With gluten-free options, we have happy hour menu Monday - Friday.

    Service was kind and quick, and every dish and wine our party got was delicious. Such a gem of a place. Everyone we interacted with was lovely and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.

    The food is four stars! Their menu is amazing. Always improving on it, adding dishes. Any dish you order you will be satisfied! Their desserts are excellent! Traditional, fresh, different for the Season! These guys should be downtown! They know wines extremely well! Ask for a wine paring, Chianti region of Northern Italy, Travis knows all about it. They have outdoor dining which is fantastic with heaters when the evenings are chilly. They take care of us like royalty when we come in. I can't say enough about them. They all take care of you, check on you and get to know you. Tanay Warerkar, content mgr at OpenTable needs to get these guys on the James Beard list! Ask for Travis when you call!

    The food was somewhat disappointing for the price. The eggplant dish would have been better with more eggplant and less spaghetti. The Caesar salad had a surcharge for anchovies which for the price seemed excessive. The wine was good and the pour generous.

    What a wonderful restaurant! This was our first visit and it won't be our last. The drinks, food and service were all terrific. The calamari and carpaccio were beautifully prepared, presented and delicious. Our dinners were equally as delicious! The service was also excellent. We were greeted warmly by Lulu and she cared for us throughout with grace and professionalism. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We will return for sure!

    I have been to Cucina Bella twice in the last month! Both times we have had outstanding food and terrific service. I will definitely go back and would highly recommend it! The beet salad is amazing! Last time I had a salmon pesto pasta that was out of this world!

    Great food, great service by Travis, and the ambiance is much warmer and cozier than the photo we saw online. Would love to go back!

    Great food. I had the chicken parmesan, caprese salad and the peach bread pudding. All of them were excellent. The peach bread pudding is the absolute best dessert they have! The caprese salad was one of the best I have had. The service was very good as well. I will be back.
