At Due Amici it’s an a la carte proposition on Saturday and Sunday, which is good for people who try to avoid the all-you-can-eat propositions.
The egg-centric menu offers up good fare and reasonable portions at fair prices. Then comes the drink cart, where bloody Marys come as souped up as NASCAR fuel. We let the mixologist work her magic, tossing in such ingredients as crushed red pepper, cilantro, basil, muddled lemon and lime, Worcestershire sauce, fresh garlic, Tabasco, tomato juice and infused vodka.
Service, while abundantly friendly, is mixed. And the restaurant is in the midst of designing its fall menu, meaning some plates are no longer available but we weren’t told until after we placed our order.
As we surveyed the trendy space and the menu, we couldn’t help but think how much potential there was for Due Amici. But until it firms up its product, it will have limited appeal.
