I love the atmosphere here and the owner and staff are so nice! Food and wine excellent! Fabulous brick oven pizza! Their tiramisu is perfection! *I just wish they would upgrade their bread and serve a garlic/spice infused olive oil. That is the only thing lacking and keeps me from coming more often and regularly.Parking: Free after 6 pm and sundays

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere but the food and service were just average. Wine is an important part of dining out for my friends and I and the wine glasses were probably the worst I’ve ever drank wine from. They definitely need to upgrade their wine glasses!

Wonderful food, service and location. Everything about this restaurant is just wonderful. Best part was it made Valentines date super special, no line, no set menus and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

Sometimes food is over salted. Thstvbeing said, the salads, pastas, and entrees are extremely delicious and cooked. They make a fabulous Martini. I wish they left their Christmas lights up. They were so festive and Italian. Love eating there.

Quaint Italian restaurant on Solano Ave. we were seated quickly but the the remainder of the service was a bit slow and it was not that busy on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was a bit noisy, so not a great place for conversation. The food was good, nice size portions. They brought fresh bread with balsamic and olive oil. I would for sure come back
The food was mediocre, the service - unwelcoming and unaware. There were two cooks standing en garde in front of the woodfire oven with nothing to do but stare out at the few unserved tables. A busser wandered around picking up on tables with no one sitting at them. Our waiter casually asked after 15 awkward minutes if anyone talked to us when we said no he simply asked if we were ready to order. I ordered an antipasto plate and it came out five minutes later with jarred pickled gardiniere, a pile of peperoncinis, sliced cheese, sliced prosciutto and salami. Our mains, spaghetti bolognese and seafood penne. The pasta bolognese was overcooked but the sauce had decent flavor. The penne seafood pasta looked like soup, the sauce was watery and it was more like fishing for food in the sauce. The restaurant has the ability to be a decent neighborhood spot in a high traffic area if there was some thoughtful management of the food and service.

The best Italian restaurant on Solano ave! Everything on the menu is so good. I recommend it. They have good cocktails and also really good wine. It's fun place. I've never bad experience here. It's fun place to go on date night or a group. Everyone who works there very friendly. The food is always so yummy and fresh. I'm always so happy when I go.

Dined at Cugini Restaurant with my family for dinner. The ambience was delightful, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, the service was a bit slow; it took a while for them to take our order. The food, while okay, didn't quite justify the higher price point. Overall, a nice setting, but the combination of service delays and relatively high prices left room for improvement in the dining experience.
