527 Brant St, Burlington, ON L7R 2G6, Canada
Italian gastropub serving local & Italian beers, wines and a chef inspired menu.
We had a large group and reserved the private room. We ordered pizzas, brussel sprouts, chicken, pasta, and the kale salad. Everything was delicious. Lots of drink options (made to order) and lots of beer options. The service was top notch. Jarod, Mark and Jenny were great and made sure our group had a fantastic night and were very accommodating of our last minute requests.
The first time we visited this place, it was very cold, and there was a draft near the door that chilled our feet. However, the food was truly delicious, and the staff was pleasant, which made us decide to give this place a second chance. We called in advance to book a table and requested a good spot since it was a special day for us. Imagine our disappointment when we arrived and found that our table was located right next to the restroom door. Are you so focused on making money that you think people will feel comfortable sitting and enjoying their meal in a spot where there is a noticeable smell from the restroom? Unbelievable. We simply turned around and left, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever return. P.S. Unfortunately, we were not offered the bar or any alternatives—your team simply informed us that ‘nothing could be done.’ It’s understandable that not everyone can be made happy, but ensuring basic comfort and addressing guest concerns with sincerity would be a good place to start. Best of luck refining these processes. Luckily, another restaurant made me happier that evening.
Best spot for craft beer in Burlington! Food is excellent too
Culaccino Bar & Kitchen boasts a great atmosphere and vibrant vibe, making it an enjoyable spot for a night out. The food is delicious, and every dish we tried was a delight. The staff is friendly and attentive, contributing to the overall positive experience. The drink selection is impressive, offering a variety of options that complement the menu beautifully. I would definitely come back, although it is on the pricier side. Overall, Culaccino Bar & Kitchen is a fantastic place to unwind and indulge in great food and drinks!
Absolute best selection of craft beer in the region. You must have their fried chicken, and/or gnocchi
Amazing food - especially the fried chicken board and the burrata!! Definitely get those when you go. I liked my lemon drop cocktail and espresso martini. They have quite an extensive list of craft beers which my boyfriend enjoyed as well. Service was great too.
Great craft beer selection. Great customer service and good vibes. The pizza was nicely cooked, crust was so good. But the star was the fried chicken .. definitely a must try!!!
If you are visiting, you HAVE to try their gnocchi. The truffle cream sauce is absolutely heavenly!! The cauliflower was very flavorful but it was bit too oily and heavy for our taste. The fried chicken platter was so crispy and juicy! Both came in a generous serving size. Service was amazing, great atmosphere and they have an extensive beer list. All in all we had a great dining experience would love to come again!
As soon as you walk through the front doors, you know you are in for a special culinary experience. The ambience is cosy and inviting, we immediately felt an awesome ambience and a welcoming spirit. The service was friendly, super attentive and in tune with our needs. Our waitress was Tessa. She was simply the best! She definitely added something special to our dining experience. When we didn t know what to order ( the menu is amazing) Tessa s knowledge guided us towards perfect selections.Now let s move onto the food, decadent, mouthwatering, a culinary delight, I could go on and on but in a word, the food was fantastic. Great portions and great value!! The bar menu was extensive and certainly did not disappoint. The beer selection was off the charts. The wine selection was fantastic and the speciality cocktails were just what this girl needed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience! This is now one of our favourite restaurants and without a doubt, we will definitely be back again and again and again. Dietary restrictions: We let our server know about a soya allergy in our group and she took this matter very seriously. She took the time to speak directly to the kitchen staff and made us feel completely at ease. Kid-friendliness: Although we did not bring children, there were children. They do not have a children s menu but items are child friendly, especially the pizza and fried chicken. Definitely shareable. Wheelchair accessibility: My father was in a wheelchair and he was treated exceptionally well. They made sure my dad was safe, comfortable and not a bother. Super sensitive to his needs.
Fabulous like every time
Really consistently enjoyable, go to neighbourhood place. Great staff, super nice owners, good food and a nice selection of beers. Nothing better than having a Campari on their patio while watching the bustle of Brant Street. Parking: There is loads of parking very close. After banking hours, theres a free bank parking lot adjacent. Kid-friendliness: The family owners love kids. My kids are always well behaved the owners and staff make them feel wanted and welcome.
