Brandon was absolutely delightful: kind, helpful, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was extraordinary. I highly recommend the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the steak sandwich, and the French toast. The restaurant itself is very clean and inviting, with a great atmosphere and plenty of outdoor seating as well. We'll definitely be back soon with a group. 10/10 -- highly recommend!

From the moment we entered the restaurant, the pastry display, soothing atmosphere, and kind servers set the tone for a relaxing, luxurious evening. Our server Gia came right to our table and remembered my parents from a previous visit, which always feels good. She quickly got us started with a salami board, a bottle of (amazing!) wine, and a complimentary bread basket, which we absolutely devoured. When it came time to order entrees, Gia also helped a few members of our party make the ever-difficult decision - a primi or second entree?? Regardless of our choice, everyone was delighted by their meal. The food had clearly been freshly prepared and was fantastic from appearance to taste. I highly recommend the walnut pesto, to which I added chicken. Portions were generous but not overwhelming, and Gia continued to check in to see if we needed anything. Make sure to ask about the specials - my dad absolutely loved his. Finally, dessert! As a large party, we got several desserts to split: the apple tart, the devil's food cake, a Nutella panna cotta, and chocolate gelato. Even though we were stuffed from dinner, dessert was worth every bite. I wanted to try more but simply had no more room. In summary, I can't recommend Cucciolo Famiglia highly enough to families looking for a special meal, couples seeking a romantic date night, friends looking for an intimate catch-up, or, as we saw on our trip, prom groups! Prices are very reasonable for quality, the menu offers something for everyone, and outdoor seating lets families with young children watch as their kids play in a nearby grassy field. Do make a reservation, though, as seating can be limited, and you don't want to miss this!

The food looked as good as it tasted. The pastry was fresh, warm, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. It paired perfectly with the wine. The wine list was wonderful. There were plenty of options, and it felt well chosen, not overwhelming. The rosé we had was crisp and light, which worked great for lunch. Service stayed attentive without rushing anything. Overall, this spot works well for a laid back but elevated girls lunch.

On a random Tuesday out of office, I decided to stop by and have a solo lunch date. Make sure to read the El Jefe Loco Taco Review at the bottom It's a pretty large contemporary looking space, and I decided to sit at the bar so that I was in close proximity to the bartender. There are two types of menus; one where you can build your own tacos or bowls, and the other that has an already curated menu. I was hungry so I took the lazy route. I ordered the El jefe Loco and the La Tierra. While waiting for my food to come out, I did get some chips and salsa and ordered the margarita flight with the passionfruit, mango, and pineapple flavors. For the rim, I was able to select a ginger, cayenne, and I forgot the last flavor. But it's pretty cool that you could select different flavor rims too. The La Tierra taco has a portobello mushroom and pan steak, which was pretty good. Now the El jefe Loco caught me off guard. I took a bite of that taco and began chewing. And they got the loco part right. I nearly lost my mind at the flavors. I couldn't eat that taco fast enough. I didn't want to waste any part of it. Every piece of meat, particles and juice that remained, I scooped up with the chips I had from my chips and dip. I don't know made the chef decide to put this flavorful, addictive concoction together, but this was easily the best taco that I've eaten all year and my taste buds were so happy about that decision. I've eaten a lot of tacos from a lot of different places. Unfortunately, I haven't reviewed all of them, but I REFUSE to pass up this review. So I will be returning, and this time I know better than to get just one of those. But I know I need to try the other tacos on the menu too.

Worth the Try! Went in on a Friday night around 10pm…read moretotally expecting a wait but to my surprise it was slow. The bartender explained the "Char-Grill" ordering concept where you check-off what you want. There's a fixed menu and a build your own taco menu. Complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered La Tierra and El Jefe Loco tacos from the fixed menu. Both tacos were soft and hard shells (double tortillas), it ended up being a mouth full as the toppings are loaded in as well. The flavors were awesome, the caramelized onions and cilantro-lime sauce elevated the steak. I wish the steak would have been cut smaller. El Jefe Taco was my favorite of the two, the chorizo, chicken, corn and honey chipotle bbq all paired together nicely. I also had the build your own margarita flight, tons of flavors and salt rim options. For flavors I had the lychee, passionfruit and blackberry. One had a hibiscus-salt rim and the other two had ginger-sugar. Ginger-sugar was my favorite! Super friendly staff, food came out quickly, fresh and hot. I'll be back for the build my own tacos next!

The service is always great because they are so kind and friendly. I've dined in and ordered out and it's always a consistent experience. The dine-in experience reminds me of places in Jersey with the booths and wood grain, and it's pretty cool. The music selection also helps My favorite dishes are definitely the musubi and can't go wrong with any of the fried rice dishes. But I'm making my way across the menu and can't wait to try everything!

Definitely a lot of food for the price, and even just half felt very filling. The spam musubi was a bit pricey, but it might just be because the portions are larger than usual. Overall, a good spot if you're looking for generous portions and a relaxed, clean place to eat. I'd come back if I was craving a hearty meal.

We haven't tried many restaurants in Apex so I had to heard of Serafina Ristorante. The cocktails were just divine. I started with the No. 152, which has gin, strawberry-basil, lemon, and vermouth. What a lovely and delicate combination. My husband got the No. 198, which has mezcal. It would be difficult to choose a favorite. I'm also not a fan of ice so I'd recommend skipping the ice, which I did for the next drink. Later we got the No. 043 that has lavender, honey, lemon, and white grape. I think this was my least favorite. For dinner, I went with the restaurant week pear and fig salad and rigatoni bolognese. My only complaint was that the salad was a little salty for my taste. Otherwise, everything was delicious and fresh. My husband opted for the roasted chicken, which was the star of the show. This chicken elevated the whole meal. It was roasted perfectly and had so many wonderful flavors like fig and apples. I was jealous of his meal, but he let me have a few bites. My only complaint is that it was small. For dessert I had the panna cotta and my husband had the cannolis. Again, I was jealous of his, but I helped him eat them. The chocolate cannoli was the best. The panna cotta was also nice, light, and fresh. The restaurant and bar itself was pretty inside with nice decor and a warm vibe. We had a great experience for my Birthday dinner and I'd definitely visit again!
