La Cucina in Oxford

Haven't ever been here before so had no expectations, but I was really impressed. The pizza was huge and oh so good, so no complaints there.The restaurant itself is pleasant enough, and anyone dealing with us there were nice and helpful.I don't live in the area otherwise I would have no hesitation about going back again. Highly recommended.

The staff is super kind! Drinks are ok, vines and beers, huge selection of them. We just were a little disappointed about the pizza, we are Italians and we chose this restaurant for the name and we checked the menu and the pictures before booking a table, everything looked amazing by the pictures. Unfortunately we didn't like the dough, too thin, not the famous 24 dough proofing process we are used to. Pizza was too thin and we spot out some other things that we don't usually do when we bake a pizza. Anyway I think pasta(huge selection), vines and beers are fine!

We like italian food, but the food in this restaurant was okay. We had deep fried calamari with lemon and chive mayo and pizza frita. Both of them were very salty. It was too much salt. And for main dish we had spaghetti alla carbonara and pappardelle con l’anatra. Bacon in the carbonara was more like boiled meat so it was not really tasty. Customers service was great. Prices are not too high, only we noticed the prices are higher on the bottles of wine.

Best pizza outside of Italy. Legit Italian, wish it was my local restaurant I'd be in every night.

Excellent place to have great authentic Italian cuisine.This family friendly restaurant serves lovely foodStaff are friendly and accomidate you needs very well.We were sat right next to the open kitchen and we watched then prepare and cook our pizzas. The chef was friendly friendly played along with our children. Including making then a dough crocodile. They enjoyed the experience very much.Food was reasonably priced. I didn't feel it was expensive. Maybe the wine.Parking is hard work. There's a pay and display behind the restaurant but it's the most ill designed car park with 10 cars trying to find a space and no room to turn around and manoeuvre. We had to sneakily park behind a shop.Anyway, overall a lovely place to eat.

The best pappardelle I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The pasta was "al dente" and the taste was just great. The staff is really nice and friendly. I will certainly go back there again.

Lovely place to eat, lots of choice of great food. I popped in on my own during the evening without booking and they were happy to seat me. I ordered the Seafood Pizza and a side salad, they were both delicious! The staff are great, friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. So if you're in the area and want some fabulous Italian food, pop in! I can definitely recommend.

Dinner for family of four after visiting nearby museums. We had home made focaccia and garlic bread, and the goats cheese salad starter was epic...I could happily have that as a larger main dish. Kids menu and portion size were great. Sourdough pizzas were delicious. They made a dish which wasn't on the menu at my request.Dessert choice could be better, maybe a few more without alcohol and that would've been a perfect meal.

Recently had lunch there with a friend. We had olives and breadsticks for nibbling and a glass of wine each (montepulicciano). We only had mains: tagliatelle ai funghi (mushrooms) and aubergine parmigiana. We both really enjoyed our meals. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. Worth booking a table.

I came here on a recommendation from an Italian friend. We were greeted by very friendly staff which, to me, is one of the most important ingredients in going out to a restaurant. I always like to try the Calzone and that's exactly what I ordered. I was warned by our waiter that the Calzone Quattro Stagioni was big and, when I finally laid my eyes on it, it didn't disappoint. It's definitely big! You can probably share it with another person. I accompanied this with a cold Birra Moretti and finished it all with a perfect Espresso.