Excellent service! Pizza was delicious! Perfect crust.
Food was delicious, great staff
We went to dinner here with another couple on a Saturday night. Overall we had a very enjoyable evening. The environment is cool Its just very busy inside. Its not a well laid out space and they certainly pack it tight. We had a table between two doorways so there was constantly traffic going by our table, both guests and servers. So we didnt love the location of the table but it was fine. The food was pretty good. We shared the brussel sprouts to start and they were the highlight of the meal. They were absolutely excellent. For our mains, two people had the gnocchi, one person had the burger, and I had the orecchiette with sausage and rapini. Everybody enjoyed their meals and the portion sizes were just right. For dessert we had tiramisu and salted caramel cheesecake. I thought the dessert options were lacking as there were only the two. The tiramisu was just okay. It was very wippy and fluffy as opposed to being rich and creamy. It wasnt bad but but not something Im going to rush out to have again. As for the salted caramel cheesecake, it was an unbaked dish and had a very thick layer of caramel which took away from the dessert - probably a half inch top layer of caramel. Didnt like it and wouldnt get it again. Everybody was just caramel. Service was okay. The server was super nice, but probably had too many tables. Seem to always be rushing us. When she checked on us she would be walking by without really stopping and just saying you guys are good right? The owner or manager did stop by at the end of our meal to thank us for coming by and ask us how our meal is.
overall good experience! the not so good, we ordered 6 Carbonara plates and they all had very little or no guanciale. Very disappointing. The Moscow mules were not great, too sour. the great! Jenny was a great server! the vodka rigatoni was fabulous and pizza was superb. the appetizers and wine were great. I will come again, hopefully the Carbonera issue was an accident. Thank you Culaccino team for making our birthday celebration a great one even though part of our group was late!
Very good food with a simple menu concept, great service, and cozy casual atmosphere. Amazing ipa selection, and very well-versed bartenders and staff to help recommend a perfect selection. Awesome for a date night or friends or family gathering.
Excellent Italian cuisine in Downtown Burlington. Everything was delightfully tasty. We chose to deconstruct the menu, and had most dishes served bland with wonderful sauces bases on the side. The craft beer menu is phenomenal. Enjoyed international samples and some excellent local brewed beers, along with a fresh glass of Pinot Noir from France. Dinner was exceptional, wished Id remembered to try the desserts, and coffee bar menu. It was so nice to meet the owner and compliment all the beautiful combinations. Kid-friendliness: Everyone stepped out for our child. Especially Michael and Trenton. Thank you
Delicious fried chicken board and gnocchi tartufo! Excellent friendly service!
The Three Speed Lager is named after a bicycle and not a transmission
We had a great dinner at Culaccino! So many beers to chose from and delicious cocktails too! Our server Ava had some great recommendations and the cooking was very authentic Italian. Jerod the manager was super friendly and hospitable! We will definitely be back!
Ava took great care of us! The pasta & pizza were delicious. The restaurant made classics like margarita pizza and pasta carbonara delicious & true to tradition. Their craft beer list is also the best in the city!
Omg had the best Ghnocchi ever and our server Eddie was fantastic. Definitely will be back!
Second visit this past Saturday evening and it was excellent start to finish. We had a reservation for 6; when we arrived it was quite hot out and we asked to sit outside instead, which was done immediately and graciously. The service was fast, friendly and constant without feeling overbearing. Food was incredible as with our first visit - the chicken board and Brussel sprouts to start (and share) really stood out. Will definitely be coming back. If I could make any suggestion, a cocktail menu would be helpful as they do serve all the usuals (well made I might add) but there s no list for them. Thank for another memorable evening!
Friendly welcoming team. High level service. Delicious food. Warm atmosphere. Thanks.
I love this place, the food is great, service is outstanding and the owners are fabulous!
Happy to finally try this restaurant out and it definitely wont be the last time. The food is fresh, tasty and great presentation. The actual restaurant is very unique and well set up with plenty of outdoor seating, and very clean. Then there is the service, top level, professional and extremely friendly. Cant wait to come back!
