I hosted a work dinner here for a small group and I was not disappointed! Everything we got was delicious but I specifically recommend the Carrot Cavatelli! It’s too bad that they are closing down. I am not sure why but I would definitely recommend stopping in before they close.

Grabbed dinner at Littler before seeing a show at DPAC. The restaurant is very small but comfortable. They play music from a turntable and reel to reel cassettes - nice touch. The menu is limited but has something for everyone. We had the bread which was spelt and sourdough - pricey for what you get but excellent. Our table also ordered the tomato tart, carrot cavatelli, short ribs, chocolate mousse and yuzu and lemon posset. Everything was delicious although I think the small plates are a bit expensive for the serving. Although I say the prices are a bit higher than I would like the food is very good and we will be back.

As a Philadelphian who enjoys our great food scene as well as that of NY city, this was a fabulous night of dining. A chic but relaxed vibe out done by the explosions of flavors in every dish. Michelin star worthy and look forward to finding my way back to Durham.

My wife and I visited Littler before a theater show at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The restaurant is a short, 5 to 10 minute walk to the DPAC. It's a small, cozy, and modern restaurant with simple decorations abound. We started with the Sweet Potato field starter. Wow, it was delicious. Make sure to get the sourdough bread for dipping into the olive oil with this dish. For entrees, I selected the seared scallops, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were wonderful and light. Flavors were magnificent as we shared our choices with each other. For dessert, we couldn't decide, so we got two; the chocolate chiffon cake, and yuzu & lemon posset. The chocolate mousse was about twice the size of the posset and a heavier, more filling dessert. The restaurant had wonderfully decorated restrooms with lighted candles and a modest selection of wines and cocktails. I would recommend having reservations since the establishment is small. Also, they do include a 20% gratuity on all orders, so be mindful when tipping since the final price includes the tip. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and plan to return in the future when we're back in Durham.
