Our first visit to La Cucina, a warm welcome from the owner. Seems like a well established restaurant. Good choice of starters, fish, meat, pasta, pizza. I had Bream and my wife had a pasta, both very nice. Tiramisu was excellent. 2/3 full at 8pm.

Last night my wife and I went to La Cucina as it was her birthday. We have been there before and have had good service and food. We were greeted by a young waiter who was polite and showed us to our seat and brought...a menu. Shortly afterwards, an Italian waiter / owner (?) came and very briskly asked us what we wanted to drink. My wife queried something on the menu which he replied to very abruptly and we then ordered two large (250ml) glasses of red wine and two pizzas. These were brought – one had more wine in than the other and neither looked to be 250ml. Still, we let that pass. The pizzas arrived and we found the cheese to be really quite greasy and the olives did not have any taste. I ate most of mine (I was hungry) but my wife left half of hers as they were not very nice at all. No-one came during our meal to ask if everything was OK with the meal. When the Italian waiter arrived to take out plates away, my wife commented that the pizza was not very nice and, unusually, had no tomato on the base. He became quite agitated and pointed out that the menu did not say it had a tomato base. She commented on the cheese and his response was “if you don’t like my pizzas you should go somewhere else next time”. He then stormed off. My wife went to the counter and told him he was being extremely rude to which he replied “I don’t want your money you can go” and waved his arms around. We therefore left without paying. We will not be returning and it is highly likely that friends of ours who have been there before may decide to give it a miss after hearing of our experience.More
Great service, friendly staff and the food was excellent. Food came out on time but didn’t feel rushed. All seven of us went home full and satisfied
I took a friend to La Cucina, in Rustington. The food was excellent, so tasty and delicious. The deserts were exceptional and even the coffee was good, despite being decaffeinated. The staff were very attentive, very helpful and friendly. We can thoroughly recommend them for...a delicious meal and great service. Well done all.More
We had never been to eat here, which is poor on our part. After experiencing the tasty mains, we will be returning…. My granddaughter asked for spaghetti carbonara which was not on the menu. The waitress said this was of course acceptable. My husband had...one of the specials and I had risotto. Beautifully presented, piping hot and good portions. The staff were friendly and attentive and the place was busy for midweek. Always a good sign of a popular place. Thank you, we had a lovely visit.More
We dropped by on the off chance of being able to get a table for four. The Manager (possibly owner), was extremely accommodating and worked a table for for us if we could be in and out in 90 minutes. That was fine with us...as two of us had to drive home 2/3 hours that evening. The service was excellent, faultless to be fair. The food arrived fresh and perfectly cooked. If you are in the area Worthing, Arundel or nearby visit this restaurant you will not be disappointed. My only regret is the family haven’t got a restaurant in Towcester NorthantsMore
We have just spent a lovely couple of hours at this restaurant, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive, we will definitely return when we are back in this area
Just popped in for lunch. Rainy windy horrible day. Lovely smell as you enter making you feel hungry. Staff were so friendly and the food amazing. Almost full restaurant on such a horrible day must be the sign of a good one. I had four...cheese pizza which was lovely and husband had lasagne and we shared a lovely dressed salad. Perfect. Will definitely visit again. Thanks to all,More
Although not a real authentic Italian restaurant with the food to match, it was a nice enough experience. The owner and staff were pleasant enough and the bill reflected the current economic state. I suggest eating in Italy first then comparing. You’d then understand what...I mean. By the way, my late father in law was a superb Sicilian chef so I was spoiled for so many years.More
Wonderful food. Excellent service!! Went with a child and they provided her food without problems (plain pasta). Lovely wine too and a nice selection of cocktails. Beautiful layout in restaurant too
Such an amazing restaurant, staff are so welcoming and can’t do enough for you. Food was exceptional! The scallops I had were the best ever and the fillet steak for my main course was incredible and full of flavour. Cannot wait for my next visit!
Came here with friends the other evening. The food was amazing, couldn’t really fault a thing. Staff excellent and there was a good atmosphere in the place. We finished with a coffee and it was great! There were 8 of us in total and we...were all very very pleased. Would return 100%!!More
This is the first time that I have eaten here and I wasn’t impressed at all. The menu was limited and I think lacked imagination. 2 of us ordered the Bruschetta, mine came out black and burnt, no basil, way too much garlic and was...awful. They were too busy to catch to ask for another. When they took my barely touched plate didnt even ask if was ok. The pizza I ordered was charred in places, but that answered the question as to why I got a steak knife to eat it with! 6 of us ordered Tiramisu, 4 were full servings and the last 2 looked like they should be on the kid’s menu. Even the coffee let them down. There were 8 of us, 92% of us being Italian for an 80th birthday, the bill well over £300, I will not be returningMore
One of the tastiest meals we have ever had. Paccheri beef was so fu of flavour - spoon is essential to get all the gravy finished.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Have been going since it opened 10 years ago. Many amazing and memorable moments to remember. Well worth a visit, if you like great food.
