DuPont Italian Kitchen is a cozy and moderately priced Italian restaurant. The restaurant offers a straightforward menu and a warm, intimate atmosphere. It is known for its old-world cuisine and friendly staff. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including appetizers, pasta such as vodka sauce and puttanesca, and a selection of wine. The outdoor seating is an added bonus on pleasant evenings. The veal piccata and Caesar salad are popular menu items, and the tiramisu is highly recommended. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are well-portioned. The restaurant provides a good value for its cozy setting and old-world charm.
Recent reviews praise the warm and welcoming atmosphere, from the top management to the wait and kitchen staff. Customers have enjoyed dishes like calamari, pork piccata, and a pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, capers, garlic, and olive oil. The service is quick and friendly, and the owner, Michael, is described as a nice guy. The wine choices are excellent, and customers never feel rushed. However, some reviews mention issues with mosquitoes in the outdoor seating area.
