La Cucina

Was looking for a restaurant that was open after 8:00pm and came across this place. Ratings were good so it was worth the try. Arrived at the place and waited several minutes before any of the staff acknowledged that we were there. Eventually someone came past and ushered to a free table after they had prepared it. Service was friendly and good with a smile. Garlic bread with olive oil dressing as a taster good idea but at least bake the bread and don’t serve it raw. Pasta bolognese was ordered which came out very quickly which is warning sign. Too much water on the plate and the pasta at different temp and texture was a tell tell sign this was not properly good. Sauce was bland, watery misding salt and water from the pasta just made it mushy. Meal balls tasted bland as if filled with bread. Not sire where the high scores come from but real Italian food.. just ok for a quick meal. Nothing special

Hans was an amazing server got us an incredible spot at the bar. This spot is a Reno stapled and we have delicious pasta. My brother got the blackened chicken alfredo and I got the spicy angel hair pasta. They also offer lots of gluten-free options which was really incredible for me. Great wine selection we also got to have a delicious dessert, affogato. Shannon his manager suggested I add blackened shrimp to my pasta dish and it did not disappoint. Make sure you stop here when you’re in town.
