Booked a date night with my wife and baby and we had an excellent time. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great with us being placed in a cozy back corner with lots of space feeling private, and our server Tommika was super friendly and accommodating.

Great lunch specials as always! Great service and a good place to have a business lunch. Even though it's close seating and loud, there is space for confidential conversations.

Went for breakfast every day while in Clagery as the hotel breakfast was not in our package ! What a godsend that was we walked down the street found a cafe where they would not take a verbal order just put it in the I pad well as we are both over 65 we do not do that, so we walked and found this place and the staff were excellent the choice was great and the food very good however the staff made this place very good

Very nice looking and clean restaurant. It's quite small so I would recommend making a reservation. The food was very tasty. I am a pescatarian and had the Kale salad and the salmon. Both dishes were very tasty. Did not try the desserts.

I’m sad to say that Cucina, once one of our favorite spots, has gone significantly downhill. Our recent experience was very disappointing. We had a reservation for 9 people during lunch, made well in advance. We arrived at 11:40 AM, but our food didn’t come out until 1:20 PM. Watching other tables, including those who arrived long after us, receive and finish their meals while we were still waiting was frustrating and awkward. By the time our food arrived, lunch service was practically over, and the delay had us all concerned about being late for our afternoon commitments. When we politely asked about our food, the manager’s dismissive and rude response—that our group was large—felt like they were blaming us rather than taking responsibility. If they can’t handle large groups, they really shouldn’t accept such reservations.
The most baffling part was the treatment of one of our orders—a salad. It was made right away and left sitting on the counter, visible from our table, for about an hour until the rest of the meals were ready. Yes, an entire hour! When our dishes finally arrived, they still served this sad, stale salad. Of course, we had it sent back and asked for it to be redone.
As for the food itself, it was a mixed bag, but mostly disappointing. While the dishes were served hot and the chicken was well-prepared, everything else fell flat. The salmon was fresh, but the accompanying sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans were bland and lacked seasoning. On the flip side, the pasta dishes were overly salty. The conchiglie with braised beef and pancetta had poorly balanced flavors, while the bucatini with sausage was nearly inedible due to excessive salt, overpowering the delicate prawns in the dish.
The manager eventually applied a 10% discount for the delays, but it felt like too little, too late. Worse, the lack of an apology or any genuine acknowledgment of the inconvenience left a bitter taste. Sadly, this experience has convinced us not to return. Cucina is simply not what it used to be, and that’s a real shame.

Stopped in at 11:30 am for lunch for 4. Was offered only the poorest of seating. We were nicely dressed gentleman and kind. But there was no way we could get to be seated in an acceptable place. SO WE LEFT.
I am blown away by my experience here. An elegant little restaurant seemingly set in a black and white motif. Very well appointed, clean and comfortable.
I'm not much of a burger person but was told by a friend I should try Cucina's and were they ever right! Probably the best burger I have had anywhere in Calgary. We also sampled the tagliatelle Bolognese and it was absolutely beautiful.
Our server was Peter and he was polite professional, knowledgeable and prompt.
This is my new favorite spot in Calgary. I highly, highly recommend that you give it a try.

Wonderful quaint atmosphere. Once you walk in the door it feels like you are no longer in Calgary and have quickly travelled to Italy. Easy to enjoy a conversation with tables spaced apart and well laid out. The food and service is next level. Great location for couples, business or when you are looking for a higher level dining experience.

Cucina is by far one of the best restaurants in Calgary. Their menu flows with the seasons which makes every dish so flavour! The service is exceptional and the restaurant is such a vibe.
