We were pleasantly surprised about how wonderful the food was here. We went on NYE and I had the halibut special. It was one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had. The margherita pizza, mussels and mushroom fettuccine were also a 10/10. Everything tasted homemade and fresh.

First time at La Cucina Ristorante. The food was amazing. Loved how they started our meal with fresh bread and olive oil. We had caesar salad, pizza and gnocchi. Our server was so friendly and kind. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Will be back again soon.

La Cucina is a gem in London, Ontario! The food is incredible – authentic Italian dishes and the wood oven pizza is perfection. The flavors are rich, and fresh. Pasta is fresh made as well! Our server (from Tuscany) was very attentive and provided exceptional service. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious pizza and pasta! Our server was great. He explained everything we didn't understand on the menu, and even gave out recommendations! I was so surprised to receive such a massive portion of gnocchi! Left so full and satisfied.

A Richmond Row Gem Worth Discovering I've walked past La Cucina on Richmond Row countless times, always meaning to try it. Last night, I finally did, and I'm so glad it happened! In a city saturated with Italian restaurants, La Cucina stands out. Their menu offered a delightful selection, and the dishes we tried were phenomenal. Our table ordered the Ravioli al Tartufo and the Vodka Penne, and both were exceptional. The sauces were creamy and perfectly balanced, but my Ravioli al Tartufo was the undisputed star of the night. The truffle filling was simply divine, and the creamy sauce complemented it beautifully. The pasta itself tasted incredibly fresh, adding to the overall experience. Beyond the food, our server was an absolute sweetheart. Their friendly and attentive service truly enhanced our dining experience, making sure we had a wonderful time. The ambiance at La Cucina is incredibly inviting, making it perfect for a special occasion. The restaurant is cleverly divided, with a more lively area at the front and more intimate spaces in the back, ideal for a romantic dinner or a quiet conversation. I'm thrilled to have finally experienced La Cucina and I'm already looking forward to returning and exploring the rest of their menu. Highly recommended!

Amazing Italian restaurant. Customer service is A and food is delicious. Great options to choose from and the must try wood oven pizzas. It’s really spacious inside and ambience is good. We ordered Bruschetta, tiger Shrimps, Margarita pizza, etc. The tiramisu cake was so light, creamy and fluffy just yummy!
