Bringing New Brunswick locals and visitors the very best of Italian and European food fare is Due Mari on Albany Street. The name is a translation of ‘two seas’ in Italian, and this inspires much of the restaurant’s menu, which focuses on seafood. However, if seafood isn’t for you, this quaint bistro also serves a great selection of signature handmade pasta dishes and succulently grilled meats. Key items from the menu include the chef’s selection of east and west coast oysters, saffron clam chowder, crispy calamari, and squid ink pasta. The menu is beautifully accompanied by a cocktail menu and a collection of wines from the major regions in Italy, as well as other bottles from France and the USA. For those looking for a more intimate evening, there is private and semi private dining spaces available. Although situated in the heart of the city, Due Mari will transport you to the cultural soul of Italy and Europe.
