Cucciolo Terrazza

We enjoyed our first trip here! Delicious, well executed cocktails to start, followed by great food. Too many yummy sounding things to try, we look forward to checking them out on a return visit.

Very good Italian Osteria style restaurant. Superb wine list and service was impeccable. Andrew and his team are doing a great job.

Each dish was delicious, the server was very prompt and friendly, and the restaurant had a good atmosphere.

I came in for my birthday on 1/22 with a reservation at 6:30PM. The host was very strange, they did nothing wrong but made the initial interaction uncomfortable and very awkward. This set the tone for a very mediocre dining experience. When we entered the restaurant it was dead silent, you could hear a pin drop. There was no music for about 30 mins from when we arrived. The bread was very stodgy and compact/dense, I would give the bread 2/10. I thought the arancini was good but my wife was underwhelmed, I'd give it a 6.5/10 as I was pleased with it. The Caesar salad did not taste fresh, the greens were not crisp and were quite limp - 3/10. The pasta was great, it was hot, tasted fresh, and what I was expecting - 9/10. The zeppole were not very good, the artificial strawberry flavor was quite overwhelming; I ate them because we paid for them, but my wife couldn't get past the first bite - 3/10. I was here for my birthday and it was never mentioned past the host asking to confirm it was my birthday. Near the end of our dinner a dessert with a candle was brought out from the kitchen and given to the table next to me where they sang happy birthday...it was quite comical as nothing was said to us at all. Overall it was a pretty poor experience for the price and I was expecting a lot more from Cucciolo. It's unfortunate as I was recommended to come here by two friends, but I do not see myself recommending this restaurant to anyone or returning in the future.

Amazing Christmas Eve dinner. The portions were generous. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The service was excellent! Favorites- short rib ragu, mushroom risotto, and cannoli!

Excellent food quality and service. Please stock blue cheese olives for dirty tini’s bc that’s a dealbreaker!!

Had a lovely dinner with my daughter — food was delicious and cocktails especially well crafted. Try the pumpkin arancini to start.

Very delicious food across the menu, authentic ingredients all served promptly with a smile. We all felt very welcome.

Loved the ambiance of this place! Great service too!

Food: homemade pasta was good Service: OK. Server did not bring out Bordeaux wine glasses with red wine nor a decanter for the wine. For price of restaurant and type of restaurant this knowledge by servers should be taught Cake fee: $25 to bring your own cake for celebration. For price of this restaurant this type of service should be included. Portions: Some pasta dishes are larger than others. Butter chicken meal was two smaller sized chicken breast with a bowl of arugula. Overall: Go for homemade pasta. Otherwise, there are better restaurants with better service and meal options and no weird fees.

Outstanding Italian wine list, everything from the Dolomites to Sicily. Dishes were spot-on in portion and flavor, beautifully plated, and perfect for a team dinner. Great atmosphere. I'd go back without hesitation.

One of the best spots in Raleigh i first noticed it on my way home from my work at tigon golf carts. Did not disappoint. Great food great staff.

My wife and I, along with some close friends, decided to give this restaurant a try. The ambiance was inviting, and based on the reviews we had read, I had high expectations that the food would match the setting. Unfortunately, while the food was good, it wasn’t exceptional — which is what you’d expect for the price point.

The Boar’s Ravioli was easily the standout dish of the night. However, the mushroom risotto was too thick and lacked the creamy texture it should have had. I added shrimp to my dish, but they were small and underseasoned, missing that rich flavor I was hoping for. My wife’s chicken was served piping hot, while my meal arrived lukewarm.

The service was fine but not impressive. Despite the restaurant not being busy, our drinks and food took longer than expected to arrive. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I expected much more.
