    First time at this restaurant. It was a perfectly enjoyable visit, and we are determined to return and try their other menu items. Our favorites so far are all the salads we ordered, the gnocchi with fresh grilled asparagus, and the grilled salmon salad were all perfect. The service was also perfect today! We will be back.

    One word - Underwhelming! My mother took me here for my birthday and we got their Two-Course Prix Fixe Lunch and none of the dishes were bad but none sang any high notes either. From all the reviews were were fully expecting something different and excellent. We got semi-creative and salty dishes with underwhelming flavors. Also for the time of day and the number of diners the service was very slow but nice. The reservation was put in as a birthday lunch and no ones throughout all the service wished me a happy birthday or even asked if I wanted some type of dessert.

    Went here for a birthday brunch and it was amazing. We had a group of 16 so they made a special fixed menu for the group. Avocado toast and salad was delicious. Got the chicken and waffles and it was very savory, they very easily swapped the raspberry syrup for normal syrup. Service was fantastic and they really card about the group and the experience. The menus were personalized for our event and it was a very nice touch! Everyone enjoyed their drinks as well, mimosas were strong and the bloody Mary's had the right heat to them! Would reccomend!

    Truly enjoyed the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. Upon entering was greeted immediately and was kindly brought to my table. Waiting staff seemed to lack a detailed knowledge of the menu. Drinks were overpriced for the quality of the cocktails. Food was good but not on par with other restaurants in the same fine dining category. Overall, I'd say the restaurant has great potential but needs more attention to making their dishes better tasting and improving their cocktails. I wouldn't go here again when there are so many other restaurants in the same price range with better tasting food.

    My entire life, I have lived very nearby this restaurant, and yet it’s remained a hidden gem to me until very recently. Now that I’ve unearthed it, I’ve visited two weekends in a row, and I can’t get enough! From the service, to the atmosphere, to the food, to the drinks, everything here is first-rate. The first time I went, I was helped by Victor, and the second time I was helped by a younger gentleman named Erick; both times the service was so great that I can only imagine the rest of the staff to be just as professional and lovely. Erick especially was so knowledgeable in every aspect of the menu, which elevated our experience because he provided the best recommendations. The atmosphere is modern and chic, while still maintaining a sense of warmth that makes it great for intimate gatherings or dates. As for food, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part, but I’ll have you know they taste even better than they look, which I frankly didn’t believe possible until i tasted it. The cocktails are unique, varied, but most importantly, all great, meaning everyone can find something they like. The wine selection is varied and well curated which makes for great pairings no matter what you choose to eat. Unfortunately, I heard somewhere that it’s set to close by the end of the year which is truly devastating and NB will have a difficult time finding a way to fill its place. Seriously, take a trip here while it’s still open and before it’s too late!!

    I’m from Atlanta and my boyfriend is here for school so I came up to visit for Valentine’s Day. I made the reservation a couple weeks in advance and we arrived at Due Mari, right on time. Immediately we checked our coats, and the hostess led us downstairs to the private dining room, how nice! We placed our orders for the 3 course fixed price menu an our appetizers came out, delicious. We started noticing after that though, that the tables seated about 20-30 minutes after ya we already getting their apps & entrees, while we still waited for ours. Our waitress came by and noticed and assured us our food was almost out. Our meals came and were given to the table next to us... they didn’t complain so they ate it anyway. We waited about 35-40 minutes before our entrees arrived. I cut into my filet and it was purple... I ordered medium (slightly pink in the center) and I received rare. I was quite upset because it seems as though the waitress noticed we didn’t receive our meals and she hurried the kitchen, which hurried my steak. I didn’t want to wait any longer, so I just ate around it. I wasn’t very pleased with the service, especially for the prices and it being Valentine’s Day and we were in the private dining room.

    Due Mari is a great Italian restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ. Went for the half priced pasta on Sunday, went back for everything else. The bartenders can craft wonderful cocktails. The service is always on point and it is great for a variety of occasions such as business dinners, date night, or happy hour. This is one of my go-to spots in the New Brunswick Downtown area. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Let me me know what you think!
