La Cucina - GYMEA

We celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday with her family at this restaurant last September on a Thursday night with a party of 8. I am quite surprised by the negative reviews because I thought the food was excellent, the service was attentive, and we all had a really enjoyable evening. The salt and pepper squid was especially memorable, as it was the most tender I have ever had. Everyone at the table ordered different dishes and all were enjoyable. Even though I am not a coffee aficionado, I can say that the coffee was also quite good as I would have remembered if it were bad.

I have been a loyal customer for more than 4 years. This restaurant's success is built on consistently delicious food. It is always busy and can be hard to get a reservation. My favorite dish is the steak. It may be a bit predictable, but it is always cooked perfectly to my liking (medium rare). The service is quick, especially when we go early, although I have heard it can be slow during peak hours. The restaurant can be noisy and could benefit from some acoustic treatment.

This small restaurant is definitely one of my favorites. The food is absolutely delicious. I have a few go-to dishes on the regular menu, but I always look forward to the new and exciting options on the specials board. The service is always friendly, even though the restaurant is always bustling. Be sure to make a reservation or you might not get a table! The restaurant is spacious and open, and while it can get a bit noisy, it only adds to the authentic Italian atmosphere.

My wife and I have dinner at this restaurant about once or twice a month, usually on a Thursday or a Friday. I have nothing but positives to say about the food, the service, the staff and the owners. It is the most consistent restaurant I 've been to, and if it wasn 't so hard to find a baby sitter we would be there every weekend. I was actually sitting near the 'gentlemen ' who wrote the two previous reviews onFriday night, and I am disgusted that you are able to sprout such lies about a small business. We had to ask to be moved as my wife and I could not stand the conversation from these two men, and happened to be sitting right near the bar when they so 'politely ' declined to pay their bill. The scene they caused, and the language they used was disgusting. They even said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, they just wanted a discount. I would encourage people to try this restaurant, despite what the negative Nancy 's might say, it 's a great one!

Every time I come to this restaurant it feels like eating at a friends house. Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious and well priced food, a warm and inviting decor. I've never found the food to be served slowly, as in some other reviews, but then again if I wanted my food reheated in a microwave and served in 5 minutes I would go to McDonalds. Always a popular restaurant and rightly so, my family and friends will continue to meet at La Cucina Gymea. Great coffee too!
