Cucina Palm Beach Gardens

A hidden gem! Haven’t had authentic italian food in a while in Florida. The ambiance, the service, the food, everything was on point. Keep up the good work, will be back for more for sure

We have eaten here at least five times before and each time was great. Tonight seemed as if the bus boy was cooking. The Barada and salad we had to send back and they took off the bill, which was very nice. It was horrible! The meatballs were OK at best. And the calamari was horrible. After appetizers, we were all scared to order food because of how terrible it was. I ventured out and ordered linguine Vogle or linguine white clam sauce and the clams were nice but it was in butter and nothing else. Horrible! Luckily, we had a cheese pie to fall back on, which was very good. Service was very good. I don’t know what happened, but I just thought you might like to know so you can make changes accordingly. Good luck in the future.

Don’t miss Cucina‘s delicious Italian foods for lunch and dinner. Very reasonably priced at fresh and delicious salads, pizzas and pastas that you can’t beat!!! Back again!!! A small pizza is huge!! Fast and very nice service !! Ask for Noah!!! Back again.. taking it light tonight!! Lentil soup and chicken breast…But so delicious!!!

We had a great experience here. Nice, friendly staff and the food was great. I would like to especially thank out server, Aynur, who recommended a great wine for our dinner. It was a Valpolicella and it went really well with our dinner.

Beautiful and clean. Meatballs were undercooked, served in fridge cold salsa. Calzone and Stromboli were warm but not hot, salsa for those were served on a warm plate but the salsa was fridge cold. Flavor left you wanting for flavor. Place is nice but I wasn't satisfied with the food taste or temperature. Very disappointed.

I say it with my chest - the best Italian food in Palm Beach!! and without the insane price tag. Better than most crazy lux restaurants I’ve been too. I love Cucina!!!

Simply savory. We came here because we looked through the review, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that everything was good. We had the Fried Zucchini and the Calamari as appetizers. Delicate yet delicious flavors the chef allows the fresh ingredients of the dish speak though without heavy dashes of seasonings or spices. This place is definitely worth the money with great service. Pro Tip: Make sure to inquire as to what are the daily specials find some palate pleasers of menu.

Friends and family all recommended Cucina, we took their advice and it does not disappoint! Noah served us a delicious meal without hesitation even though we came in close to closing time. Definitely recommend coming in if looking for food in the area! We had the Cucina salad , stuffed jalapeños special, eggplant parm and rigatoni bologna’s.

Solid pizza. Good sauce, perfect cheese, and amazing crust. The restaurant itself is clean and very inviting. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the pizza is really really good?!! Good local Italian cucina.

Friendly staff and busy on a Sunday (holiday) night at 6:45. Easy reservation on Yelp. Gluten free pasta can be substituted. GF cauliflower or plain GF crust also available. The menu is well defined for gluten free options. Clearly a favorite, this restaurant is bustling, clean, and bright. TVs for the games.

I was in the area about 12:30 grab a slice pizza slice .it was raw dough no wonder they only had one table need to learn how to make pizza if you want to stay open

The food and service were incredible! I got the fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken and it came out fresh and delicious. Definitely would recommend!

Had lunch there today. Surprisingly not very busy! Server, Renee, was engaging and personable! Food was very good and brought to our table promptly and with a wonderful smile! We hope to return soon!!!

Love the roasted beet salad and cauliflower crust veggie pizza! The food is always fresh and prepared quickly.

Fantastic Cucina cheesesteak!!! Service always top notch and food is great! Outdoor seating nice but I enjoy the bar too with ICE cold beer . For sure 5 stars!!!

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Great service, delicious food and amazing pizza. Be sure to secure a reservation at this gem

I was very excited to go here from seeing the menu. I love risotto and they have a few different kinds. We ordered the salmon over risotto, the salmon was cooked perfect but the risotto was pure liquid. It was as if they just put rice and broth with no flavors at all. There wasn't any amount of Parm cheese to save it. As an app we got the caprese, the tomato was pink. So hard we didn't eat them. $15 for mozzarella was very disappointing. The service was good, they were friendly. We were the only people in the restaurant so I would hope so. Over all it was disappointing and won't go back, plenty of better places to goto in PBG.

The place seems pleasant. I ordered a pizza to go and thought it was okay. The order was ready quickly as I learned when place order direct online via Yelp gets immediate attention.

Nice local place, good food, We were a party of four everyone enjoyed their meal. Casual atmosphere, servers were great. They also have outdoor seating.

