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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I enjoyed my dinner at Cucciolo Terrazza. I went alone to celebrate my birthday and the service was very pleasant and informative. My server was very attentive and explained the dishes to me with recommendations very well. The atmosphere was very nice as well! read more

Ambience/Vibes : 4 Food : 3.5/5 Value : 3/5 I went here with a few friends and the interior is pretty. It gives off modern vibes and is great for a date night. I loved the summer ravioli, but there was a strange inedible hard thing I found inside of it and it did need a bit more vegetables. But the ravioli was made beautifully. As far as value, I will say that it was on the pricier side, for what it was. Overall, not a bad place, but it's a spot you would go to just for the vibes and a glass of wine. read more

My husband and I have tried this place a couple of times and we think it is a pretty good and original option. My favorite is the Spicy Vodka pasta and I like to add Shrimp to it. My husband's favorite is the wild boar agnolotti. Good wine selection but for me the star of the show is their wonderful tiramisu! I didn't take a picture. It was so good for me to stop. I can come back just for that ! read more

This was our first time here and we enjoyed it very much! The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all top notch! I didn't see a drink on the menu that I liked and the bartender made recommendations as well as concocted something super yummy for me! I ordered the wild boar pasta which was incredible. The sausage pizzette had so many good flavors. Can't wait to come back! read more
I went to Cucciolo Terraza with friends and family for a birthday celebration. We had a reservation for 8 people. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table (Cabernet) which was excellent if your a red wine fan. Also my husband had to me of the best old fashions he has ever had. We started off with the braised octupus (pictured) and carne cruda (pictured). These were both phenomenal everyone loved them. I ordered the amazing saffron vongole (pictured) it was so fragrant and the pasta was so fresh. Other things that were ordered. People also ordered the elk bolognese (pictured) and for dessert the tiramisu! I also ordered an espresso martini (pictured) which I can't remember the name of but it was delicious. read more

One of my favorite places to go when we're looking for something a little more upscale! The ambiance is outstanding - love the decor inside! The pasta dishes are TO DIE FOR! I will share my experience on two separate occasions: The first time we went in February was probably the best dining experience I have ever had. We ordered the wild boar ravioli and it was fabulous! Everybody was so kind and the food feels straight out of Italy. We went again for my birthday last week and it was really clear they were pretty short staffed. We had the hostess and bartender as our waiters (which was really weird because they were not in communication with each other). The experience was definitely different than the first time. My entree came out a solid 15 minutes before my boyfriends and then it got cold by the time his came out. We didn't make a stink about it because we could tell the staff was stressed and the rest of the food was fantastic! Would still highly recommend, just maybe don't go on a Friday night/weekend. :) read more

Very good experience! The food... Njara pizza is the best thing we had. MUST order it. Smaller than we expected but was actually perfect for 2 to share. Great wine selection, but we are wine people and didn't recognize much on the menu. Ask server for recommendation. My biggest complaint, and reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is that they completely changed 90% of the menu recently, so everything we wanted to order wasn't an option. We were only able to find 1 item in the yelp photos that was still on the menu. Restaurants should understand you should NEVER change out more than 20% of your menu items out for seasonal items. We tried the Shrimp & Pork Belly Tagliatelle and Lobster Bucatini. Both were really good, but there are other things we would have liked to order. The ambiance. Really great vibe and nice decor. My only complaint is that it's extremely loud in here because the building echos. Just know this is not the place for a business meeting or a quiet romantic evening like you may be used to with other Italian restaurants. Service was great! Can't remember her name but she did a phenomenal job. Expect slower service because they are short staffed, but it's not a problem! read more

