Pork chop
Kathy W.

Came in a Sunday - 5:30pm - only 3 table s were taken. Polpette meatball is pretty good but braised Octopus is really worth a try - flavorful and very soft texture. Butter chicken was very scrumptious though my son was not so hot about the arugula side. Eggplant parm was really good - the smoked mozzarella really made it luscious. We also tried pork chop and it was not bad should probably try the flank steak instead. I had chocolate cannoli- the cream was rich but not overly sweet - very nice. Tiramisu was also more flavor than sweet which is what we love. Waiter was very attentive and helpful in suggesting dishes. Overall - if I don't count the mishap on seating - it was a good experience.

Wild Boar Agnolotti Ravioli
Marilyn B.

We love this place. Local, great service, excellent food and ambiance. I had the wild boar agnolotti, my husband had the risotto and we shared a pear and Gorgonzola pizzette for a starter, which was truly delicious, and we had a side of broccolini, which was perfectly cooked with beautiful flavor. They've also got some nice vegetarian options and lovely wine options. Prices are reasonable, you can spend a lot or you can get out at a relatively modest cost for a fine dining restaurant. Very pleasant, relaxed place, a regular spot for us.

Arancini

My husband and I came here for our anniversary on a Monday night. I had a reservation, but it really wasn't that busy. We were seated right away, and our server was nice and attentive. We both got cocktails. I can't remember the name of mine. It was fine but not worth getting again. They give you bread with olive oil and vinegar, and it was good. We also got the arancini, which was delicious! They took a very long time with our entrees, and our server apologized for the wait. I wouldn't have minded having to wait so long, but when we did get them, my dish was not hot. I got the tagliatelle bolognese, and while the top was warm, as I kept eating it was cold. Meanwhile there was steam coming off my husband's dish. I have a feeling something went wrong and my dish was just sitting under a warming lamp. I might consider returning since the arancini was very good, and the bites I had of my husband's alfredo were delicious.

mushroom risotto + chicken
Megan W.

I came here for a friend's birthday party and this restaurant was so cute. It's such a great place to celebrate special occasions! Their portion sizes are very large. I definitely feel like I could've shared my meal with another person and it would've fed both of us. I got the mushroom risotto and added chicken to it. I think the up charge for the chicken is a little steep, but it was really delicious. I would definitely come back here to try some of their other pastas. our waiter was very attentive, and the decorations in the restaurant were nice parking in North Hills is actually not bad so overall experience was a 10/10

Really solid restaurant. Servers are friendly and funny and helpful with recommendations. Love that they offer silicone coloring place mats for kids. What a genius invention and game changer. I can't remember what day of the week it was when we went but it was pretty quiet and is classy and fancy but also kid friendly so you can come dressed casual. Pizza is delish. Bread is delish too. Tasty octopus that comes with potato salad. I wasn't a big fan of the fish but my husband who ordered it enjoyed it. I ordered the Diablo which is an excellent spaghetti dish especially if you enjoy spice. The shrimp were big and juicy. All in all a lovely experience and definitely recommend and we will for sure be returning!

Welcoming comfortable atmosphere, quality dishes, and efficient servers. I attended an educational dinner here and had a pleasant experience. The dishes were each presented well in a reasonable time frame. From the family style appetizers accompanied by a spicy mocktail to the catch of the day followed by the seasonal panna cotta. The only issue we encountered was the catch of the day wasn't accompanied by the sides it said it would. When we asked the waitress about the discrepancy, she denied that the dish was supposed to come with fennel and potatoes, despite us having the menus. Nonetheless, I greatly enjoyed the entree's rich, full flavor and seasoned halibut. Overall, a positive experience and I recommend this restaurant to others!

The staff and server were incredibly kind and helpful! Our only challenge was that many menu items contained alcohol, which limited our options since we don't consume it.

