Cucina ColoreGood restaurant/service but . . .3 young children and their 3-moms were nearby and the children cried-screamed the entire time we were have lunch and trying to chat - this certainly dampened our enjoyment of "our lunch"6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experienceOne of the best dining experiences I have had for awhile. Can't say enough good about this restaurant! Cuisine, service, ambiance. Cucina Colore has it all.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeGreat food, service, ambience. Highly recommended.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways reliable and deliciousI've been a loyal Cucina Calore diner for many years now. Despite changes in management and chefs over the years the food is consistently great as is the service. I love sitting on the outdoor patio when the weather permits! I especially like the chicken sandwich at lunch time and the meatless lasagna for dinner. Dessert (the peach bread pudding) is a must!!!5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Every TimeGreat neighborhood location and wonderful seafood. Special requests are fine!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways great food nicely preparedAlways great food nicely prepared and served with confidence and poise.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMFantasticHighly recommend, staff is friendly. This restaurant has great food and knows how to treat customers. Service is just as fantastic as the food.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways goodHave been here several times - always good. Their pasta-less lasagne is unusual/ excellent.
For the restaurant: 1) I made an advanced reservation for 2 - a weeknight at 7. On arriving, the only spots 'to choose from' were a small table in the bar area or the 2 top booth by the door (nosy children in next table). The two young hostesses weren't the least bit interested in my concern. Not a good first impression. 2) ongoing 'issue': food is well priced for dinner,it's a good place for a casual dinner. But winebottle prices skew high & don't match the meal 'value' . This has also been a complaint when there with a group of 6-8; wine cost way exceeds food cost - as a result the group that I dine out with doesn't like to return.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAll around great experienceTiffany, our server, provided a great recommendation for a red wine (I don't usually like reds, but her choice was great) and was very good about knowing when to check in on us and when to let us be. Food was very flavorful and smart proportionate sizes - not too small and not huge. I was surprised to see several families with young kids there as well - I wasn't anticipating that and good to know it will be an option for me to bring my own kids there sometime. Will returning to this restaurant again in the future.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious Italian GemI came here with my fiance to celebrate my birthday with what would hopefully be a yummy dinner. I was seeking a quiet romantic atmosphere and a delicious but affordable meal. It was perfect. We had a baked goat cheese appetizer, wonderful merlot wine, sausage pizza, "pastaless" lasagna (eggplant-based), and a peach bread pudding. All of these dishes were delicious - obviously fresh and high quality and also warming - still feeling the chill in the air from a recent snowstorm, this was really great. We were full and happy heading out and will definitely return. Our server was also super - she came around often to check on us but wasn't imposing and didn't try to hurry us, and also helped us well with our meal questions.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat, seafood centric italianGreat, seafood centric italian food. Good wood fired pizzas. Tasty Cioppino and cod. Good selection of 6 & 9 oz pour options on by the glass wines. Service was friendly and attentive without being pretentious or too familiar. My only negative comment is the noise level made it hard to talk to the other couple with us that night. I would eat there again if we sat at the patio.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMLots of gluten free optionsLots of gluten free options on the menu for those unfortunate ones who cannot eat it. Always an enjoyable meal at Cucina Colore.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMCombination business lunchCombination business lunch and social catch up. Easy to do both. Wait staff was attentive but not intrusive.

Great job!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMI was expecting more traditionalI was expecting more traditional Italian fare, but the food was good. They had some excellent by-the-glass wine choices, which I appreciated.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday lunch - gluten free!Celebrating a birthday. What a wonderful lunch with special attention from the kitchen and delivery by a great staff. We had a true gluten intolerant guest with us. He was so thrilled to have wonderful gluten free surprises.
Thank you to Eric our maitre d' who checked often to be sure we were having the kind of time we expected.
We'll be back!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great experience,Great food, great experience, great night! Will definitely go back. Very nice ambience. Well done!!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious, non-pretentious and funMy (false) intial expectation of Cucina Colore was it was going to be nothing special. The menu features a lot of standard Italian fare you'd expect. However, having dined here three times now (both for lunch and dinner) I do have to say the food is excellent and the staff are great, engaging and helpful. The wine selection our waiter made was great and he was attentive and super helpful, despite the fact that the place was packed on a Friday night. My dinner was prepared well and exactly what we were craving. I will be back.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWell prepared and served modernWell prepared and served modern Italian. My pork Milanese special was among the best I've experienced. The no-noodle lasagne was flavorful and quite ample.
