We waited longer than expected for our main courses, and when they finally arrived, everyone found their meals to be lukewarm. Mine was even on the cooler side. I informed our waiter, who took it back, and after a few minutes, he returned with a reheated meal. The initial presentation was underwhelming, and it didn’t improve much after being heated. I had the chicken piccata, which consisted of one chicken breast cut in half sitting on what must have been the smallest portion of linguine I’ve ever seen. Once I tasted it, it was fine, but still nothing remarkable. To make matters worse, when our bill arrived, we asked the waiter to split it three ways. When the credit card receipts came back...

**Meal Type:** Dinner **Price Per Person:** $50–100 I had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, earning a solid 5 out of 5. Every dish I tried was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure our needs were met without being intrusive, also deserving a 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, although I would rate it a 4 out of 5 simply because there’s room for improvement in ambiance. I highly recommend trying their Crème Brûlée—it's a must-have! Overall, I had a fantastic evening and look forward to returning.

A few weeks ago I was treated here as a birthday gift. Well atmosphere is mediocre at best. We ordered our apps and waited over 40 minutes...it wasn't even that busy. No flavor... When the pasta arrived it was stuck together in lumps. Obviously par cooked and then poorly reheated. The tomato sauce had a canned taste to it...still was summer..why not fresh tomatoes?. That also lacked flavor. At that point we figured it was best to pass on dessert and picked up dessert elsewhere. As far as the service...well just very matter of fact. Did the job but lacked people skills. No reason to return or recommend. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The restaurant has a beautiful setting with a pleasant ambiance. However, our experience fell short. It took 45 minutes for our appetizers to arrive, and they were underwhelming. Both the food and service were disappointing. The creamy polenta with short ribs was served as a chunky, flavorless mass with what seemed to be thin slices of chuck roast on top instead of short ribs. The risotto di Mare, which sounded promising, turned out to be gummy. The other four entrees were nothing special either. Given the high cost of the meal, we won't be returning.

The servers were very kind but they were very understaffed for labor day weekend ... it took about an hour and a half or longer from start to finish. But we had good company so we were patient. Food was good ... some of it came out cold but by the time it reached our table we were so hungry we ate it without complaint. I give the whole experience 4 stars Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Braised Lamb Osso Buco, Fried Calamari

I just hosted my son's small wedding for 30 guests at La Cucina Ristorante yesterday, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was outstanding, the venue was stunning, and the wait staff were extremely efficient. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Although I had never been there for dinner before, I had heard wonderful things about the restaurant. I'm excited to enjoy many more meals there in the future!

The meal was underwhelming, with the dessert being the only highlight. We had high hopes, but the bread tasted frozen and had freezer burn. The Caesar salad was bland and nothing special. The Parmesan shaker on the table felt out of place for a fine dining experience—shaved Parmesan would have been more appropriate. The cioppino was decent, but overall, the food lacked flavor. On the plus side, our server was wonderful and very attentive.

My son just had his small wedding reception here on 9/17-23. The food was amazing! The wait staff was also amazing. The room was set up beautifully and we couldn't have been happier with everything. Chef Ron makes amazing food and the presentation was beautiful. And a shout out to Elis, the event coordinator. I couldn't have done it without him. He was super helpful and so nice to work with.
