I NEVER write google reviews, but this place was so good I HAD to write one. We went on a whim to try something new and it was 10000/10. Food was fresh and delicious, our bartender was AMAZING, and the atmosphere is gorgeous. I left feeling like a happy stuffed pig. Will 10000% be back.

I had a great experience dining at this southern Italian restaurant CuGino. Everything we ate was delicious and service was very attractive. I look forward to my next meal here so I can try other menu favorites. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

I had the pleasure of visiting this morning for my partner’s 34th birthday. Everything was delicious! Our server was attentive and the atmosphere was nice as well. Definitely will be back again!

We had the veal and the shrimp pasta. Both were delicious. Plating was beautiful. I tried an Italian lager that I really enjoyed. It doesn’t get more authentic than this place. Peak Italian/Sicilian Cuisine!

I visited CuGino this past Sunday afternoon with family, and even though we didn’t have a reservation, the experience turned out to be incredible from start to finish.
When we arrived, we were told there would be about an hour and a half wait, so we grabbed some coffee nearby and returned later. Even then, the owners, Gene and Hunter, went above and beyond to make us feel valued. Gene checked on us several times personally, apologizing for the delay and explaining that they were working through reservations first. Eventually, they offered us a table and even treated us to an appetizer on the house for our patience.
We were first seated outside, but when an indoor table became available, Gene insisted we move inside to make our experience even better — that level of hospitality really stood out. Our server Amber was phenomenal: attentive, friendly, and professional. The entire atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of life.
The food itself was absolutely amazing. I had the pork cheeks with polenta, and it was beyond delicious — one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Every plate at our table was top-notch.
From the food to the service to the genuine kindness of the owners, CuGino has definitely earned our highest recommendation. We’ll absolutely be back!

I was really disappointed with our experience at Cugino’s.
The burrata and beets salad was fabulous and easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, everything else fell short. The veal piccata with linguine was just okay — the veal was overly breaded and dry, and there wasn’t nearly enough sauce. The cacio e pepe was mediocre at best and lacked the richness and balance you’d expect.
To make matters worse, we ordered a very nice bottle of wine and were never given wine glasses. I asked twice, waited over 10 minutes, and eventually had to take glasses from another table myself.
Additionally, we were incorrectly charged sales tax on a credit card surcharge. Sales tax should only apply to food and beverages, not to a payment processing fee.
Between the underwhelming food and the poor service, this was not a good experience. I won’t be returning.

Worth the wait!!! Took us a week or so to get a reservation and the food is absolutely amazing. These people are passionate about Italian food and their service is top notch. My wife and I started with the burrata salad and it was very well done. Do not be afraid of the beets it’s really an extremely appetizing combination. Well balanced dish with great flavor. For entree’s we had the pork cheek and the veal Norma and a side of broccolini. Two outstanding dishes! The pork is cooked perfectly and the ragu with the polenta is a wonderful combination. As for the veal it was cooked perfectly and the sauce served with it with the eggplant in it is rich and hearty. Both very satisfying dishes. They have a nice wine list and great cocktails from the bar. If you haven’t gone you should … this place is an absolute hit. We are fortunate to have rustic yet refined Italian like this in Lafayette. Gene and Hunter have created something very special.
