The food is off the charts and drink prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and provide an amazing atmosphere. Great spot for Italian inspired cuisine or yummy comfort food before or after any event downtown.

I’ve dined in and had takeout, and both experiences were great. The servers are so friendly, kind, and attentive. The owner is also incredibly friendly and kind, and truly wants to go out of his way to make sure you have a good experience and an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is lively and clean, with a great atmosphere. There are menu options for everyone, even for someone vegan like myself. The vegan pizza is so good. It really hits the spot especially if you haven’t had pizza in a long time as a vegan. I also really appreciate the tofu options, which are hard to come by in Orlando. The salads are always fresh with crisp greens and a nice balance of other fresh veggies. The location is great, close to the Kia Center and the Dr. Phillips Center, and it’s also an easy walk from Lake Eola if you’re downtown working or just around grabbing lunch or dinner. They’re very good with large groups as well. The patio seating has a really nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend giving this place a try for some great pizza and Italian food downtown!

Very nice Italian bar. We had a hero, pizza and old fashioneds. Everything was excellent quality. The pizza crust was purrrr. Benji was our bartender/server. He provided great service with great attention to detail.

We were warmly welcomed into Cucina Pizza & Bar by the owner himself, who held the door open for us with a friendly smile and greeting. The service was excellent, our drinks and food arrived promptly, and refills were offered without even having to ask. The pizza was outstanding, perfectly balanced with light sauce, a crisp crust, and flavorful pepperoni and sausage. We also ordered the Penne Alla Vodka, which was equally delicious and left us highly impressed. A special highlight was when the owner stopped by our table to check on us and personally introduce himself. It’s clear how much pride he takes in his restaurant, team, and guests, which made the experience even more memorable. Thank you for an amazing first visit, Cucina Pizza & Bar will definitely be our new go-to spot before games and shows when we’re in the area! *pictured is our delicious pizza that i got into before my phone because i was starving and it looked so good

The food and service here was outstanding. We ordered the Mediterranean pizza, lasagna, meatballs and a salad to share with our group. There was only a single slice left when we were finished (Hence the photo). The server was attentive and food was out quickly. The owner even introduced himself and asked if everything was good. Thank you! We will definitely be back. Local hotspot for sure.
