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.

    Aria never disappoints. With an authentic Italian menu, every diner will be satisfied. Daily specials feature the talents of the excellent Chef’s. Great wine selection to complement any entree you choose. Aria has a great bar to enjoy while waiting for additional guests or just enjoying your favorite beverage.

    From the quiet, warm atmosphere to the personable and welcoming service to the outstanding dishes, a win all the way. Our party of 7 enjoyed everything put on the table. Proteins were cooked to perfection. The blueberry goat cheese salad was fantastic. The lamb shank was amazing. We truly enjoyed every item put on the table with not a single disappointment. It was also very nice to be in a restaurant where we could hear each other talk at each end of the table as the music was at a great volume. Our service was great and enjoyed chatting with the manager at the end of the evening. Lovely experience.
