Al Duca was opened by leading restaurateur Claudio Pulze in 1999. As part of Pulze’s 'Cuisine Collection' restaurant group, Al Duca remains one of the most popular restaurants in the St. James area of the capital with a loyal clientele of diners. Serving modern Italian cuisine, Al Duca focuses heavily on bringing out the very best elements of what is one of the most acclaimed gastronomic regions of the world. The menu at Al Duca emphasises the use of simple fresh ingredients, skilfully combined to bring out the best of a wide range of traditional dishes offered both in classic style and with a new twist, all following Pulze’s ethos to offer reasonably priced good Italian food.

    We had 4 “starters”, 3 Pastas, one desert. They ARE out of the world. Wine is top of the class with almost the same price as in Vivino. New place, new style of menu (small plates option for most of the dishes) BUT, THE quality, THE authenticity, THE uniqueness, so many THE;s etc are THE SAME. Value for money is unparalleled especially in this post COVID world. Thank you Al Duca.

    An Italian restaurant that serves most of its dishes in 2 sizes. We decided to try several dishes by selecting the smaller portions - Italian tapas. Food was superb. Lovely pasta dishes, fantastic calves liver with mash and zucchini fritti which came with a delightful lime mayonnaise dip. Serving staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Very nice lunch, thanks.

    The menu is fairly diverse and food on the whole excellent although some of the servings were a bit strange. The waiters were very attentive but didn't always seem to know what to do e.g. pouring far too large glasses of white wine.

    Enjoyable pre-theatre meal at Al Duca. Very good food and good service although, like so many restaurants, they did go AWOL when we were ready to pay ! Chicken Milanese was very good and a generous portion.

    Great service on a very busy pre Christmas lunchtime. If you want good Italian food & wine at a sensible price this hidden gem would be an excellent choice.

    A lovely restaurant with the perfect pre-theatre dinner. We enjoy Gluten Free choices and there were several to try and we enjoyed them all! Thank you.
