Food was pretty good. Expensive for the size you get. It's really tight in the restaurant but the ambiance is

This little gem was outstanding for our table of 4! The wait staff was efficient and Kim made us feel so at ease. The cuisine recommendation were spot on delicious and plentiful. The preparation of the calamari was tender and indulgent. We regrettably toppled wine glasses and the owners were unfazed and gracious. This is a destination dining establishment that leaves you feeling like famiglia. We will definitely be returning!!!

Excellent hidden gem! So glad I happened to find this place. Staff were so nice and personable and the food was amazing! I loved the atmosphere, very warm and inviting. The pesto penne chicken was the best, you will not be disappointed!

What a nice cozy restaurant. We came here by accident and immediately realized that it was fate. The food is great, the staff were ALL super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was so fitting to the food and vibe that I kept forgetting that I wasn't on vacation somewhere. The next time we come here will be soon and it won't be by accident this time.

$32 for a very small pizza and Caesar salad. Won’t be back.Look at owner feedback, below. Way to be! And you are right I didn't leave a tip, it was take out. Which I will say was very easy seeing there wasn't a single person in the restaurant eating at 5:30 on a Friday evening......It was a Friday. But I will let your responses to my review and other customers below show your true colors.
Loved the home-style feel of this restaurant. Very intimate space with not a lot of tables but I really liked it and the service along with the food were both excellent. Highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. The group of 6 I came with started with the calamari and white bean bruschetta which were both great. I got the pork chops with caramelized carrots and mashed potatoes. Will definitely be coming back thank you!!

Food was good, small portions, but good. Caesar dressing was very fishy. Prices high for what you get. Small pizza and caesar salad was $32 for takeout. Place was totally empty on a Friday night at 5:30 when I picked up takout, not a great sign. Owner is very rude to customers as well.

I went to visit friends last weekend and we went to Cucina 38 which has become a favorite of theirs. This spot is a cute neighborhood restaurant filled with yummyness. The staff at first I felt was not that friendly but once we sat down they warmed up. The waitress was kind and attentive. I ordered a salad to start which was so good and the margarita pizza which was delicious. My friend got a fennel and sausage pasta which looked so good as well. My favorite part of this meal was the cannolis. OH EM GEE! These were the best I have ever had! I could have taken them home haha. I would recommend coming here for easy casual lunch or just for some warm comfort food.

I live right down the street and literally on the same road as Cucina 38. I admit that it can be difficult to run a successful and competitive Italian restaurant in such a close vicinity to Federal Hill RI... I do not envy them, but they are missing the mark here. I truly wanted this to be a stellar experience, but alas, it was not. Sorry to say, but this is an accurate 3 star. The staff and management are kind and welcoming, but the cuisine is a step below the high bar set by other local/nearby establishments.

Lovely find! Food was amazing, and the staff and owner/chef were delightful. Lovely ambiance of a small treasure. Daughter had gnocchi made fresh with a lovely sauce. Haddock over risotto was melt in your mouth. We will be back.