Pizza awesome Service great Portions adequate Take reservations Enjoy TRIVIA Open every day Hours accommodating

It has been a favorite restaurant for the last year. The food is outstanding. last night we had Seared Tuna with risotto and spinach. Outstanding! Similarly, we had Lobster Pappardelle, another fantastic dish. The service is impeccable. Noah and the entire staff make dining out an event to treasure. The ambiance is simple, clean and inviting. The pastas, especially linguine with clams, are terrific. Also, the pizzas, with thin crust, make a great meal to be enjoyed by everyone at the table. Also, the wine list is impressive for a neighborhood restaurant.I really recommend this place.

Wonderful little Italian spot! It always seems to be popping here, for good reason. They have a very extensive menu. Both the chicken parm and the veal parm are insanely flavorful. The pomodoro salad is super fresh - I got it with grilled chicken and it was very filling. They have amazing bread with pesto too (complimentary)! Our server Paul went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bonus - Ashdan's next door has the best ice cream for dessert!

We were passing through having attended a wedding yesterday so this was our first time here. I ordered lasagna, my husband ordered chicken Parm. The garlic rolls we got prior to the meal were hot and delicious! The house Cabernet was excellent. The food didn't take long to come out but the center of my lasagna was cold..the server took it back--they cut it up and re-heated...it was fine but it took about 15 min and my husband had finished his meal. The chicken Parm was a huge piece of chicken with spaghetti but the spaghetti looked like it had been sitting out for some time--it wasn't very tasty or appealing. The sauce on both the lasagna and chicken Parm was good. I was a tad disappointed given $100 meal (with tip and no discount for cold food) for 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine but I would give it another chance if I lived locally.

Service The service was very prompt and the waiter was very attentive. He was very nice at asking us if we needed anything or if we were ready to order. Food This is the reason why this place scored a low grade. To start we ordered the meatballs as our appetizers. For 13$ you would think they would give you a decent portion, but 3 small meatballs that were drenched in sweet red sauce is not worth. Next the pollo franchise for 27$ was not by any means worth it. The lemon-wine sauce for the chicken was very bland. The lemon wine sauce did not have any salt or citrus. The chicken its self was very chewy and flimsy. The egg bread fell apart very easily as it was not properly covered. Overall the food underperformed significantly. Honestly your better of going to lynora's. First and last time I go to this spot.

Went to this place for dinner .. 1st time here .. pleasant surprise. Menu is great .. service is the best .. pricing is good .. you get what you pay for .. support your local eateries!! NICE BAR !!

Ordered veal parm. Pasta was cold . Sent it back and still not thoroughly heated. Under sauced. Never came to check if food was good.Bussed took care of all the service. Told waiter when presented with bill that it was not good he said it usually is and if you come back maybe they would give us a dessert. The pasta actually had appearance of being prepared earlier and just reheated and not fresh. Server was not too polished for the prices charged on some dishes. Felt more like fast food counter service. Very weak customer satisfaction . Jupiter venue much more upscale . Oh forgot they seated us at table with used and dirty dishes and utensils. Might be ok for pizza which seems to be main food being ordered

We visited this restaurant for the first time for a slice of pizza. Usually that is the way I tend to judge an Italian eatery. Cucina passed my test, their pizza was very good. The service was very good and the restaurant dining room was contemporary and they also had a few outdoor tables,. I also returned soon after for Chicken Milanese which was also good.

I was told about this place by a friend and thought we'd give it a try. Hidden in the middle of a strip mall, this Italian restaurant has a very informal atmosphere but don't let that fool you. The menu is varied and delicious! Home style cooking, pleasant staff and decent wine selection, too. There are a few outdoor tables on the sidewalk, a good number of tables and booths inside, and a bar that seems to attract regulars for food and drink. Parking is easy and convenient. Prices are fair. All in all, a great informal Italian cuisine experience. Doc

Rigatoni bolognese, penne vodka and the pizza slices were all very good. Both sauces on the pasta are some of the better we've had. My gluten free pasta was a tad under done but that's fine.

Good food, this is close to the PGA National Resort. Several items on the menu looked good. The Lasagna was a good choice.

Went to this local restaurant and we walked to it from our hotel. As we got closer you could smell the garlic in the air, just like at my grandmothers!! Interior was nothing fancy, a few tables , a few booths and even some counter seating . My wife had the fish of the day (red snapper) cooked with clams mussels and over linguine , delicious . I had calamari Fritte as appetizer and then bolognese sauce on angel hair that was very good and a nice sized portion also.. service was quick friendly and very nice ..

