What travelers say:
One of my best meals in Julia. Don’t even hesitate to make a reservation here. The chef starts by walking around to greet the entire restaurant and tries to make a connection with every table. The menu can be a tasting if you’d like, but I opted for the à la carte choose your own adventure style. especially since I don’t like desserts, I thought this was a much better value around €20 per dish. Every dish was a stand out. I particularly loved the sea urchin and mussel caccio e pepe. The kitchen uses local and seasonal ingredients and has beautiful presentation. The service was always on point, I never felt neglected or othered because I was a tourist. There was a good mix of Italians and English speaking tables. You do have to budget about three hours for the entire meal, as there’s plenty of time in between courses to digest. But, overall, if you’re looking for a really great meal to understand how food from this region can be upscaled and elevated, you must try eating at Duo. Grazie!