Cucciolo Terrazza, nestled on the ground level of the Advance Auto Parts Tower at 4200 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, delivered an unforgettable New Year's Eve dinner. From start to finish, the experience was impeccable. The Caesar Salad was a flavor-packed opener, with crisp gem lettuce, savory boquerones, and a delightful cured egg yolk touch. The herb-crusted halibut, accompanied by broccolini, fennel, and a zesty lemon caper sauce, was perfection on a plate. The bone-in pork chops stole the show with their charred tomato vinaigrette and crispy sage--hearty and elegant all at once. Dessert? Zeppole Con Crema Al. Think Italian donut holes paired with berry compote and salted bourbon caramel. Heaven. The staff made the evening shine. Brianna and Taylor's warmth and professionalism, along with Andrew's polished leadership, elevated the night. Cucciolo Terrazza is a must-visit gem. We'll be back soon!

I came here for dinner with 8:30pm reservations. We arrived a bit early and were promptly seated at our table. The service was good and attentive! Now, the food was delicious as well. We ordered the mushroom risotto and spicy vodka rigatoni. Both dishes came out quick and hot. This is definitely a cute date night spot or perfect for a girlfriend catch up. The drinks were good - not great which is why I knocked off a star. I'd definitely come back to try other dishes.

Tuscan Scramble
Kendall R.

Very tasty brunch. I had the Tuscan scramble and everything was seasoned wonderfully, great combination of flavors, and presented very well. The waiter was excellent. There was no one else in the restaurant though for the 1.5 hours we were there for brunch though, so I hope word gets out of the fabulous quality.

Marissa J.

The ambiance of this place is quite nice. It's definitely on the fancier side, and came here with my girlfriends. Staff was very nice, and our waitress was so sweet!! Only reason I'm not going to give it a full 5 stars was because I don't think the price is worth it. I got the vodka a la pasta, and yes it did taste okay, but they charged quite a bit more for wanting to add shrimp. Also the cocktails we got were okay. It wasn't anything delicious, but it did look pretty :) It is nice for an Italian place, so I do suggest checking it out, but it was just nothing over the top for the price I ended up paying.

I wanted some Italian food for Valentine's Day so I made reservations at Cucciolo Terrazza in North Hills. We showed up 30 minutes before our reservation and they were very accommodating, which was especially nice since we brought our 4 month old. They had a 4 course Valentine's Day menu, with 3-4 options for each course. We started out strong with appetizers and primi courses. The butternut squash arancini was nicely fried and crisp and the balsamic reduction added a nice acidity to the butternut squash stuffed inside. The shrimp caprese was a refreshing, lighter option and the shrimp were poached well. The lobster ravioli was by far my favorite dish - the lobster butter brodo was so rich and flavorful and the lobster was cooked well inside the ravioli. The ravioli didn't seem ravioli-shaped to me and the pasta itself was a little thick, but the dish was delicious nonetheless. The spicy vodka cream rigatoni was a delicious, large bowl of pasta - the dollop of house-made ricotta added a nice creaminess. The secondi and dessert options were a tad subpar compared to the first two courses. The herb crusted halibut was lacking salt and I wish I could have tasted more of the herbs. It also had some sort of sauce that had gelatinized, which isn't my favorite texture for a dish like this. The pork chop was the largest pork chop I have ever seen (not going to complain about that) and was seasoned and cooked very well. The tiramisu was pretty good - not the best tiramisu i've ever had - I appreciated how it wasn't overly sweet although some bites I wish had a tad more sweetness. The panna cotta was vanilla flavored with a chocolate bottom layer and was pretty good, nothing to write home about. Overall we had a lovely Valentine's dinner and the pasta dishes were definite stand-outs. The service was fairly good, though the timing between secondi and dessert courses was unexpectedly long, but no major complaints there. A lovely, spacious Italian restaurant in North Hills! 6.5/10 s APPETIZER *Butternut Squash Arancini: butternut squash, parmesan, arborio rice, Calabrian chili aioli *Shrimp Caprese: heirloom tomatoes, house vinaigrette, shrimp, basil, whipped mozzarella, saba, pesto PRIMI *Lobster Ravioli: garlic, parmesan, lobster butter brodo, fried sage, fennel pollen *Spicy Vodka Cream Rigatoni: vodka, plum tomatoes, house-made ricotta, basil, parmesan SECONDI *Herb Crusted Halibut *Pork Chop DESSERT *Tiramisu *Panna Cotta

