Amazing food, super cute atmosphere and all the staff are so nice and friendly. Went for the first time with my kiddo a few days ago and they made something not on the menu specifically for him (he’s picky and has a bunch of food allergies) and he loved it. I had The Godfather and it was delicious! I could only eat half as they don’t skimp on the portion size, but that just meant I had to have it for dinner as well 🤤. Highly recommend! 💜

From deli delights to take and bake lasagnas, plus pantry staples, this is a lovely little well-curated shop. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Super busy family owned eatery. Sanguiches were amazing and the service although slow due to volume was very pleasant. We spent our time waiting in the little store they have with all kinds of ported goodies. And bonus they have chocolate cheese!

Eccellente!! Our whole family loved it. We each ordered a different pasta and then we all shared. The noodle texture was perfect in all the dishes. Dont forget to leave room for their great spumoni at the end because it comes with your meal. Wish we had this restaurant in our home town.

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Everything is delicious and the service top-notch. Highly recommend getting meatballs and pasta to go as well. Yum!!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Its lost in the West end of town we certainly would have never gone without a Google search got Italian Takeout near me! We wanted to take an Italian Meal to our son, wife and grand children. We ordered from the Take and Bake menu, asked that it be ready to eat at pickup time of 4:45 (Close at 5) and it was ready....and I must say the Veggie Lasagna Alfredo was spectacular. At first blush upon seeing the menu we thought it to be a bit pricey, but when we saw the portions and quality and tasted, we thought differently. We fed 4 adults, the kids who are over the top picky eaters ate other things and there was plenty left over!!!!! Manga!!!

Worth the 45 min wait (it was busy). My first time here and my panini was perfect 👌 definitely want to go back to try their pastas and take home some meats from their deli (large variety of european meats and cheeses).

Amazing food in a family run Italian grocery store/restaurant. The owners were very friendly, and asked if we had space for spumoni afterwards, but we were so full from the entrees (spaghetti and meatballs for my wife, and The Godfather panini for me).

I placed a to go order over the phone and was told it would be an hour, which was fine. I arrived to pick up my food and overheard the cook saying they didn’t have the “white sauce” for my meal and I would have to wait. I asked how long and was rushed off by her saying “just give me some time, I’m trying to do a million things.” Excuse me! Am I bothering you?? She then offered to make some alternative oil based sauce. I declined because it wasn’t appeasing and I had to get back to work. Then the cook says “just give her, her money back.” I have never been treated so poorly by who might’ve been the owner. I would never give this place a penny and they NEED to learn customer service as well as time management.The male cashier was pleasant and apologized for my food not being ready.

Definitely a “family” restaurant, Dominic is the real deal.. both of them. We had some good times, their meatballs are nice and the grinders are good. Buy a lasagna in the freezer to take home, it’s as good as it gets for the price. The chef is pretty cool too, and always makes good food.

What can I say ... GEM in Walla Walla Valley. With OMG! quality of products and the dinners in the cooler are ... off-the-charts. Michelle and family produce cheese-meat plates and sell products that are our go-to for family important meals and we have yet to be disappointed. Outstanding.

Cuginis is an absolute must for us every time were in Walla Walla. The roasted veggie panini is probably the best sandwich Ive ever eaten. I ordered it gluten free and the bread was amazing...ALMOST as good as gluten :) I also bought some home made gf fettucini out of case that was incredible. Easily the best gf pasta Ive tried.I highly recommend them to all you food-lovers out there!

This place isnt physically huge, but its huge in quality. Everything I had here was fantastic. For such a cozy space, they have a great assortment of Italian foods and drinks. The food that they prepare and serve on site looks amazing. Got a lasagna to bake at home and it was absolutely delicious.You can tell its a beloved local stop when a business is out of the way and totally packed on an afternoon.

We were in Walla Walla speaking to another couple and she highly recommended this restaurant. Sounded good, so we went. Oh my goodness it is fabulous! We had the most delicious lunch, we both had pasta, I had sausage lasagna that was enough for 2. My husband had mushroom raviolis in a white sauce that was to die for. They both came with a salad and we got complimentary spumoni ice cream for dessert! Family owned and operated. Seating inside or out. Great food and service. Loved it!

Awesome place! Its a really nice change from supermarket cheeses and meats. The people working here and the owners were really helpful, welcoming, and nice. I took a really long time figuring out what to try, but they were very patient with me. I got quite a bit of cheese and meat, and it was at a good price. I wish I had bought more!Cant wait to try the meals they serve as well. Ill be returning for sure!

Ive been driving past this place for years, never knowing what it was. Some friends took us here recently and I literally felt regret for all those years of passing it by. It was so good and the atmosphere so quaint and family driven and I will definitely be back for more. The best lasagna will change your life.

NEVER FELT MORE UNWELCOME!!!I have a food allergy and when I told the owner and asked what she suggested for me, she snapped, “everything has that in it!” Well, first of all that’s not true! And second of all, I am a server and I know you can work around food allergies. Very unhelpful and rude. If I had been alone I would have left, but I was a guest of company and didn’t want to be rude, unlike the owner of this establishment. If you have a food allergy, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!

In my opinion, the best deli in Walla Walla. They have very good prices on everything, a very good selection of meats, cheeses and house made pastas. They also do sandwiches and other food, and their food is amazing. The staff is always very friendly and informative as well. I highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful place to eat! They import lots of stuff directly from Italy, they have Italians cooking the food, and they also make some of their own smoked meats. This is easily in my top 5 best sandwiches I have ever eaten. I am going to go back and buy some cheese to take home so that I can make some cacio y pepe...

Great little family Italian deli on the outskirts of town. Sandwiches. Panninis,pasta. Took home some housemade meatballs, they are delicious. Also can get sauces and pastas to take home. My only con is their checkout. Its back in a cramped corner, but it worth the inconvenience.

Ive been going here since they opened. They have some of the valleys only authentic Italian foods and sundries. May be a bit pricey but theres no where else you can get them in walla walla. Their food is delicious and theyre always willing to help you. They dont have cannoli ready in the cold case? Wait 5 min and she will make it just for you. Lovely Italian family. Support their business.

We walked in at closing time and got the same service we would have gotten if wed walked in two hours before. We asked them to make is a charcuterie and cheese platter for four, and the woman who helped us made a beautiful and delicious platter that we enjoyed with some local wine and a sunset back at our rental spot. We will be back every time we come back to Walla Walla!

Fantastic Italian fare! We just stumbled upon this place after leaving home in Alabama at 2:30 am to travel to Walla Walla, and we are so very happy that we made Cugini’s our first stop! The staff was helpful, the place was clean, the food was excellent, as was the wine. We had the veggie lasagna and the ravioli special with Pancetta and figs in a cream sauce. Do not overlook Cugini’s!! It is a MUST STOP for your Walla Walla trip.
