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.

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.

Been many times and always excellent service and food
Nicholas Ingle
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.

Antoine Becaglia
Very nice restaurant with a great service. Children portions available. Pizza are on the larger side🍕. Beef carpaccio was ok. Strozzapreti all grancio highly recommended. Plenty of fish options on the menu for pescatarians.
Kristina Tubby
Good food and reasonably priced. Would come again and would recommend to a friend.
Barbara Stevens
Amazing food and amazing service
Lewis Miller
Amazing food and the staff were absolutely brilliant. So attentive and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Only criticism is that tips could not be paid on card - seems silly in this day and age where the vast majority of people pay by card. A real shame but hopefully the owners take note and fix it asap.
David Woolford
Well cooked and presented dishes, excellent service. Best Italian restaurant in Leigh by a long shot. I recommend the superb Vitello Milanese followed by a Cannoli Siciliani for pudding. Grazie Mille!
Alex Scott
Booked this restaurant initially by mistake for my birthday lunch with a friend.
I am so glad I did what a lovely restaurant, the food is excellent the restaurant has a great vibe and the staff are fantastic.
Went again tonight with friends and had a great evening.
Booked again to take auntie before Christmas. One of the nicest restaurants I've eaten in for a long time.
Nick Mackie
Really nice place for a meal. Very good service. Very attentive staff and they don't rush you out the door or bring the main straight after the starter.
Can highly recommend the Carbonara. Very tasty.
The meal was really well priced including drinks. All in All a lovely restaurant with everything you would want.

First visit here last night with my husband. We had a Bread and Olive plate between us which was delicious, and I had a Steak which was beautiful and the Profiteroles which were fabulous! Husband had the seafood Tagliatelle which he said was nice but the sauce was a little bit bland. Just one little niggle was when it came to paying the bill the waiter who took our payment (who we hadn't seen all night) made a point of pointing out the note at the bottom of the bill stating that service wasn't included....i found this rather rude. The fact it's written on the bill is enough, and a tip is discretionary. No big deal but felt it was worth a mention.
Otherwise a very enjoyable experience.

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

One of the floor staff thinks hes funny to be dishonest about the size of the dish. Asked for the biggest pasta dish told him don't mind paying for the extra however ended up having the smallest dish within everyone. Dish itself was nice.
Laura Galgey
We took our friends to Cucina for their 1st visit on Saturday night and it did not disappoint! The food was presented beautifully and tasted gorgeous. I enjoyed a cocktail from the specials menu which hit the spot. The atmosphere was busy but not overwhelmingly noisy. We were not rushed throughout the meal and could take our time between courses. Fabulous as always and can't wait to go back
Michael Hickling
Had a nice evening and staff very attentive but was a little disappointed with the food...2 of us
had Pollo Milanaise with Spaghetti and was very dry and over cooked.
For me it’s back to Piccolo’s...

Favourite restaurant in Leigh witth excellent staff just got better after the complete refurbishment. Just a finishing touch to ask is to put a baby change table into one of the brand new toilets, and then can easily get 10 stars. Grazie mille!!!
Abbie Hipgrave

Paul Farrell
My wife took me for lunch today for my birthday in this wonderful little restaurant. The food was incredible, the lobster ravioli I had was outstanding, and the people who served us are a credit to the restaurant. I very highly recommend Cucina. We are moving to the area soon and will definitely be back. Thank you.
Tabitha Roberts
We have been here a lot. But went here Saturday with a large group of people everyone loved the food and said how reasonable it was. The staff are great and can't do enough for you. Can't wait to go back �
Glyn Falkingham
A warm welcome, offering to take our coats before we sat down. The food was first class offering generous servings also served by polite and courteous staff.
Anna Soward
Didn’t make it Barcelona due to the snow so to make up for it booked a table at our favourite place. Cucina’s is outstanding & never disappoints! Food, wine and most of all the amazing people that work there made our night special as always! Consistently fabulous and delicious! Thank you Alex, Giseuppe (Pepe) and everyone else at the restaurant for a lovely evening! Anna & Calum xxx
