    Cucina Bella was a last-minute reservation, but I am so glad we were able to get in. I had the Fusilli Pollo, and it was delicious. Service was fantastic. It is a neighborhood gem.

    Outstanding meal. We had the risotto which was excellent. The salmon is prepared with a very light crust that was delicious, and the risotto was perfect.

    Really bad service on Valentines Day. Their seating reservation system doesn't make sense. If you make a reservation at 7:00 PM and arrive at 6:50PM, you may not be seated despite there being open tables. This is because they do assigned seating beforehand for each reservation, meaning if the table you were assigned to is still occupied, they will not seat you. Additionally, they did not mention that Valentines Day would have a fixed menu. The holiday menu was much more limited than their standard menu and more expensive.

    Hi Dustin, Thank you for your feedback. We definitely had a little hiccup on Valentine's day but we do learn from our mistakes. This hiccup shows us how to be better & more organized for future events. We're sorry our menu didn't meet your expectations but we did announce our Valentine's menu months before the day of & it was listed on open table & our website. For the future, we do fixed menus for special holidays. Thank you again. - Cucina Bella Team
