Cucina Italiana

Booked online and got confirmation and reminder. Turned up at 2pm on the Sunday to find the shutters down and no info available. Very disappointed as then had to find somewhere to eat at short notice in the rain with 2 hungry teenagers. Not the nice treat I’d planned with my children!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and rreally excellent value for money.

Turned up and it’s not even open! And then get asked to write a review!!

Wasn’t t even open. Won’t be going back. Glad I never paid a deposit.

The waitress was lovely and very helpful however the wine delivery hadn't turned up so there was none of the wine that we wanted to go with our meal. The sea bass came without the sauce it was supposed to be served with and was dry it also didnt taste very fresh. We didnt stay for dessert. The waitress was on her own and seemed to be apologising to all the customers. It was my 2nd time and I returned after a lovely faultless 1st visit but not to sure if we will be returning again

Very good food at very good prices. We were all well pleased

Excellent food and service couldn't fault anything, been a few times and will definitely be going back

Fabulous food and freindly staff. Wonderful will be back again

Thought the service was a little slow, but the staff were very friendly

Avoid the cocktails at all cost! It's good, but the prices show you're in a cheap restaurant, and don't expect the service to make up for it. You get what you pay for

Good attentive service with a smile. Noise level was not your fault-screeching baby should have been in bed!

nice restaurant, good food and great service. a good choice of classic Italian dishes and some really nice wines, all at a reasonable price for the city centre. would recommend.

Lovely interior, friendly staff good service nice atmosphere, great food...

Good value lunch. Service was fine too. Starters we’re the best course; fried calamari and a dish of chicken & mushroom - very good. The pizzas we’re a bit too wet but not so bad as to complain. Would visit again for their good value lunch deal.

Lovely food and great service. A pleasure to dine there.

Lovely meal and fantastic service at an extremely reasonable price for the early doors menu. We will be returning!

Good food at reasonable price. Staff very friendly and helpful

We walked in with 1 extra person. This was a lunch for 7 to celebrate the recent retirements of two colleagues. We had a very attentive and charming waiter. Our food came fast and just as we had ordered. The food was good, nicely presented and appropriately proportioned. It wasn’t fine dining, but was tasty. The restaurant was a pleasant place to be. We each ate two courses, coffee and a beer or glass of wine for less than £20 each. We had a relaxing lunch over two hours. I would recommend this place to my to anyone.

Incredibly noisy... Had to almost shout to get myself heard... The only negative point about the visit. I'm sure some carpet / soft furnishings would improve it.

Lovely food and good service good. Had a nice visit.

Good food & good value for money, would definitely recommend

The food was delicious! And the early food menu was very good value for money, with quick and friendly service too :)

Lovely meals, good value and good service. Would definitely recommend

First visit since under new management (used to be Bistro Jacques). Very nice food and great service. Will go again

Liked h starter but ordered ribs for main came with finch fries on plate no salad or veg sauce was too sweet tasted like from jar could be better sorry! Been before this change of menu thought better before

Pre theatre visit. Very pleasant. Nice food. Would come again.

Great service and delicious food. Would definitely go back again!!

This is a nice restaurant. When we visited there were a number of large parties but not enough staff. Pre dinner cocktails took ages to arrive as did starters one of which was cold. Food was very tasty once problems were sorted and the waitresses were very pleasant and helpful even though very short staffed. Not enough waiting staff for a Saturday night which spoilt our experience.

Lovely meal & attentive friendly staff. Great value for money

Main course haddock very dry. Poor dessert choice, mostly British not Italian dishes. No gelato!

Lovely restaurant nothing was too much trouble staff lovely thank you

Good food, nice atmosphere, excellent staff. First visit but certainly not the last.

Amazing place amazing staff amazing food Warm welcoming for few glasses of wine

The food is incredible, it was so hard to choose because I wanted everything on the menu. Service was so fast and the waiters were lovely. Really great value, cheap food and wine but great quality.

Nice meal with wine, relaxed atmosphere, very attentive staff. Enjoyed the evening

Disappointed that they don’t have a pre theatre menu! Early menu fixed price ends at 5pm. It is virtually adjacent to Philharmonic Hall! Might encourage a few more punters!!

I can't complain because the food was nice. I had mussels for starters, the sauce was abit weak but the mussels themselves were beaut. I had salmon pasta for mains and it was delicious and a good size portion as well. The drinks were the only let down...we ordered a round of cocktails and they were very weak and not very well put together...basic cocktail tbh. Also, it had on the menu as well as website that there was an offer on and the reason we booked was to avail of this offer as we are all students so we try and be thrifty as possible. To find out the offer had been retracted was disappointing however, despite this, our waitress let us avail of a drinks offer despite the allowed timeframe having past (kind of needed it tho as the drinks were so weak). Overall, good, but don't think I'd return tbh unless I was stuck

Very good service and excellent food. Chose from the fixed price menu which had a huge range. Partner enjoyed the cocktail offer (2 for £7.50). Will return.

busy theatre evening great service great food at reasonable prices plus cocktail happy hours 5-7 recommended for pre theatre or any other time. good location for philharmonic and everyman theatres

First time visit, very impressed. Good food, service and value. The early doors menu is particularly good value, especially as there is a wide selection to choose from.

Average at best. Not that impressed with the food quality or presentation. Also very noisy as no soft furnishings and lots of cackling women in when we dined.

Excellent and friendly service. Food was really, really nice. Used to go to Bistro Jacques, which was there before this restaurant, and was disappointed to see it go. Delighted it’s been replaced with a place just as good, if not better. Definitely going back. Grazie Mille!

Lovely food at reasonable prices in lovely surroundings The staff were friendly and very attentive although not in your face Even with 5 children, it was as relaxing an experience as we could hope for

This was a bad experience. There were 6 of us on a Monday evening. Drink orders were taken fairly quickly and arrived in a reasonable time. But from then on things slowed down considerably. There were nowhere near enough staff on duty so the table wasn't cleared of glasses and we had to wait to order fresh drinks. The food was very inconsistent. 4 people ordered steaks and some of them were tough and gristly. We were there for 2 hours and had to leave without desserts because of the dreadfully slow service.

The waiters were lovely and patient with us, as our extra person was running late. Proper Italian food and good value for money!! Only critism would be the Pina Colada tasted better the first time I went! Other than that, had a positive experience.

Great restaurant with a very good and varied menu. We did the early bird menu which is great value. Would recommend and would most definitely eat there again. Would recommend booking as it was busy when we went there on a Friday evening.

Great made us feel really welcome ! Great value for money and good quality food . Great location too! Service excellent and friendly at the same time .

Food good, service good - served by Helen - price was very reasonable. Worth visiting if you want good Italian food in a nice atmosphere.

The food was lovely. It was busy Saturday so would recommend you book. Went on Groupon voucher which was really good. Staff were friendly. Quick service. You must go.

Food was amazing! will definitely be going again 😃 😃
