This was our 2nd time at Cucina's. First time was by happenstance that we ended up there. We were blown away. We have been talking about going back ever since. The food is excellent, service excellent, with a delightful atmosphere. We were celebrating a friend's Birthday which they made extra special and we were surprised by our amazing server Dave with the BEST Tiramisu. We had the grilled artichokes, the Focaccia bread, Crab fingers, mista salad with their home made dressing and the creamy truffle pasta dish with shrimp and mushrooms. The after dinner decaf cappuccino was a nice touch with the tiramisu. We felt like we were in Italy. They also had a piano player that added to the ambiance. I can't say enough nice things about this place, we love it! Oh and bonus Al the owner was there, a true Italian. Can hardly wait to go back!

Disappointed given all the positive reviews. Was really excited to try this place. Unfortunately, if you can’t even make a hot and flavorful bolognese, that is not a good sign. Pretty basic expectations of an Italian restaurant Probably won’t be back.

Thank you for trying us. When we got to your table you said half of your bolognese was hot and the other was cold which is against all laws of physics! yet we apologized to you even we understood you took your time on the other half thus got cold. We even bought your meal and offered you another dish, all and all you were ok and later you decide we are not worthy! Thank you once again and have a gear day and pleasure serving you. Regards,

We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s exactly what we were looking for to celebrate a birthday. Our server (Ashley) was very attentive and took great care of us. The food came out and looked amazing. However, the flavors were just okay, nothing outstanding. There is a place we like whose prices are comparable, but the food is much more flavorful.

This place is a gem. Same owner who brought Uno's to the 360 and Westlake drive location. The food was outstanding. The warm burrata was delicious. And the gluten free options are really enticing. Great service and very knowledgeable wait staff. Will be back for sure!

We rolled the dice and chose Italian Cucina for a quick dinner. We started with the Bruschetta (gluten free bread was available) and it was very good. I chose the wild mushroom risotto and it was piping hot,cooked perfectly and the flavor was phenomenal. My husband chose the chicken piccata and he too really enjoyed it. We will be back for sure.

This was a gem of a find! Our server Vickie was very accommodating. We ordered the meatballs & foccacia bread for starters. Then we ordered the chicken piccata and chicken marsala-both equally amazing! We will definitely return!
