Cucina - Oamaru

This is truly the best dining spot in Oamaru, and the excitement surrounding this restaurant is entirely justified! Owned by a beloved couple in the area, they have undeniably made their mark as the premier dining destination in Oamaru. The food is exceptional—delicious without being overly fancy. The flavors blend together beautifully. For me, a great restaurant isn't just about amazing food; it's about the complete experience, and this place delivers that 100%! The front-of-house staff provide excellent service and are incredibly friendly, which is essential, and they have an extensive knowledge of the menu and wine selection. Top marks to Cucina! Well done, Pablo and Yanina!

Wow!!!! This restaurant is beautifully designed, and the waitstaff are incredibly fast. Now, let's talk about the food... It's absolutely mouthwatering, with flavors that are perfectly combined. Plus, I'm one of those difficult customers who never orders from the menu and has a lot of restrictions. They were quick to accommodate my needs and created a divine meal just for me. You’ll be grateful that you chose to dine here—trust me, I certainly am! I'll definitely go out of my way to return.

We are regular patrons of this beautiful restaurant and even celebrated our wedding there. This place truly is the best! The staff, especially Harry and the others, are fantastic; the atmosphere is wonderful, and the food is simply superb. We both agree that our wedding day was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Pablo and Yanina, for making it all happen. We are big fans of Cucina!

We absolutely LOVE Cucina! Some of the most amazing food I have ever eaten. Obsessed with their smoked chicken ravioli.

We couldn't fault our meal and service at Cucina on Friday night 23/6/2017. The Smoked Chicken Ravioli was divine along with the Pumpkin and Feta Salad. Hubby really enjoyed his Pork Belly. We hoped to fit in a dessert but alas we were too full. We will definitely be going back. Great Wine list.
