We loved our food and our server. The appetizers, the Carbonara, and the Sostanza chicken were fantastic. We also loved thr pistachio gelato. The only thing I would change is the QR menus — I wished they had paper menus. But, we enjoyed our experience overall!

We had a fabulous excellent dinner before the John Mellencamp show at DPAC (walkable distance!)! The food was superb, the wine list has a good variety, the background music added to the ambience without being too loud. Though it was very busy, we had no problem hearing each other and the conversations from other tables was like white noise. Our server - think her name was Maggie - gave exactly the right amount of attention, spot on recommendations and a nice bit of friendliness. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Service was good, ambiance was fine but the food was very disappointing. Our appetizer portion (burata) was very small, and unsalted. The house salad was way too acidic and the ‘bone-in’ pork chop came sliced (!) and overcooked. The only redeeming dish was the pasta (vongole) which was al dente and well seasoned but had only a few small clams. Super disappointing. And expensive. Will not be back.

Courtney hostess and Mo our waiter were so accommodating. My little child has allergies to dairy and eggs the chef was able to accommodate. Now the food was superb. I would recommend everything from the menu. The service was awesome! I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. We are actually taking are in laws for their wedding anniversary. We are looking forward to going again.

A little pricey but the best linguine carbonara I've ever had. Some of the other pastas are not up to that standard.

This wonderful gem was recommended by a friend and it could not have been more enjoyable. The restaurant is so warm and inviting - we dined at the bar and had wonderful service. The drinks were crafted beautifully and the wine list is impressive. The food was exceptional! There were no disappointments and we will definitely return.

Good food, the pasta with vongole was quite spicy - I enjoyed it but not everyone would. Disappointed that no bread was served with the meal...bread option not even on the menu as far as I could tell.

This is about a ten to twelve minute walk from DPAC Appetizer was excellent (Burrata)homemade ricotta with fresh tomatoes and spices! Waitress recommended Lemon Tagliatelle and it did not disappoint. I will definitely return to try some of the other dishes! Didn’t have room for dessert, portions were perfect.

All dishes were really good except the carbonara. It was not good. We had the dish many times in the past and all times were fantastic, but this time - not good.

Delicious! Came to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. She has gluten and dairy sensitivity and plenty of options available for her. She had the truffle tajarin and raved about it. Our server, Emily, was delightful. Service was top notch. The beet salad was amazing. Can’t wait to return!

The staff kindly accommodated our request for a table when a last minute visitor came for dinner. The food was delicious, a nice selection of both mains and appetizers. It took a while to get our mains, that was our only complaint, but we were also there on their busiest day of the week, Monday. Overall, we will happily return.

This was my first time at Cucciolo Osteria and I was very pleased. All the staff were engaging, pleasant, helpful and customer-oriented. In fact, I would say the two big reasons to go to Cucciolo Osteria are: the food and the experience. The food is well-made and follows authentic Italian cuisine that you'd get in a decent Italian restaurant in Italy; that is, food based upon proven traditions. Italians insist on well-made food, even if it is simple. They also appreciate traditional recipes that evolve. You will find this at Cucciolo. The experience is customer-oriented - the staff are prompt, helpful and knowledgeable. The menu allows for options including gluten-free pasta. Our wait person was able to make a slight change in the amount of cheese in a dish. A very pleasant experience, and one worth repeating.

This is our favorite, go-to restaurant whenever we are in the Durham area. Good wines, good food. Gets a little noisy when it is busy, but then every good restaurant does. I would love to see some murals in certain places - something Italian, particularly very sterile nook right behind the entry way where they have the table for larger parties.