Enjoyed drinks, fried calamari was one of the best and the pastas were excellent ( that includes our custom made rigatoni)!!!!
Great apps, pizza and pasta
love this place. The location, food, atmosphere and ambience are all top notch. The staff is also super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
It was very noisy ! Couldnt have a conversation with my friends...Very disappointing
Amazing food & service . Owner takes time to talk to guests - very friendly family ! Beer from everywhere not to mention too. Wine !!
This place is great! Fried chicken platter amazing! Pizza amazing! Pasta amazing! Highly recommend
Great, friendly service.
Food was delicious and service was impeccable
Went to Culaccino with 6 ladies for a birthday meal on a Saturday nite and I have to say it was a huge dissapointment. I came here with a group of girls 2 years ago and had a completely different experience. The food was still good I really enjoyed the apps and pizzas we shared as a group, very tasty and decent portions. However the service and ambience was not what it used to be. First of all what Italian resturant runs out of prosecco? It wasnt even busy. Secondly the server was not very warm and personable. We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and there was no birthday dessert offered, we didnt even get offered a dessert menu. It was just really poor service and slow. Its a shame because this used to be a great place to with a fun vibe we couldnt wait to get out of there and go somewhere else.
Best restaurant in the area. Food and service is world class and can t wait to come back.
Great atmosphere, vibe and layout. Food is good for socializing. Good beer selection. Pizza is nice. Buttermilk fried chicken is awesome. The Brussels sprouts were awesome. Even my toddler ate them. Very awesome.
The pizza was amazing, pasta was so good! Only thing that would make it better would be if it was served with bread!! New go/to for italian.
Had dinner here as a work party. The food was excellent and however they make the moscow mules, they are smooth and delicious. The best Ive had
Seating can be a bit tight but they have a pretty extensive beer selection from a variety of craft breweries and local options. Beers can be a little pricey but considering the selection it feels worth it. The food has always been enjoyable and well prepared and the staff are always friendly. Parking: Its best to park at the paid public parking lot just behind the building. It is typically free if youre parking on the weekend or in the evenings.
I went on a quick date with my husband and we were in a hurry as our son was in a class. They served us quickly. The server was very very sweet. We had the shrimp and fungi pizza and both were really delicious.
Great retro atmosphere and friendly service. Was recommended the Spicy Honey Pizza which was fantastic alongside some drinks. The Milkshark IPA (tropical) from Bellwoods is a must try!
Great food and amazing service
Good food and great atmosphere
Craft beer section is amazing! So good it will distract you from the low food quantity and quality that is inversely proportional to the price. Chicken masala was but a mere chicken Brest with a few potatoes, extremely bland and missing sauce and mushrooms. Left hungrier than I went in and had to cook dinner when I got home
Excellent service, great ambiance, and one of the best burgers Ive ever tasted. Im glad we decided to check out Culaccino, well be back!
What a wonderful discovery in Burlington downtown. Craft brew house with some of the best pizza around. Traditional thin crust Italian with a delicious semolina dusting on the bottom, the pizza have a crispy experience and a soft chewy interior, and thats just the crust. The toppings are excellent as well. The shareable and appetizers are of excellent volume and value. A definite return again place. Service was upbeat and fun, though I believe the staff were a bit overwhelmed with the number of clients to serve the night we went. Our party was a group of 10. Go support this local establishment!
What an amazing experience! When you first walk in you know right away it is an older building converted to a restaurant. It was a bank and you can actually eat in the vault room, really cool. We sat at the bar 1st while we waited for friends. I was trying to decide between two wines, they let me sample both and did the same for my husband s beer. Nice touch! Everything we ordered was so delicious my husband and I can t wait to go back. We only ate from the shareable menu. Definitely enough food prepared for two. We had the deep fried Brussels sprouts( one of the best we have had), truffle fries, crispy chicken( so moist and so tasty drizzled with a sweet yet savoury reduction) and a pizza. Yes that sounds like a lot, we did have leftovers for lunch the next day
Had a great time. Food was awesome. Staff was excellent. Great beer selection. Food : 5/5
The atmosphere was great, food was fantastic and had excellent customer service from the staff. Thanks again for the dinner!
