Cucina South in Amelia Island offers a cozy, quiet atmosphere with attentive service. The restaurant serves a variety of Italian dishes, including chicken piccatta and veal marsala, which are generally enjoyed, though some dishes like veal may be overcooked at times. The Chef's stuffed Mahi and Castellani Pinot Grigio are highly recommended. The food is fresh and tasty, with particular praise for the eggplant parmigiana, pasta, and seafood zuppa, which are flavorful and well-portioned. Recent visits have shown improvements in food quality, with dishes like tender short ribs and delicious pasta carbonara receiving high praise. The pasta was so good that one guest asked where it was sourced and even ordered some for home. The restaurant features friendly staff, including servers who are professional, warm, and attentive, making guests feel welcomed and cared for. The atmosphere can be lively, with noise levels sometimes making conversation challenging, and some bread items may be stale. Overall, Cucina South is a decent spot for Italian food with friendly staff and good prices, which are very reasonable for Amelia Island. Improvements in consistency and noise levels could make the experience even better.
