I absolutely love this place and it’s pizza. It is now totally my favourite and I’ve found some great wood or brick oven pizza places. Every time I go back to LaCucina I’m hoping nothing changed and it’s gonna be as good as the last time. So far, so good. Whoever is responsible for the ingredients and the way you make your pizza, please don’t ever change a thing!! It’s nice to find a local spot that can be your favourite go-to spot when you wanna go out. LaCucina Pizzeria is now that place for me.

I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. We were hesitant to stray from the likes of Gusto and Bread Bar but visited here for the first time august 31. From the drinks to the dessert, everything was fantastic. We had two fantastic apps in meatballs and arancini and then pizza and pasta followed a must at any Italian restaurant - tiramisu. We weren’t looking for fine dining but we have fairly high standards - especially for Italian. Ambience (patio) was nice and service was great. Will absolutely be back.

Highly disappointed. The restaurant was so loud we couldn't hear each other speaking from across our table. One of our main dishes came out about 10 later than the other two main dishes, which meant that (since we waited to eat until everyone was served) our food was only lukewarm by the time that we ate. Felt a bit ignored by the servers.

I had a wonderful time at la cucina pizzeria in guelph last night. We originally sat on the patio although it started raining heavily and they were very swift and accommodating when we moved inside mid meal! The food was amazing and our server was super attentive.

Ambience and food were very good. Our service lacked in personality and attentiveness. The server did what was required and nothing more, i.e. asking if I wanted a refill on my wine, checking in to see if everything was fine once we received our order. I maintain that 50 % of dining out satisfaction is the service and sadly the service did not contribute to a favourable experience.

La Cucina is a more casual spin-off from a parent restaurant. The pasta is brilliant; you won't find better. The pizza are unique and very good. Their salads however are just average.

After being seated no one came to look after our table for 20 minutes and then after we asked. Food came cold and had to be returned to be reheated. Another 20 minute wait and had to ask again to cash out well after finishing . Terrible service although the actual food quality is good. Manager agreed and refunded food charge.

This dining experience was rather disappointing. Have been here numerous times and have ordered take out on occasion. Each previous time has always been very good. This time didn't live up to previous experiences. Main courses ordered were lasagna (very dry with little sauce). Seafood special was a lobster tail. Even though we expected tail to be small, the accompanying sides were underwhelming (2 brussel sprouts?). The Ossobuco was good. So only 1 out 3 mains were good. The tiramisu was excellent. Our server was not very attentive. Previous servers were much more attentive. Not sure I would spend the money to go back.

We tried the fish special and the seafood pasta which were both delicious. One in our party tried the steak which he would not order again. For apps we tried the calamari and the mozzarella. Both apps were delicious. We had a few cocktails. These were very good. You have to have their tiramisu!! So creamy and delicious. Our server was outstanding. We will definitely return.
