What a wonderful dining experience.
Not only were the food, service, and atmosphere phenomenal, but the attitude of the waitstaff was unsurpassed. They truly care about the customers and want them to come back.

Found this place last minute and loved it, Service was excellent, ambiance was great, and food portions were plentiful and food was super tasty. Special was rack of lamb which was cooked perfect. Zuppa de Mare was full of flavor with plenty of seafood. Veal was super sized and tasty with desserts just as great

Every part of our dinner experience was great. The professional, efficient and fun service provided by our server, Liam was exceptional. Many thanks!

In a word, charming. In many more words - delicious, delightful, and hearty rustic dishes that will please almost every appetite. We sampled the ravioli and bruschetta of the day, the lemon chicken parpadelle, and the lobster risotto. Both entrees were on point. As we fought over the last piece of pasta - the chef paid a visit to our table to check on his work. Nice touches all around - including a modest but thoughtful wine list to compliment every meal.

Really a nice evening out. Service and food were top notch. A variety of creative Italian options on the menu. Wine selection was not large but quality choices. Overall we were delighted with the experience!

We ate at Cucina on Thursday night, a lovely dinner, great service and decided to go back on Sunday night. The service was minimal we had to keep asking for silverware, etc. and the food was just OK. Kind of disappointed..

The food was GREAT! And the service was medicore. The atmosphere was very nice at the beginning of our dinner. It's a very small and cozy restaurant, and they sat us upstairs. We were up stairs with only one other couple having dinner. Then comes a party of 15 with 6 of them being children. Extremely loud and rude. Kids were running up and down the stairs and staff did nothing to ask them to quiet down. We were visiting from NH and this was supposed to be a couples night out just my wife and I. I'm sure this isn't the norm for Cucina, but staff should have asked politely to control their kids and quiet down while people are trying to enjoy their dinner. It turned out to be a McDonald's atmosphere in the end. Very nice and relaxing in the beginning. Just could have been handled a bit better by staff.
