The Totem Lake iteration of Due Cucina Italian Restaurant prioritizes a straightforward approach to pasta and sandwiches. Here, the concentration on a focused menu proves beneficial, with the basic Bolognese sauce standing out as particularly well-executed, accompanied by pasta cooked to a precise al dente. Ravioli also meets expectations.
Customers may encounter a fully self-service model. The General Manager, Ryan, engaged in conversation with a group, offering guidance on selections. One diner found the smoked salmon with creste de gallo pasta notably delicious, a dish that evoked memories of Italian travel.
However, not all dishes achieved success. A carbonara arrived bland, its pancetta inexplicably burnt, suggesting an overextended preparation.
