With gluten-free options, we have happy hour menu Monday - Friday.

    We were celebrating a special dinner with a guest in town from Oregon. This was our first time to visit this restaurant, which is unassuming-looking from the outside but cozy inside. The food, wine and service were excellent.

    I had the salmon with risotto, and it was perfect! The risotto was done just right as was the salmon. This is a great neighborhood restaurant. Service is exemplary.

    Cucina Bella is an undiscovered neighborhood restaurant. Stella menu and very nice service. Take advantage of the Sunday $35 special. The breakfast menu is a new surprise.

    A fantastic restaurant!!!! The food was both authentic and of the highest quality, the service was great and they had a great bar. Last night was our first visit and never expected the restaurant to be so good. For us it was a great new neighborhood discovery.

    We like Cucina Bella because it is a neighborhood gem and not a chain restaurant The food is wonderful and of high quality. The restaurant is small, but cute, with a homey feel. The wait staff is excellent, service is prompt, and the selection is varied.

    This family owned Italian restaurant is a very nice place to eat. I've eaten here about a dozen times over the years. The value is excellent & the menu extensive. We ate here yesterday & the service was good, my mashed potatoes served with the chicken piccata were cold on the inside & the meal came out before I was 1/2 wat thru my salad. Overall, I still recommend it, the restaurant needs to be more consistent in their food. Their Sunday 3 course option is a great value.

    We had been to Cucina Bella several times prior to this visit and had a nice experience. Unfortunately, we brought our guests here and were seated next to a crying child and some loud adults. We couldn't hold a conversation with all the noise around us. It was very unpleasant. We would think twice before returning.

    This was my 3rd trip to Cucina Bella, and I really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, as was the service. This is a neighborhood gem! As they get busy after 6pm I would recommend reservations.

    It was my first time at Cucina Bella. The food was great and the service was attentive and helpful in making suggestions. It was a birthday celebration and we will go back.
