La Cucina Family - Northumberland

My partner and I dined at La Cucina and were blown away by the amazing food and high standards. The staff were lovely and down to earth. The only issue we had was that we couldn't enjoy our meal in peace because the pub next door had their music playing so loudly that the floor was vibrating. This was not the restaurant's fault at all. Despite this, I would still visit again.

After reading some great reviews, we decided to visit this restaurant for dinner tonight during our 4-day stay in Ashington. I was a bit hesitant at first due to the surroundings and decor, but the food turned out to be fantastic! My husband and I both had 3 courses and all of them were delicious. I had the best pizza I've had in a long time and my husband's steak was cooked perfectly. The service was top-notch and the prices were very reasonable. We still have 2 more nights in Ashington and we have already decided to go back before we leave.

We eat here regularly because it's affordable and the service is great. The staff, especially the owners, are very friendly and attentive. The chef always comes out to chat with us and takes pride in the freshly made, delicious food. We typically go for Sunday dinner and always enjoy the chicken or lamb dishes, which are cooked perfectly with tasty vegetables on the side. My partner loves the roast pork, which has a crispy top and is cooked perfectly. Recently, they tried a bread and butter pudding with Turkish delight and said it was amazing. We highly recommend this restaurant!

We visited this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday night after it changed ownership. The dining experience was fantastic. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable as they prepared our food. The wine selection was excellent and the chef even came to our table to discuss how we wanted our food cooked. He later returned to ensure that we were satisfied with our meal. We give five stars in every aspect.

We had dinner at this restaurant on our last night of vacation at a caravan park nearby. The food was very good and the service was friendly. The prices were very reasonable. As others have mentioned, the outside area is a bit uninviting and the music from the bar next door was loud, but once inside the restaurant it was muffled. Despite these minor drawbacks, it is truly a hidden gem of a restaurant and very welcoming to families.
