Cugini - Berkeley

While passing by, we decided to take a chance and stop for dinner, and we are so glad we did! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We can't wait to dine there again.

Dinner here is quite lively, and I absolutely love the chicken Alfredo—it's my favorite dish! The waiter did forget our salad, but it wasn't a huge deal. The food is deliciously rich and very satisfying.

Every thing was perfect! and I mean everything. Must be homemade bread for the appetizer with balsamic vinegar. The bread was out of this world! Warm, dense, soft, slightly moist, perfectly crisp crust! Our small caesar salad was simple and delicious. My friend's seafood penne was a perfectly sized portion with just the right amount of seafood, excellent. My pizza was some of the best I have ever had. Easy to eat. Crust done just right on a wood fired stove. We could smell just a little bit of wood smoke from our table. a very nice touch to an excellent ambiance. Beautiful and colorful artwork on burnt orange colored walls. Service was on time with everything. Friendly, attentive, quick. FIVE STARS! (PS if you miss Cesar's, this is the best thing going in the area.

I went out to dinner with my family and we ordered bruschetta, a green salad, manicotti, cugini pasta, grilled salmon, and spaghetti. Everything was delicious, and our plates were left spotless!

This food is not Italian. It’s like an american version of Italian food made in Mexico. Not trying to be racist but really the food quality is just horrible. The complimentary bread and butter tastes like a week old baguette cut in pieces dry and cold. When I requested a fresh basket, they microwaved it. Literally lol. To make things worse, we ordered a Sicilian pizza and they brought us a completely different pizza. They did fix the order after but we had to wait another 10 min. All in all, not a great experience.
