   It was a loud room, but more than manageable. Lamb shank was sooooogood and the bolognese was prepared to perfection. Overall just the perfect spot for our special occasion!!

   Waitress was nice but the food runner wa terrible. She left our salads on the table next to us and didn’t say a word.... the food smelled much better than it tasted.

   Cucina was a great spot for my partner’s birthday dinner. It had just enough elegance without being pretentious, and the decor and layout made the restaurant feel like we were dining in someone’s farmhouse. The food was really worth writing home about. We do not go out to eat Italian food much because it is often of low quality and is overpriced. Cucina was well worth the money, however, and the price point was pretty spot on. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. We highly recommend the pastas. The service was only worth 4 stars as we there were many servers, but we still had to wait quite a while to get a waiter’s attention to order and ask for the check.

   The restaurant lived up to the rating. Took my bother-in-law and sister there for the last of his 60th birthday celebrations before heading to The Colony for a concert. What a cute bar and dining area. Make a reservation to assure a seat! The specials were great! Our waitresses was very informed and very professional. Looking forward to a return visit.

   The food and atmosphere were wonderful. Our waiter was incredibly pleasant but unfortunately seemed to be responsible for too many tables and it made the service slow. Otherwise an excellent evening and would love to come back.

   Went upstate to Woodstock, NY for a couple days, and Cucina was a great dinner choice. It was close to where we were staying and was easy to get to. The food was great and the service was outstanding. Thank you Cucina.

   Great restaurant with an interesting menu. Everything i prepared fresh, and from the appetizers, to pizzas, to main courses everything was delicious. I especially appreciated the ambiance which was unique. The service could have been better, but our server had multiple tables assigned so it was somehow understandable. Value for money was good, I went for dinner with my girlfriend and we ate so much we couldn't order the dessert. Recommended!!

    I tried the eggplant appetizer. It was under seasoned on very hard and chewy toast. I was unimpressed and hopeful that my main dish would be better and I was not disappointed. I chose the roasted salmon. It was juicy and flavorful. My son chose the chicken Parmesan with linguine. Sadly it too was under-seasoned rendering it rather insipid. Under seasoned pasta is a bit like eating cardboard. We enjoyed the cozy warm interior and the service was great despite the Friday night rush of guests. However the food was just so so.
