Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Benidorm

We booked in for 4 people. The atmosphere was great and very interesting decor that we talked about for atleast the first 15 minutes after we sat down. The starter was an italian ham and chesse platter with a side of honey, it was exceptional and I liked the combination very much. For main, me and my father had Chicken stuffed with ham and cheese with sliced potatoes. My mother had a Spicy Pizza which she loved. My girlfriend had a pasta with a nice sauce with minced meat (we can't remember what it was called). Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and the portions were perfect, especially after a starter. This place should have far more people eating there than it does since the quality is amazing. I would suggest that they make themselves known on some of the benidorm facebook groups like "Benidorm seriously" or get in contact with a local youtuber under the name of "Benidorm Stuff" who goes around restaurants and new locations in benidorm. I hope this place gets very successful because...

What a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like family — warm smiles, relaxed atmosphere, and a truly romantic setting that makes you forget you’re just a few steps from the busy Benidorm streets.

The restaurant has that perfect homely Italian feel — simple, genuine, and full of heart. The garlic bread was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had — light, crispy, and full of flavour. I went for the lasagne and it was absolutely fantastic — rich, cheesy, and perfectly cooked. My wife had the spaghetti bolognese and declared it the best she’s ever had (and that’s saying something!).

Cucina Italiana is one of those rare finds — family-run, authentic, and full of soul. If you’re looking for a place in Benidorm that serves amazing food in a cosy, romantic setting, this is it.

Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in...

I usually keep restaurant reviews short, however it's not possible this time, this is no ordinary restaurant, it's out of this world good, my husband decided to order from the menu, he was most certainly not disappointed. His bruscheta was the most stunning , tasty, huge one he has ever had, his main was 4 cheese gnocchi , which was delicious. I only wish we had taken photos. My son and myself ate from the tourist menu, I don't even know where to start with this, the amount of food , the tastiness, presentation was incredible for 18 Euro this included a drink, ice cream and coffee, if you haven't tried this hidden gem you to totally have too. The staff were so lovely and very helpful. We will definitely be returning on our next visit....
