I came here for lunch after trying nearby Thai Ginger but finding it way too noisy and crowded. Luckily for us Cucina Cucina had plenty of space in the back of the restaurant… perhaps it wasn’t a good sign that the restaurant was 1/3rd empty for a Friday lunch.

The service was great – our waiter was new but attentive. The ambiance of all Cucina Cucina restaurants is nice and casual – this is a good place to have a relaxing meal with friends.

My meal today reminded me of why I don’t pick Cucina Cucina more often – there isn’t any one dish I’ve found that strikes the right balance of taste, quality and value. Everything about Cucina Cucina looks great on paper, but I try different items each time I come and always leave unfulfilled. Got any recommendations?

Cucina cucina is one of the few chain restaurants I’ll miss every once in a while. I like the fact of drawing on the paper tablecloth with crayon. It’s such a great way of having fun dinner with good memories.

Calamari at cucina cucina is the best one i’ve ever had, but such a huge appetizer with single selection really filled up before entrees. As a result, I always end up not finishing pasta and eating leftover noodles as next day lunch.

We once tried sharing an appetizer Platter and Sicilian Meatball Lasagna with 2 persons. It works perfect in terms of selection and portion!

The funny thing is about the nice waiter, who did come back quite often checking us whether it’s good (or enough?). Well, we do have faith in our order. We did stick with it, and we were super satisfied!
