Food service and drinks were all 5 star. Seafood was very fresh and you get salad and bread

This was the best, most authentic Italian food I’ve ever had! You will never be able to return to “Italian” like Olive Garden again after having this! The bread was amazing and the pasta was perfect. I will be back for sure! The kids meals were huge, they lasted my kids 3-4 meals each. My husband said it was hands down the best lasagna he’s ever eaten. You need a reservation but they got us in right away since we got there right as they opened.

A friend recommended we come for dinner after visiting the Planetarium. The service was great. The food was good & ample sized portions. The salads were just 'Ok'. My only complaint was the smell of the fresh parmesan cheese. It was too strong for me, but my husband was fine with it.

Been trying to get in touch with a manager for 2 weeks. No response, left messages with staff and have received no call back. When given a number to call to speak with the manager it’s a bad number.

The entrées were all tasty and plentiful enough to take home half for another great meal of reheats. Both the included Caesar salad and garden salad were well prepared, as was the fresh warm garlic and herb bread. The wine was very reasonably priced. The bill for three of us was just over $100 with a generous tip.
Our go-to place when at Sunset Beach. Fresh, authentic Italian food and excellent service. Small place. Highly recommend reservations.

A Class Act and Unforgettable Evening We chose La Cucina Italian Restaurant in Sunset Beach, NC, to celebrate my in-laws’ anniversary—a date filled with warmth and gentle sorrow, as we lost my father-in-law 15 years ago. It was more than a meal; it was deeply meaningful. The evening began wonderfully with La Cucina’s irresistible garlic bread. Our entrees were equally outstanding. My mother-in-law and I enjoyed the hearty Baked Stuffed Shells Bolognaise. My husband loved the flavorful rich, creamy Shrimp Gorgonzola, my sisters-in-law loved the zesty Homemade Italian Sausage and Shrimp Ala Vino. What truly elevated our evening was our server, Karina. Her warmth, authenticity, and genuine kindness made us feel special and valued. Karina’s personable charm and attentive care turned our gathering into something special. The highlight came at the end when Karina surprised us with a generous, complimentary piece of decadent Tiramisu after overhearing our anniversary conversation. This thoughtful gesture deeply touched us, especially following a contrasting experience the previous night at another local restaurant, where, despite our longstanding relationship, we were charged for a disappointing dessert. La Cucina, particularly Karina, provided exceptional food and heartfelt hospitality. Other restaurants could learn from their example of genuine care and kindness! We'll certainly return soon and often.

Lovely Italian spot, probably the best through the Myrtle Beach area in terms of food quality. Reservations definitely recommended, they were able to take my two small children and 4 adults at a table. The children's meals were large and my kids loved them. Veal Francaise was delicious and I really loved the marinara sauce and meatballs. Calamari was ok, a little lackluster in flavor, but certainly fresh. Service was wonderful to my kids and accommodating our tables needs. Lovely meal
