Outstanding service and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent food-butter chicken and all pastas are amazing

Food is delicious. The giant meatball was scrumptious as was the bruschetta. Entrees were yummy as well.

Always have the best service. White ragu is delicious!

I love this place. It's the best Italian food in the triangle. I've never had a bad meal here. Also, the wine selection is phenomenal. 10/10 every time. Highly recommend.

I never leave reviews but the food here was absolutely terrific. I live in a major food city (I was just visiting Durham for the night) but this place truly amazed me! Service and recommendations were impeccable as well. Such a lovely experience.

My wife and I came here with high expectations as we’d read in multiple places how great it was and how they make their own pasta. The service was great, but the food was really nothing special. Only two of their pastas are actually made at the restaurant, so we ordered dishes with those. The white ragu was extremely salty and didn’t seem made with love. My wife did enjoy the alfredo dish she got, but nothing blew us away. Very middling and quite expensive.

The food -and cocktails -were delicious and are server was really nice and attentive. The appetizer and entrees were timed well and came out quickly, but not rushed. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed our meal.

Wonderful pre-set 4 course Christmas Eve dinner with great options to choose from at a very reasonable price and nice sized portions! Service was excellent! Would definitely love to make it a new holiday tradition.

Everything is so good. The meatball app is one of my favorites!

Limited experience but definitely planning to go back for a proper meal.

My friend wanted to Tiramisu for his bday desert so we made our way over for dessert only. I ordered a Panna cotta....you need to try this. It was the best Panna cotta I have ever had. It was unanimous among our table. (We were a fairly well traveled bunch)

Service was wonderful. Very friendly, quick and attentive.

I came here for a first date and was blown away by how amazing everything was. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and perfect for good conversation. My date ordered me the seafood linguine, and it was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Truly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a long time.

Service was excellent as well: attentive, friendly, and never intrusive.
Cucciolo Osteria made the night feel special, and I’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!
