Chicken Parm - yum. Four cheese gnocchi - off the charts. House wine - wonderful. Service - woo hoo. Charming.

We started our meal with an apereol spritz and a beer and an order of Arancini .The Arancini were generous in size and very good. The Aperol Spritz was generous and refreshing.Cocktail was perfect. Then, caesar salad and classic salad. Caesar was dressed well and the dressing was delicious. Classica salad was good, dressing good but a variety of greens would have given it a better texture. There was too much arugala. No bread was offered. That would have been welcome. Next, our mains. Chicken parm with penne pasta .The breading on the chicken was very flavourful ! The the chicken was done perfectly and it was topped with right amount of cheese and sauce. Pasta was done perfectly and the tomato sauce was light and delicious. The other main was the cheese gnocchi...delicious! An ample amount of gnocchi covered with a delicious creamy four cheese sauce.Simply delicious! It truly was a delicious meal! The service was friendly and attentive. Perfect! We booked a reservation stating that we were celebrating our 40th Anniversay. We were seated at an excellent table and treated to a comlimentary dessert, a dark and milk chocolate mouse cake. It was delicious! This was our first time visiting La Cucina. It is a very lively restaurant with a wonderful Italian menu. We will return to try the wood oven pizzas!

Great food! Great service. We had the pizza and there was a special for any pizza at a 17.00 price point. The service was attentive and friendly. The food arrived to the table quickly. Highly recommend.

The food here is always amazing which is why we came here for our anniversary. It was noted on our reservation that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, but it went unacknowledged. We were greeted with “Can I get you water to start?” No hello, how are you or happy anniversary. We received the most basic service and our server lacked personality. It was obvious we were just another customer and didn't care to interact with us. When paying, they left the machine on the table and turned their back to us and was cutting bread. I was paying partial cash and the machine timed out which we sat there waiting for them to turn around to notice. If they cared, they would have bothered to stand at the table for 20 seconds during payment. They came over, restarted the machine and walked away again. On the way to running food to another table stopped to ask if we wanted a receipt. I've been in the industry for 11 years and I was very disappointed at the lack of concern for guests, let alone guests dining for a special occasion. We are not in a hurry to go back, there are other restaurants with great food and service that makes you want to be there and feel that they want you there. I left not feeling good about this experience.

First time there for my girlfriends. They loved it!!! The only thing was the noise level. There was a large party celebrating a birthday beside us that were very loud but what can you do. They were very nice people and offered to buy the 3 of us a drink because if that. It's always nice to see people enjoying themselves. One of our party had a 2 hour drive home so we opted not to except their lovely gesture. I had the Margarita pizza and it was absolutely delicious!!!! I have been to this restaurant before and thought my girlfriends would enjoy which they both did/ We will be back.

2 out of 4 meals good. Mushroom pasta was bland and undercooked. Pizza with chicken was dry and spiceless. They are shorting on extras that made them successful. Fewer tomatoes on Pizza, no fresh basil ,just dried bulk barn herbs and charging extra for a few extra mushrooms. After many meals, disappointing

The lights shut off on our side of the restaurant for the whole time we were eating. It was dark and hard to see. Electrical issues are not their fault but no one came to acknowledge the issue, and no concessions made for the inconvenience. It was just ignored which I felt was inconsiderate and unprofessional. We eat here a lot and never had an issue but that was a bit disappointing.

We enjoyed this venue to celebrate our 42nd Wedding Anniversary. The food is exceptional and service is informative and top notch The pizza from the wood fired oven is delicious I highly recommend La Cuccina Kitchener

Beste Pizza (Neapolitanien Style) in KW region. Ambient only got 3 stars because there are to much screens where there are showing sport stuff on it. But amazing food.

I’ve been to this restaurant 3x but after today I don’t think I’ll spend the money I have on the poor quality food I received today. The salad had Renées dressing and it says their homemade dressing. I was so disappointed! I could have packed my lunch with that. The pizza barely had cheese it was very tasteless too. I had amazing experiences when I sat in restaurant but I don’t recommend takeout.

Everyone gather here and listen!!! If you’re going to go here get the braised beef ravioli in a black truffle sauce. I wasn’t sure what to get when I went in so my waiter, Jack, suggested the ravioli and told me the couple across from me ordered 3 plates of it. I was sold. That dish did not disappoint.

Jack was such a great waiter; from solid recommendations, warm friendly energy and a brilliant smile, you’ll be sure to see me back soon.

Thank you so much, Jack!

Oh and the pasta is handmade in house!! Best part!
