La Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

Visited La Cucina Italiana on a classic greyish gothenburgian wednesday evening, i.e. a perfect evening for Italian delicacies! Upon entering the restaurant you are greeted by a fancy yet cosy decor in a smaller room seating approximately 14 and some seats. The service was great and pleasant from the start and throughout the stay. We decided on their four course menu "La Cena" accompanied with a reduced wine package (half glasses). It was clear all through the evening that the menu was carefully planned, both in the presentation and in taste. We got the pleasure to meet Pietro Fioriniello when he came out to see how his guests were feeling. To summarize, I highly recommend La Cucina Italiana. It is an experience well worth it you will not...

Group dining at a very nice Italian restaurant. The chef recommends a 4 course tasting menu and you end up with about 8 courses if you include the tasters and amuse Bouche in between courses. The duck with saffron risotto was delicious, there was also a fantastic Norwegian scallop with some black taglialini with capers and spicy sausage. It will take too long to describe each dish, and they change anyway. It was lovely, talking to the chef and the waiter, I tried to negotiate a cheaper price for a bottle of the fantastic olive oil they sell. But even in Italian, I couldn't get him to drop the price. It was all delicious, I haven't even mentioned the red wine yet. Go there and enjoy a 2 hour meal in a restaurant that seats...

La Cucina Italiana is a small, cozy spot with a simple yet elegant ambiance—ideal for a quiet evening out. Their focus is on set menus, though they do offer a limited à la carte selection. I opted for the à la carte and ordered a risotto followed by tiramisu.

Service was warm and attentive, with a nice personal touch—the chef even came to the table to explain the dish, which I really appreciated. However, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype or the price point. The risotto was overly salty, and while the portion was decent, the tiramisu was disappointingly small—barely the size of an egg—and lacked depth in flavor.

Overall, while the hospitality stood out, the food and value for money left me...
