Review of Cucciolo Osteria Durham

I have celiac. I had a really good experience here. I attended a private dinner put on by my business. The menu was family style – shared plates around the table – which always makes me nervous. I discussed GF with the waiter before the food came to the table. Item by item, he was able to tell me what was safe and what was not. A couple dishes they had to prepare separately. Everything he said reflected good knowledge of safety and separate preparation. My impression is that it was safe and the chefs and waitstaff very capable. I tend not to react if I am exposed, but in any case I had no reaction. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was delicious.
