Due' Cucina Italiana Totem Lake

Pasta is always great! Wish they still had the Amatriciana on the menu.

Great place to enjoy an authentic plate of pasta. It’s a self service so definitely not a cozy restaurant but food is great with high quality ingredients.

I ate there recently and I have to say I was disappointed in learning that they charge for Parmesan as a topping on my dish. Mind you, this is my first time. When you order you food you’re asked to leave a tip at the end of the order (touch screen ordering) I was shocked that my table was sticky when after all there was hardly anyone around. When my name was called, I had to pick up my own order and place it on my table. If you wanted water, there’s a dispenser but no ice. If you ask one of the employees for ice in your glass, they give you an attitude as if it were too troublesome to give you ice. Once you’re done with your meal, you expected to place your plates, glasses, trash in their perspective plastic bins. There’s no thank you or come back again… but even a “how was the food?” During this time there were two employees sitting at a table near the trash area just looking at something on a laptop. I found their lack of attention to the customers to be poor and disrespectful. Too busy to wipe the tables and sweep the floor… yes, the floor was dirty and had dried pasta and sauce from previous customers.The pasta was prepared well and the sauce was well suited for the dish. However, the portions are small for the amount of money you pay. I was told that the portions are even smaller if you take out. I think this establishment would be wonderful if it had customer service. I would advise against leaving a tip as there is literally no service. You have to seat yourself, pick up your food from a counter, place yourself food in your table and clean up after yourself. Not worth the money to be honest for the amount of food you get and then Parmesan is extra (hand on face)

I love the smoked salmon caserecce! It’s so good!!! ?

Highly recommend the tomato based pastas! Also add the sausage and sourdough toast, they give a good portion size and taste really good. Food comes out very fast and is nice and hot. Tiramisu is very boozy if you like
