La Cucina - Saskatoon

Jeremy was a fantastic server, quick with our drinks and food. He created a fun and welcoming experience, we cannot wait to return. Food and drinks are 10/10. Service is great.

Well executed dishes: beef carpaccio, artichoke/pecorino/prosciutto puff pastry, penne alla Cucina. These dishes were all perfectly seasoned, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. Pretty good: Osso bucco. Everything was perfectly cooked but the risotto came off as bland. Is stated in the menu as being a Parmesan risotto but neither my wife or I could get any Parmesan flavor from tasting it. Missed the mark: roasted butternut squash tagliatelle. This was a very bland dish and definitely not worth $34. Lacked any real flavor, the butternut squash seemed like it was not seasoned and probably just boiled/steamed (could have added a great extra flavor to the butternut squash if it had been pan fried and got a little caramelization or slight char on it). No sage flavor as advertised in the menu. For half the price you could get a better pasta at Chianti's. The penne alla Cucina was very good so it was odd that one pasta was very good/well seasoned and flavorful but that this one was so so bland and totally not worth the price.

My favourite restaurant in Saskatoon. We try to go at least twice a year and always thoroughly enjoy from our experience. Hope to be back soon.

The service is what puts the experience over the top. Food is a little more expensive, bit its obvious great care is taken to prepare ot, and you get what you pay for. My go to for special occassions.

This was our second visit to La Cucina to celebrate our anniversary. Excellent food and service. We will definitely return.
