Tucked away in East Oxford, La Cucina brings a slice of Italy to Oxford's cultured Cowley Road. This bustling neighbourhood eatery is known for its warm welcome and home-cooked food, making it a go-to for locals and tourists alike.

Inside, the restaurant buzzes with an easy-going Italian ambience, where wall-hung pictures of Italy inject an additional dose of the Mediterranean. Rugs and exposed brickwork add a rustic feel that complements La Cucina's rustic menu. The open kitchen and delicious wafts of Italy-enhanced coffee make it feel like a real trattoria.

The menu is a daily-changing collection of classic Italian dishes and original favorites. Starters range from the likes of a grazing board of cicchetti bites to a decadent combo of suckling pig and artichoke. Fans of traditional Italian ingredients can opt for dishes like authentic spaghetti alla carbonara, or cicchetti bites.

More land or sea-minded guests can venture to succulent mains like sea trout fillet or rotisserie-style chicken breast. An array of Neapolitan-style pizzas, including a devilish fiery one on which diners take on the restaurant's spice challenge, are one of many things that keep families coming back.

Always seeking to make dining an experience that pleases all, La Cucina offers a varied gluten-free and vegan selection too, as well as some irresistible puds to follow your meal. Classic Italian desserts like tiramisu nestle comfortably beside a chocolate tart, both available in whole or bite-size form.

La Cucina is brimming with joviality and good food, somewhere where simple pasta dishes and heartfelt service create a real hometown trattoria feel. Bring those you hold closest and enjoy all that it has to offer.
