the end of the day, our success comes from a love of Italian food. It comes from appreciating the beautiful experiences of sharing special times with friends and family. Our customers see our infectious appreciation for Italian food. It’s something they can taste and share with their friends and family that warms their hearts.
Our food stands out because we go the extra mile to ensure every dish we serve, every dessert we prepare, and every coffee or expresso we provide is made with love and joy. Whether you’ve chosen our infamous Carbonara pasta dish, our Aglio & Olio pasta dish with its extra virgin olive oil, freshly cut parsley, and roasted garlic and breadcrumbs, or our iconic Mushroom & White Truffle pasta, you’ll taste our appreciation and care.
Everything from our sides and appetizers to our pasta, lasagnas, and eggplant parmesan to our Italian-imported selection of craft premium sodas and beverages is offered to make you feel like you’re enjoying a wonderful meal on the Italian coast.
To ensure all our West Seattle Junction customers can enjoy our finely made pasta in the comfort of their own homes, Due' Cucina customers can order Italian takeout or buy our freshly made pasta at any of our locations.
Our cook-at-home pasta options include our Classic Casarecce, Paccheri, and Spaghetti pasta boxes and our exclusive high-protein Casarecce pasta box. Whether you’re ordering Italian takeout for yourself, your friends, or your family or deciding to have us cater a special family get-together or other West Seattle junction event, you’ll forever remember our fine Italian food, incredible pasta, and fantastic desserts.
