" I hosted a small gathering at La Cucina Nouveau for my sister's birthday recently, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! The owner worked with us to create a personalized menu that impressed all our guests. The food was exquisite — the octopus appetizer was a standout. Everyone raved about the homemade pasta and the tenderness of their meats. The venue itself is very charming, easily accommodating our group without feeling cramped. I must say, the affogato we had for dessert was simply the best I've ever tasted; it felt very authentic. I've already planned our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited this long to try La Cucina Nouveau! It lived up to every expectation. I dined with a group, and we ordered a little bit of everything to share. The octopus was easily the best I’ve had outside of Italy, and the pasta was fresh and fabulously executed. The ambiance is lovely, yet easy-going — truly perfect for a casual evening. I think I have finally found my favorite Italian restaurant! Can’t wait to go back and try their gelato. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Cucina Nouveau with friends last weekend, and it was an overall pleasant experience. The atmosphere is cozy, and the decor adds a nice touch. We enjoyed the seafood specials, which were flavorful and fresh. However, I found the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected for the price. While I loved what I ordered, it would have been nice to leave feeling more satisfied. Service was friendly, but it took a while for our food to arrive despite the restaurant not being too busy. I would still come back again for the pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cucina Nouveau is a delightful place to grab a bite! The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is always gracious. I ordered the chicken piccata, which was very flavorful, accompanied by perfectly cooked vegetables. The portion was decent for the price. Although I enjoyed the meal, I’ve had richer flavors elsewhere. Overall, it’s a lovely restaurant for a casual dinner out and I’ll likely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best meals I've had in years! La Cucina Nouveau blew me away with its authenticity and flavor. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the appetizers to the main courses. We started with the arancini and fritto misto, followed by homemade tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce. Each bite was a comfort to my taste buds. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I can’t recommend this place enough; it’s the real deal when it comes to Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted a family gathering at La Cucina Nouveau recently, and the experience was exceptional. The restaurant was able to accommodate our large group comfortably. The owner was very helpful in planning our menu. Each dish arrived hot and perfectly seasoned. The highlight was definitely the dessert — a fresh torte that everyone raved about. The staff was attentive but not intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our time together. It was a memorable evening, and I'll recommend this lovely spot for events in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to La Cucina Nouveau, I leave feeling like a cherished guest. Whether it's the fresh burrata appetizer or the flavorful seafood pasta, every dish is crafted with care. The owner, Salvina, is always on hand to ensure everything is perfect, and she brings a personal touch that makes dining here feel special. Plus, being a BYOB restaurant makes it even more enjoyable as we can bring our favorite wines to pair with the meal. The desserts are a must-try — their gelato is out of this world!
