“One of the best restaurants on the Cape”

La Cucina Sul Mare

Jul 13, 2006

LOVE the atmosphere of this place, linen tablecloths, dim lighting, candles on the tables and incredible murals on the walls. My wife and I have been here twice, once in 2003 and once in July 06 and both times the we had a great overall experience. We told the waiter we weren't in any rush and he let us take out time. The food is excellent, huge portions. We started with a Ceasar and a Caprese salad, both of which were fantasic. Chicken Picatta was great, although slightly heavy on the butter. We also got this incredible seafood pasta dish served in a skillet which was FANTASTIC!! Plently of scallops, shrimp, mussels, and a 1/2 lobster served in a broth with liguine, this dish is a MUST for seafood lovers.

I have to agree with the review posted on Feb 9, my only complaint would be the hostess, who happened to be a tall thin brunette, she was not welcoming at all.

We were lucky. We had a wonderful meal (Great Veal Picatta and Pesto Tortillini). Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Maybe they read the earlier reviews here about bad service. Our server went above and beyond most servers. She was terrific.

“food and service good, but...hostess??”

La Cucina Sul Mare

3/3 found this review helpful

I dined here and had a great dinner. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant-the food was fresh and well prepared,and our wine choice (recommended by our waitress) complemented our meal very well.My coworkers food allergy was accommodated as well, which was a nice surprise.Generally, we (5 of us) had an enjoyable meal.My one complaint was that the tall brunette woman hostess was really stressed and rude to the table who were waiting before us(they left)and the interaction between her and some other tables was inappropriate-she spoke to a table to my right extensively about her weight problem(strange)and they were a little put off-she didn't notice their discomfort (nor ours) -The wait was a little long,(the pleasant cocktail waitress brought us a drink) but that is to be expected on a busy weekend. The food and service was worth the wait of 45 minutes, but I'd rather not be subjected to a weary unprofessional hostess-maybe the manager wasn't aware of this woman's apparentlack of restaurant experience? I would have given another star to my review-Otherwise, the atmosphere was pretty -Old World Italy, with interesting finish on the walls and ornate decor.The next time in Falmouth I will probably try eating there again-maybe she won't be working!

Everyone raves about La Cucina, but the two times we went there, we were disappointed. The atmosphere is nice and the waitstaff pleasant, but the food quality is only a notch above chain level, and considerably overpriced. Actually, as another reviewer mentioned, if your measurement was price per pound, it would be a different story, because the portions are appropriate for 3-4 people, not 1. So if you feel like paying $16 for a huge plate of spaghetti with garlic & olive oil and $6 for a bottle of sparkling water, head on over. Otherwise, save your $$ for a trip to Atwell's Ave in Providence or Hanover St in Boston.

“Wonderfu Dining Experience”

La Cucina Sul Mare

I have had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant many times through the year and have always found it to be a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance is great, the waitstaff courteous, prompt, and generally knowledgeable, and the food has always been outstanding (Lobster bisque is wonderful and I really like their Chicken Marsala). The wine selection is good (could improve with some stronger selections). I have brought many family members and friends to this restaurant and they have all loved it.
