Ariccia Cucina

What a wonderful find....we stumbled upon this amazing restaurant and we will be frequent customers.
Everything was perfect. Our waitress Erin provided a detailed description of each item we had questions about. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to us. The food was amazing. We will definitely be returning.

We love coming here! The food and service is always top notch even when super busy.

Chef Miguel has done an amazing job with the menu. The food is fresh and delicious and is accompanied by great service! Southern hospitality with delicious Italian food. Pastas are fresh/made-in-house and desserts are to die for!

The meal was amazing. A lot better than it was a few years ago! They’re doing something right!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere!
Very upscale and good for people watching restaurant.

We had eight guys from Hilton Head Island on a golf trip to the Grand National Resort and ate dinner at Ariccia Cucina one night. Staff was very welcoming, ambiance was pleasant and food was excellent. We got good value for our money and all deemed the evening a great success.

The experience was great! Definitely recommend this restaurant for all occasions. Thanks to Stephen our server for being well versed with the menu and recommending the right wine to have with my dinner.

Pizza was warm, but not hot. No refill on iced tea.

The waiter was clueless about most things we asked about like drink specials and information on the menu. She was missing in action most of the time. So much so that we ordered two drinks at a time because you never knew when she was coming back.

We had an error with or order. My dinner was wrong. Did not see our server for a while, but a manager came by and said she would correct it. I finally got my correct dinner but had to wait for a while. We always eat here on Friday evenings when we come in for football games but was disappointed this week.

Food was good, service was horrible. Waiter basically ignored us. Never checked on us and someone else delivered our food. The food tasted good but probably won’t be coming back due to poor service.

Delicious food always prepared to perfection. Excellent wait staff. Quiet. Great restaurant!

This was our first visit for double birthday celebration. The ambience was very nice and our server, Erin had a great personality. We ordered fried cauliflower and arancini for appetizers and both were delivered room temp. The flavors were good but should have been nice and hot. We also ordered carpaccio which was quite nice. The focaccia bread was perfect!

Entrees just weren’t impressive at all. I had a. $32 16oz ribeye special. The entire meal was a steak and french fries, which again were delivered room temp. I finally sent something back and the fries were very good, steak was just OK, not worth being called a “special”. My daughter in law had chicken piccata and the chicken was way overcooked. My wife added grilled shrimp to a veggie ravioli dish and they also had to be sent back as they were room temp.

The sommelier was knowledgeable and sadly the wine was the best part of the dinner.

Was really hoping to find an Italian place we could visit often, but this wont be it.

We like to dine here, when we are visiting our son at Auburn. The pasta is amazing and the filets are delicious.

Wonderful food

Always love dining at Ariccia! Fantastic food and service, Erin was fantastic!

We had a dinner reservation but were asked to wait a few minutes, which was fine, until we were led to a table that had been unoccupied and was set the entire time we waited. It was just steps inside the entry and I couldn't even sit down because the waitress was waiting on the adjacent table. I just stood there awkwardly for a couple of minutes and then was able to sit. I felt like I was in the lap of the party of four behind me. I pointed to another nearby two top but was told it was reserved. The hostess must have sensed that I was unhappy because a manager arrived promptly to seat us at the other table. Our original table was never occupied during our meal. They tried to seat another couple there but they refused. That said, the food and service were great and it is one of my favorite places to eat when visiting AU. It was Family Weekend so I understand they were in demand. We came back the next day for brunch and I wasn't even staying in the hotel. The brunch items were great and I thought it was a very good value. We will return.

My daughter and I very much enjoyed our brunch! We will definately be returning!

Was a busy night - food seemed like it sat under a lamp for a while. Pasta dishes were hard and dry. Waitstaff was great.

Waitress was unattentive and awkward

Auburn Football weekend

We were here for my birthday. The food was so delicious, the price was so good for the quality, and the staff was wonderful and accommodating, they even gave me a card and dessert. Highly recommend.

The Hornsby Farms pasta dish was amazing!!!

The food was excellent. The vibe and environment was wonderful as well. Service was perfect .

Amazing! The mussel fries were out of this world. It was so unique!

Just loved Ariccia Cucina on our last two visits to Auburn visiting our son at college. This will be a staple for our many forthcoming visits. The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the food is sublime. Michelle S.

Excellent food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere! We went for Sunday brunch and had a great experience! We will definitely be going back soon!

The food was great, the service was slow though. I would go back in hopes it was just an off night that was busier than most.

After driving around in the parking lot, we found out that valet parking is free with dinner. There was no street or lot parking nearby. It was crowded, but the service was great. It does get loud, but it wasn't a problem. The food was good but the sides they listed as to share were small. The spinach with tomatoes had about 1 tablespoon of greens and a bunch of tomatoes. The fried cauliflower tasted more roasted than fried, but both were very good. The pasta was perfectly al dente. My daughter's alfredo sauce wasn't very flavorful, but everyone else's was great. All the desserts we tried were delicious as well. Except for a few hiccups, it was great. We will go back next time we're in town.

Our server was Danni or Danielle and she did an excellent job of helping us celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. Everything was excellent!

I recommend to other people to visit there during lunch time or brunch.

Service was horrible to be an upscale restaurant. Very limited menu. How can an Italian restaurant not have any pasta dishes. Very Disappointed.

Host was very understanding when I called to say we would be 15 min late for our reservation. The atmosphere (despite being in the Auburn Hotel and Conference Center) was warm and inviting. It has a very upscale feel. The food was excellent

It was busy but our waiter just disappeared. We had to track him down to order dessert and then again to pay.

We had a terrible experience tonight. We arrived 5 minutes early and were promptly set. It took 10 minutes for us to get a water and place a drink order. We sat for another 20 minutes waiting on our drinks. We spent 30 minutes and were never served. We gave up and left and went to a different restaurant in Auburn.

W always enjoy Ariccia Cucin, however it is much more difficult to get there now. This is not the fault of the restaurant but due to all the construction around the hotel and in downtown Auburn. The valet service is quick and friendly and is the only way to go. The food is always good and it is a lovely place to have dinner.

Great lunch. Had the Brussels sprout spinach salad with shrimp. It was so amazing. Love this restaurant and hotel. Great waitress- Lauren!!!

It was our first time there and the staff was really good! The drinks we great and the food was fabulous! I am from an Italian family so going out to eat Italian doesn't happen very often because we do it better, but Ariccia was very authentic. I definitely hope we can go back before we leave.

The server and hostess greeted us with Happy Anniversary and presented us with a card signed by the whole staff. The service was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was top notch. We were also comped desserts of our choice. Overall a wonderful meal and evening for a special occasion.

Very attentive staff. Excellent food and would eat there again
