La Cucina

We have been going to this restaurant for a long long time! La Cucina has a wonderful menu. And they always accommodate our food allergies. Of particular note is their lamb ragu!! For those of us who are lactose intolerant, many chefs put cream in their Ragu. Not La Cucina! It was absolutely wonderful, no milk needed! What I wish is that all restaurants would start doing dairy free dishes purposefully, that would be wonderful. Great place!

We were welcomed and seated by a friendly gentlemen. Our waiter and other waitstaff did a good job. My salad and entree were delicious.
Overall a great meal thanks to La Cucina.

“This is probably the best Italian restaurant in Denville. The food is really good! The service is impeccable”

This place is such an amazing experience all around! We were immediately greeted with the friendliest smile and the staff is so welcoming and genuine. Also some of the most authentic and delicious Italian food I’ve honestly ever had! 10/10 and highly recommend!!! Will be back for sure!

True New Jersey (authentic) Italian BYOB. COVID thankfully hasn’t taken a hit on the quality of the food here, like many restaurants.

Come ready and come hungry. This isn’t fancy Italian, but the best kind isn’t. Like your Italian grandmother, she’s going to stuff you with amazing food, and then still refill your plate…again and again. But it’s worth every bite.
The bruschetta is large and fantastically flavorful (four large pieces on fresh bread).
The fried calamari is with big “O”s and without tentacles; the two sauces - sweet snd spicy - are a nice touch.
The chicken parmigiana and eggplant rollatini come essentially in the same format - massive and with a LOT of cheese (expect leftovers).
The clams linguine is accompanied with 20+ baby clams and great flavor; just be careful, the sauce will splatter if you’re not careful.
The unexpected winner was the rigatoni Christina (swapped out the rigatoni for capellini which soaked the sauce right up *chefs kiss*) - the mushrooms add an umami complexity to the prosciutto and plum sauce with an added touch of peas.
Can’t wait to come back!
