    This is our go-to restaurant for special occasions AND when we want a really nice meal. The Carbonara is always outstanding, the mussels were a generous serving and hubby's lamb special was amazing! Britney, our server, made my birthday extra special! *we come early so a bit more quiet, but the atmosphere for those waiting for their table was more of a party rather than the usual people looking at their watch for how long they've been waiting.

    This is a great little Italian restaurant. Staff was super nice, professional and did what they could to make the meal great. Food portions are fair and prices are reasonable. Chef's special rack of lamb, was great. Everything we ordered was perfect and tasty. Our group was not disappointed. Chef even prepared us requested dish that was not on the menu

    In a word, charming. In many more words - delicious, delightful, and hearty rustic dishes that will please almost every appetite. We sampled the ravioli and bruschetta of the day, the lemon chicken parpadelle, and the lobster risotto. Both entrees were on point. As we fought over the last piece of pasta - the chef paid a visit to our table to check on his work. Nice touches all around - including a modest but thoughtful wine list to compliment every meal.

    We ate at Cucina on Thursday night, a lovely dinner, great service and decided to go back on Sunday night. The service was minimal we had to keep asking for silverware, etc. and the food was just OK. Kind of disappointed..
