Restaurant Review: La Cucina *****

Joe Volcano
I went there with a group of people, and we all thought the same thing of this nice restaurant. The best thing about this place is the food, every bite of every dish was amazing. Our favorite foods were the black, squid ink pasta with seafood, and the Burrata cheese appetizer. The food is absolutely amazing and taste fresh. There is lots of thought into the recipes of all these dishes.

Conrad Paz
Unassuming, nondescript venue, tucked away on the ground floor of an office building. It’s barely visible from the street, and only from some angles. Drove by several times and couldn’t find it, so I decided to park in the street and hunted around for it. Was starting to doubt Maps, but sure enough found it. You wouldn’t guess from the location and ambience, but this is some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted! The salad, bruschetta, pastas and risotto were so delicious. Flavors were spot on. You will not be disappointed. The dishes were made from scratch, so expect serving to take a little extra time. Kudos to the server. She’s a one woman force of nature that greeted and seated customers, took orders, served dishes, bar tended, bussed tables, and through it all kept a professional and friendly demeanor. Wow! Look forward to our next dining experience.

The food here was so great! The bruschetta is insanely good. However there seems to only be one server and all of our food literally took so long to come out! Like over an hour… also me and my husband were on a date and they brought my food way before his which kinda sucked. Definitely think for a place with such awesome food they should invest in some more servers!

jojo koshi
We read the reviews and heard voice-mail regarding the wait, so we were prepared for the wait. It was an amazing experience! Every single dish we had was beautiful and delicious!!!!!! I am definitely going back. For appetizers, we had the bone marrow and bruschetta. For entrees, we had the risotto funghi, and the pasta with lobster meat. It was soooooo good

Jackie Tran
There are so many things to love about this place. It’s cozy and very stylish. I absolutely loved all the food there. You don’t really even need to read the menu, just point as something on it and I guarantee it’ll be delicious. I loved the bone marrow the most. The fat just melts off your tongue.

Josie Kong
It’s a long wait for the entrees but it’s worth the food because the food is delicious. Just order appetizers so you have something to nibble on while the main dish is being cooked.

Cheng En Yang
Went to this place first day of our visit in Hawaii. The waitress was really nice. The food took a while to come because everything made from scratch. Really delicious and they opened pretty late compare to all the restaurants around the area.

Mira Serrill-Robins
Good food, fresh pasta, nicely cooked and very fresh. The spaghetti was Al dente. My friends liked their squid ravioli and another dish. Very friendly service. Definitely not fast because they make everything fresh. Didn’t live the Pinot Grigio we got, just too sweet. Comfortable little spot for sitting and enjoying a meal, relatively quiet so good for conversation.

Catherine Wong
They are reopened! Make sure you make reservation. Food was delicious and fresh you could tell everything made from scratch when you placed your order and that they used high quality ingredients. It’s BYOB if you want to pair your Italian dinner with some wine. Plenty of street parking on Cooke Street after 6pm.
