La Cucina Ristorante Easton

Enjoyed a nice anniversary dinner here on a Thursday evening. We were warmly greeted and brought to our round, hammered copper table. Our server, Courtney, was super nice, friendly and attentive. Obviously loved working there. The food was pretty amazing, very tasty with large portions. The drinks were similar. Tasty and large. Food and drinks were brought to us pretty quickly. The menu selection was extensive, everything looked good! The atmosphere was lively, with a lot of class wherever you looked. Everyone, staff & customers seemed to be enjoying themselves. Parking was a little challenging but we were lucky to find a spot right out front. Definitely a place to visit over and over.

Outstanding experience. Beautiful atmosphere, very friendly staff and simply a very pleasurable experience over all. Some dishes have smaller portions than might be expected (the Bruschetta for instance) was DELICIOUS, but small for the price, like very small. But once again, extremely tasty - so you be the judge there. The lamb shank, a weekend special I was told, was out of this world delicious and was a good value for how much food was on the plate. Highly highly recommend. My partners Scallop & Shrimp Scampy was once again, excellent tasting and beautifully presented, if a touch small in size. Overall I'd say this is a real gem of a restaurant and I'd give this restaurant another go any time!

We had a great lunch in late October with a fabulous waitress Marissa. We booked our anniversary dinner with friend for Marissa’s section in the dining room. I confirmed our reservation twice. When we arrived, we were seated in the back of the balcony next to the waiter station. When we asked why we were not seated where we asked, we were told by the hostess that people reserve tables in the dining room when they make reservations. She ignored the fact that we only drove 45 minutes because we were promised to eat in the dining room with Marissa the waitress. The hostess said we could sit at the bar if we wanted. We proceeded to wait 45 minutes before we got our first drink, 1 hour and 10 minutes for our appetizers and 2 hours for our dinner. Decent food, but poor service and bad attitude by hostess not worth the effort. Very disappointing to say the least.

Oh boy, do I have a foodgasmic review for you! My mouth is still watering just thinking about our meal at La Cucina. My fiancé and I are foodies, so when we find a new spot that blows our minds, it's a reason to celebrate. And boy, did we celebrate! Let's start with the appetizers. We ordered the X Rated and Lemon Drop Martinis, and oh my god, I felt like I was sipping heaven. Then came the Calamari, and let me tell you, it was crispy and tender at the same time. And don't even get me started on the oysters. We had both raw and Rockefeller, and they were so fresh and juicy that I felt like I was diving into the ocean with each bite. Now, onto the main course. My fiancé had the Lobster ravioli with asparagus and Sea Scallops, and she said it was one of the best ravioli dishes she's ever had. I'm not even kidding, she's a ravioli expert! But my Braised Short Rib was a whole other level of deliciousness. It was so tender that I didn't even need a knife. I swear, it was fall-off-the-bone good. My fiancé was low-key jealous that she didn't order it herself. But wait, there's more! We somehow found room for dessert, and let me tell you, the Triple Layer Chocolate Cake was a chocolate lover's dream come true. It was sweet, rich, and decadent, just the way we like it. Though I will say, it was a tad dry for my taste, but who am I kidding? I still ate every last crumb. And can we talk about the service for a second? The servers were amazing, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel like we were the only two people in the restaurant, even though it was packed. We left feeling full, happy, and ready to make La Cucina our new yearly go-to spot. In conclusion, if you're looking for a food experience that'll make you feel like you're in food heaven, La Cucina is the place to be. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
