Cucina Palm Beach Gardens — Restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens

A remote island of food bliss among a sea of monotone food establishments best describes this hidden gem in Palm Beach Gardens. Only steps from the PGA National Golf Resort, we stopped by this immaculate new restaurant with impeccable decor. We had lunch outside, since we wanted to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather, as outdoor dining was available. The interior is also lovely decorated with high back blue booths. Our server Paul was very attentive to our every need & the owner personally came to our table to offer recommendations & ensure everything met our satisfaction. That personal attention & eye for detail was very much appreciated, but the real stand out was the food!

Being from New Jersey, who's family is in the restaurant business, I know good food and Cucina Palm Beach Gardens was outstanding! They first presented our table with delicious hand made garlic knots. Then came the octopus, which is the best that I have ever had! This includes eating in Italy & the Greek Isles, where the the locals eat it regularly. My wife & I shared the Panzanella & Greek salads, which were quite refreshing with their absolutely fresh, crisp, high end ingredients. Then came the pizza with their perfectly thin crispy crust and ingenious combinations of premium toppins sent my sent my taste buds off, which brought the dining experience to another level. We did half a La Mela Tartufata, which is like a high end premium apple pie on a pizza taste, and half a "Fun Guy", which has fresh mushrooms, mushrooms sauce and truffle oil on a white. I'm picky when it comes to mushrooms and this hit all the notes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in Florida!

I visited Cucina – Palm Beach Gardens yesterday and was truly impressed from start to finish. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting — modern, clean, and cozy, with just the right balance between casual and refined.

The staff were incredibly warm and attentive without being overbearing. Our server took the time to explain a few specials and made great wine pairing suggestions — very knowledgeable and genuinely kind.

I started with the arancini, which were perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy inside, with a rich, comforting flavor. For the main course, I had the Linguine alle Vongole, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had — al dente pasta, fresh clams, and a garlic white wine sauce that was packed with flavor but not overpowering.

My friend ordered the Mushroom Risotto, and it was just as delicious: creamy, earthy, and balanced. We shared a Margherita pizza too, just to try it — thin, crispy crust with high-quality cheese and sauce. Pure Italian comfort.

To finish, we had the tiramisu, which was light, not too sweet, and had that authentic espresso kick I always hope for in a good tiramisu.

Prices are fair for the quality, portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made fresh. This place isn’t just another Italian restaurant — it has soul.

I’ll definitely be back soon. If you’re in the area and craving genuine Italian food with great service,...

I came here to enjoy my lunch like I normally do and service is always wonderful but there was a woman that was working on Wednesday around 12 she came and took our order and messed up my order but I wasn’t upset or anything about that because we are human. But after our meal it was time to pay she brought the receipt and I told her it was separate she said we can do it ourselves on the app so I said ok we tried but it said to split it evenly so I told my friend she didn’t want to do it that way cause it wouldn’t have been fair so I called her back over n told her the problem she did it on a device I put no tip because I like to tip in cash. She asked was there anything wrong with the service I said no. She proceeded to ask “ do you not normally tip” i was a little taken aback only because she said it with an attitude and I don’t have to tip if I don’t want to .. i hate that they make the customers feel like it’s not and option. it was such an awkward feeling my co worker felt pressured to tip her on the app because she did have cash as well to tip. Also she did not check on us at all didn’t ask for refills nothing she just seemed like she didn’t want to service us in the 1st place so next time I’ll just take my...
