Reviews for LA CUCINA Italian Kitchen in Mountain City, TN
You have to go to Italy for better. The homemade noodles melt in your mouth. The lasagna was the best I have had since Florence.... We discovered a true gem out in Johnson County. La Cucina, a Matteo family restaurant by reservation only. Authentic Italianfood made by hand. Home-made pasta, ciabatta, and desserts. Small, only 24 seats. Started with Caprese, Misto, then Lasagna andShrimp Puttanesca.. BYOW/$5 Cork. Nice desserts to end. Read more
Very small Italian restaurant with a nice menu selection. If you want wine or other such beverage it is BYOB with a charge for a... cup for your wine. Be sure to make reservations so you are sure to get a seat. They are open Thursday - Saturday 5 to 8 andSunday for Lunch meals. The service was good for our group of 6. No complaints about the meals. The restaurant is located about50 minutes from Boone NC and Johnson City TN where our groups came from. We plan to return in October when the leaves change asthe drive there should be colorful.

In rural Appalachia, this is easily the closest to authentic Italian cuisine one will find. The lasagna is a must-try menu item,... but just about every other dish is sure to leave one satisfied. You don't want to leave without trying at least one of theirdesserts as well. Read more

Finest gluten free dishes anywhere!! Our gluten free dishes tasted just as great as the regular dishes ordered. I was the... taster, not my wife. Chef said the pasta was brown rice flour imported from Tuscany. Wonderful atmosphere with a freshlyprepared meal from a Master Chef. Bravo!! Remember cash and reservations are necessary. Read more
The experience begins with homemade Ciabatta bread with EVOO, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. In fact, every authentic... Italian bite is made from scratch. Everything we ordered was exceptional! Read more