Cool bar & restaurant in the heart of Brant street. They have a good selection of beers and plates. The architecture of the building is very interesting and has a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. Good choice for a romantic night out.
Highly suggest the Diavolo pizza. Its got some kick but not very spicy. Lots of drinks to choose from Food
Had the gnocchi and chicken. Love it. Great food Food
High prices, below average food, auto included 20% tip. Would not come back.
Fried brussel sprouts gave everyone who ate it a severe stomach ache lasting days.
The spicy shrimp and steak special were absolutely delicious and well presented. You can really taste that quality matters at this place. Service was very professional and attentive. Highly recommend this family run place that just never disappoints!
Mouthwatering food, amazing team Ava our host was great support and friendly advisor as it s our first time. Highly recommended Food : 5/5
Good service. Food is good. The beer selection here is especially good here. They have some special imported Italian beers that were good.
The restaurant atmosphere is somewhat understated, but dont let looks deceive you - this is a great restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the food which was both delicious and wonderfully presented. Highly recommended if youre in the Burlington area!
One of the best spots for a casual Italian dinner in Burlington. Beer list is impressive, pizza top notch, and the pasta is amazing!
This place is a great find!! Relaxing and cozy atmosphere, attentive staff and good food!! A beer connoisseurs heaven. Family owned......Jerod is a cicerone (equivalent to sommelier of wine), and they have a vast, hard-to-beat beer list. I have been 3 times and plan on returning often.
Great beer selection, brussel sprouts were amazing.
incredible service, incredible staff, incredible food
Great place with great staff. We love dropping in for their espresso but the good is also great!! Try the fried chicken board..yum! Updated: wow the beer selection. Service
Calamari excellent. A bit salty however cooked very well. Sausage & Rapini Pizza no taste. Was supposed to have a hot sauce on it which I opted out of and then asked for and almost chocked it was so hot. Brought the rest home and will fix it up to have taste. Friend liked the fungi pizza. Fried chicken sandwiches excellent as were the fries. Tess provided excellent service.
Sat at an annex. The cushions were way too old. Food was ok. The steak not worth. Pizzas and chicken were good. Ordered too much food but the waiter didn t advice it was too much. Not bad but could ve been better.
Food: it s all good but the menu is limited - 3 . The food is actually a 4 I would say but if you frequent the place you get tired of it. If you re looking for a variety of beer, however, it s as good as it gets here. Service: excellent staff and the owners are here and invested. They know their product. They treat you well. Atmosphere: it s an old round bank with no ceiling treatment. Very difficult to hear much in the main room when it s busy. Wish they would add some simple hanging sound dampers. There are side rooms for privacy. Two medium sized TVs and generally they ll put on what you want if you re looking for a particular game. Excellent patio on the main drag of Burlington. We are very lucky to have this place in our community. Stay away if you re looking for cheap pints of coors light; this isn t your place. Parking: They have a little parking out back (which is unusual) and there is a municipal parking lot behind too. Street parking available too within one block Wheelchair accessibility: All one level and I believe wheelchair accessibility will not be an issue.
Amazing location for a drink at the bar or to enjoy their excellent food quality and service.
Everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere and service is outstanding. The food/beer is worth every penny. I love coming back and supporting this local business!
A great place for dinner. Our calamari starter was very good. The prosciutto pizza was also tasty. The choice of beers was worth the visit. Service was fast and very friendly.
As noted on reviews, the chicken dishes were excellent. Service was prompt and friendly and the prices reasonable. Will return.
Consistently wonderful, always enjoy our meals and gatherings here and tonight was no exception! Thank you.
Food is good, great service, great location, notable dish were the fries and pizza
Great evening spent with friends. Nothing really to say except for the food, atmosphere, service was nothing less than a 10+. So delicious that we are still raving about it the next day. Started with appetizers and drinks to all of our main dishes that were so delicious. Looking so forward to our next visit. THANK YOU for such a great experience
Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Me and my friends will be back again. We will be back.
