La Cucina - Melbourne

Great menu offering a wide range of Italian cuisine. The pasta dishes we had were delicious and served hot. Service was reasonable fast and very friendly during a busy night.

First time to be here, really impressed with the quality of food, cocktails, desserts and the lovely staff. Keep it up guys, cheers all

Fantastic food, excellent staff, wonderful wine, superb coffee, amazing pizza, delicious steak, perfect risotto, and outstanding pasta. You get the idea—it's all great!

First time here, and sadly the last. Service was great, but kitchen needs to lift its game. Our table ordered; Minestrone soup that had NO tomatoes, was just about tasteless, we were told this is authentic Italian Minestrone a quick google search shows only 1 recipe without tomatoes. If customers tell you often, as we were told, you should listen. Gnoccchi Gorgonzola was over cooked and hardly any Gorgonzola flavour, very disappointing. Parmigiana was good. Ravioli was good.

I appreciate that cooking seafood in baking paper helps retain its juices and flavors, steaming it to perfection. However, the presentation left much to be desired—it felt more like dining at a fast food establishment than at a quality restaurant. In my opinion, there’s nothing particularly sophisticated or appealing about a dish wrapped in baking paper, and the overall presentation lacked a sense of class and elegance.
