Cucina on College?

[childofthestorm]

Anyone been there yet? Old Bruyea Bros. space?

I read a hit-and-miss review in the Star, I think, but we're heading there tonight and I'm hoping for some advice...what to order, steer clear from, etc.

I'd have to say Cucina is one of the worst places I've been to. Service is very poor (snobbish, comatose servers) and there's nothing outstanding about the food. Terroni is way better!!!!

i stopped in sometime when it first opened to catch a little world cup and only had the mare dish which i was rather happy with although it was a touch pricey to me as a two person dish for $15.

however it was pretty good all around, soft tender grilled calamari stuffed with an herbed lamb mixture, fresh shrimp, basic cured salmon and a fantastic piece of octopus. based on that, i'd order anything with seafood there.
