Culaccino Bar and Kitchen - Burlington

My wife and I had a light meal in the afternoon. The restaurant was nearly empty, being three o'clock on a Thursday, and we sat at the bar where we chatted with the bartender, CJ. He recommended a great beer for me to try and suggested we try some dishes from the menu. We ordered the octopus, wagyu meatball, roasted Brussels sprouts, burger, and a carne pizza (not Hawaiian). Everything was delicious. The burger was good, though not as outstanding as the other dishes. The octopus was delicate but could have had more flavor for my taste, yet it was still well-prepared. The meatball was excellent, and the tomato sauce tasted authentic Italian. The fried Brussels sprouts were a standout, with a mix of rich flavors and textures. The pizza also impressed us, with a beautiful thin and crispy crust that had just the right amount of chewiness. Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes. The fried chicken plate we saw looked amazing. This place is perfect for enjoying a drink (they have 150 different beers) along with a casual menu that offers a unique twist.

The food was amazing with generous portions and the service was very friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had a pizza during the sound of music festival. There was no tomato sauce, very little cheese and about 6 small pieces of very salty sausage. The onions were good. There was a bit of hot sauce. It is the worst pizza I have...ever had. The beer was good and the service excellent.

My wife and I popped in mid afternoon for a bite to eat. There was hardly anyone there as it was 3pm on a Thursday and we sat at the bar talking to the bartender CJ. He picked out a great beer for me to...try and encouraged us to share some dishes from the “shareables” menu. We ordered the octopus, Waygu meatball, fried Brussel spouts, the burger and a carne pizza (don’t judge). Everything was really good. The burger was good but not as good as everything else, it could have been juicier. The octopus was very tender but could have been charred more for my liking but still very good. The meatball was as good as you could hope for. The tomato sauce tasted like a nonna made it, legit Italian. The fried brussel sprouts were a show stopper, super rich and many different textures. The pizza was also very good, nice crust. Thin and crispy but with the right amount of chew. All in all I would go back and try other items. The fried chicken platter we saw going by looked amazing. This place is great to go for a drink (150 different beers) with a casual menu but at not so causal spin.

Culaccino has made a great task to adapt the COVID protocols. the terrace allows social distancing and the server are fast and friendly as always. make sure to book a reservation on the website in advance. I recommend the mushroom gnocchi and the...carne pizza for entrees. the fried chicken board is an amazing starter.
