Genuinely one of the nicest places I've eaten ever. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, engaging at the right times and helping owth advice and making elthe evening a happy one. Food was really really good quality and competitively priced, we all came away surprised at how reasonable the bill was compared to the top quality meal we had just had.Genuine delight and one I will definately revisit in the future.

Very cozy Italian restaurant with good food, good wine, good service and good tiramisu at a fair price. We enjoyed our dinner here and will come back again soon.

La Cucina Italian Restaurant delights with its warm ambiance and the owner's exceptional hospitality. His thoughtful advice to share a starter due to the generous size speaks volumes about his dedication. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing authentic Italian flavors in every bite. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience!

La Cucina was always my favourite Italian when I was a bit younger, and after returning after a year it is still just as good as I remember! I went here with my mum a few weeks ago and we were greeted very promptly by the owner. He offered to take our coats and he was very welcoming. I ordered Carbonara which was cooked perfectly (as far as i’m aware it’s traditional too!) and it had tonnes of flavour. My mum ordered crab pasta and she was impressed as well. The owner always checked up on us to see if we were ok, and at the end he even helped us out our coats back on! Cannot wait to return here.

First time eating here...Great service, nice restaurant and good prices.For us the food was OK, not the best Italian I've ever had but maybe we chose the wrong dishes. Pizza was soggy, prefer a crisper taste. Puddings were delicious though.

Our first visit to La Cucina, a warm welcome from the owner. Seems like a well established restaurant. Good choice of starters, fish, meat, pasta, pizza. I had Bream and my wife had a pasta, both very nice. Tiramisu was excellent. 2/3 full at 8pm.

The best Italian I have ever been to. The food was incredible and the service was excellent. It was such a friendly place. We would 100% recommend this place and can't wait to go back for more of their beautiful food.
Outstanding service and food last night for the whole family. Not surprised it was full. Simply delicious. Well done guys and

Last night my wife and I went to La Cucina as it was her birthday. We have been there before and have had good service and food. We were greeted by a young waiter who was polite and showed us to our seat and brought a menu. Shortly afterwards, an Italian waiter / owner (?) came and very briskly asked us what we wanted to drink. My wife queried something on the menu which he replied to very abruptly and we then ordered two large (250ml) glasses of red wine and two pizzas. These were brought – one had more wine in than the other and neither looked to be 250ml. Still, we let that pass. The pizzas arrived and we found the cheese to be really quite greasy and the olives did not have any taste. I ate most of mine (I was hungry) but my wife left half of hers as they were not very nice at all. No-one came during our meal to ask if everything was OK with the meal. When the Italian waiter arrived to take out plates away, my wife commented that the pizza was not very nice and, unusually, had no tomato on the base. He became quite agitated and pointed out that the menu did not say it had a tomato base. She commented on the cheese and his response was “if you don’t like my pizzas you should go somewhere else next time”. He then stormed off. My wife went to the counter and told him he was being extremely rude to which he replied “I don’t want your money you can go” and waved his arms around. We therefore left without paying. We will not be returning and it is highly likely that friends of ours who have been there before may decide to give it a miss after hearing of our experience.

Great service, friendly staff and the food was excellent. Food came out on time but didn’t feel rushed. All seven of us went home full and satisfied