Came here for dinner and the service was extraordinary! We ordered the veal bolognese, which was pretty average tbh. Their fried chicken platter and calamari however were AMAZING! So so good, and the vibes were immaculate. But the real star was their limited-time apple cinnamon cheesecake. I ll forever remember that dish I wanna gatekeep it but 10/10 would come here again JUST for that dessert.
Wonderful first experience at Culaccino! Reservation for 10 people this past Saturday; everyone was very pleased with the service and the food exceeded our expectations!
The food and service are always very good. It was fairly noisy this time and hard to hold a conversation. Drink prices are also high compared to other restaurants in the area.
3 great meals. Cool that it is an old bank. Owner came by to chat. Huge craft beer menu
Excellent
I had calamari, incredible gnocchi and a few of the best whisky sours ever. Amazing atmosphere! Wonderful staff and great food.
If I could rate with more stars, I would. This was a hidden gem that I will continue to go to moving forward. Homemade ketchup, pasta, hot sauce I mean what isnt homemade here?!! The truffle fries and gnoochi were to die for!! Wish I had room for more food to try so I can try the rest of the menu!! Worth the 1.5 hour trip
We love their Service, Food & Local beer selection! Sergio F Downtown Burlington
Amazing truffles gnocchi
Nice place, good food
Great quality service and food. Very friendly staff that are attentive.
This place is a Gem. Great food, awesome staff!
Beautiful place, delicious food, outstanding service and easy parking. We had the veal bolognese and the carbonara, so delicious! Impressive craft beer selection. We ll come back to try the pizza.
Beautiful atmosphere, great food!
Awesome place, great menu, beer menu goes on for days!
Finally got to experience this gem and oh man it did not disappoint the chef and kitchen team are obviously skilled and executed an incredible meal. The bartender made an outstanding old fashion and the wait staff we friendly, knowledgeable and the perfect amount of attentive. gnocchi in truffle Creamsicle with mushrooms Run dont walk for that!
Amazing service, atmosphere and food! Cauliflower Fritti and pizza s were delicious. We will definitely be coming back again soon
Excellent service and a trendy, social environment. Love it!
Just want to express our gratitude to the staff at how they made our birthday dinner amazing. The food was top notch as was the hospitality.
EXTREMELY kind and accommodating place. My friends and I had a great time at this restaurant. They sat us an a private area and were super accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions. The food tasted super fresh and had a lot of flavor. Super rich gnocchi! Will definitely come here again. Loved the service here .
Wow! The food was fantastic. I wish I had tried it here so much sooner!
Went for girls night, we all ordered different drinks and food. Very lovely place. Great food and service
Amazing food, atmosphere, decoration and craft beer selection but the best part was our server Tess! One of my fav places in Burlington for sure!
Great service and delicious food. We would definitely go back!
Nice food
Deeeeeelicious
Great service. Beer selection was better than I expected. Daughter loved her pizza, said it was the best she ever had. :-) Chicken board was pretty good. Chicken was tender and crispy. Sauce on the side wasnt that great but balsamic drizzle was already good enough.
Italian food and good drinks? You guys gotta come here.
The gnocchi tartufo is to die for. +Must end the meal with the tiramisu as well! Will continue coming back :)
Great food but service is lacking
Everything we ordered was delicious. Margarita pizza excellent!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! What a gem!!! The ambiance here is unique, the staff is tier one and the food? THE FOOD!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!! If you re going here (you should definitely go here!!) make sure you get the fried chicken! Best fried chicken I ve ever had - honestly!! They wouldn t tell me the recipe but I tried. The batter is crispy but not too crispy. The chicken itself is done to perfection and the spices are just right. Definitely a must when you re there. Ceaser Salad: I m somewhat of a Ceaser salad expert. This one was super-fresh, seasoned just right (again, they wouldn t give me the recipe ) and an absolute delight to devour! This restaurant checked all the boxes and the owner and staff are genuinely geared towards making sure that you enjoy yourselves. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The beer was really good
The manager Jerod is an awesome guy! The bartenders and wait staff are super cool. The food is very tasty and their beer selection is top notch! It literally has become one of my go to places while in town. Parking: Theres a parking lot across from the rear entrance. Very convenient.
Best spicy shrimp app ever. Hands down.
