We tried the brunch and it was so delicious. All of the staff were super friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back to eat here.

I grew up in the Northeast (Boston) and was very accustomed to good Italian.Been to Pasta Cucina on several occasions. They always knock it out of the park. Food comes out hot and fresh. You can tell it is hand prepared unlike the freezer bags at Olive Garden.Only knock is the bartender (sat at bar) had personality of a hemorrhoid. Aside from that, a great culinary experience.

I am very disappointed to have to say this because it’s one of my favorite restaurants, but we had a pretty undesirable experience tonight. We stay the Sunset station all the time and eat at all of the restaurants here frequently. We love the food at Pasta Cucina and we usually have a great experience with the staff. We are here for work from out of town very often and we work 10 hour days, so we are always happy to get off work and enjoy a good meal. We made sure to get there as soon as we could, at least 30 minutes before close for their late night happy hour. As soon as we sat down, the bartender made it very clear that he was extremely busy and very put out. We were very kind and said no worries. He let us know that they would be closing in a half an hour, as to let us know we needed to hurry. We ordered immediately as to accommodate their closing. He was very rude and made it clear that he was ready to get out of there. Our food is always good here and tonight was no exception, but we ate it so fast we didn’t even enjoy it, and brought most of it back to our room to eat cold. It was a very uncomfortable situation. If they are going to advertise happy hour from eight until close then when I get there at 8:30 I should be made to feel welcome and not rushed. We will be back, but I don’t think I will be sitting in the bar anymore if this particular bartender is working. It’s too bad that one person can make for a bad experience. It’s your job dude. Do it well or not at all. I usually tip heavy, but not tonight.

Food cold - we had looked forward to Sunday brunch, nice menu and pleasant atmosphere. Extremely disappointed- poor service and when we finally received our meal it was cold. French toast so hard to eat - almost impossible to cut.

Our servers were amazing, friendly, attentive and fast. Fun, cute place but a bit loud. Wouldn't eat there again because of the food, or would try just pizza and salad.

The wonderful fresh baked bread was better when it was glazed with salt. It's bland now. The wine selection by the glass is good, but I wish they'd add a red blend or red Zinfandel.

Food was delicious ? amazing service Bonito And Kat.
We ordered only a bowl of soup & a salad, but waited 20 minutes to be served tonight. It wasn't too crowded and this is not the normal wait for such a small item of food. Disappointed.

I sat at the bar on a Monday night for the 8 for 8. I thoroughly enjoyed my small bites with a glass of Merlot. A great bite of affordable elegance!

Pasta Cucina is one my favorite local spots, specially for happy hour.However, this one particular time I was disappointed. I ordered the Lasagna al Forno, and it tasted like canned spaghettios! No bolognese sausage, no ricotta, no parmesan, no mozarella....Spaghettios!Oh, and served on a skillet, which gave it a burned Spaghettios taste.C'mon!So, in summary, I don't recommend the Lasagna al Forno.
Staff were very good from our arrival with seating us to our table. Waiters were attentive and food was very well prepared. We are "snow birds" and have dined at this brunch several times since you started this monthly event which I hope will continue.
We were running late but they called and said they would save our table. Prompt service. Staff very friendly and energetic. Good sized food portions. Well balanced flavor. One of our favorite spots.

The food is always good. The service was not good. The waitress dropped our food off and did not come back to refill our drinks or ask how our food was. 30 minutes later she said she would get our check. I went to the bathroom and came back and she still had not brought it. Drinks with the bartender are always perfect. He is a great bartender.

Used to be such a good place, now slipping more every time I go. Prices continue to rise, though. Had to send back both entrees served. Braised short ribs were not tender, or tasty for that matter, and the lasagne came burnt on top and sides. Replacement lasagne was better, and instead of the short ribs, tried the Branzino, which was weak and the sides with it terrible.

This restaurant is awesome! We have been here 3 times, and the food, service & staff are the best! The food is delicious and the portions are generous. It's best to call or go online to reserve a table.