Yes it is that time again, The Shogun has heard of a new Italian restaurant in North Hills that opened recently named Cucciolo Terrazza. Upon entering the Shogun sees that the restaurant has a very energetic vibe and modernity to it, we reserved a spot at the bar and are taken to our seat after entering. We are greeted with kindness and asked if we prefer tap or bottled water, we scan the menu as we order a classic Italian beverage a Aperol Spritz, Toyotomi watches the drink being made by our bartender as she pours in the three parts Prosecco and then the two parts Aperol and then a splash of soda, Perfection!! We decide upon a meal fit for the Shogun, a Pizzette made with Nduja, then a primi course of Agnello Con Le Olive, then a dessert of lemon meringue and custard inside a white chocolate shell. As we wait for the Pizzette we peek into the wine room where you can sit and eat for a private dinner or a event, They also have a Private Dining Room which looks like it can seat a large number of guests in a beautiful room with a long table. But back to what we are all here for Foodzzzz. The Shoguns Pizzette arrives and looks pleasing on the eye as well as in the mouth. Toyotomi's taste buds have begun a war with the Pizzette and the Nduja on top is to die for, many quick bites are had as if it was the last Pizzette on earth.... A magnificent battle of Italian flavors was quickly fought in the mouth of the Shogun, highly recommended this dish will be. Toyotomi was so pleased with this Pizzette that he thinks it would be hard for the main course to top what he has already devoured, as he sits thinking about what the next battle will be like, it arrives with a demanding presence, you can smell the aromatics and see the heartiness of the dish. The lamb is so tender you need no katana to cut it, the nice pop of the olives gives you the texture that compliment's the lamb and the ricotta gnudi. Toyotomi attacks with the speed of a Bajutsu descending upon the battle in the bowl with all his taste bud warriors, victory is claimed as the last bite goes down, a tear is shed that it is over but there is a dessert to go after now, A lemon appears before us on the plate he glances at it up and down, we are seeing a lemon atop some sort of cookie crumb or cake crumbs perhaps. This trick has throw the Shogun a curve ball, what trickery is this. As Toyotomi approaches with the quick dlash of the katana the lemon opens up and reveals the meringue and custard inside, the lemon was actually a white chocolate shell painted yellow to look like a actual lemon. Toyotomi attacks with quick fork hits that the lemon was not prepared for. This dessert is not only pretty to look at but scrimdidlyuptious, if that's not a word it is now. A perfect meal with three courses that leaves you full and pleased. Toyotomi is proud to Announce that Cucciolo Terrazza will receive the highest mark of Five out of Five Katanas, on the imperial katana scale. A perfect score, Toyotomi the Shogun of Snaxx will be back for sure, do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

We loved our visit to Cucciolo Terrazza! We ordered the creamed mushrooms, caesar salad, spicy vodka rigatoni and the shrimp and crab agnolotti. The pasta dishes were perfectly sized and delicious, as well as the creamed mushrooms. The caesar salad was yummy but nothing unique. Next time I would pick something else as an appetizer. We had two cappuccinos to end the dinner which were well made! My only feedback to make the meal even better would be to dim the lights. It felt incredibly bright for a dinner. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came to eat dinner for my birthday and had a great time! The food was delicious. It was a bit hard to get the attention of the staff for ordering food and drinks or getting the check, but they were very friendly. The restaurant was a fancy, cool looking place. Would come here again! read more

It was great all around! Each dish was cooked perfectly and tasted really great, even the starter bread lol. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was remarkable as well, it was raining quite heavily outside but we couldn't hear it at all. Everything is very open and clean. I think those who have complained about the environment have a misconception about what to expect, it is not a dark and private type of dining setting so don't come in expecting that. read more

Totally enjoyed this new restaurant in Raleigh! The urban vibe and sophisticated design, stunning lighting, and huge, beautiful bar. The food was outstanding: we had a variety of dishes and I enjoyed the seafood stew. Hands down for the Lemon dessert creativity! The place was buzzing! We peaked into the private dining room - it looks like a cool place for a private event. As a new place, I believe they are working hard to get service streamlined. We will be back with friends soon. read more

Usually I have complaints about Italian establishments in Raleigh but Cucciolo Terrazza was incredible. Service, ambiance, natural lighting, and the food quality were all phenomenal. What I enjoyed most was how the chef added in his modernist interpretation of Italian dishes. Portions were healthy and the sauce to pasta ratio was immaculate. read more