Service was prompt. My group and I ate outdoors which was nice ! Washroom was also clean. The food came out at appropriate intervals and the waitress was very friendly. The fries were yummy and a good amount for sharing, the margarita pizza was ok, and the cheesecake was REALLY GOOD!
Service was great and the patio was perfect. Very kind staff and helpful. Food was very good, I recommend the chicken parm!
8 people for a birthday event. Dinner and wine were great. Server was very attentive and fun. Only complaint was the glare of the sun off of the glass building next door. Get some black out curtains now! Parking: Public parking behind the restaurant is free after 6pm.
Dietary restrictions: Some gluten-free options. Lots of Ontario beers to choose from.
Best dinner date here. There atmosphere is amazing located so close to the waterfront makes for a very romantic date night. The architecture of the building is so unique and inviting you really just have to check it out. Driving past here a few times lead us to eating here for dinner this week and it s a true gem. Lots of accommodating seating inside and outside. Amazing staff with some of the best customer service. They really know their stuff, and can give you some good recommendations for their wide selection of brews/ drinks they offer. All of this was just the tip of the iceberg because the food was amazing. For an appetizer we ordered the shrimp. The only thing I could suggest was a bit more for the appetizer as I did expect to be able to share it but it was more of an individual size. Didn t change the flavour cause it was phenomenal. My partner ordered the Burger with Parmesan frites they have and I order the Gnocchi. Such a creamy spectacular pasta, the frites were so good I couldn t even steal one, and all the food was served with a unique aesthetic appeal. All in all looking forward to coming back.
Love this place. Absolutely one of our favourites. The staff and the owners are awesome.
Delicious food! It was my fisrt visit and I will definitely come back! The service was wonderful!
Start to finish an excellent experience. From the hostess to the owner, all are invested in a great dining experience. I enjoyed the patio this trip, and inside is to die for. Culo is a gem!
Food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. Will definitely be returning. Appreciated the public parking lot behind the restaurant.
Good food, good beer and nice people.
Just finished dinner here.. 4 of us and we had the Chicken Parmesan and Veal Bolognese along with the Calamari appetizer and Caprese Salad. The Calamari was great.. the Caprese acceptable and both mains really disappointing to say the least. Way too heavy on the tomato sauce with the Veal pretty much missing in action. Chicken was dry and drowned in the same canned tomato sauce... Service was Awesome and we shared a cheesecake dessert which was great!
First time visiting this restaurant and we will definitely be back! My daughters, Mom and myself absolutely loved everything from the service to the meal. They even had blankets to use if choosing to sit on the patio! As for the food it was perfect. 2 of us ordered the Chicken Parmesan, 1 ordered pizza and the 4th person ordered the Fettuccine. We also had the Cesar Salad and Kale Salad with apples and pecans. Everything was fresh, flavourful and fantastic! Cant say enough. Thanks for such a wonderful experience! It was the beginning of a great night followed by a concert to see Johnny Reid!
Never disappoints with fabulous food and service. Its a must visit if youre in downtown Burlington. The team is one of the friendliest around!
Gnocchi pasta is to die for.
I got the gnocchi which was great but it had way too many mushrooms and zucchini that it just was not great
Food was good. Prices are way too high though. Drink prices are astronomical. Bartender didnt know how to make the drink I wanted. Which is fine if you arent charging 5 star prices. Poor experience overall.
Culaccino never fails to deliver a great experience. It s next to impossible to find an extensive beer list and pair it with fantastic food. This is where Culaccino separates themselves. The gnocci is wonderful and the burger is one of the best in Burlington. Always recommended.
Tessa was knowledgeable and friendly. Service was prompt and food was absolutely delicious, from the steak to the gnocchi and risotto we were all super happy. Oh and the apps spicy shrimp and calamari, I wanted to lick my fingers. Awesome!!!
Ordered a bottle and some drinks and apps right at the start. Everything arrived to our tiny table. Thats about where it ended as the server never came back. Went next door and had the rest of our dinner there. Would not recommend.
Excellent place. 100% food
We always enjoy the food from Culaccino. Excellent pizza, fried chicken and the arugula salad is a must!!We miss hanging out at the bar and visiting with the amazing family of staff and are looking forward to the day we can all get back there to see each other.
