Cugino Forno Durham – Italian
Sunlight streams through the expansive windows of this industrial-chic space, where massive, gold-tiled ovens imported from Naples serve as the glowing heart of the room. Guests gather around long communal tables to share blistered, thin-crust pizzas topped with vibrant San Marzano tomatoes and creamy buffalo mozzarella, each bite offering a perfect balance of smoky char and fresh, authentic flavor. The air hums with the energy of a bustling Italian piazza, inviting diners to linger over a glass of wine while watching the rhythmic dance of pizzaiolos tossing dough in the open kitchen.
