    Everything we had was delicious: Prosciutto Di San Daniel, Basil Tomato Bruschette with house-made ricotta, Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Rigatoni, Butter Chicken and Panna Cotta. Saurus Malbec was also good. Will definitely come back for a special occasion.

    Paul is the best mixologist, hands down in Durham. Always a great dining experience at Cucciolo.

    Good food and very friendly server. It does get a bit loud as the evening progresses. Fortunately we were seated in an area that minimized the noise.
