Ordered food at 7:20pm, food was not served until 8:30pm.1. Cod fish is salty, no sauce. I quality is below average. (I can make better ones at home myself)2. Ribs were not good at all.3. Califlower soup was so plain, like drinking milkWith this price, I expect good quality food and service.Extremely slow.Extremely expensive, not worth it with this kind of quality.Do not waste your money at this place!

Came in last night and had an amazing time. Our server(Sydney, hopefully spelt correctly) was just the perfect host. Great knowledge of food and wine, with plenty of humour.Could not have asked for a better night from a service and food point of view. The meatballs(all 5 of them) and the burger were flavourful and good sizes. Would highly recommend Cucina. Look forward to the next visit.

Convenient location for many workers. Service is good, food is fine but not for the price. Daily risotto special was slightly under done with an off-tasting flavour I couldn't pinpoint. The real issue is pricing, over $40 for a lunch of the risotto, sparkling water and a tip.

Good food, but weird that my friend and I each ordered the same (delicious) kale salad, but my portion was on a smaller plate...maybe they only gave me a half portion? But they still charged me for two full potions...

We went to Cucina for my birthday visiting Calgary from out of town. I was hoping for homemade authentic Italian food, however the gnocchi we had was clearly store bought and the sauces were very heavy, not authentic at all. Our meatball appetizer was good, tiramisu for dessert was great. Meals costing upwards of 30$ per plate, I was expecting more. We won't be back.

Ordered a Carbonara pasta to go. Nothing like advertised. Bland spaghetti with cheap quality bacon strips. Pretty sure the sauce was just milk. Definitely not worth 17$.

We visited Cucina for New Year's Eve 4-course dinner and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was the perfect balance of cozy and lively, the menu was absolutely delicious (and honestly well priced for that type of fine dining), and the service excellent and so friendly. We can't wait to come back again to try more of their food and enjoy in their quaint atmosphere. Thanks so much for helping make our night and our NYE so special!

I had my birthday dinner here last night. The food was nothing short of amazing. The truffle lasagna, bruschetta, crispy shrimp and lemon posset were outstanding. Their wine menu is impressive and the service was impeccable. We will definitely be back soon.
New Years Eve menu food quality and drinks was not worth the price. Service was also fairly poor - had to repeat requests multiple times, cook and instructions were not followed, did not give the right items, spilled over our clothing, etc.

Dinner with four couples. Food was good but my Caesar salad was over dressed even though I ordered light dressing. The salmon however was perfection. Everyone “cleaned their plates” so all was well received. Our waitperson was excellent. It was too loud though - lots of kitchen noise as it’s open to the restaurant and table placement felt slightly crowded. But that’s nitpicking and overall we had a good experience.Dietary restrictions: They did their best to accommodate lower fat alterations.

Ambiance is great, you can go in casual or date night. Food was terrific as always. Had some vegans with us and there were some amazing options for them . Service was impeccable. Wine list top notch. Will be back!
