    We dine out frequently in Durham but had not been to Cucciolo Osteria recently. Overall, the experience was a disappointment. We were seated at a table for four that appeared to have been squeezed in next to the back wall and the kitchen server window - lots of commotion, noise and very bright lights. We waited for over 10 minutes before being acknowledged by the wait staff and even then we had to ask. The bottle of wine we ordered did not arrive until we had finished our appetizers. We enjoyed the food (except for the raviola dish). We ate quickly and left. It was not a pleasant dining experience.

    We enjoyed a wonderful evening last night with exceptional food and OUTSTANDING service. And even our friend who has very specific dietary needs was accommodated in every way and loved her meal. Thank you for such a great night. We can't wait to come back.

    The food is absolutely delicious. Everything we had from the catch of the day to the Butter Chicken was melt in your mouth goodness. Great service and yummy cocktails.

    First time visit. Terrific pasta, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Try the white ragu and anything with the tajarin-style pasta. Creative cocktails. Cool vibe. Impeccable service. We will return!

    On our second time eating here we were just as satisfied as the first time. Our server Shay was lovely, accommodating and helpful. The food was fantastic! The raviolo was AMAZING and the mushroom broth was velvety with some salty and sweet notes…perfection! My us and had the bolognese and it was very flavorful with small bits of vegetables and lots of meat. We finished with the affogato and it was the perfect ending to our meal. This will Be our go to place whenever we are in Durham. Highly recommend

    This was our first visit to Cucciolo. We really enjoyed the food. The pate and prosciutto were excellent! Pasta dishes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The cocktails were interesting and well prepared. We will definitely return.