Amazing food tonight from bar culaccino. Fried chicken out out of this world, delicious Brussels sprouts, and fried cauliflower my fav! was delicious, all cooked to perfection. Super friendly staff, can t wait to return to try more off the menu. Highly recommend.
Amazing place, Amazing food, amazing service!! Always love going to visit!
What a great find. We ordered take out tonight for our covid date night and we really found the food so flavourful, hot, fresh and so delicious. Bar Culiccino you are an exceptional buisness that we are so happy we found. Thank you for making our date night perfect . Also the service and the system you use for take out is done to perfection.
Coolest spot in downtown Burlington
Peace of mind nice customer service
Amazing food and easily the best craft beer selection in the city. Can t beat the patio and atmosphere. Very highly recommend
After being rudely turned away because of our small children at Joe Dog s next door you welcomed us and our children with such hospitality . Your staff were pleasant and quick to feed the kids . You have gained a new loyal customer ! Thanks you!
One of the most delicious meals and an awesome experience! The staff were awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the mushroom pizza, chicken platter and cauli app. There was two of us and it was too tasty not to finish! I am not a beer person but the beer they recommended was delicious! One last feel good of the night was the fact that the owners father was one of the staff! We didnt know that at the time but he went table to table to chat and make sure everything was going well, later on he said his son is the one that owns the restaurant. Will definitely be back!
Haven t had the opportunity to dine-in here yet but have taken-out a number of times and a number of dishes. Staff are exceptionally pleasant and always cheerful and the food is amazing. Can t wait to sit down and experience the whole atmosphere, the setting and decor is unique and inviting. If you are rolling through Burlington or out for a stroll I recommend you hit up Culaccino. Kudos to the management and staff, well done!
Wonderful ambience, great service and really yummy food! We tried Funghi pizza, Sangria (white wine), fries with parmesan and truffle oil and cheese cake. Everything turned out really good! Our preference was to sit outside and management ensured when a table got empty they moved us outside to enjoy!
Expensive? Slightly. Worth it? Most definitely! The food was excellent and the service was top notch. (Hats off to Jenny, our waitress for the night). At a price comparable to that of Il Fornelos, I would highly recommend this restaurant. 10/10
huge craft beer and wine list. The Chicken Board was sooo tender! Delicious
Excellent selection of drinks, fantastic food. Great spot for a night out with friends or a nice dinner. Staff are always top notch.
Great food, awesome atmosphere, and really kind staff!
The food was amazing. Especially the fried brussel sprouts. The Caprese salad could have used a little salt but hey nobodys perfect. Chicken Parm with rigatoni and Bolognese was fantastico. Definitely coming back. Curtis our server was fabulous as well! Kudos all around.
First time visiting Culaccino and was very impressed! Had the truffle fries, Brussel sprouts and cauliflower to start - all of them amazing! Pizzas and salads for main, very good as well. Really spacious patio with a good vibe, right on Brant so its a little loud from the street traffic but overall a great time.
Excellent service! Their beer list was amazing!! Please don t forget to order yourself a Margarita ;) You ll thank me later!
Great patio and good food.
The food was mediocre and overpriced. The service was good.
Excellent food, excellent service. As a family of 6, We loved it!
Visited on Oct. 3, 2020: I purchased food from Culaccino for some Saturday evening takeout. Upon walking up to the door I was very disappointed with the lack of clear COVID. I saw people walk in and out beside me very freely through a very tight front entrance without anyone directing traffic. This definitely raised some concerns and made me uncomfortable waiting at the front hostess table. Watch out for the people leaving and exiting the restaurant if you happen to go inside. As for the food, I ordered the gnocchi tartufo. This dish had great flavours with the mushrooms and creamy sauce. It has a lot of potential, however the gnocchi itself was over cooked and mushy. It tasted a bit like mashed potatoes. The baby kale main Caesar salad seemed like it didnt have the freshest leaves (wasnt crisp and weird aftertaste) and a very fishy anchovy taste in the dressing. I didnt enjoy this at all. Especially for the price I paid for this salad, it was even more disappointing. It definitely didnt hit the spot for a nice fresh Caesar salad. The fried chicken sandwich was very tasty, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The chicken was juicy with an excellent crunch to it. All the ingredients worked very well together. Overall, I was disappointed with Culcaccino. There is a lot of potential but the quality and consistency needs to be there. The 4.4 stars on google reviews set high expectations for me. It seems like this is another very average restaurant with high reviews simply because it is in Burlington. As someone who has travelled around and sampled many different restaurants, personally I feel 3 stars is a more accurate rating.
