La Cucina Italiana

Food was tasty, good portion sizes (my partner and I split a meal). We had: Empandas - two flaky pastries stuffed with chicken and served with roasted red pepper sauce. Chicken Toscano - marinated chicken breast, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, garlic and olio. Complimentary bread sprinkled with Parmesan was served with the meal. Server was attentive and polite, checking on us multiple times during the meal and providing anything we needed. I was disappointed that she didn’t know much about the menu or what certain parts of each dish were. I asked what olio was and she said a creamy cheese sauce (which it wasn’t). Atmosphere was laid back and very quiet, perfect for conversation.

We hadn’t been there since it was a Cuban restaurant. We were thrilled to know the food and service were still amazing. We enjoyed the appetizers and food. Highly recommend, great Italian food!

We read some reviews and decided to give this little gem a try….So happy we did! We got personal service from the amazing chef, along with his recommendations, which did not disappoint! If we were closer, it would be a regular spot for us!!!

Rigatoni alla vodka was amazing Cappuccino coffee was delicious and stronger Bread with Parmesan was delicious Mozzarella sticks were crushed

We were extremely impressed with the quality of our food and how fast everything came out! We’ve been a handful of times and it’s always just as good as the last. I would definitely recommend, especially the Chicken Milanese.

I give it an 8/10. Friendly service and the food was pretty good. The mozzarella sticks are a MUST!

We stumbled upon this place as I was craving pasta and lately have had a hard time finding good Italian um the Boro…. Welp look no further as this place is delicious!!! My husband says the BEST tiramisu he has ever had… the meatballs are a must to try… didn’t get pics of the food as we ate it too quickly

The food is excellent! We had the mussels, Cuban Tamales and the Chicken Involtino with mushroom risotto. Prices are fair, Mojitos are great - they have a full bar and they now have music on Friday nights. We have been here several times and never disappointed.

Every time my family and I eat here I'm impressed. Fresh pasta and scratch made sauces. This place is legit! See you next week!I'll post pics next time - I just dug in tonight

The food was delicious and the music singer "Luna" made the night special we will be back

Nothing was good, absolutely terrible food even disgusting climbs oraganata und cooked. Linguine and clams the garlic was burnt causing whole dish to be bitter. My friend had some kind of creamo pasta dish that was completely unbeatabl. IT WAS MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH A BIT OF VEGGIES Service was ok. Ambianc, I have been in nicer truck stop choke and pukes that were nicer. Al and all, STAY AWA!!! FIRE THE CHEF.... Truly doesn't deserve 1 star.

Great food, cool atmosphere, service was slow but the waitress said they were short handed, so it's understandable. Will return.

When it was a Cuban restaurant it was AMAZNG. Tasted like restaurants I'd gone to in NYC. Ordered today. The Cuban sampler was blander than we came to expect. Tried the Chicken Francese. It was on a bed of pasta. The pasta had so much salt, it was INEDIBLE!! Had my wife try it. She agreed. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Amazing service! People are so kind friendly and respectful, excellent Ambiance, definitely great Food and Service. I definitely recommend it.

My friend and I went today excited to try this restaurant and it was closed. It was Wednesday at 11:30am. Very disappointed.

We ate there on Friday, 5/30/25, my 18-year-old daughter got food poisoning. We are pretty sure it was the clams. Her friend had the muscles, and he was fine. She had a dish with muscles and clams, and within 3 hours, she was vomiting. She vomited a fee more times and was miserable all day yesterday. Other than that the food was tasting and no one else got sick. The service was also very good and the waitress was sweet and attentive. Maybe they just need to check their source or handling of the clams.

Excellent food and service! Large portions and piping hot food! The bread they served in the beginning was delicious too!

OMG, people of Rutherford County. Yall have got to get here. Garlic bread comes to the table, ordered the empandas (beef), ham croquettes, Italian soup, fried chicken with spicy manaria sauce melted cheese. The entire meal was absolutely wonderful.

Went here Valentines Day 2025 and took my wife for some 5 star Italian food. Well the 5 star does not apply to this restaurant. After ordering are food we waited 45 minutes for it to come, very small portion for the price and no salad with entree and very little bread while you waited for your food, Ambiance was low kinda like a bar or fast food scene. Definitely not what I expected and will never go back, There is much better restaurants out there
