   My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Cucciolo Osteria on January 30. Our service from Sarah was less than expected as she seemed somewhat distracted and less attentive than we would’ve liked. However, the food was creative and delicious. My wife enjoyed the tomato basil bruschetta and a creative professor pibb drink. My wife also enjoyed the spicy vodka tomato cream rigatoni, and I had the white Ragu Tajarin and both pastas were creative and delicious. We also shared the butter chicken Sostanza style which was unusual, but extremely tasty. The restaurant is very modern in decor and it does get rather loud in the restaurant but we still enjoyed a good meal.

   I had a great experience last night! The food was heavenly; the flavors were captured in every bite. The service was amazing too. I’ve been here several times before but this was probably my favorite!

   I had the carpaccio here, which is excellent, and the butter chicken, which was very pleasant. My wife had the green salad and the pasta with clam sauce, which she especially enjoyed. We shared panna cotta for desert, which was very good. Service, by Emily (?) was very good but the room was crowded and noisy, which detracted somewhat. Wine selection could have been better. Overall, a very good meal and we shall be back.

   Food was good but plates are small (specially the Burrata). Found food pricey. Not a bad experience, but certainly one I won’t be looking to repeat.

   We went for our anniversary and we’re told happy anniversary by the hostess and server, we were also given complimentary Prosecco. It was a nice touch that made us feel special. The food and service were incredible. We had such an amazing time and will definitely be back.

    Celebrated our 18th Wedding Anniversary there last night. Service was outstanding, prompt and friendly and handled an issue with our food quickly and professionally. The food was average, nothing really stood out as exceptional. The wine list was very good, we enjoyed an excellent Brunello. Overall an average experience, not sure we'd go again but maybe.

    I’d avoid the lamb chop. Portion for for what you pay didn’t seem adequate to me. Go with the steak. Fantastic and good value. Butter chicken is good for what you pay. Carbonara is best around. Hands down.

    Extremely overpriced considering the lack of ambiance and mediocre service. The food is good, not outstanding. There were some creative aspects like roasted grapes on the bruschetta and steak was perfectly cooked. We made this reservation 5 weeks ago and were anticipating an amazing meal and some authentic Italian to celebrate the holiday, but we were seated in the glare of the pick up window. There are not really any good seats because the place is shaped like a hallway. One meal there is about a quarter of a flight to Italy. Just skip Cucciolo and get a ticket to Rome for some amazing Italian.

    We dined here on Christmas Eve and had a wonderful experience. The menu was set because of the holiday, but there were numerous choices for everyone. The food was out of this world, piping hot and presented beautifully! Our server, Moe, was attentive, professional and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back!

    We love Cucciolo Osteria - especially the Christmas Eve dinner! Everything is always fantastic. If I have one complaint (it’s minor, trust me!)…This was the first year we did the wine pairing. The pairing itself was awesome. It was just a lot of wine. I was expecting half pours and would not have felt bad about the price if it had been. If I had not opted for the pairing, I would most likely only have 2 glasses of wine over the course of my entire meal, starting when I arrived. There’s a possibility my wife and I would split a glass of Sauternes with dessert for the special occasion. Again, the pairing was awesome. We both loved the wines themselves and how well they coupled with the food to elevate the entire experience to magical levels. Adding even more to this awesomeness was the interaction with the sommelier (I’m blanking on their name at the moment), who we loved talking through the various notes of each offering and how it plays with the dish we chose. It’s always an awesome experience and we look forward to out next visit!

    Our recent experience didn't match the prior fabulous experience. Carbonara was excellent. The pasta with clams was very, very heavy on the garlic (and we like garlic.) The beef shank was heavy on potatoes and polenta with few other root veggies.

    Experience was fantastic. We’re from WI, CHI & ORE. We met for my daughter’s graduation from Duke. Since we can’t be together for Christmas, we also celebrated that. We shared several appetizers. Delicious. A couple bottles of wine, can’t complain. The entrees were so so good. No complaints at all from our party of 6. Great vibe, attentive staff.

    The room was cold and we had to eat in our jackets. The lighting was poor and actually had trouble seeing the food in the bowl it was served in. We had the Beef with vegetables and beef was fatty. Definitely not worth the $46 per diner.
