We were celebrating our anniversary and had a fantastic experience. Our waitress, Irina, was very friendly and professional. Her dinner recommendation was perfect!
Celebrated my wife’s retirement with close friends. The staff helped with the surprise and our waiter was amazing and made the evening even more enjoyable. Awesome food and service, as always.
If you’re looking for a memorable, fun, delicious meal— scampi is it. The whole team is fantastic and Liz’s passion and knowledge about the food she makes & products she uses makes the whole meal an experience without being pretentious. If you want good food, to feel like you’re getting your moneys worth for a pre-fix, and to support a young badass chef who cares a lot, go to scampi!
We have been going to La Cucina for many years. The staff and food are always consistent. In the summer I would highly recommend you making a reservation.
