this is more of a restaurant rather than a cafe. I had the best spaghettipasta gamberi ever. 5 good sized prawns in pesto, roasted cherry tomatoes and chorizo slices the width of most cabana. Tasty is an understatement. Group of 5 of paid $200.50 in total for 5 mains, 3 moscato, 2 soft drinks, 3 desserts and 3 coffee/tea. instead of sugar with the tea, a small sealed tube of honey came with it. The Gelato was excellent quality and comes with 3 small biscuits. very well presented all round

Approximate cost: $27.00

My husband and I recently headed to this wonderful establishment for dinner on a Thursday evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, we both went home very satisfied. I had the spaghetti marinara, which was one of the best I have ever had. My husband ordered the ribs, which he said were cooked to perfection. We had a wonderful evening out and would definitely go there again.

Cucina was chosen as our "night out for dinner" with a group of fellow Pharmacy students. This place looks beautiful, well kept and the waiters/waitresses are very attentive and kind. The food is value for money and not at all pricey as their crisp white table cloths would lead you to think. Such a gorgeous set up!

The night went well and we all had a great time, until.... Once we had finished our meals it was time to pay. We all know that nowadays most people carry card rather than cash and as there were 8 of us, we all wanted to pay individually. Well.....what a mistake that was! Two of us girls had to plead with the owner's wife to pay it separately as no one on their own could pay the $300+ bill. She was feral, very rude and ended up chucking the bill at us and telling us to work it out amongst ourselves. So we had to all take our seats at a new table (as ours was already being cleared) right in front of the cashier to work out everyone's individual total. This was very embarrassing as they were still patrons dining there. Once we had totalled everyone's amount we stood to pay. She was RUDE, p**sed off and did not want to even make eye contact with us. Just snatched our cards from our hands, processed our payments and handed them back with no thankyou or acknowledgment.

This was an awful experience and I will never go back here ever again. I don't know her name, all I know is that she is the Owner's wife. I also understand that companies get charged for patrons using cards, but we were more than happy to each pay the small fee to avoid being humiliated.

We all called it a night after that. Left feeling extremely guilty and sad. She is a NASTY WOMAN! Our age group was 22 to 55. Very disappointing.

Approximate cost: $25.00

What a horrible experience. This certainly is a restaurant that I will be avoiding. Thanks for reviewing.

I think it is quite common these days for businesses to not allow you to split bills.
Most often they even have it written on their menu or invoices!
To avoid situations like this, my friends and I always make sure we have cash when ever we go out for a big group dinner. Saves any hassle or any embarrassment.

Great Italian restaurant which is not too pricey, about $22 per main course, the servings are quite large and you won't go hungry, I ordered the seafood pizza and my wife ordered a pasta with creamy white sauce, the service was great and the waiter was very quick and efficient, we didn't have to wait to long for our food and my pizza had lots of topping on it. The restaurant is very spacious and I will be back

This cafe has taken over from Najjars. Nice atmosphere with weekend dining very popular. Breakfast until 3pm on weekends and a very good breakfast it is too. Very clean and inviting with real effort made on presentation. Food is good with Italian specialties. A very relaxing experience with quality food and presentation. Well worth return visits.
