AR Cucina

AR Cucina was fantastic ! The service was impeccable. Marley the manager and our waitress was such a sweetheart & truly amazing from start to finish! This was a family style dinner and we chose our menu in advance which made the experience that much better once we arrived. We were served water & our choice of wine. Next was a fantastic rosemary bread which was served warm. Our next course was chopped salad& burrata cheese. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had a choice of 3 pastas 1. Vodka sauce 2. Pesto sauce 3. Meat sauce - all were totally different yet equally phenomenal. Dessert was a choice of tiramisu or sorbet. The salted Carmel sorbet was delicious !!! I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in Culver City!!

We loved this place! The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. The mushroom risotto was full of flavour and the density was just perfect, and the lasagna was magnificent! (So good that I forgot to take pics upon their arrival LOL) The service was very attentive, friendly and professional and the atmosphere was clean, fresh and modern..... Well done!

Great happy hour with 1/2 off drinks at the bar. Food seed reasonably priced. Will be back to try dinner.

The food was good with the exception for one plate the butternut squash.. otherwise 5 stars for service, ambience and drinks

The food was pretty good. The portions and the wine pours were laughably small though. There wasn’t enough food for a 5 year old to be satisfied. I ordered a pasta dish. They gave me around 6 bites of pasta. I am not kidding, 6 bites. The bus staff was great. The wait staff was far less than desirable. I won’t be returning to this establishment.

It was the best food we had. Close to tourist destinations so the perfect mix of locals and tourists of all shapes and sizes. There is always a line of people trying to get in the entire time we were there and a constant stream of food being sent home. The menu is large and we were worried they couldn't cook everything from fresh, but how wrong we were. The lasagne matched everything we've tried on our many trips to Italy. Unusual mix of food and drink from all over the world, but somehow it works. I even had a German draft beer which was great. It's a shame we discovered this place on our last evening and we'll be back.

Happy hour is best deal at this trendy happening local bar/restaurant. Talented mixologist makes interesting cocktails and appetizers were very good. Enjoyed dinner in quieter porch area. We went there for a friend's birthday and had a fine time. As I mentioned food was very good, but nothing spectacular. Not what I would consider a "foodie" place to go.

Nice place. They have some unique food, but is not extra ordinary. I like the ambience. I did notice one of the staff biting nails, not a nice thing to see at a restaurant. I wish if they bring back some of the Indian fusion food they had before. Was a big fan of previous gunpowder potatoes, however not a fan of the fresh friend chips now.
