- RRachelVIPAustin •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe seating felt a bit cramped especially for us as a table for 2 to be sat between the glass wall to the outside and a table of 4 which made us feel as if we were sharing a table with the men sitting next to us. Our server was very pleasant, engaging and attentive. The service was quick too. We had the aranchini which was delicate and delicious and a very generous portion. We shared the wild boar dish which was a ravioli stuffed with with ground wild boar and a robust flavorful sauce with spices .. absolutely delicious!! And again, we felt The portion was generous and more than enough for the 2 of us! We would score this a 9… But it wasn’t served really hot which would have made it a 10!! We were stuffed and although we shared the main course meal to leave room for dessert, we couldn’t fit it in so we had to take the tiramisu to go! Ate it later at the hotel and it was very good!!More infoCucciolo Terrazza RaleighPrice: Expensive• Italian• Raleigh•4.7