Nice ambiance in a nice location but the overall experience was mediocre. I visited Cucciolo with a group of friends on a Saturday night. We had a reservation and the restaurant was not incredibly crowded-an average size crowd. Maybe 10-15 tables of 2-3 patrons and about 5 people at the bar. The waitress asked if we wanted sparkling or still water and if we'd be interested in bread and oil with seasonings. When they brought the bread out, we immediately noticed that we all had different types of breads-not sure if it was intentional but some were over cooked, some stale, some chewy, just super inconsistent. I found that the food was good and well seasoned. The portions were smaller but filling. I wish the ambiance was better and this would've definitely been a 5 star experience.

We came here for a birthday celebration and wasn't disappointed at all! I have seen this location,…read morebut never stopped until now. I will say, the parking isn't the best. We had to park across the street and it was paid parking - so that adds to your experience. We did a reservation - so it was simply walking up and checking in. We were immediately taken back to your table and service was prompt. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and what goodies we might like based on what we were looking for. Let me pause and give kudos to the ambiance of the restaurant. Walking in the courtyard with the water in the background, makes for a beautiful and relaxing start to the dining experience. Once inside, with all the tables, it still didn't feel overwhelming or cramp. The light was just right - not to dark and just right to set the mood. Very romantic. Now, for the food :) We decided on the following for the evening: Lasagna - Fresh pasta, beef and pork ragu, bechamel, reggiano, mozzarella Lamb Shank - Lamb, truffle mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables Ribeye - Cognac peppercorn cream sauce, truffle mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables Tagliere - Chef's selection of Italian meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables Tagliatelle - Bolognese: fresh pasta, beef and pork ragu, reggiano, parmigiano reggiano, San Marzano tomatoes A Caprese salad EVERYTHING was soooo good and tasty! The lamb was spoon tender, the ribeye was hearty and seasoned very well, the pasta dishes were so fresh and simply delicious. No one had a complaint for their dish at all. The veggies were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The meat and cheese board had the best pairing with the tender bread. WE will return soon!

We had a great eating experience overall at Mulino. There were 12 of us but because when we called…read morethey continually hung up the phone or the call would end (on a land line). We weren't able to make the reservation for 12 because it only goes up to 10 on OpenTable. We ended up having to make the reservation for 6 at one table and 6 at the other table. To tease us, they put the tables right across from each other and put a table of 2 right in between us. To make matters worse is that we were celebrating our wedding so it would've been nice to have us all together. The restaurant gave me and my husband champagne to try to comp this I suppose but would've been better if they could've seated us all together. We started with the crab cakes and arancini. The crab cakes were fine. The otter crust was crunchy and perfect. The arancini was stuffed with cheese, rice, and meat and it was delicious. They were also crunchy on the outside but so soft and good on the inside. I had the tagliatelle. The noodles were prepared perfectly. It was almost as if I was in Italy. Something I noticed in Italy was that the noodles were never cooked too softly. They were still more firm but edible and delicious and that's how they were prepared at this restaurant in Raleigh. The dish was excellent and very tasty. My husband had the medium rare Ribeye with peppercorn sauce over mashed potatoes with sautéed seasonal vegetables. This dish was prepared perfectly. The ribeye was delicious and mashed potatoes had a great consistency about it and seasoned well.

Walking into the restaurant it has a lively, upscale, and New York influenced vibe. When you enter the restaurant you'll check in with the host to be seated and then be shown to your table. Once seated we were greeted by our server Brittney who made sure the dining experience was excellent. It also happened to be her birthday, happy birthday once again Brittney!! For drinks I ordered the Long Island Iced tea (vodka, rum, tequila, gin, triple sec, sour mix, and a splash of cola) and my partner ordered the Appletini (vodka, sour apple pucker, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup). Both drinks were excellent and were nice and smooth. For our entree we split the Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti. We also ordered a side of spaghetti and it was the perfect amount of food for two people. The chicken parm was seasoned perfectly and may be one of the best I've ever tried. Overall this was a great experience and I look forward to our next trip to Anthony's La Piazza Prime. I'll have to try the Lobster Ravioli on this next trip with the vodka sauce.