Did delivery takeout this time. Salad and a Stromboli. Both were very good. Salad was fresh and flavorful and the Stromboli was stuffed and huge. Very fresh veggies and great meats. If you're in the PGA resort area. Don't miss this place. It's easy to miss, but don't! Worth a visit for sure.

Food is really good Italian food. They have typical dishes as well as some imaginative alternatives. Service was good and staff efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend Cucina.

We had Cucina cater a party of 12 people. Delivery was right on time and delivery person even took a family photo for us. We had salads, baked ziti, grilled chicken, eggplant parmigiana , chicken Marsala , garlic knots and pizza. Everything was perfect. No hesitation about recommending Cucina Palm Beach Gardens.

Hawaiian pizza was delicious! Great crust! We will come back again with friends! A great place but we wonder if happy hour is scheduled on weekdays.

Driving and walking by CUCUNA Palm Beach Gardens i always assumed that it was a local pizza joint. However eating there for the first time I was impressed by the broad menu. Our food was excellent - the eggplant rollatine was great; the sauce rich and flavorful, the ricotta cheese filling plentiful and the eggplant perfectly cooked. The chicken avocado sandwich was well balanced - the chicken breast was tasty and there was plenty of fresh avocado. The truffle fries were great - freshly cooked and nicely crisp. The wine and beer offerings were good. So, next visit we'll have to try the New York-style pizza. And, we'll be back.

Nice crispy pizza crust and delicious large salads. First thing that came out were the garlic knots. They were amazing and they would bring another plate as soon as we ate them all! The calamari was perfectly fried with a spicy sauce for dipping. We also ordered the roasted beet salad and pomodoro bruciato. The torched tomato's with the Asiago and balsamic fig dressing were a delicious treat. And the beet salad (full disclosure - don't like beets but someone in our party ordered it) it really surprised me - the flavor was delicious. We also ordered two pizzas. La Mela Tartufata with Caramelized Apples, Onions, Gorgonzola Cheese, White Truffle Oil, and Toasted Pistachios. Never had a pizza with pistachios - then you are missing out. This pizza was full of flavor and very unique. We also got the "Fun"guy with Mix Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Parmesan Grilled Scallions, Mushroom Sauce, and Truffle oil drizzle. If you like mushrooms then this is the pizza for you. Very enjoyable dinner - great friendly service and lots of options for vegetarians. So happy to have a good pizza place in the Gardens area.

I was taken there with some friends . I was told that the eggplant with pasta is good , I ordered it w a ceasar salad . Yes the pasta is good ! BUT small - lunch size - ok . The salad was also small . I like the food not the price ! The eggplant was $18. And the salad was a few lettuce was almost $8. Will I go back ? Not sure ??

First, let me start by saying I picked place because it had good reviews. It was a Sunday night. We sat down and relatively fast and we waited about 15 minutes before somebody came over to take our order or bring us water. When the way to came over and replaced our dinner orders and drinks. My husband order pasta Primavera and I ordered the liver and onions special when he ordered his pasta Primavera he asked for extra garlic and Advised. He wanted it in garlic and oil when our food came he received pasta Primavera in a red sauce and pasta was almost not chewable. It was not al dente it was raw. He decided to eat it since he wanted to have his meal with me . My first piece of liver was tough and hard. So we were beginning to become frustrated. Well the second piece I could not even cut into. It was truly like shoe leather!!!! At that time We asked speak to the manger and the manager happen to be our waiter !!! I gave him my fork and said please try to cut through this he agreed that it was completely unacceptable at that time. I mentioned that my husband's dinner should've been garlic and oil and he apologized and offered to give us order to go. So as we got our checks, he placed down a order of spaghetti with garlic and oil, and it was not even pasta Primavera not to mention that we had ordered ziti on the original... again he apologized and went back into the kitchen but I told him please it's OK just leave it and give us a check. When we got home, we had ziti plain with no garlic and nothing in it!!! I have to say this is the worst restaurant we have ever been to in Jupiter or surrounding area. In addition, the waiter was the manager leading me to believe they were shorthanded .

The food and service complement each other ... The service is excellent and the food just so wonderfully presented and with flavor ... definitely will come back time again and again

We had Noah as our waiter. Excellent customer service. The food arrived at our table hot and it was delicious. They use quality ingredients. We couldn't finish our meals so we took it home along with a huge piece of cheesecake drizzled with chocolate. Also delicious! We will be back!

