A visit to Cucina Mia is like stepping into an Italian piazza, from the quaint décor, to the wood fired pizza oven and the delicious Italian imported ingredients. Indulge in authentic handmade pasta, pizza by the meter and homemade desserts.
What we ate
We started with the Bruschetta al Pomodoro, the Caprese di Bufala and the delicious homemade focaccia bread. For mains, we enjoyed the Pappardelle al Funghi Porcini and the Bresaola Rucola e Granad pizza. Then there was just enough room to share the homemade strawberry and lemon sorbets!
Verdict
No doubt helped by the fact that the owner is Italian with restaurants in Naples, the food here is truly authentic. Simple and delicious, the freshness and quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. Buon appetito!
