Calamari was a disappointment. greasy with no crunch. The sauce was not good… like plain mayo. It took a long time to get our food. We had been sitting for over an hour before we recieved our pasta. The pasta was amazing . The drinks, atmosphere and service was great. Will definitely eat here again.

Incredible arancini and osso busco. It was our anniversary so the owner brought us a shot of some kind of liquor that tasted cinnamony. Excellent service and food. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Norma and your team for doing a wonderful job hosting our family as we celebrated our late sister. We sincerely appreciated the wonderful service you provided Jeremy - best we've ever had! And, oh yes, our larger group meant just about one of everything on the menu got ordered and can report that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it all. Nothing can beat your homemade pasta. Your dessert, as always, was a majorly nice way of ending our evening. This truly is one of our city's best kept secrets. See you again soon!

3 appetizers we ordered were not available that night and fairly basic items. Charcuterie board?? Very disappointed as a highlight for our party of 5 has been to share the wonderful appetizers that we enjoy so much. The evening started out with disappointment when the server continously said that our appetizer choices were not available. Love La Cucina but won't go back for a long time