Service was very good but portions were small,not much taste and seemed over priced for a neighborhood restaurant. Pizzas looked very good , best to go just for pizza

Walked across street while waiting on wife at Doctor's appointment, found nice outdoor seating at this cute little Italian restaurant. I was so pleasantly surprised they had slices and so good, just like New York, crisp and perfect to my palate just out of oven. I'll give the slices five stars for sure. If I was in New York City, I think they would still be five star :-) Cold beer, great service.... I'll be back

with every visit I feel as if I'm home in pajamas they are such a warm an welcoming environment. pizza by far best in Florida and I lived in nyc w the best for years. This place takes the cake smile enjoy top wines and then enjoy variety of amazing Italian

So yes to five stars, but five stars in comparison to other little cute Italian places. A variety of pizza pastas and other dishes. Ample salads and interesting appies. Decent wine list and excellent service. In my opinion their cauliflower crust on their pizza is better than the real thing! Probably the best pizzas we've had since moving to the area. And I loved the sweet twist in their Caesar dressing. Look forward to next time!

Had a lovely lunch with family at Cucina Palm Beach Gardens. Great food and service! I think Mala (sp?) was our waiter and it was a fabulous meal all around! Nice and authentic Italian! Super tasty!

The food was amazing and our waiter Diego was great I would Highly recommend this place

We had a blast at cucina palm beach gardens, enjoyed it with the family, great Service was on fantastic. i'm from Connecticut and the Pizza reminds me just like it my kids think it's even better. We sat outside great atmosphere. We are going to be regular here every week.

I love this place!! Probably my go to weekly. Lovely ambiance and service, and the food is absolutely delicious!

Ate there today and was disappointed after having heard positive comments about the restaurant. The amount of pasta with the clams was barely enough to be considered an appetizer. In addition the pasta was overcooked and tasted like it. The service was the the only highlight of the experience. D......

Ordered Margherita pizza for delivery with the gluten free crust and extra sauce and it was probably the worst pizza I've ever had. The cheese was falling off the pizza and the crust was soggy from the extra sauce.

What a great find this restaurant was! It's a storefront in a mall that didn't look special from the outside. As soon as we were seated two delicious garlic rolls appeared. Yum! We shared a Caesar salad. My husband ordered some kind of snapper dinner. It was a very generous portion which he really enjoyed. My rigatoni bolognese was terrific. The portion was just right - large enough to be more than satisfying but, unlike many other restaurants, the proportion of sauce to pasta was great! Next time we are in town we will definitely return. By the way, they seem to go a big carry/out business as well, including a lot of pizza. We may have to try that next time.

EVERY component of our dinner was phenomenal! From the amazing fresh warm herb rolls, to the lentil minestrone, to the beet salad to the salmon over Parmesan risotto with charred asparagus- beyond delicious.!! Noah our server had perfect recommendations, and he and the rest of the staff were very attentive. We originally went for pizza, but couldn't resist the temptation of the other menu items. We WILL return - just not sure if for pizza or dinner. A gem for sure!

We popped in to grab some food to go today, but the manager, who treated the place as if it was his own, welcomed us so much we decided to sit and enjoy our meal there. My fiancé ordered a Greek salad with filet and I ordered the same salad with crispy chicken. Yummmm!! He also brought bread and dang, it was amazing! We are from California so we won't be able to frequent this spot often, but when we return to Palm Beach, we will be back here...for the pizza next time!!

Unbelievably bad. Don't waste your time going here. Ordered the lobster ravioli, highly recommended by someone who doesn't know food. It was cold. Uncooked ravioli! In some kind of slimy sauce with chunks of raw tomato. I simply walked out.

Incredibly fast service for pick-up. Our pizzas were ready in 10 minutes from the time we ordered. Unfortunately, the calamari fritti was not ready and we had to wait a few minutes. The wait was not long, but it was undercooked and squid was rubbery. This is a rather small restaurant, but looked like it would be an enjoyable experience to dine. They had live music the night we were there. The pizzas were thin crust and I enjoyed them. Others in our party were not as enthusiastic. The calamari was undercooked, but was probably not the best thing to order for takeout. They have a pretty extensive Italian menu and I plan to try some other selections.

We like Cucina. Their food is usually fresh. However, lately we have been a bit dissapointed with the quality. The dinner rolls they serve are no longer fresh. They used to be soft and pillowy, but now they are "day-old."
