Always enjoy our dinners at Cucina. The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed our table outside! Their Cucina salad is great ... and we also enjoyed the lasagna and shrimp scampi this time! We had a 4-legged friend with us and our server even took care of her and brought her some water. We'll be back soon!

It was our second visit and we had the wonderful opportunity to have Kinsley as our server again! Food was spot on. We will def be back!
Nicola
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.

Rhese Butler was the best busboy OAT. He was so nice polite and efficient at his job. 5/5 will come again only because of the GOAT Rhese.

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.

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.

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.

The food was amazing. The drinks were great. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating. Great place.

Know its Masters week, but we had a reservation for 7:45. When we checked in they told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We saw in the bar patiently waiting until I went up to the hostess as she was trying to give our table to a party that just walked in. We finally sat and ordered. Then another 30-45 mins before getting our main dishes, never receiving our starters or salads. Then didn't see the waiter again.

Not a great experience. dined here on recommendations in Open Table. Sorry that we did. Arrived for our reservation - table of 2. Hostess wanted to seat up at the table right inside the door - where one of us would have been by anyone entering. We asked for a different table and she agreed to move us to the other side one table in from the door. Wow - she said they had lots of reservations and had no other space for us. This is despite that there was only 1 other 4 top occupied in the front room when we got there. We split a Caesar salad to start. Wait staff mentioned that it was not large to share but seriously- what we got was 6 leaves of Romain, some parm shavings, some break crumbles and a cheese crisp. It was tasty but the portion size was ridiculous. Staff pushed several time to get us to place our entree order - even though there were not many people in the place. Felt like we were being rushed. Neither entree was very good at all. One pasta dish where son said it had a strange background flavor. I ordered the Lamb Shank - first bite was OK - downhill after that. Lamb was dry and overcooked. Pairing it with chick peas was really odd - they were very dry. It was like the Chef was experimenting with something and it just didn't work. I honesty cannot recommend this place at all. We did not enjoy ourselves.