Great food and drinks! Service is fast and good. Patio is fair size. Worth going!
Drink menu was fantastic and the food was great too! The staff were very good and managing the influx of people at opening and made sure there was suitable space for everyone. Great place to go after work on a Friday!
Amazing food and service!
Wow, try The Burger. Update: came back for beers with my best friend, and this place never disappoints. Jenny was our server and was amazing. This is amazing place.
Really good food and service! Jenny our server was very nice and quick. Highly recommend! The twist on their calamari is a must try!
The chicken board and the shrimp starters were really good
Delicious food if you are a vegetarian - had the gnocchi tartufo which was UNREAL so good, the Brussels sprouts which was delicious and the tiramisu, all 5 stars. Awesome vibe. Very friendly staff. Make a reservation online before you go.
Excellent food and service!!!
Very cool place, love the round open concept look to the restaurant. Great food and the drinks menu is large. Highly recommend.
Fantastic service and food everytime I go
Yummy fried chicken, awesome beer selection. Best in Burlington.
Jerod and his family took excellent care of us during a recent group celebration. Everything was flawless from the decor, the seating and of course the excellent beer selection and food. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great night out, will be back with family and friends to try some of the delicious food and drinks again.
OMG what an experience!! We got to sit in the Vault tonight and it was just amazing. JC was a great server! Will be back 100% (thanks Liz!).
Always a great atmosphere and the food is phenomenal. Its one of the best restaurants in Burlington.
Great selection of drinks. Several micro brewery and imported beers available. Food is really good. Been here several times... had their pizzas, calamari, burger, etc. All good. Restaurant has a nice feel to it. Definitely a unique building.
Stumbled on to this place sorta by accident and was pleasantly surprised to see the HUGE craft beer selection! Has even more than Beertown. Didnt get a chance to try the food but will be going back to do so, just based on the beer selection alone!
WOW!!! No other words can describe how amazing my experience was. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of local/craft brews to be able to make suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing. The Brussel Sprouts are a MUST TRY. Will be returning for sure!
Mens bathroom was disgusting and wreaked of urine. Small food portions for the price and the quality was just OK.
Great food, amazing service, fantastic drink selection!
Absolutely the best BEER selection you will ever find. The bar staff know their stuff, ask them for a recommendation. You will not be disappointed.
We had a great time at Culaccino, its our familys first post Covid outdoor dining. Our server Jenny did a fabulous job and we will definitely go back!
Waited around an hour and a half for appetizers, legitimately got rained on for about 10 minutes without being relocated, and after finally making it inside we got told that we had to vacate the table in 10 minutes as they had reservations coming (we had not even had our food yet). Another party left thankfully so we could actually stay for our dinner. Food was average, nothing worth waiting that long for. However the staff was the nicest I think I have ever encountered. (The 2 stars are for the staff, the restaurant didnt deserve any in my opinion).
Great selection of drinks and atmosphere. Food is delicious albeit being on the pricier end.
Great service. Amazing staff. Owner was so generous.
A wonderful experience. Great food and friendly attentive staff. All the food was served in a timely fashion. Brussel sprouts and fried chicken were delicious. Extensive craft beer selection. Nice atmosphere.
Just finished eating here as a party of 2. Forgotten from the moment we arrived. Overpriced food and drinks. Didnt have basic bar drinks. Loooong wait for our food. When I asked for a refill on my drink it never arrived. While waiting for our bill we watched our waiter chat with the wait staff and do everything other than tend to us. Wont be back.
Love this place
What a cool place, loved the decor and overall atmosphere. Food and service were both really good. Great beer selection.
Always great food, great service & a great atmosphere! Culaccino has been one of my favourites for years!
