Cucina Paradiso - Oak Park

This place here is an Italian restaurant must try... Parking: Free after 8pm

I was super impressed with how on top of service Cucina’s is. They had a great server named Jose. He was awesome! He definitely was very patient and helped me understand the culture of such a great establishment.

Such a great experience! I appreciate Jose Chavez going out of his way to make sure we were satisfied ?

JOSE was our Waiter last night his service was impeccable! Smiles, jokes, makes you laugh, he waited on our party of 8 for 2 Birthdays, my Son and Mom, our party had various meals and everyone enjoyed! Jose always came back asking if we needed anything else, always made sure we had enough refills on drinks and making sure food was great. The restaurant is beautiful. Jose mentioned a dessert that crossed my curiosity. It was a Basil Blueberry Cheesecake. Now you would think spicy, not at all, it was delicious when you incorporate that savory and sweet flavors it was truly amazing! When I forgot the cakes, Jose had a plan B and made the Birthdays just as special. Thank you for making our 1st a Great Time! Will Definitely be coming back!The only thing that was a little difficult was finding a place to park, but other than that we asked after getting in and they do have a garage you can get your ticket stamped. Call ahead for parking.Hoping in the future that your restaurant might consider Valet Parking.

This was a great little find!. I didn't give it 5 stars because my martini glass had dried sugar on the stem, which made my finger stick to it. This made the glass tip, and most of the martini spilled. I was expecting the waiter to offer me a new drink. I wasn't. What a shame. If something is wrong, and it's not my doing, make it better! That's great customer service.
