Booked a table for four yesterday lunchtime for us and our neighbours. Initial impression was very good, as the place has a great ambience. We were quickly shown to our table and were handed our menus. We chose the £12.95 two course lunch. Both ladies had whitebait which was, apparently delicious. Both men had prawns in a sauce which we enjoyed. Both ladies had the chicken with added veg. Paul had Sea bass, he reckoned it was the best he ever had. I had Penne Arabiatta with a green salad . Again one of the best I've had. We had 6 drinks between us and the bill was £89. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and will take our Canadian friends there when they stay.
First time last night to this beautiful restuarant ! Ambience was amazing ! But as we all know it's all about the service and the food ! Well what can I say ! The staff firstly are so attentive ! For a massively busy restuarant it was without a doubt the highest level of service that I have experienced! Then comes the food , normally I have to say , Italian food is normally hugely expensive for very bland simple food , but cucina make there own twist on there traditional dishes and wow what a twist, loved every mouthful of tasty mouthwatering explosion , that I didn't want it too finish, and pistachio ice cream filled profiteroles are too die for ! We can't wait to come back to experience the rest of the menu ! Thank you all for helping us to have an amazing evening
This was my first visit to "Cucina," and the Italian restaurant had a very relaxed atmosphere.
I chose the red mullet from the lunch menu, and for dessert, I had Tiramisa, which was delicious. The service was excellent, and they were very welcoming.
It was difficult to park the car, but there was a car park about a 15-minute walk to the restaurant.
My second time eating at Cucina and I just love it!
The hr drive we do to eat here is so worth it. The atmosphere is nice and calm...I don't feel rushed to eat and leave...the staff is polite....BUT THE FOOD 100%👌🏾🤌🏾
Our 1st visit which won't be our last. We had the halibut and skate wing, both were delicious and perfectly cooked. (The skate was huge!) Very friendly and efficient service and buzzy atmosphere. We would definitely recommend it.
I had a meal there on Saturday night... the service was brilliant, the steak was cooked to perfection and the lighting was perfect... I would thoroughly recommend.
Great food lovely staff....very noisy but would definitely recommend.
Delicious food and great service. Staff are very nice and helpful! A nice and friendly place overall.
From the moment we sat down, we knew this place was good. Great service and ambience but most importantly the food was outstanding. My fiance and I shared a couple delicious starters but the pasta was better than what I had in Rome. The crab and crayfish linguine was out of this world and the truffled mushroom pasta was delicious. Service was fast and alert never waiting or wanting for anything could not recommend this place more.
My only disappointment was they don't allow you to tip via card, you have to do it by cash, which is not is problem apart from the fact I had no cash which I felt bad about (that goes for most of Leigh-on-Sea). Either way they completely understood and had no issue.
We will be back!
Wonderful reception. Remembered after eating here a year ago. Fantastic fish specials. Patiently listened to my bad Italian. Meal ended with perfect dippio espresso and Strega.
Very nice place to eat
Been many times and always excellent service and food
A nice experience, service nicely paced and not overbearing. Food well presented and menu had a good range along with the specials so plenty to choose from.
