"To be fair, I’ve only dined at Cucina Bene during lunch when I'm in the area. Since my friends work in one of the buildings at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, I usually park in the structure and walk over to the restaurant. This is the only place my friends and I all agree on for lunch, as it’s far better than the surrounding options, like Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, or Sisley’s. Cucina Bene never disappoints for our midday meals. However, I can’t speak to their dinner service. It’s a family-owned restaurant and can get quite busy. Fortunately, one of my friends eats here at least once a week, so they always manage to get us a table. The service is excellent, and one of the owners is always present to ensure everything runs smoothly, which I really appreciate. My favorites include the endless garlic rolls, the salmon with pomegranate sauce, and the linguini con vongole. Trust me, this place is far better than Sisley’s!"
