We have been to Cucina Bella many times over the past 4 years. Today it was very disappointing. The food portions were smaller, it tasted different. The tiramisu tasted like nothing. Very sad to see it go downhill.

I have dined at Cucina Bella's several times in the past, mainly in the years of( 2005-2012). I had a life changing event that paused my dining out until this year of 2022, at which time I brought my family to Cucina's for dinner. I am sorry to say it is not serving the great quality of food it once was. It is in fact horribly below the one star I rated it at, and not worth the money you spend there. If you do go, DO NOT ORDER THE MARTINIs or their MEATBALLS. The martinis are weird sugar water and the meatballs are horrifying, there is no meat in the meatballs, I mean NO MEAT in the meatballs at a Italian Restaurant. What is served, representing meatballs are made of something unrecognizable, tasteless and disgusting, spongy like marshmellows, but tasteless. Even Aldi's has better meatballs than what I was served this recent visit at Cucina Bella's . This is not the Cucina Bella's I once frequented in the past. Buyer beware, don't waste your money here! Terribly disappointed!

I had a huuuuge craving for quality Fettucine Alfredo, and while I don’t have experience with authentic Italian cuisine, this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Perfectly cooked noodles, amazingly rich flavor, and a HUGE portion of pasta…… Oh my goodness.Even though it was PACKED inside, my wife was contacted in the time alotted and was able to be in and out for take out. She said she had never seen it so full! Can’t wait to visit during date night!This was actually my first time having anything from Cucina Bella, and it was taken to go. It was exactly what I was wanting, and I even had enough for leftovers. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for quality Italian food.

Excellent cuisine in a classy atmosphere. Great place for a romantic dinner or date night. Reservations recommended due to how popular this place is.
Very overpriced. My food was not good. I believe it would have been, but there was a VERY sweet sauce over my entire plate. The plus side was it is beautiful and our waitress was very nice!

Good Italian food portion size was thereService a little slow atmosphere was
My husband and I rolled in with 9 children…we were celebrating our daughter’s 9th birthday with her friends. This is her favorite place so she chose this to experience with them. We had such an amazing experience. The patience that the staff showed us was remarkable. Our waitress Brianna was fantastic. We felt so bad because of our large group size and the fact that we were a hot mess at times. Brianna showed us nothing but grace and seemed so happy to be helping us. Thank you to the hostesses who have a thankless job, to Brianna our amazing waitress, to the man who helped us clean up a spill and of course the chefs who make everything taste so wonderful!

This was our first and only time we will eat at Cucina Bella. One star for our waitress who was super nice.We ordered the eggplant lasagna with the a side of seafood chowder soup and a build your own pasta with a side Caesar salad.First, the complimentary bread came out slightly warm, hard, dry and tasted off. Then, the salad and soup came out, and both were even worse than the bread. The soup was as bland as you can get, we actually added a ton of salt to it ourselves. The “Caesar” dressing was actually a mix of Caesar and Italian dressing. Our waitress even mentioned someone earlier made the same complaint. I asked her to take it off our check since it was a $5.00 up charge and I only had a couple of bites before she threw the rest away.Afterwards, our entrees came out and the Alfredo angel hair pasta was literally one of the grossest pasta dishes I have ever tasted. I don’t even cook and when I make grocery store pasta, it tastes better than this $18.00 entree. I had one bite and literally flagged her down and told her it was absolutely awful and to take it back. I’ve never sent food back so quickly in my life. It was bland, dry and runny. She offered to have it remade but I said no thanks, however I may order something else. Luckily, my boyfriend liked his eggplant lasagna but I’m not sure if he was just trying to be polite because when I tasted it it was overly salted but bland at the same time.I declined ordering any other food and we were both in awe over the experience. Waitress was super friendly and I felt bad for her but honestly it was that bad and for the cost, blew our minds.
