La Cucina - Denville

It's always a pleasure to return home and visit my favorite restaurant. The owners and staff are extremely friendly, and the food is outstanding—you really can't go wrong. I encourage you to give it a try and see for yourself!

The bruschetta is generous and incredibly flavorful, featuring four large pieces on fresh bread. The fried calamari, cut into big pieces and without tentacles, is accompanied by two tasty sauces—a sweet and a zesty one—that add a nice touch. The chicken parmigiana and eggplant rollatini are served in hefty portions, both loaded with cheese, so be prepared for some leftovers. The mussels linguine comes with 20 baby clams and boasts fantastic flavor; just be cautious, as the sauce can splash if you're not careful. The surprise standout dish was the Rigatoni Christina, where I swapped rigatoni for capellini, which absorbs the sauce beautifully—*chef's kiss*. The mushrooms provide a delightful umami richness, complemented by prosciutto and plum sauce, along with a hint of peas. I can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely date night featuring the shellfish fra diavolo, the burrata mango salad, chicken marsala with potatoes, and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. The atmosphere was intimate, and the staff was very attentive.

His is a special of place. A fantastic restaurant with an exceptional menu and food. The staff are wonderful. If you're looking for a wonderful meal in a fantastic setting ,this is your best bet. Love the atmosphere. Exceptional chef. Definitely give it a try.

This place has never disappointed me. Especially all through the pandemic, Franco and his crew remained consistent with their quality and service. Go to items for us are the Sausage Giambotto. Sausage and pepper in all its glory with wonderful twisted potatoes. The Margherita pizza is crisp and fresh tasting. Shrimp fra diavlo is hot and beautiful. Great ambiance in the restaurant
