   Darling little Italian place that would otherwise be tough to find out about without opentable. Pasta was great, served steaming hot and the flavors were all spot on -- we had the penne bolognese and grilled pineapple pizza. The pizza was just a touch undercooked (likely just because it has fresh chunks of wet/heavy pineapple on it) but delicious. All the pizza toppings are fun and unique which we appreciated. Tony was so warm and welcoming and service was great. We will be back.

   We go every other week. We try new dishes each time. The food is very good, the service is great, and they have the best chocolate gelato there is!

   Although I had a disappointing lunch there a couple of months ago, my recent dinner was excellent. The carpaccio was especially good and I really enjoyed the diavola pizza. Service was very good.

    It's a nice restaurant in a strip mall. I enjoy excellent food for a fair price. The chicken piccata was good but not excellent, it is usually thin medallions & this was a thick chicken breast. If the salad or soup were included for the price $25, I would feel it was acceptable but not for $5/$11 extra on top of the entrée cost. The soup was excellent. I would try it again & order a pasta dish to see if I like it better.

    First visit was very good, this time didn't like my dish and didn't eat it. Was not asked if I wanted something else (I would have paid) and not offered desert menu. Music quite loud and on replay replay replay. But I'll try again.

    It was very crowded the night we were there and therefore noisy. The food was good although my fettuccini was very oily. The others in our group enjoyed the salmon dinner.

    Very happy to discover this neighborhood place. Food was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was the best. Our service was great, but got a bit slow after we decided to order dessert. Don't quite understand why we had to wait so much longer for the peach bread pudding - also delicious - and then our bill, but otherwise a very good experience. Excited to try their pizza.

    My husband and I tried the newly established Italian restaurant in Denver’s restaurant week and to our surprise the food were great. I had salmon over orzo with saffron and asparagus. The salmon was cooked to perfection! The desert we chose to share was peach pudding ala mode, highly recommended!

    What a pleasant surprise! The Brussels sprouts were my favorite so far ever. The mustard type sause with pomegranate seeds was the perfect compliment. The seared salmon was tasty abs cooked to perfection. Penne bolognese was top notch too! Everything about the experience was excellent. We are from out of state & I chose this restaurant from reviews online. I’d say definitely give this new place a chance! Service and the food were 5 stars!

    Looking for a good neighborhood Italian kitchen. We moved into the area from Bonnie Brae and was a frequent visitor of Viale but now I think we found a place closer to where we live now. There are definitely more things on the menu that I need to try. The Lasagna looked tremendous as did the pasta bolognese. Good value and great tasting food

    Everyone wants to find that neighborhood place with the best undiscovered chef. We’ve found it at Cucina Bella. Amazing food; decent prices; wonderful service. We live around the corner & just wanted a simple salad & pizza. Amazing! Bruce, our waiter was attentive & funny without being clingy. He made some great recommendations for wine, salad & pizza. Chef Luis was generous with the pizza toppings! And you cannot leave without having the peach budino for dessert. This is without a doubt our newest, favorite neighborhood gem!

    We arrived at Cucina Bella at noon for a noon reservation. Greeted warmly at the door and sat immediately. Our seats accommodated a large service dog, Mr. Charlie. Our server arrived at our table in a timely manner, as did our food and drinks. Food was hot and delicious. Very nice experience. Thank you.

    Great night out with friends. First time for us. Will return. After dinner, Requested Limoncello liquor from the waitress. I’m not sure she understood i was asking for a beverage. She insisted they did not have it. Would be nice to have after a delicious Italian meal.

    Cucina BellaResponded on January 29, 2023Thank you Kathleen for your review . We do have Pallini Limoncello behind the bar and on our menu. It's a favorite and the first listed under our Amaros, Apertifs, and Liqueurs section We also feature it on our Classic Cocktail section under Lemon Gin Martini with Beefeater and Pallini Limoncello. Sorry there was mis-communication- We serve a lot of Pallini;) and we look forward to serving it to you on your next visit with friends or family. Mangia e Bevi Team Cucina Bella

    Friendliness of staff, service and food was excellent. It would have been nice to have bread provided at no charge and less expensive wine options. I ordered chicken picatta which was excellent and the portion was too much. I would have rather had bread and another glass of wine than bring home a chicken breast left over.
