    Panna cotta

    First time trying Cucciolo and it was enjoyable. The inside was clean and they were very kind to get us sat without a reservation for a Friday night. Its a bit small inside but they do well with their space. The lighting I found a little bright for a romantic evening but that's not really important. The service was extremely attentive. The food was delicious and pretty prompt on timing. I suppose my only complaint and reason for docking one star is that some of the portion sizes are a little small for the pricing of the dish. Other than that, no real complaints.

    Bright and open and airy inside, with a large eating area outside. We had a reservation for six for a table inside that was set up as a table outside. They were able to change the reservation , and then we noticed that there was a round table with eight seats, and we were explicitly told that there were no round tables. Whatever. So, we ordered drinks while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, (why is a martini listed as a shot and a "martini" $3 up charge? Isn't a martini just a standard drink?) They brought out some bread and olive oil for us. There were eight pieces of bread (four for each quarter cup of oil on a plate) for the entire table. Why so stingy? They were generous with the oil, but didn't give enough bread to sop it all up. What a waste. We got our entrees, and they were ok, but not anything to write home about. I got the fried calamari appetizer and the shrimp Alfredo, and it was OK, but not anything to write home about. There are a lot of other Italian restaurants in the area that deliver amazing experiences, but this was not one. We had a fun evening, but the food and drink was not the reason.

    We ate here on their first night open. Everything was amazing. Our server, Brandon, was on top of everything. Honestly everyone in the restaurant was, we never had empty drinks. The bread they give is delicious. The food was so good too. The calamari was perfectly crisp and the chicken marsala was so good with the polenta. My kids loved the spaghetti Alfredo. My husband loved the meatballs but felt the tomato sauce was just a little spicy for him. It's beautiful inside, clean and just beautifully decorated. We can't wait to go back!

I came at 5:45 on a Monday (because no other places are open on Mondays!), and was one of maybe four me. In the place. The rest were moms with one or two (or more!) kids, some waiting for dad to join them after work. I ate in a covered patio that in a few months will be too hot to endure. But tonight, mid-March, it's a sunny delight. I ordered a smashburger and a Kingstown Negroni. Drae stirred my drink and out the order in, and it arrived with fries just minutes later. Juicy double patty burger, caramelized onions, cheese, salt & pepper fries. Fresh and very tasty. WiFi was fast, music was smooth but subdued. (Think Sade and Barry White dueling. Wish I wasn't alone!) Kids were everywhere, but very well-behaved and in explore mode, which I find adorable! There are outside areas covered in open or tarps, clear flexi-glass walled off areas, and true "indoor" places you can watch TV in. Everything from Top Gear to REN & Stimpy. A great way to spend an early dinner/very late lunch.

It's kind of a bug and feature. They have the order from your table QR code set up where you can get drinks and food served to you either inside or out. The service is always quick and prompt. This place is great on a nice day. It's not somewhere I would typically seek out myself unless with friends (with kids) or hosting a small party (where there might be friends (with kids) attending.

The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and feels like a trendy spot in Mexico. They have a DJ playing music during brunch time. We were initially concerned it would be too loud and hard to talk over, but it was actually the perfect volume and only enhanced our experience. Food was excellent! We got a breakfast sandwich, loaded tater tots, and poke. All were very fresh and well made - especially the fish dish!

I explained and showed her that I booked standard seating and she said that meant outside, which I thought was strange because I was very careful not to book either option that was clearly labeled outdoor. I told her that we wanted a table inside and she said "I have a table that has a reservation for 11:30, can you be done by then?" I laughed and said "sure" but thought to myself that would be up to them! She asked another hostess to seat us, and after we were seated, we waited about 15 minutes and watched staff walk by our table multiple times and no one came by. The original interactions had already put a bad taste in my mouth, so I called another restaurant downtown and asked how long the wait would be for two. They could seat us in the bar area right away, so we got up and left Aaktun to head there. The first two experiences that I had at Aaktun were great. I'm glad I got to try their food because I won't be back after Sunday's experience.

Both the cheeseburger and cubano came with hefty servings of French fries fresh out of the fryer. Despite being a little salt heavy, they were flavorful and complimented the sandwiches well.

The fried artichoke salad is where I feel like I found my peace. The olives, tomatoes, salad dressing, and all other salad components were awesome. It tasted fresh and the ingredients complimented each other. The fried artichokes were a nice crunch too! I would be back to the Federal for the hot food and good vibes.

I finally got to sit down and rest while I enjoyed the game. Great food and even better service!

Not that great and the fries were more fried than potato. Maybe 2/5. I got a greek salad with chicken and it was oddly sweet? Like really sweet and the feta is a strange texture (i love feta this one tastes different almost like the vegan cheeses). Also, $24 for a greek salad with chicken...? Little too much. Chicken was good but not a great salad. Service was super quick, in and out in less than an hour and we take our time eating. Overall, wouldn't come back for food but would totally come back for the cake!!
