"**Meal Type:** Lunch **Price per Person:** $20–$30 **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 4/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 5/5 I highly recommend trying the Cashew Chicken, Vegetable Rolls, Spring Rolls, Basil Fried Rice, Thai Fried Rice, and Chicken Pad Thai. The food is outstanding, earning a perfect score! The service is great but could use a little polish, so I gave it 4 stars. The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for lunch. As for parking, there’s plenty available, with a free parking lot that's convenient for diners."

"Love to eat here. They aren't muchore expensive than IHOP, but the food is 1000 times better. It's always hot, no matter if ur getting delivery, pick up or dine in, the food is always great. It gets pretty loud in the restaurant, so we like to pick it up now. I rave about this place to everyone. My #1 favorite breakfast place with Crepes."

"I was very disappointed with the supposed homemade Corned beef hash skillet. It was definitely not homemade. The corned beef was mushy, like it came from a can, and the small diced potatoes tasted like they were from canned corned beef, mixed in with hash browns to try to hide it. It was supposed to be topped with Swiss cheese, but instead came topped with Cheddar cheese. Overall, there was nothing special or great tasting about it, especially for the price of $16. It was definitely not worth it."

"I was so very surprised to find an Italian restaurant to be this good in this area! Being Italian myself it's rare for me to really enjoy eating at Italian restaurants because of growing up eating authentic Italian family recipes. Most places are okay at best but Cucina Rosa is so very good in everything they do. From the moment we walked in and could see the chef working in the kitchen preparing dishes for the guest with an aroma that was inviting. We were immediately greated and felt more like we were in a friend's home. After we were seated we ordered muscles, shrimp and bruschetta. All prepared to perfection! We then ordered manicotti stuffed with ricotta and spinach, lobster ravioli and chicken parmesan. So delicious and the presentation of each dish was top notch! The sauces were so smooth and bursting with flavor, the texture of the pasta was perfect. The chicken parmesan is huge! If you have a large appetite it will fill you otherwise you'll be bringing some home for a second meal! The service was professional, friendly and courteous. Anything we asked for was taken care of. They have a bar for cocktails and other beverages. They create the cocktails with care as they don't just throw them together in a glass but carefully blend them together and again with a perfect presentation. Lastly, desert. Cream brulee that truly was the very best I have ever had anywhere. I've been to Rome, Florence, Venice, cruised on several ships with international chefs and been to several countries. The cream brulee at Cucina Rosa is the best I have ever had! This restaurant is as good as any of the best restaurants I've visited in Italy. I would rate Cucina Rosa 10 stars if it were possible because of the superb food with excellent presentations, the friendly and courteous staff that made us feel right at home, the chef and the wonderful family recipes used for the dishes, and the atmosphere. It's a winning combination in a convenient location. Needless to say we will return to try other dishes and it will be cream brulee again for this returning guest!"

"By far the best breakfast our group EVER had, and that says a lot since we've had a lot of breakfast in our life. Came in on a Sunday morning and our group (large, 7 people) was immediately sat. Every single staff member was amazing. Our waitress was absolutely hysterical and attentive. We will be back to specifically sit in her section because of the overall experience that we had (didn't catch her name). Joked with our table, brought out my adult sister a kid's cup with a top after she spilled water on the floor. Food was served quickly, especially with how busy it was at 10am on a Sunday. Our coffee, water, and sodas were always refilled. Outside of the absolutely amazing staff, the food was INCREDIBLE. It was hard to settle on a dish, so we all got a little bit of everything and everything was exceptional. THE HOMEMADE DONUTS WERE SOMETHING TO DREAM OF. Their house gravy was incredible. Banana Foster crepes were something you can only dream of. 200/10 recommend this place. We will return as often as we can."
