Welcome to Dua Vino (open for dinner) + The Bar (our 3rd floor restaurant and bar open for lunch and dinner).

Our main floor restaurant offers a contemporary Italian cuisine that will tantalize your taste buds with dishes like baci di mama with truffle oil, fritto misto, scallops, and a 28-day dry aged ribeye. But don't forget to save room for our famous Mama Drita's cheesecake. As you step inside, the atmosphere will immediately transport you to a world of ambiance, with perfectly dimmed lights, hand-painted walls, and upbeat jazz music setting the mood for a memorable evening.

Our third floor restaurant and bar boasts it's own menu with shareable entrees like flatbreads, steak tips and a mouth-watering wagyu burger. With windows that fully open it is quite the spot for lunch or dinner with a view.

Our restaurants are housed in a beautifully renovated historic building in the heart of downtown South Lyon, where no detail was overlooked in preserving its original character.

We chose to go here for our anniversary and overall had a great time. The place is very nice inside and they have a great menu. We tried a little of everything and most of the food was very good as was the service.

Overall, it was a great dining experience. The birthday card on the table was a special touch for our guest of honor. It’s too bad you cannot get a craft cocktail in the dining room.

We have been trying to get here for dinner since it opened. Finally got there last night. We probably won’t go back to the dining room but the bar upstairs is better. The dining room is cramped and loud. Very hard to carry on a conversation. The food was ok. Soup and focaccia bread was awesome. Salad just seemed to be spring mix greens on a plate with a few walnuts and blue cheese. Nothing special. The entree was not good. Three of the 4 at our table ordered the baramundi fish dish that was recommended by our server. The fish was over cooked and the overall impression of the dish was very greasy. My husband ordered the bucatini carbonara and it was good. Food is pricey for the quality. Our service was excellent. Very attentive. So unfortunately, my expectations were high and left unimpressed.

Daniel was a fantastic server, helpful and knowledgeable. I do wish he mentioned that the beef tips came with bread ;-). We ended up with way too much with a separate order of bread. Food was good, not exceptional. Pasta was a little over sauced, especially the baci. Lovely space, music was nice and low so you could talk. We had a nice evening

Overall a great experience - just wish the dining room offered craft cocktails. The liquor offerings in the dining room was bare bones but adequate. You have to go upstairs to the bar to get more exciting drinks but even there the cocktails were meh.

Very nice place in dowtown South Lyon. The main level restaurant is very small and the tables are very close together. We arrived early for dinner because other friends said it can get very hard to hear each other talk. I would agree. The food was very good. I would recommend but I personally prefer a more quiet setting to my eating out experience. We will try the upstairs bar the next time we go since I think that might be better and I heard the food options are great up there also.

It was our first time and we were very impressed! The bar upstairs is a fun atmosphere and the lower restaurant is lovely! The food was excellent and perfectly prepared! Portions are generous and I am looking forward to the leftovers for lunch today. We had the bread, arancini, frutti di mare pasta and the ribeye. Everything was delicious! We will go back again!

Enjoyed our first-ever visit to Dua Vino. Maddy was our friendly and helpful server. Her attentiveness and positive energy enhanced the dining experience. Every item we selected was delicious and prepared to our liking, which was especially helpful for the two Salmon entrees ordered. The sea scallops were also prepared perfectly and enjoyed by our group of four. Soup and dua salad were also excellent. What a wonderful and delightful first impression of this very classy new restaurant in South Lyon.

I ordered a side of spaghetti along with the chicken marsala. I typically order a side of spaghetti at any new Italian restaurant I visit to judge the sauce / authenticity. I was charged for a full order of spaghetti- $26 - plus, the pasta was overcooked. I more than likely will never go back since there are better Italian restaurants in my area.
