So I went to C&O today to have dinner with some friends. The service was excellent even though I didn't quite catch my waiters name I just know he was on top of everything including the water refills. The food came out super fast, we ordered one minute and the food was there the next minute. Ok not quite that fast but fast. lol!!! The ambience was nice too I saw families enjoying a meal,or date night type of place, or just friends hanging out like us. Loved this place and will definitely come back this was my first time here but not my last.

I have always been pleased with my plate as well as the rest of my party. The garlic knots are a crowd pleaser. However, I opted to switch for the garlic mashed potatoes instead of the linguine. The potatoes were flavorless, unfortunately. The picatta was delicious as always. The wait staff were quick to refill the knots, and very welcoming. Inthe future I will stick with the linguine.

This has been me and my family's favorite Italian spot for a really long time used to be two on the same street. That's how good this place is. Service here is great. You seated fast. The ambience is amazing. The music that they play is good. Just a great vibe at this restaurant. I highly suggest you all trying.

We had a fantastic dinner. Great ambiance, amazing food, and phenomenal service! Our server Ian was great - super personable. We used to frequent the Trattoria before it closed and haven't been to the location before, but was really nice. I had the pappardelle Shrimp which was very tasty. And if you haven't had the garlic knots, I'm pretty sure you haven't lived.

I had the pleasure of dining at C&O Cucina, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Here's a breakdown of my visit: The food at C&O Cucina was absolutely flavorful and delicious. We started with their famous garlic bread, which was crispy, buttery, and packed with savory flavor. For the main course, I tried their signature pasta dishes, and they were phenomenal. The pasta was fresh, cooked perfectly al dente, and the sauce was rich and savory definitely a standout. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted like it had been made with care and high-quality ingredients. The flavors were bold, but not overpowering, striking a perfect balance. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome the moment we sat down. They provided great recommendations and checked in with us regularly without being overbearing. The food came out surprisingly quickly, and we were able to enjoy our meal without any long waits.

Courteous staff. Correcting my previous review: we should ask restaurant we visit, to include the ingredients, not the recipe.

Everything is delicious and customer service is great. My kids loved this place. It was a recommendation from a friend.

Came here with my girlfriend, and we had a great experience! We started with the unlimited garlic knots, which were fresh, warm, and delicious. Then, we shared a Caesar salad--solid, I'd give it a 7.5/10. For the main course, we ordered three different pastas and shared them all. Each one had its own unique flavor and was easily an 8/10 or higher. Everything was well-cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. Service was also on point--our server checked in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Overall, a great spot for a casual and delicious meal. Definitely coming back!

Garlic rolls were 10/10, pastas were 7/10. Everything about the service was fast, fast, fast. We were seated quickly and were served garlic rolls almost as soon as we sat down. Once we ordered, the food came out REALLY fast. I was a little worried about how fast the food came out but the food was good! A bit on the salty side but went great with the garlic knots. We ordered rigatoni al forno and linguini shrimp. The Linguini Shrimp came with a generous amount of shrimp which I appreciated! The rigatoni was a tasty classic. Overall solid spot for delicious carbs.

I've not dined at this exact location, but I've ordered takeout recently! Love the garlic knots, meatballs, lasagna, and fettuccine pollo marsala!! My Go-To Order (each order come with 4pc garlic knots): - Fettuccine Pollo Marsala (sub fettuccine with capellini) and I get gargantuan size! - Lasagna Bolognese The staff is very helpful and friendly at then pick up counter outside! There's some street parking and a valet parking inside. I LOVE C&O!!! I've been a fan for over two decades! I used to frequent their other location down the street before they closed.
