10/10Amazing service. Great wine recommendations. Starters and primi were 5 stars, mains (Seitan and Amberjack) were probably 4/5 but had a wonderful experience.

9.5/10Chef is the owner so food quality and presentation are excellent-the 5 course tasting menu was inspired and eclectic and completely different than the menu items

7/10No idea how this restaurant ended up on the Michelin guide. The food is below average, a bad attempt to be creative with completely non-fitting ingredients. The meat, the fish were just not tasty. Fish was plain awful, cold and rubbery, with disgusting sauce. Very nice interior and wonderful staff, but that couldn’t compensate the food.

10/10Lovely place! Service was slow..only because it was a Saturday night and my server was the only one who spoke English (and 3 other languages!)….go here! You won’t regret it!

10/10I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying the wine pairing menu twice in 2023. I highly recommend Cuculia to all who truly seek and enjoy an elevated culinary experience. Chef Oliver Betancourt exceeds ecxpectations. The menu each visit has been beyond extraordinary and the wine selections were perfect. Ms. Roberta Del Prete went above and beyond to make certain our needs were meet. Our last visit consisted of a party of 8. 6 of which were very tired and jet lagged people who could barely keep their eyes open. Yet they powered through their exhaustion to enjoy the menu. We were the “obnoxious Americans” that evening and I fully appreciate the staff and Chef Betancourt’s ability to navigate our requests. Every course was layered in complexity. Beautifully displayed plates with mind melding in flavors. Culinary art at its finest. I cannot speak highly enough about Cuculia and can only hope others will take the opportunity to share in the experience. I look forward to visiting again in May 2024.

10/10We had a very enjoyable experience at the restaurant. The service and atmosphere were excellent and the food - innovative and delicious dishes using traditional Tuscan ingredients - was sensational.

9/10Ordered the Chef's free hand, 6 courses with wine pairings. Service was a bit slow between courses but there seemed to be a rush about 1/2 hr after I was seated so understandable. The tongue with raspberry, cherry and almond sauces was incredible as was the fish course. Vernaccia di San Gigmignano's Vagnoni was my favorite and I'm a red wine drinker. Biggest complaint was where I was seated...directly inside the front door. I'd asked to be seated elsewhere but he indicated because I was only a party of one, there weren't any other options. Again, I understand the almighty dollar (or Euro, in this case), but shouldn't he have attempted to accommodate$1 Not all the tables were full when I left 2.5 hrs later. Over all, still a lovely experience that I won't forget soon.

10/10Fantastic meal - my wife and I opted for the tasting menu and wine pairing. The pairings were so unique and incredibly delicious. You can tell Chef is passionate and takes pride in his work - and it shows! 10 out of 10 - this is a hands down, don't miss out while in town kind of place...
