    Cucciolo is a Durham favorite. A classic. I have been multiple times, but I even brought two friends for the first time and they loved their experience there. They really know how to make you feel welcomed and taken care of during your meal. I recommend Cucciolo to everyone. I wish certainly miss it when I move, but can’t wait for the next time!

    Parking is hard to come by and you have to pay. Menu is limited. I ate Parmigiano Pi Melanzane, it was fine.

    Only issue was tha we were having a cocktail when salad came- would have like our server to have slowed things down although when we asked, she did!
