Great new restaurant that has opened up in the heart of South Lyon. The 3rd floor bar is very cozy and can be full but never overcrowded with the high ceilings and deliciously made drinks. The food is very good for the most part but we haven’t toured the entire menu just yet. Great place to have some drinks and enjoy some food that has great experience and passions behind it. No dress code here but dressing up a bit helps add to the atmosphere and character of this blossoming little gem. They are a great addition to the South Lyon and look forward to more visits in the future. Chef Randall Kuna
Dua Vino is a hidden gem in downtown South Lyon! With each visit our food, service, and atmosphere are exceptional. We especially enjoy our favorite sever, Megan. If you haven’t dined at Dua Vino yet, you’re missing out!
When you go to the restaurant, I can't recommend Megan for your server enough! So attentive. Helpful and really overall amazing! Knowledgeable of the wine list, freshness and pairings. Now for the showstopper! This food is fresh, flavorful fragrant and hot! Everything you could want in a meal. Spend the money and get the bread appetizer. Their focaccia is the lightest fluffiest most beautiful I've ever seen! The Play appetizer is amazing! Use the focaccia to soak up the juices and you will can't go wrong This is definitely a new go-to place restaurant for special occasions!!!

May have been the best meal I've had in over a year. Went here for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. I am so glad we decided to try something new. We lived in Italy for a time, and we can definitively say that this is authentic Italian food, and it was SO good.
We grabbed a couple of drinks on the up-in-the air 3rd level Bar. Cozy. Great view..especially of a beautiful victorian house on the corner. Good service. I love all the extra eye candy this place has including giving us ladies a chandelier in the restroom. I like it when a restaurant goes above and beyond and provides more than food for it's clients like the beautiful wood tables with glitter imbedded in the surface epoxy coating. Food you can get anywhere and no doubt for less. It's got 'special occasion' or 'date night to impress' pricing written all over it. It's easy to miss the classy outside design if you're traveling down the busy street. We hit it up because a store owner around the corner told us it's a must stop kind of place and people in South Lyon were happy to see such a classy place.
South Lyon now has a dinning establishment that is truly a destination restaurant. Great atmosphere, attentive service and good food. Megan was our server and did an excellent job. Great menu for pasta lovers and the salmon was very good, too. Downstairs is a place to go for special occasions and the bar upstairs has a relaxed more casual vibe. Dua Vino has created an excellent atmosphere in which to dine, one that is on par with other upscale restaurants in the Metro area.
We stumbled upon Dua Vino during a power outage in our neighborhood, and it's become one of our favorite local spots. I honestly have no pictures to share because we enjoy our experience so thoroughly each time, I never even think about grabbing my phone. We've yet to try a bad dish, and when I say order the bread - please, order the bread Whether we've been upstairs at The Bar, or down in the main dining room, the service is always spectacular - truly mastered elegant yet approachable service. One of these days I'll remember !
