    Really nice dinner - tried a new spot based on great reviews and happy to add another positive experience. Three of us on a Sunday evening - everyone was happy and it was a lovely time.

    Always great service, delicious food, and fun atmosphere! Love the butter chicken. Spicy vodka rigatoni always perfect. It’s like getting a home cooked meal at a friends house who happens to be a great chef!

    Our first visit for a business dinner and we were delighted with the variety of options for our table. From meat eaters to vegetarians it is hard to find a restaurant to accommodate a varied group. Thank you- we will add you to our list of “favorites.” ❤️

    The food at Cucciolo Osteria was so delicious. Better than most Italian restaurants we've tried in the area. Pricy. Smaller portions which was nice. Great service too.

    We had a lovely experience at the bar there. The bartender was spectacular and the food was tasty and equally delicious. We had an excellent birthday celebration and finished it off with drinks and tiramisu! Quite lovely for all! Will definitely be back for seconds!
