real good food, (mostly) not so professional servers, dated atmosphere...at this price point, servers in Nike sweatpants, faded jeans and old T shirts just doesn't fit...a few other things drag the rating down, but not going to bash the place. It'd be four stars at $30-40 a head, but no more than three at more than $50 per person.

The food is phenomenal! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. I am a big fan of the "bring food as it's ready" model, we shared everything and were thrilled with the freshness, taste, and temperature. The menu is super accommodating for gluten free diners.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options

I’ve spent time in actual Italy. This tops some of the most authentic dinners over had. Wine. To die for. Food. Perfectly portioned. Owner/ servers. Personable, friendly, attentive. Best date I’ve had out with my fiancé since our son was born, and he was WITH us. Somebody give these guys a damn Michelin star. The food is THAT good. ANDwe spent half what you expect to at a fancy upscale authentic Italian Trattoria. Thank you for sharing your passion with us through food!

Gocciolina has always had the best food. The service may have been a bit slow, for whatever reason, in the past, but we discovered differently last night. Our server, Allison, was the absolute and made our family celebration that much sweeter. We, of course, had reservations. Especially following a Duke basketball game. Thank you, Gocciolina and Allison!
Thouroughly enjoyed my meal...I had the pork chop and the pasta carbanara.... oh and the claws... followed by sorbet! Everything was great and the bartender was super cool.

Our first time visiting this small, quaint restaurant and wow! It was top notch with great service and even better food! Wait staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu and wines. Daily specials were diverse and wonderful. We will definitely be back.

By far the best Italian food in Durham. Local ingredients, cooked fresh, rotating specials and menu, great wine selection, drink selection, vegetarian options available and they can accommodate it as well.
