Auburn

About the restaurant

Inspired by a hilltop town of palaces, vineyards and poets, Ariccia Cucina is a modern Italian escape. Small plates of arancini and fresh bruschetta to share, herbs tucked into slow-roasted porchetta, vino bianca and rosso on the tables, conversations buzzing and glasses clinking—at long last, a taste of authentic Italy. Our large open kitchen invites you into an exciting culinary world. The cozy fireside lounge or bar are great places to relax after work with a delicious drink and appetizer from the Bar Menu. Or catch up with friends and enjoy beautiful weather with al fresco dining on the open-air patio.

We had a really nice dining experience. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. The food, catch of the day, and Grouper flirentine was superb! If you go to a Casino I do not understand why you would eat fast food instead of trying this fine dining on the 3rd floor. Use some points and spend it on a nice meal. That machine will still be there, believe me. Itta Bena in Montgomery or Firehouse in WindCreek Atmore are hard to beat!

Celebrated my wife’s birthday. The boys and I had great meals. My wife got the filet and said it was cooked perfectly and one of the best she had ever had. The tiramisu was a nice finish as well. Anna did an exceptional job serving us and we will be asking for her in the future. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience overall. Being honest the food was wonderful, just (for my taste) a tad over-seasoned. I had the steak tips and shrimp. The steak was perfectly medium rare and delicious. The shrimp was a bit too seasoned for me but very good. I am probably picky about peppery seasoning and will ask for less another time. My husband had Tom’s Choice and enjoyed his Birthday dinner very much. Dessert was fabulous and the service from Deidra exceptional, friendly and some of the best we’ve had anywhere.
