"DueLire Vino & Cucina, Lincoln Square. Great for a night out with your favorite guy or gal. We can’t say enough good things about this place. They use local and seasonal ingredients, their pasta is homemade, the wine is some of the best we’ve had, the food is off the charts and the staff is just awesome. The owner is always there, enjoying every moment of his business and making sure everyone’s taken care of. The patio is a treat, with lights strung overhead, mosaic tiled tables and flowers lining the patio. Order a bottle of wine (the Gran Passione Rosso won't disappoint) and plan to stay a while. Start out with the cheese board and the soup of the day. The short rib ravioli or flat iron steak is great for the main course. If you’re still hungry after all that goodness, get the Panna Cotta with fresh fruit for dessert. Tip: Wednesdays are half price bottles of wine with the purchase of an entree."
