Have just finished up here and want to write our review immediately. We have an AirBNB just opposite and it is tucked away on a little back road. You should definitely make a special visit to come to this restaurant. We had a starter between us, duck and beef starters with veg and potatoes. A dessert each. A beautiful bottle of red wine and some bread and water and it all came to £100! The food tasted out of this world and it was clean and very well presented inside. Our hostess was attentive and helpful with selections. All in all we completely recommend visiting here.

This is a great restaurant for traditional Italian cuisine, other than pizza's and pasta with red sauce. The hostess is very kind and welcoming and she has no trouble helping us out with the questions we had about the menu. The food (and house wine) was outstanding and we would highly recommend this restuarant for a full Italian dinner in a cosy atmosphere.

High cuisine at reasonable prices. We paid 50€ for two people and had both Desserts and Prosecco in addition to the main course.

Fantastic! Lovely food. Price point above what I normally eat. But easily worth it. House white wine was stunning - cheapest wine on the menu was amazing. Food was something I'll dream about. Grilled fish was gorgous and the pasta was 10/10. Just a lovely lovely night. Excellent!!

This place is tucked away down a small street, but don’t let that fool you. We ended up here after several popular restaurants turned away a group of 8 without reservations (we’re just passing through). And let me say, this place is phenomenal. Everything about it, start to finish. We all ate family style, trying each other’s meals, so we all got to taste a good portion of the menu. Every bite exceeded expectations, and even more than that, the ladies who took care of us were like soul healers. We felt like we were in their care, more so than in their restaurant. Make La Cucineria your first choice if staying in the area.
