La Cucina Italiana - Raleigh

Stopped in here today for lunch with a couple of coworkers they have a really good menu reasonable prices and several lunch specials the food was made all fresh it was served quickly and the staffer very friendly and helpful the facilities are extremely clean and they had special touches on all the food that they delivered to the table you definitely want to give this one a try

This place is fantastic, we used to go to it when it was in Morrisville and so happy to have found it again in Raleigh. It's super clean, the staff is super friendly. You seat yourself when you walk in. You are supposed to order upfront but as soon as we sat down, Fatma, our hostess was quick to get us menus and take our orders after. The pizza place was delicious, very cheesy, flavorful . And the baked Ziti was just perfect

Found this place on a Google search. We are so glad we did!!! It looks like a hole in the wall, but it is definitely a gem!! Very open area, seat yourself place. Very clean. The menu is not extensive, but it's because they make everything fresh!! We were able to customize each of our dishes to our liking. We had their garlic knots (one order was 12 very good size knots) and cheese bread ( was like a cheese pizza w out the marinara) we ordered; Pesto chicken, chicken parm chicken Alfredo, Tortellini Alfredo ( one with shrimp and one with chicken) chicken Cacciatore and Cajun shrimp pasta. You could tell it was made fresh because each of the Alfredo dishes were a little different in flavor and consistency. The portions were perfect. I can't wait to go back!!! They deserve the chef's kiss

Nice little Italian place in retail center of Glenwood Avenue. First time, so I tried baked penne with meat sauce. It was delicious and so was the bread stick that accompanied it. Service was top notch and very customer focused. Next time I'll try their pizza which looked delicious. Enjoy!

Very friendly and really good Italian food! It's not over the top and easy for families. Just good cooking, pasta is done right. Penne ala vodka is awesome, perfect homemade sauce. Also had pizza which is also wonderful. Tried the gyro meat and it's the best I've found in Raleigh.

They make a good pizza at a competitive price and are very friendly. I've only ordered takeout, including pizza and a sizable and good Chicken Parmesan.

When you go to a pizza place you expect to be able to get slices, but when you are told, "No pizza" and they won't make any, then it's time to go elsewhere. I would never bother to return not knowing if I can get slices.

Very good pasta. They have the classic excellent tomato sauce that's the hallmark of a good Italian restaurant.

The garlic knots and penne Ala vodka were amazing! The wings were burnt a bit, though. Service was great, very kind server. Nice atmosphere, but wish there was some music playing. I recommend!

Review:This was my first visit to La Cuicina in Raleigh. The menu looked really good. I looked at the reviews and they were so many that were given high praise to this Italian restaurant. I was in the mood for a pizza with sausage and red onions. I have to admit, the pizza crust and red sauce were very good. Reminded me of a NYC type of pizza. But let's get down to the fact about a detail with one item, "sausage"When you think of sausage on pizza you think Italian sausage crumble or sliced. This was NOT that at all!This was non other than HOT DOG slices!I Googled if Hotdogs can be considered sausage, in fact yes it is a sausage. So when ordering "Sausage"here be aware that you are getting HOTDOGS not an Italian sausage. Granted it doesn't say Italian sausage, I guess I got what I ordered!
