I had to give La Cucina a review! We recently had our daughters wedding at Nuzzos Farm in Branford, CT and had La Cucina as our caterer! Joy was wonderful to work with and her staff we had for the day of the wedding were phenomenal!! The food was outstanding!!! Joy not only did all the incredible appetizers but all of the dinner buffet foods at the wedding along with my daughter’s beautiful wedding cake, huge dessert table, coffees, teas etc! I can’t say it enough how incredible the food was! Everyone at the wedding came up to us and we’re so so happy and raved about all of the food! Many thanks to Joy and her team! We highly recommend them and are so thankful and blessed they made our daughter and son in laws wedding day so special! It was amazing!!

I came here looking for ready to eat foods and see that you deliver. Hmmm. Not to my address. OK. I'll pick it up. Then YOU decide I live too far away to order?WOW! You make it hard to do business.

I began picking up soups and acai bowls from La Cucina about a year or two ago. Everything that I have purchased has been very good to excellent - no matter what. And, the staff is always friendly and the place is clean.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I’m not a great cook- not do I really want to be a great cook. I hate shopping, preparing and actually making a mess cooking something that might not really be all that great. I like to think of myself as a creative person- but again- when it comes to what I want for lunch or dinner I am completely stumped. Plus we are a small household of busy working on projects people- So La Cuchina has become my HERO of sorts.Great choices, nicely prepared and EASY!! They have both healthy choices ( summer ratatouille! grilled chicken in citrus quinoa) and Mac and Cheese. The meat balls were good, ( I like them denser ( but that might mean overcooked since my mom , although a great person wasn’t a great cook and I’m sort of used to everything over cooked or burnt- which I actually love) the eggplant parm was excellent and this week I’m going for the lasagne. It’s been now about 3 weeks and I’ve been buying 6-12 meals there per week and still loving the no waste, no think, no prep and assortment of meals that save time and are EASY for me. I think the prices are fair. I’m really tempted to use it for a dinner party since I’m good with the table but not with the cooking.This place is a godsend to me and the next step from having a personal chef. I LOVE YOU AND PLEASE NEVER LEAVE ME! The staff there is usually very helpful, Laura even bright things to my car because I hurt my knee and was having a hard time walking. 5 stars for the super neat clean store, helpful staff and choices I’m ready made foods.If I can suggest anything, I wish I could return all the plastic containers for a sterilized reuse discount club program maybe? Anyway, THANK YOU CHEFS!

Great for a quick lunch choice, even better to pick up a few dinner options. We like their salads, quesadilla, dinner entrees and LOVE their meatballs! Nice friendly crew.

The food is very good. Portion sizes are generous.. Over time it has become my favorite spot in Guilford to grab a great meal ata reasonable price. Friendly staff too.They need to put a "Best Use By" date or "Expiration" date on each package.

The people who work behind the counter are friendly and helpful. The food is very good. Portion sizes are adequate. I was told that the entrees should be consumed within 3 days of purchase. After stopping in on consecutive days, I could see the same entrees available. A "Best Use By" date or "Expiration" date on each item is helpful.
So on behalf of North Branford Ambulance Co #4. Thank you sooo much for the meals. Your food is outstanding. Lots of happy first responder bellies.

I stopped by on a whim yesterday to pick up a couple different meals. I never leave reviews but I cannot tell you how amazingly tasty the meals I got were. Chicken quesadilla and flat steak with sweet potatoes. Will definitely go back.
