La Cucina

A bit pricey for what we got ..

Excellent restaurant! Prices are fair, portions just enough (can't believe someone complained in a previous review... want big portions? go to Anton's or across the line), and the taste and presentation are unbelievable.Service is also above average.White table cloths, white napkins and impecable cutlery.There is ONE thing they should improve on - They could update their bathrooms - They're very clean, but a little dated and dark.

My wife & I had been out most of the day, riding motorcycle for four hours and a bit of hiking. So we were tired and hungry, looking for a place to eat. Did a quick search on our GPS and the name of this restaurant sounded appealing; at least different than the numerous chain type of restaurants. So we went to La Cucina. From outside and inside, an simple appearance, but the service was very good and when we tasted the food, it was a very pleasant surprise!! A very enjoyable meal with a pleasant atmosphere to complete our day. Thank-you to all the staff at La Cucina!!

Always a great meal and fabulous staff.

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants. Everything is delicious and their specials are always unique. Like the t bone veal below.

Best pasta and food hands down.

Very good afogato

Excellent customer service.

Fantastic food - worth reserving even midweek.

Our favorite!!

Our experience was definitely a mixed emotions situation. The decor was nice and comforting, the service was really good. The food was mostly delicious, however the portion sizes were lacking. We weren't expecting to go away from the restaurant stuffed, but to have actually been full from our meals would have been ideal. When one pays $20-40 for their meal and is still hungry afterwards, it's disappointing. Additionally, the duck was tough and not an impressive dish. If you don't mind being hungry after, try the lasagna, it's not a traditional red sauce, instead it has bechamel sauce on top, quite a tasty change. After driving by so many times, we were hoping for more from the restaurant.

Great food, nice service!

This restaurant is the real deal. Friendly and attentive owners and staff. Food was top notch, high quality Italian cuisine in a rustic and romantic setting. Beautiful for a date night or a celebration with the family. Highly recommended and I will be back!

Good food, friendly service, the veal was delicious, great wine selection as well!

Having very delicious dinner. Tried the appetizers and loved them much and posting the photo of artichoke bottom crab mix appetizer, loved that one especially. I talked to the host the chef Owens the restaurant for 40 years. Definitely a place to pay a visit. Besides the food being delicious, they are very polite and nice people.

This Restaurant was lovely and delicious. The staff was very courteous and professional. They were fast to check on the quality and taste of our food after serving and the food was next level tasty. We had a couple of Appetizers and having Dessert was a must after our meals were delicious. I would highly recommend anyone eat here for dinner when looking for an authentic Italian meal.

You must try their tiramisu! You will never forget the taste of it. Super yummy!!!

What a great night! Dinner was delish-must try the Osso Bucco, fritti de mare, and the creme-brulee was so indulging!! I can’t wait to come back. Service was amazing-warm and friendly.

We had Wed night reservations and were taken directly to our table. The food was very good and cooked to perfection. The server was attentive.

The food was was wonderful. Much higher end than I expected. Service was less impressive than the food. Will be returning for the Carbonara.

Awesome food with a great ambiance. One of the waitresses is a former opera singer and sung happy birthday to a guest and it was a unique experience. Can't wait to go again!

Amazing food, greater service . We will come back!!

Food and service fabuleux😊

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic meal here for our anniversary. The service was very professional and the food was excellent. Their wine list covers a wide range of regions and styles, with a specialty in Tuscan wines.

Had a fabulous meal last evening with friends. The staff is so nice; accommodating and the menu has a little bit of everything. Put this on your list for an authentic Italian meal and I'm sure you'll be delighted.

Cozy and friendly great food

Awesome food and nice, friendly staff.

Great service. Best ceasar salad I had in a long time.

First time we went and we’ll definitely be returning. Quaint, amazing service, delicious food - what else could you want?

One of my favorite spots. Pasta is always amazing and fresh flavours with the appetizers you won't be disappointed And the wine list is a good mix of bottles and house wine options.

Best northern cuisine in Vancouver...

Love it.. great food. Uptown people are polite.lol

Great food and service

Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, good service

Loved the experience, it was great start to finish.Felt a little shy for being under dressed. They welcomed us in like family. Very short table wait while exiting customers were excited for us to be there.Got a seasonal mushroom appetizer, and ended up using the free bread to clean up the sauce. Chicken main was excellent. And the affgato was amazing. All desserts and even the Gelato are made in restaurant.May go back during my short visit here. Loved everything about it.

Good family run restaurant. The food is how you expect it and always impressively prepared.

We had a party in the upstairs section. Service was excellent and the food great.

Excellent

Great service, great food, nice looking place, no wifi.

Absolutely amazing food and the service is top notch! We enjoyed the gnocchi and the tortellini for supper, the sauce was fantastic and the fresh pasta was delicious, the perfect texture. Just when I thought I had no more room for anything else, I was asked if we would like to see a dessert menu. When I saw that tiramisu was an option, I couldn't resist. The tiramisu is so light, it melts in your mouth. It has the most spectacular flavour and is by far the BEST tiramisu I have ever eaten.I would 100% recommend La Cucina! The delicious food and attentive, courteous staff make for a wonderful experience.

The food is awesome here. I had the carbonara and it was delicious. Just the right portion size as well. My date had the steak and he really enjoyed it. We shared the chocolate lava cake after and it was so dang good. If you like a lot of rich chocolate, order that! We didn't have a reservation and it was a busy Saturday night, but they sat us within 10-15 mins which was great. It was worth the wait. I definitely suggest making a reservation ahead, even if just 2 ppl. If you're looking for a date night or a party, come here!

Very fast serving, great food (Ceasar Salad, Carbonara, Tomato Mozzarella) and very nice owner. We'll be back here.

Good and solute Italian Food in a nice and cozy atmosphere

The panda cotta is outstanding here.

Superb traditional Italian food. A hidden gem on the north shore! The owner and his staff provide excellent service.Remeber when people tell you about a dish they ate that just melted in thier mouths, well this was the place!

The food was fresh and excellently prepared. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly.
