1. Little Bull

4.7

Exceptional(1088)

$$$$

• Fusion / Eclectic • Durham

Booked 48 times today

Little Bull is sincere, nostalgic comfort food, inspired by the palates of first-generation immigrant kids. Pocho cuisine is not a gimmick. Like Oscar, it’s a little bull-headed, but with no bullshit. It means more than loaded terms like “New American” or “modern Mexican.” And it’s authentic to Chef’s personal experience.“American food is undefined. But it’s been designated to certain ideas and people. It’s actually evolving, as much as our landscape is a melting pot. As much as my own identity as a first-generation American and chef.”Pocho started as a term used by people in Mexico to poke fun at the “American” kids who speak Spanglish. At Little Bull, pocho cuisine showcases the evolution of being a chef in America, inspired by every immigrant and their growing influence on our food.

Giorgios Bakatsias' inspiration behind his newest concept, Osteria Georgi, stems from a deep appreciation for his dear friend- the late, great George Tarantini, an Italian native and beloved soccer coach for NC state University, well-known for his love and respect for hospitality. Osteria reflects the passion behind Italian cuisine and culture- a daily celebration of life while gathering around a shared table, of enjoying the beauty in simply prepared hand-made pasta, locally sourced ingredients and vibrant flavors, in having gratitude for the local farmers, fisherman, and artisans from which it all came, and always- a love for great company.

The small plates were tasty and filling. My husband and I ordered 3 of them and made a dinner of them. The cocktails hit the spot.

The food and atmosphere made for a really nice, laid-back dining experience. Finding the restaurant was a little tricky at first, but the hostess was friendly and helped guide us in the right direction. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the food we ordered was well-prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server was just okay, but the overall experience more than made up for it. Despite a few minor hiccups, we'd absolutely come back. It's a great spot for a relaxed date night, especially if you're looking for good sushi and a chill atmosphere!
