    Excellent Italian food, with the right textures and flavors, combined with a huge menu. They have 6 different options just for veal! Friendly staff, and their Italian owner running the show in person really makes a difference in the authenticity of the food.

    This is a lovely restaurant with an extensive menu. We were dining in the late afternoon & the service was excellent. The Aperol Spritz was quite good & the focaccia with garlic herbed oil was a delight. The exceedingly large greek salad was great, but since it is served with the various ingredients sectioned separately in the bowl , it was difficult for us to share. Our main was Cacio e Pepe which was quite a show being made in a large Pecorino cheese wheel. It was plenty for us to share & was very flavorful. We ended our shared meal with a PERFECT Tiramisu! We had ordered the 2 alcoholic drinks & there was more food than we really needed which led to a little bit of a surprise when the bill came! But it WAS worth it! Thanks!

    The food was delicious, service was great. The space heaters on the patio were not efficient and it was uncomfortably cold.

    We really enjoyed It's Italian Cucina. The food was excellent the service was very good. We utilized the prefix menu for Valentine's Dinner and enjoyed every course. Our waitress Katie was quick to help us choose a good wine to go with all our choices. The gluten free options were a nice bonus so my wife could confidently choose her dishes. The service was very well timed, enough so we could enjoy but not so long that we had dirty plates waiting in front of us. Over all an excellent restaurant for a special meal like Valentine's. It was remarkably inexpensive as well. I was surprised the prefix menu with a bottle of wine for two was less than $80 before tip. I would definitely recommend.

    We sat outside on a chilly evening - the heaters and plastic sheeting were perfect and we comfortably ate with jackets off. Server was excellent! Food… delicious! We shared the crab fingers appetizer ( the sauce was so good I kept it around as a dip for the bread!) The
