Cucina Moon is an Italian restaurant located above the McCully Shopping Center. The space is small, cozy, and welcoming, with a fun ambience great for date night or intimate conversations. The kitchen is open at the back, allowing guests to see the food being made. The staff is sweet, attentive, super helpful, and welcoming, offering quick service.
The food is delicious and fresh, delivering really Italian dishes. The fresh pastas have unbeatable flavor depth and are perfectly portioned, appearing small but actually filling. Favorites include the spicy carbonara, which is creamy with a good kick of spice, the gnocchi with fresh cream and prosciutto, the garlic shrimp tomato cream, and the spaghetti bolognese, described as a garlic bomb with a noticeable portion of meat. The squid ink pasta is rich, savory, and cooked perfectly al dente. Other standout items are the burrata cheese appetizer, the mozzarella and tomato appetizer with incredibly fresh and creamy cheese, the delicious house salad, and the soft garlic bread great for dipping. The honey cheese pizza is also noted as delicious. While most experiences are positive, some note the carbonara can be a bit too rich and the gnocchi not as soft as hoped. The online ordering system can sometimes be frustrating. Overall, it is a fun place with great food and a cozy vibe.
