Great option for three and four course traditional Italian meal with a date or group. Knowledgeable staff. Maggie was helpful with both the food and wine menu. Open air kitchen makes for an aromatic environment, tonight was brown butter sage.

Excellent experience for our first visit. Vodka sauce and bolognese were both well prepared and did not skimp on ingredients. We also had the butter chicken. That was well prepared and served in a small cast iron dish that kept chicken warm and gave it a little bit of crispness that was just a perfect touch to it. Great wine list. Very deep. Francisco was awesome as well. We will be back.

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.
