LA CUCINA Italian Kitchen

Did not get pictures of the food because we ate it so fast and it was fantastic. The chef is from Italy and he spends 4 months out of the year still in Italy- all the food tasted amazing and home made. We ordered the spaghetti with meatballs for our toddler and those meatballs were so tasty- my husband and I got chicken Alfredo and shrimp Alfredo. Delicious! Portions were also European and not overwhelmingly huge like it’s typical in America. Pasta was homemade as well. The caprese salad appetizer was phenomenal too! The atmosphere is so cozy and cute- you feel like you’re eating in Somebody’s house In Italy! Tons of outdoor seating too and we got to play in the yard after. It’s reservation and cash only! The staff was incredibly friendly and the experience was great- definitely recommend

Year later 2025. This is the best restaurant in our region. Period. Make reservation by text. Another visit May 10th: Trouble making reservation, called twice, no reservation on arrival. Texting preferred. That said, the owner and staff were VERY accommodating and we had another wonderful experience! Appetizer, main course, and dessert were all just superb! Thanks to all. Third visit: November 2023 This is, bar none, one of the best restaurants I've been in from Maine to Florida. The place is immaculately clean, the service is excellent, and the food is about 3 clicks past that. We've eaten here three times in the last month if that counts and taken about five other diners to boot. Everyone, and there were some picky eaters in the bunch, enjoyed the truly fine fare. Little pricey

We had a great date night at La Cucina, driving over from Johnson City. The pastas, desserts, and bread were terrific. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect! The best food! My husband ordered lasagna that melted in your mouth and I got the Ravioloni Truffle Porcini Mushroom that was so delicious. You walk into the front door and the aroma just hits you, it smells so good in there. The house is turned into a restaurant and that just adds to the coziness. We will definitely be back

This was my first time in Mountain City. A local resident brought us here for dinner! Highly recommend the lasagna, ravioli, salad, antipasto, and bread. We were served family style and tasted a bit of everything. Delicious! Friendly owner/chef and servers!
