La Cucina - Somerville

The staff was amazing, they warned us when we got there that the food might be slow cause they were understaffed but that was no our experience. Our drinks and appetizers came out in a timely manner, and it was all delicious. We had a food allergy at our table and they made many accommodations, including just putting food that was cooked in the same fryer as shellfish on the other side of the table from the person with the allergy. William, our server was fantastic, he was practicing as a bartender and made all of our drinks extra special! I would definitely recommend and will be going back myself!

First timers there, no that great. Waitress left us midway for apps and never came back for our entree orders. Nobody seemed to know what they were doing. They never apologized. They kept sending us different servers over. Then our bill had added items we didn’t order. It just wasn’t all that pleasant.

Assembly Row continues to expand with great shops and restaurants, and La Cucina is one of them. Delicious food and large portions. Would recommend!

The place has a lot of potential but completely falls short on many fronts. MANY items on the menu were out of stock . Very few options if you are vegetarian and not much flexibility. The food itself tasted good so I give that to the chef. But.. first time I have been to an Italian restaurant where bread is not served at the table LOL. Ambience was nice except for the glaring fluorescent street light from outside on our table.

Excellent food and atmosphere! Will definitely go again.
