    A $60 price for a special is a bit outrageous. Not even lobster! Put prices on your specials. Expected $40 or $45 for salmon, not $60.

    La Cucina delivers every time. Our apps and entrees were all perfectly prepared, and it’s a BYO. Our server, Gideon was on top of everything we needed. Great food, great service and overall, a great night out with friends.

    Sat outside. Our evening started with our server, Tony. Pleasant, professional. Water, bread etc arrived right away. Entire staff that took care of our table were great. Enjoyed the Calamai with hot peppers appetizer. Enjoyed the Flounder special and the Branzino. Ended evening with a very good Lemon cello cake. A nice night.

    We have dined here several times and have yet to be disappointed. The food has always been very good, with a very pleasing presentation. The staff have been friendly, efficient and accommodating. We had Tony for the first time who was very nice and Gideon, who has waited on us several times, was nearby and was just as accommodating to other guests as he was to us in the past. Definitely one of our favorite spots in the area!
