    We have had dinner at La Cucina quite a few times. It's been awhile since we have been out to a restaurant so we are thrilled they are still open! In 2019 we had the opportunity to go to Italy and if you are looking for authentic Italian food, then you need to eat at La Cucina! They also have a great assortment of wines to choose from. Service is great and you will typically meet one of the owners to ensure everything has met your expectations! :) We will be back again!

    This place is great. The food is fresh and delicious. Our waitress was super nice. We got the chicken parmigiana, vodka pasta, and salmon and would recommend all of them. You also get to pick what kind of pasta you want.

    Great experience, first time dining. Chef Vito greeted us when we walked in and also visited the table during dinner. My wife has celiac so GF is a must not a want. Chef was aware and extremely accommodating to cook up everything GF. Started with some calamari and then she had the piccata. I went full gluten and had the chicken parmigiana which was delicious. The sauce was fresh!! Topped it off with the featured wine from Abruzzo, Talamonti Pecorino. Great experience, will certainly be back. This is a restaurant that defines the words Mom and Pop! We certainly felt welcome at this table!

    We love La Cucina as it reminds me when I lived in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. All their food is so good, from the pasta, pizza and everything in the menu is so good. Our kids love their pizza and calamari. We would recommend this place so much if you want Italian food.
