Calamari was a disappointment. greasy with no crunch. The sauce was not good... like plain mayo. It took a long time to get our food. We had been sitting for over an hour before we recieved our pasta. The pasta was amazing . The drinks, atmosphere and service was great. Will definitely eat here again.

Incredible arancini and osso busco. It was our anniversary so the owner brought us a shot of some kind of liquor that tasted cinnamony. Excellent service and food. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Norma and your team for doing a wonderful job hosting our family as we celebrated our late sister. We sincerely appreciated the wonderful service you provided Jeremy - best we've ever had! And, oh yes, our larger group meant just about one of everything on the menu got ordered and can report that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it all. Nothing can beat your homemade pasta. Your dessert, as always, was a majorly nice way of ending our evening. This truly is one of our city's best kept secrets. See you again soon!

3 appetizers we ordered were not available that night and fairly basic items. Charcuterie board?? Very disappointed as a highlight for our party of 5 has been to share the wonderful appetizers that we enjoy so much. The evening started out with disappointment when the server continously said that our appetizer choices were not available. Love La Cucina but won't go back for a long time

Great authentic Italian food. Loved the atmosphere and background music. Our server, Jessica, was fantastic. We enjoyed interacting with her. She is very knowledgeable with both the menu and the wines.

I have previously had good experiences here, however, this past Saturday evening was not good. Got a whiskey sour to drink and it tasted odd and had a different colour, the arancini appetizer which we previously loved did not taste the same and had almost a curry flavour. The carbonara was okay but not worth the price. The main issue was the steak- paying 50 some dollars for a steak and it was almost blue rare when requested medium and was slimy/unappetizing. The plate just had too much going on and everything lacked flavour. Didn’t complain as had somewhere to be and wasn’t worth the fuss but disappointing as I have previously enjoyed! Our server was very friendly. Maybe an off night but likely won’t be back.

We were in town from Vancouver and Toronto and we tried our luck in this lovely restaurant and we were not disappointed. It was late and we were hungry! We were hosted by Rae and she was fabulous! She definitely made the experience perfect and really cared about us! When she realized we wanted dessert and the kitchen was closed, she went above and beyond to make sure we find a good dessert spot! Rae thank you for making our Saskatchewan experience fun and unique!

Skip on the calamari, ours was overly greasy and I couldn't enjoy it. The classic bruschetta was fantastic! Our veal and pasta dishes were good and the wine was as well, the ricotta donuts for dessert were delicious. Service was great. Nice cozy and romantic place!

The food was amazing! Best spaghetti bolognese I've ever had. Had the bruschetta to start and was also amazing! Service was fantastic! Definitely a new favorite restaurant. Make sure you make a reservation. It was busy.
Fantastic experience! We've done their set menu V-day experience twice now and both times it was wonderful. This was my first time going à la carte and it was even better. You absolutely must try the Carciofo E Pecorino appetizer, and the Bells Rosa martini!

Wonderful evening, loved the cozy atmosphere and great music which was just the right volume so we could still talk. Food was excellent, especially if you are looking for vegetarian options. Would have given full 5 stars but the $98 parking ticket dimmed the glow we had. We asked upon arriving arriving about the Imperial parking lot and were told we were ok. The old machine didn't work so a ticket couldn't be purchased and the messaging wasn't clear as to where you could park after 6pm. All the cars had tickets when we left. If you have a business with parking challenges it would be most considerate to be able to inform your customers.
Parking: Imperial Parking lot. beside is deceptive. $98 ticket for not parking in right spot, unclear messaging. all the cars had tickets. Restaurant should be able to advise customers with correct information

A lovely evening in a small quiet venue. The food is quite good- especially the veal and pasta dishes. The calamari although tender was a bit greasy. The service was top notch. Will definitely be back for a special occasion

Love this place. Food is always 10/10, service is top notch, great atmosphere whether you are meeting friends or an anniversary, romantic dinner etc.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary there. We were very pleased with the overall experience. The food was delicious, the service was great and always greeted you with a smile. Will recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a good time out. We will be back again.
