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.

    I frequently dine at Duo Vino and the experience has always been consistent. The atmosphere is incredible, although somewhat loud depending on the time and quantity of guests, which is to be expected anywhere. This visit was one of the best as the tomahawk veal chop was incredible and some of the best veal I have ever tasted. My GF ordered the special seafood pasta and it too was delicious. Our server Megan facilitated the best service experience yet since my starting to frequent this spot amongst the limited options for fine dining in South Lyon. Although other reviews mention it being “over priced”, in our small town you truly get what you pay for and Duo Vino is no exception as the quality is impeccable. I will definitely be returning again and again.

    Valentines Day Date Night Made reservations for 8:30 Showed up at 8:25 and was told our table wasn’t ready and we could go wait at the bar on the third floor. Found 2 seats at the bar and grabbed cocktails while waiting. Service was attentive and our table was ready at 8:45. We were able to take our drinks down to our table. Had the bread and pesto and arancini for appetizers. Both delicious. Hubby had lamb chops and I got scallops. Excellent! Wanted to take tiramisu to go and they were sold out. Flourless chocolate cake was the only other option and that didn’t sound good. Waitstaff was great! Ambience very quiet and packed in tables for dining room. Probably would have preferred to have eaten in the bar area which had a better vibe. Overall a good dining experience and very cool building

    Atmosphere is perfect. Cozy and lighting was inviting. We were seated at the front small table against the corner table. Felt so special! The caprice salad was gigantic but lacked fresh basil leaves so I had to request that from kitchen. Prices were too high. But the atmosphere was wonderful.

    Very Nice restaurant. Food was good, we had the calamari and shrimp appetizer which was awesome then I had the scallops which I thought was good not awesome though, my husband had the risotto and he thought it was great. The homemade bread was tasty but for us to heavy we like a light crunchy type bread. The lavender hazy drink is very good!! We would like to go again to try the other dishes we saw come out of the kitchen. I would recommend this place!

    This place has never disappointed us and we’ve been there 10-12 times since it opened. The food is excellent and the service (Megan) is exceptional. We’ll keep coming back!

    What a wonderful find! Made reservations for our family to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. Lovely restaurant! The staff rocks and the food is superb. The cheesecake was unparalleled to any I've had before! Will be returning in the very near future! ❤️

    Hidden gem in South Lyon! Visited on a Tuesday night, it was easy to get a table. Megan was our server, service was perfect, her recommendations were spot on. The food was wonderful, we tried a couple of appetizers and shared the lamb chops, they were fantastic! The dining room was very cool. Thanks for a very nice dining experience!
