Jesse’s Kitchen “La Cucina “ Italian & Indian Restaurant

My husband and I have been ordering takeout from this restaurant for a while now, and I’ve always loved their Shrimp Scampi, Hawaiian pizza, and Tiramisu. So, when planning an office function, I decided to order easy-to-eat lunch options and pizza from here—and I’m so glad I did! All of my colleagues absolutely loved the Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich and the pizza. As mentioned, the Shrimp Scampi is my go-to dish and never disappoints. The customer service was outstanding. Mr. Jesse was incredibly accommodating, especially with our tight lunch window. He made sure our order was ready for pickup right at 11:30, allowing us to enjoy our meal on time. The packaging made distribution easy, and the food was just as delicious as expected. We’ll definitely be placing another order for our next office function next week!

Jesse's kitchen La cucina was a wonderful find for us. It was our first time there and it was a great experience. The food, the service and the ambiance was excellent. We will certainly be heading back again. You should try it out too.

Dinner and service was really good!

Small portion size left me feeling cheated…and hungry. The daal soup that I ordered cost $7.95 so I was surprised when I opened up a container of maybe 6oz of soup. For that price I was expecting a bowl of soup and not barely a cup of soup. When I brought it up to the manager he was unapologetic. I am very sad about this experience because I am very unlikely to go back there. I am watching my budget too and I just won’t go back there if I am not getting sufficient value for my money. I want to support local businesses but this cost gouging doesn’t make sense.

Good service and most of our party was happy with the food. I had ravioli and sad to say it was overcooked. We had been here once before (last year) and food was great. Our friends who live in Fallbrook are regular customers. We will return- I just didn’t have a good food experience this time.

Me and my fiancé ordered the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken paired with the garlic naan eveything was delicious and steaming hot to order and the service was great it was busy and our waiter was still very attentive to us. Will be coming again can’t wait!!

Vegetarian options: This restaurant recently started offering Indian alongside Italian. Fallbrook has needed more diverse restaurants and we finally got one.

This is particularly nice as not all people like Indian- like my 4 & 5 year old kids. We are easing them in but it's such a nice relaxing meal when adults can get really great Butter chicken, tandoori chicken, lamb Tikka masala, padadam, paneer pakora, and naan, and my girls are happy with cheese pizza. Thank you to Jesse the gm for bringing flavor to Fallbrook.

I was shocked by what an amazing experience we had! The food was unbelievable. Literally everything we had was fantastic. The Eggplant Parmesean is the best I've ever had. The Gnocchi Soup was so tasty. It was freshly made with tender crip fresh vegetables and perfect gnocchi. The beef ravioli in Marsala sauce was also excellent. Super clean and nice inside with beautiful murals and such a high end atmosphere. Our server went above and beyond helping me make up my mind on what to have. I would give 10 stars if I could.
