service:
10/10! Cucina had excellent service. I called a few days in advance to make a 10-15 person reservation during a weekday lunch time for my coworkers. They were able to accommodate us all very well, and gave us their full attention. Definitely amazing service!! food: 7/10. I think the food was decent, but since the place is pricier, I expected a bit higher quality food.
calamari: 8/10. good, small portioned size
bruschetta: 9/10. very simple but still very good
octopus: 7/10. tasty but very small and no one really ate the side salad
short ribs: 6/10. The mashed potatoes tasted pretty well, but the short ribs were definitely not what I expected. I've seen pictures from other Yell reviews and they looked a bit different. It tasted very mediocre and tasted more like a beef stew.
scallops: I just sampled this dish, and the scallops tasted really good - it was seared on the outside very well with the inside still tender :)
tiramisu: 6/10. very mid tasting dessert. I've definitely had better
ambiance: 10/10. Very nice, fancy, and friendly place to go with coworkers, friends, or family! The restaurant looks very nice and professional inside. We got seated inside, but I believe the patio is a very pretty setting.
