For the starter we had the Sardines. They were so delicious. Simply seasoned and cooked. For the main we had the prawn linguine with chilli and the mushroom risotto. Again, both dishes were delicious. A point to note - because the linguine has chilli in it; it might be a bit spicy for some - but it was just right for me. Reasonably priced. I would go back again.

The staff and food at Cucciolo are great. There is a warm atmosphere emitted from the staff. The garlic bread con mozzarella was really tasty and well balanced. I had the penne Arabiatta which although simple was full of flavour and was a decent size. I will return for sure.

My wife And I had two courses. There was a bit of a wait.....about 30 minutes between them which made us a little edgy that they had forgotten the second course. However all was well and it eventually. Turned up. Our main courses were veal and the house giant prawn pasta dishes. Both were excellent. Overall a good meal with good service.

We had a lovely pre theatre lunch at this beautifully traditional Italian trattoria. My Scaloppa Miilinese was perfectly served and my companion's linguine was, I am told, delicious. Our 5 year old's Marherita pizza was gobbled up and the service and ambience was quiet unobtrusive and family friendly. Prices were par for the area but good value. Very highly reccomended. I'll definitely return.

Good food in a traditional family run italian. Had 2 kids with us and well catered for. Good wine at reasonable price. Good informal, traditional, non-chain italian.

Great family run restaurant with hearty food and friendly service. We were there for a pre-theatre meal and received excellent attention without being hurried - the staff even sang Happy Birthday to my daughter.

Fantastic Italian food in an authentic atmosphere. Staff friendly and actually want to be at work ! Book to avoid waiting as the restaurant is smallish and popular.

Pre theatre dinner and I'm suspicious of long menus that the kitchen cannot possibly sustain. However, all our choices were delicious and the service was friendly and efficient.

Very nice, courteous and above all excellent food. We were, unfortunately, sat near the door which they keep open even on inclement nights but it didn't spoil our night out.

Tasty authentic Italian food. Good wine. The service was friendly but a little inattentive. We had to ask for the waiter several times. However it was busy pre theatre service. I’d certainly return.

One of the best Italian meals that I have ever had and I dine in quite a few. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was really good too. A gem of a place and I believed it is a family ran business. Its a must visit.

A really lovely family run restaurant. We went there for a pre-theatre supper. The food was delicious and the service prompt, but not too prompt. We'll definitely go again next time we're seeing a show nearby

Lovely restaurant with courteous staff, nice décor and pleasant atmosphere. The food is fantastic with an authentic Italian flavour. I had the arrabiata pasta which was wonderful, good chilli kick but not too much, and a sensible portion of pasta.

The service was great and fast. The lovely food was tasty and came in large enough but not huge, perfect size pasta. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxing. Quite stereotypical family run Italian restaurant. We felt at home there.

Good quality and wholesome Italian food made with fresh ingredients. Had a three course meal for a great value priced or a pre theatre dinner as the restaurant is minutes away from the Prince Edward Theatre. Book early so as not to be disappointed.

Afraid to say very poor food. Would not return. Tasteless pizza...hardly any topping. Dry chicken/ heavy handed with the salt. The service was good but seriously overpriced for low quality food.

Excellent food and service. Considering it is only small and obviously very busy between and after shows, they manage to deliver superb home made food. We will certainly visit again.

Food was ok, but the restaurant was NOT wheelchair accessible as I had previously asked and had been told it was. Also 1 particular female member of staff was very rude!!
