Ate their recently with a friend, and it was so dang good, I had to go back with my husband a week later. Food and service are impeccable! Mo was so helpful letting me sample different wines that now I’ve discovered a new grape that I love, and our server on the patio was friendly and a delight, as well!

Nice first visit to the restaurant. Food was good (try the grape bruschetta!) although pricey for what you got. One frustrating thing was they said they only had room at the bar for two m. When we walked in at least 4 tables for two were open just in the area we could see. For the hour we were there there were no fewer than three tables open (Which is a large percentage for this small restaurant).

This restaurant is a great date night go to. We are both lovers of Italian food and Cucciolo Osteria was top notch. We started with the Bruschetta and got the Carbonara and Lamb rack. Both were very tasty and perfectly cooked. Finished with amaretto and the wonderful tiramisu. Overall great experience!

We love this restaurant. Sat at the bar and had outstanding service, but it was entirely too fast. Unfortunately we were out in about 50 minutes . No idea why the arancini was so bland and the bread for the cichetti was downright stale. My bolognese was way too salty. We’ll keep coming back, but it seemed like an off night.

This place is officially my go-to spot for special occasions. The drinks are unique and delightful. The food is delicious, and the staff are so kind and excellent at their jobs. Ironically, my Uber driver there had recently started working at the restaurant as a waiter (hi John). He attested that everyone on staff is amazing and the employees are treated well. He also recommended the creamed mushroom appetizer, and dang, he was right! I could have eaten a bowl of those mushrooms with some tagliatelle or in a ravioli. Our waiter recommended the smoky Old Fashioned, and it was both surprising and smooth to drink. From top to bottom, Cucciolo Osteria is truly a 5-star experience!

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food. We loved the bruschetta and tiramisu. A few of my dishes included the house-made ricotta, which may have been my favorite part of the experience! Also impressed by the number of vegetarian options.

Our server Maggie was knowledgeable and attentive. I had the lemon tagliatelle and my husband had the truffle tajarin, both were absolutely fantastic, which is saying a lot seeing as he is Italian and can be quite picky about his pasta. Also, the creamed mushrooms as an app were outstanding. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back!

Kailee was an amazing server. She guided us to pick the most incredible items from the menu. We had the grape bruschetta, a house salad, buttered chicken, spicy vodka rigatoni and the palpette pasta special of the evening. We tried some of everything and shared family style. Everything was delicious! Fave was the palpette special(pasta and meatball with a phenomenal flavor), then was the spicy vodka rigatoni. Dessert of chocolate torte and the cannapatta. This was an incredible dinner and will definitely be back very soon! The best Italian!!!
