Cucina Amore: Reviews & Ratings
Just had a lovely meal in here. Great tastes and very attentive service. The food was slightly overseasoned but the meats cooked to perfection. Surprised it was so quiet on a Bank holiday Monday. We will return!
Aside from 10 minute wait for ordering drinks at the beginning, given full attention from what seemed to be the two owners. Friendly, polite and a high level of customer service. Flavoursome main dish with attention to detail on side components. Exceeded expectations, would recommend!
Been a couple of times recently and the family had a great meal both times.
My wife and I had dinner here and it was lush. Last time I had an Italian meal like this we were in Bardolino. My wife had the Haggis Arancini which was a special and I had the Calamari fritti from the starters to kick off. I had a taste of the arancini which was really nice, but the Calamari was exceptionally good. Sometime Calamari can lose it's flavour as you chew but not this dish. Really good. For my main I had the Venison Papardelle from the specials and it was delicious. A perfectly balanced Venison ragu and melt in the mouth pasta. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was lovely. My wife had the panacotta. It was all washed down with a very nice pinot grigio and the whole meal was very reasonable, price wise. Would definitely recommend Cucina Amore.
Absolutely amazing meal and phenomenal service, highly recommend to anyone visiting north berwick
Excellent food and friendly staff, service was also excellent don't take the 3 star rating for atmosphere too seriously as we went for late lunch and the restaurant was very quiet, wouldn't hesitate to go back
Highly recommended for an amazing homemade kitchen and reasonable prices! One of a very few that serves really amazing and Italian food! I am a fan of Italian cuisine and I have tried many of them in Edinburgh and around, this is the Winner! Everything was freshly prepared and my friend enjoyed homemade tiramisu. Good atmosphere and music choice too. Plenty of space to bring your kids too. All the best for more happy customers! We will be definitely back!
Wonderful service, this was truly the best carbonara I’ve ever had. Margherita pizza was very tasty as well!
