A

s you enter Cucina! Cucina! a hint of Italy enters you, a five star restaurant. You can smell the fresh tomatoes, and the bread coming out of their amazing oven located in the open view kitchen in the middle of the cafe. As a friendly staff member escorts you to your table a surprise is waiting. The table is covered with a large piece of white paper accompanied by crayons for the kids. It doesn’t take long for the table to be fully covered in drawings.

 

As you open your menu you see a variety of appetizers, sides, and desserts to choose from. The waiters take your order, and in a mere ten minutes they have brought your drinks and any appetizers you ordered.

 

I would recommend the tea, because not only is it nicely presented but also they give you a variety of teas to choose from. Also, for your appetizer if you order the foccacia bread your hopes will not be shattered, for it is mouth watering. It’s bread with a side of garlic, vinegar, and it comes in a half loaf or whole. For the main dish the Linguini with meatballs is very tasty. The pasta is beautifully presented, with a side of meatballs, topped with marinera sauce, and Parmesan cheese, it is delicious.

 

After you finish eating and turn and observe others, you can see that they are enjoying their food. When your waiter clears the table the dessert many appears on the table and before you know it you are staring at Mt. Fuji, or that’s what you think if you order their marvelous tiramisu. The tiramisu is beautifully presented with a mountain of whipped cream and a lettuce leaf on top. When you try this remarkable dessert you will not be disappointed. Their other desserts are also delicious and taste magnificent, dessert is not something you want to skip at this café.

 

I guarantee you will like this restaurant and will come back to it over and over again. It’s beautiful, clean, and enjoyable, there is not one thing I think that they should change about it. Make sure the next time you go out for dinner, stop at Cucina! Cucina!.
