★★★★★ 5.0 Carla Vereen · Oct 2025

This is a MUST TRY if you’re in the area. Honestly when we arrived and saw a house, we were so impressed by the use of space. They made us feel so welcome. The food was amazing. Nothing overcooked and well seasoned. Alicia took such good care of us. My family had: salmon, Bolognese, lasagne, chicken Mediterranean, calamari, bruschetta, and to end the oreo cheesecake and tiramisus(desert was just okay). We all left thinking when can we come back.

We recently hosted a party at this restaurant, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel taken care of. The planning was effortless, the communication was clear, and they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and enjoyed by everyone. The atmosphere was warm and festive, and the team handled everything with professionalism and genuine kindness. Our guests kept commenting on how great the service was and how smoothly the entire event ran. If you’re looking for the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, look no further. This restaurant delivered an unforgettable experience, and we can’t thank them enough! Highly, highly recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Allyson Gruber · May 2025

We love la cucina! Our go to place to bring out of town visitors because it’s consistently great food, service and the specials menu can’t be beat. Love that we can come at anytime and always find a variety but also always have great classic Italian dishes.

★★★★★ 5.0 Thomas Naturale · Feb 2024

Great service, food was plentiful, and flavorful, although the atmosphere some might say rustic or classic due to it being a general store, others may see dated, but that did not interfer with my ability to stuff my face.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jon Focht · Jul 2023

On the outside, this restaurant doesn't look like that much but the food and service were outstanding! When we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted by many Friendly Smiles and it felt as if we were coming to an Italian family dinner. Highly recommend the mozzarella en carozza... simply delicious! And I don't think I've ever had better marinara sauce. It was that perfect balance of fresh and savory, and went well with everything that we ordered. I mean, we didn't try it on the dessert but it was so good I wouldn't completely rule it out! My wife got the pork, and I got the veal parm. Both were outstanding. And the homemade tiramisu was probably the best I've ever had. We did not have to wait long for our food, and the waitress came by regularly and was very friendly. In fact, all
