We enjoyed our meals all the while trying to ignore the waiter the rudest man I have ever met, perhaps, next time ask your customer to serve you as you have no intension of serving your customers well.

This place has just turned into my most favourite place on the coast. I went with my two daugthers and wife on saturday and was really impressed with the food. The live music was great service could have been a bit better had a little wait for our food but it was all forgotten when we had it in front of us. There is a no rush atmosphere here and we injoyed it thank you!

I have been to this restaurant many times and all have been a pleasant experience however on my last visit it did not meet even my lowest expectations the entre sounded delicious italian sausages with galic bread and salad it came out with the sausages raw and one scabby piece of bread (not even garlic) and a few bits of limp lettuce. We sent it back. The mains were also disappointing my partner had creamy chicken and mushroom pasta it was flavorless and the pasta was under cooked and I opted for the vegetarian basil pesto pasta it was packed full of garlic you couldn't even taste the basil (a jar of coles select pesto is more appetising). We weren't game enough to have dessert because everything else was a letdown! The whole experience wasn't worth it we will not return.

My favorite CC restaurant! Consistently very good food over long haul. Small menu but top quality, BYO, small restaurant so book ahead. Reasonable wine list. Never disappoints!

A really authentic Italian restaurant is hard to find. This on fits the bill entirely. A beautiful meal in lovely surrounds with very good service.

Love the food at La Cucina, it never disappoints however the service is somewhat up and down and is really dependent on who is there at the time. The owner is always accommodating. Highly recommend the lamb and the desserts are to die for. Looking forward to trying out their breakfast.

W'd had 2 recommendations for this place. Had the crostini shared for entree, excellent. I then had the daily special, spatchcock, perfectly cooked and delicious and my partner had the gnocchi, perfectly cooked but, perhaps, a little too much sauce and needed something with it.

Our service was excellent, most attentive and friendly without being intrusive. This restaurant is now one of two worth visiting on the coast, Rojo Rocket being the other. Well done, great italian food and reasonably priced. Wine list an italian winner and not stupidly priced.

We dined here on a Saturday night. Food was quite filling. The desserts were great, we had the pannacotta and affogato. Pretty cosy and laid back atmosphere.

What ruined my night was the waiter. He was incredibly rude; I think he was offended when we asked for parmesan cheese for our pasta. He came over and snarled something like "oh, well anything will go with anything then". It isn't up to him what I like.

Also, when we took our bill to the front counter to fix it up, and when the young girl came to help us out, the older man came and shoved in front of her and snatched the bill off her. Honestly, there's no need for that, it wasn't even that busy by that time either. I don't see me going back too soon.
