Reviews for La Cucina Bistro & Wine Bar in Scottsdale, AZ

A cuter little neighborhood Italian bistro you won?t find. Fresh home-cooked Italian dishes and great service. The owners are... very inviting and lovely. But don?t blink or you?ll miss the strip mall local in the Safeway shopping center at Thompson Peak &FLW! Read more

Service and atmosphere were great. Food was very good until I got my entree (Chicken Marsala). Honestly, it was a bit dry and... missed the mark with me. Read more

Absolutely delicious food! I could just make a meal of their bread and olive oil. But my husband had seen their soft shell crab... placard and it was a must go for him. He was not disappointed, nor was I when he shared one with me because I've never had one.I had a caprese salad with added roasted shrimp. Also very very good. There's a surprisingly nice atmosphere sitting outsideeven though it sits next to a busy parking lot. You don't notice it. It was cozy and romantic and wonderful. Read more

The food was amazing!! They allowed us to sit and visit without a rush! They did not make our ravioli until we were totally done... with our appetizer. When picking an entree the server (the owner I think) was helpful and funny and took away my menu when Isecond guessed. It was clearly a locals place and he knew the regulars that came in. It was a lovely dining experience. Read more

Just stumbled upon this place by accident. Not many people in there so we weren't sure what to expect but the food and service... was phenomenal! I haven't had veal parmesan in years and it was the best! I would highly recommend! Read more

We tried this place while in the area looking for a small family run restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. Our... server got our drink order very quickly. We order the Fried Calamari which was cooked to perfection, melted in your mouth. Forour main meal I ordered the Special Burgundy Beef and my partner ordered the Lamb Chops. The Burgundy Beef was so delicious andcooked to perfection. The Lamb Chops were cooked perfect and tasted delicious. For dessert we tried the Cannoli were fantastic.We met the owner George who was very nice and fun to talk with. This will be a new favorite spot for us. Cannot wait to return. Read more

OMG, the Frutti de Mare was the best I have ever had. The waiter commented that it was the best thing on the menu and I agree.... All the seafood was very high quality and cooked to perfection and quite tender. Everything about it was perfect. The waitermentioned that it a little spicy, but I didn't notice any heat. This is a must try hidden gem that you wouldn't expect to findin a Safeway strip mall. Highly recommend it! Read more

The owner George greeted and welcomed us warmly as we opened the restaurant door. He treated us like VIP, even though we were... complete strangers dining here for the first time. Our gracious server, Anna Marie, started us with raw oysters and calamari. Both were impeccable! I had the most deliciously rich tasting lobster ravioli for the main dish. I was really impressed withthe hospitality and the food! Read more
