Cucciolo Osteria Durham

An exceptional (off) Valentine’s Day dinner with outstanding food, warm ambiance, and truly top-tier service from start to finish! Great price for cost, strong value! My wife and I came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance of cozy and refined, making it ideal for a special night out. Service was excellent across the board. Our waitress, Maggie, was awesome, attentive, personable, and on top of everything all evening. Raul and Eldrin were also fantastic, and every staff member we interacted with was kind and professional. For drinks, we started with the craft root beer, which had a creamy texture and nice vanilla/pecan flavor profile, and the Cozy Pear mocktail, which was also a great choice. For appeti

Had dinner at Cucciolo before seeing a show at DPAC. The ladies split the beet salad which they said was very good. I had the white sausage ragu for my entree, it was pretty good but nothing really special and the portion was a little small for my taste. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals more and the portions were more generous. Lastly, we shared the chocolate torte which I found had an unusually spongey texture for a torte. Not my favorite, will have to try other dishes if I come back.

Asked to be seated at a table. They said they don't sit parties of 1 at tables, only at bar. Telling them you have a disability is irrelevant to them... they do not care. Sat me at very end of bar so a portion of my area was used for the bottles of wine in the ice bucket... but the whole bar was open. I had an appetizer, entre, dessert, espresso, and bottle of wine. I was there to enjoy myself... as they came highly recommended. The bartender was awesome. Mushroom appetizer was incredible. The onions were undercooked and crunchy in the pasta sauce (Amatriciana) so it overpowered the dish a bit. Tiramisu and espresso were delicious. When I left, there were (3) tables that were never used. They could have accommodated my ADA request, but no. They have a BS policy about not sitting single

We went there for last night and it was great! I would say the pace is little fast than other restaurants and we liked the foods parking was kind of hard to find bc it was busy night, It was kind of loud in there that you can even hear the music that they’re playing I would get High Top chairs next time when I come back to just experience it but our server was very nice and giving us recommendations and we got free tiramisu as a treat!

Delicious! Italian deliciousness! We had dinner and drinks at the bar. Good service, good food. Ambiance but could be a little more. Very noisy, hollow sounding, my only Complaint. (Industrial, brick. Fits with the area a whole, but doesn’t make for cozy feel) We felt Portions NOT shareable. We shared and I only got 2 bites of main dish. Would order my own next time. Had a beet salad-delish, and Tajarin was excellent! BREAD IS DELICIOUS-but have to ask for it. Not served otherwise. In a walkable area from our hotel. Felt safe at 9-10:00. Would go back again. Delicious!!
