    This little hole in the wall was a slice of Italy. It had a very authentic feel and reminded me of places that I have eaten at when traveling in Italy. The polenta was delicious. The marinara was very salty. The lemon chicken and fish dish were wonderful. The salmon was done quite well but a bit too salty. The Brussels sprouts were yummy too but also slightly heavy on the salt. The cocktails were good but a little watered down- that's what I get for going with the house vodka. Our waitress was lovely and gave us great service. I liked the experience over all and will return. It was much nicer than so many of the others in the area.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a cute little restaurant, very few tables inside make sure you make a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone was very pleasant and the food and service was quick. We ordered calamari and bruschetta for appetizers. The bruschetta was excellent, we should have ordered more. The calamari was unique, I've never been served calamari that wasn't fried. The texture wasn't for me, but the garlic lemon sauce was tasty. I really liked my pork chops, the apricot sauce was a nice touch.

    What a fantastic local spot. My only complaint is that it took me this long to go! The bruchetta was delicious..as was my crab stuffed salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the flavors were spot on. Ended the meal with the pistachio cake ...light and airy..not too sweet and paired perfectly with a cappuccino. Highly recccomend reservations!

    I left a review a couple of years ago and just wanted to reinforce what I said then. Simply put, this place is wonderful. The food is outstanding. The service is great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere, is perfect if you're looking for a cozy, low key dining spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a small place, with what appear to be a number of regular customers, so make a reservation. I can't wait to go back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A very cute restaurant in downtown North Attleboro![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely small, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was absolutely delicious!

    I went to visit friends last weekend and we went to Cucina 38 which has become a favorite of theirs. This spot is a cute neighborhood restaurant filled with yummyness. The staff at first I felt was not that friendly but once we sat down they warmed up. The waitress was kind and attentive. I ordered a salad to start which was so good and the margarita pizza which was delicious. My friend got a fennel and sausage pasta which looked so good as well. My favorite part of this meal was the cannolis. OH EM GEE! These were the best I have ever had! I could have taken them home haha. I would recommend coming here for easy casual lunch or just for some warm comfort food.

    Highly recommended place is very small but the food is great ... The chef made me an appetizer with shrimp that was not on the menu and did a dish for dinner with veal and where I'm picky he did it the way I liked it and with pasta my wife is easy she got a pizza Very nice staff an we got to meet the owners to my surprise the chef an his wife are the owners ty for making it a good experience an we will be back soon

It had a perfect kick of spice, very tasty and the portion was huge. The quality of all the dishes seemed higher than expected at a tavern/sports bar type place. It's pretty cool inside with a nice atmosphere, huge bar and very clean.

    My primary goal (pun intended) was to watch a world cup game while eating some good food and I got…read morejust that. I dragged my friend along with me. There were a couple empty seats at the bar, some of which seemed suspiciously untouched and we soon realized why; the AC was blasting overheard and although it felt nice in the beginning since it was HOT outside, after 10 minutes it felt frigid. We stayed there anyways since there was a huge TV right in front of us. I wasn't sure what to order, but the chicken and burrata sandwich sounded really good, mostly because of the sweet, salty, and creamy contrast. I ended up ordering it and upgraded my fries to parmesan fries. My friend ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. After about 15 minutes, the food came out. I knew the chicken would be grilled since I asked before ordering so my expectations were low, but it was surprisingly still moist, did taste grilled, but lacked some seasoning. I did not open the sandwich to check how much burrata there was, but adding some more would not have hurt. The fig jam was definitely the star of the show. It overpowered some of the other flavors, but I didn't mind. The caramelized onions might've also contributed to the sweetness; they were soft and good. I was glad they did not add too much arugula since it can get bitter. The ciabatta was a good choice of bread for this sandwich, and it came lightly toasted. I did not taste much of the garlic. The fries were good. They were like regular fries, but with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and a parmesan dipping sauce. I also ordered some secret sauce for my fries because I went down a Reddit rabbit hole and was compelled to try it. I was not impressed and it indeed tasted a lot like ketchup and mayo, with maybe a couple other things. We stayed for the full match including overtime. Thankfully it wasn't busy enough where I felt they would kick us out for taking up chairs for too long. Our waitress was great.

The Birria Burrito was good, not amazing. The consome wasn't rich and flavorful like it should have been. Mostly just some beef stock with Onion and cilantro added in. The beef in the burrito didn't have a ton of depth or any of those hallmark spices that I'd expect. Overall, nice space, good experience and I'd give it another go at some point.

If you want top notch, too shelf, Mexican cuisine made with quality ingredients, and by staff that put amore on every plate, look no further. Tequila selection is the largest and most eclectic in several counties or more. Don't sleep on the street corn app or churros for dessert. Hurry up because this place is getting popular.

You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but I'd like to highlight one dish - Chicken Tandoori Fries! These fries are crispy, loaded with flavor with a bunch of chicken and cheese on it. I got this dish to share, but I truly needed my own to enjoy it thoroughly. The dining room is absolutely massive and I'm sure it could fit a large number of people, so I don't think making a reservation is ever necessary. It is strange that I never see many people dine in, but you could see they're very busy with takeout orders. The staff are always friendly, timely and knowledgeable about their menu. This spot is worth a try and you just might get hooked like I am. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

Last evening was busy being that it was Friday night at peak dinner time. Even so our server was friendly and efficient without being rushed. We shared an appetizer of crab rangoon amongst the 4 of us. Crispy and filled to the brim with cream cheese, crab meat, and scallions with just the right amount of savory and sweetness. Then on to the entrees, we shared a heaping bowl of Mei Fun noodles (always moist and delicious). 2 orders of D #11 (IYKYK) , Egg rolls, and a huge portion of Shrimp Chow Mein. All exceptional. We often frequent and enjoy supporting this all family run restaurant. Townie Tip: Parking can get difficult on street but directly across the street is a large parking lot for Bank of America and since it is closed after 5, it provides ample parking for all of the nearby North Attleboro downtown restaurants.
