The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

My family and I went to Acqua Ragazza for my birthday. Everyone loved their meal! We ordered the tortellini with meat ragu, blackened shrimp with saffron risotto and veal scallopini. All were excellent!

We went for Valentine’s Day and chose the preset menu. The food was amazing and the drinks were made very well. Our server Grace was truly a highlight. She had a great personality and guided us through the menu with ease. She made really great suggestions. We can’t wait to try their brunch.

Service and Food were top notch. Our server was quick, polite, and went the extra mile for us on a personal request. The dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives is our absolute favorite and the pasta is the best in the city. A perfect date
