    Haven’t been in quite awhile. Service, drinks, and dessert were stellar. Little disappointed with entrees. But would not hesitate to return. Service alone makes the experience well worth the visit. Bartender was amazing.

    Cucina 503 is now of our favorite restaurants. We sat by the bar at a table for 4 which was nice and away from activity. Cocktails at the restaurant never disappoint. I steered away from my favorite Old Fashioned and tried the Citrus Pomegranate Martini. Delicioso! We all 4 had one of our favorites- Chicken and Mushroom Pappardelle - which is always excellent with Caesar Salads. The service was excellent with the lovely Briar (sp?) keeping us happy at the table with drinks, water, good food and a beautiful smile. Really love this place and hope they can weather through the economy and tariff war.

    Our food was fine. The menu hasn't changed since the day the place opened. Having staples is great but offer some new options please. Our entrees came out super fast - we hadn't even finished our salads (one came out late and right before the entrees) and appetizers. The table was too small to accommodate the main entrees so we sent them back to the kitchen to be kept warm. Our friend ordered the Mussels appetizer - I tasted one and they were a nice size and delicious BUT our friend ended up violently ill that evening. Not the best experience. Atmosphere is ok - depends on where you're seated. Some tables are too close together.

    One of our favorite date not places! After a long day, we were able to wind down with exquisite food and perfect cocktails. Our waitress/bartender was amazing! Can’t wait to go back.

    My husband and I visited Cucina 503 previously and it was perfect. We brought family this time. We were seated (party of 5) in the section where servers were going back and forth past us to the kitchen and bar. I didn’t look to see about the seating in the dining room, I could have asked to be moved. Our server (Kinsley) came as soon as we sat down to find out if we had looked at the menu. She almost seemed to be rushing us (in my husband’s view) which started our visit off with tension. The food was fantastic, the service was less than perfect. We had ordered an appetizer and salads, they were both delivered at the same time. Overall, the food couldn’t have been better, I wish the seating would have been more a more quiet.

    Underwhelmed and disappointed are the kindest words I can use to describe our experience, and I only use them because our server tried very hard to compensate for all the other ways Cucina 503 fell completely flat on its face. The hosts were printing out menus, so when we finally were seated, we had to wait a bit for menus…and water…and a server. I’m quite certain we didn’t get who was actually supposed to be our server, neither did the table next to us, because our server that finally arrived said, “I don’t know where she is so I guess I’ll get you.” The menus, once we received them, didn’t match the entrees for the evening. I’m super confused why everyone raves about the food. Other than the mussels, everything else was lackluster at best. Some other review compared it to Stouffer’s (I wish we would have read that sooner)— yeah, that’s accurate. I had the gnocchi, all eight of them. The lasagna was good, but the duck was meh, and green beans were cold and looked sad and shriveled. Drinks were hardly refilled…Again, our server tried his hardest, weaving in humor to lighten the mood, which was the brightest part of the night, because some host literally took one of our lamps and gave it to another table. The entire staff we encountered exuded inexperience, except our server. By the end, one of my party members stated “I would have rather gone to Olive Garden,” which barely passes for Italian food. I’m not a food critic, but I sure expect a whole lot more for that price point. Will never return.
