La Cucina in Stirling

Consistently great food and good service. There’s always a board with ‘specials’ on offer. The restaurant has a lovely friendly atmosphere.

I have visited La Cucina on several occasions however, due to work commitments it’s been some time. Well it did not disappoint. My family and I went for an evening meal (6 of us) and every one of us were delighted with the service, the quality of food and the over atmosphere in the restaurant. The staff are very polite and have a great knowledge of the menu, which helps when there is so many great dishes to choose from. I had mussels to start with followed by spaghetti mare, both were outstanding. Great portions and at a very reasonable price. Excellent selection of wine is also on offer. Overall we had a great night. Superb experience and fantastic food. Definitely recommend and we will be back

What an absolutely fantastic meal. As a table of 8, we tried a range of starters and mains, and they were all exceptional. The service was very polite and attentive, and the atmosphere really good. We've all eaten in plenty of Italian restaurants over the country, and this one is a complete gem. The food had that authentic Italian background flavour you usually only get in Italy. That's all we can say really. Don't miss this one!

Lovely staff very friendly and accomodating food was excellent and really great pinit grigio

Great food and service. Reasonable prices. Good atmosphere , attentive but not intrusive staff .

We come here quite often and the food is always consistently delicious. It is served in a courteous manner and is well priced. It is always a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Family pre Christmas visit. Lovely food maybe a wee bit pricey for some of the main courses but good quality never the less

Fantastic place with great food and service!

Fantastic food and well looked after by the staff. We had the pasta special and it was delicious- thank you!

Lacklustre,no ambiance.Got the lunch menu £15.95. The starter was good mushrooms with bread. The puttanesca sauce was nice ,but the spaghetti must have been the cheapest thinnest,served up broken bits.This is no Sugo or la Molisana.Little or no anchovy taste. The arrabiata had two whole chillies in it ,so hot as to be almost inedible.Its meant to have a "chilli bite".The penne was not al dente. Congrats to the chef for a new dish vindaloo arrabiata. An off day?

Absolutely stunning restaurant with the friendliest of staff and the food was by far the best I've had so far during my visit to the area.

The best Italian restaurant in Stirling. Always has great customer service. Always feel looked after by the staff. The food is consistently a high standard. The starters are really incredible, and the desserts are truly authentic. Nice buzzing atmosphere. Always walk away happy at the end of the meal. Recommend dining here if you’re in town.

Fantastic afternoon in a superb, chilled, friendly wee place!!! Ages ranged from 83 to 14! Table of 11 and staff were 1st class! Food totally amazing and great value for money😋 Will definitely be returning very soon!

Extended family lunch in this lovely Italian Restaurant. Great menu choices with some Italian classics (including Pizza). I chose the Beef Carpaccio to start and Seafood Spaghetti as a main course and there was an abundance of Seafood to get through ! Daily specials also offered. Great drinks choices and selection of wines. Serving staff very friendly. I'm in envy of the locals as this is a true gem of a place. Shame I live over 400 miles away as would be making a visit to La Cucina a weekly staple. Will certainly return as soon as I can.

It was absolutely fantastic, but there was no veal chop, no white champagne, and no red bull, but the service was great

Lovely meal for 4 last night when on holiday. Excellent food served by very friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Shame we don't live nearer so can return. Recommend visiting.

Lovely friendly restaurant with good variety menu. Food was excellent, staff very friendly. Recommend visiting.

Food delicious, great service. Lovely restaurant.

Another great meal, lots of yummy food, everyone in group very happy. Huge portions, all suitable full afterwards!

Fantastic food and atmosphere, love it…! Been here several times, each time is great, it’s now our regular date night venue

Yummy food and good service. All you need

My Wife and I ate in here recently and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the service. The menu is extremely varied and very tasty and the choice of wines available are good.

The best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with such a warm welcome. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are amazing and the food is exceptional. I can't wait to visit again. All of our dishes were cooked to perfection. This is a must if you want the best Italian cuisine this is the restaurant to book.

So disappointed. I took my daughter out for our tea. My main meal was cool so spoke to waiter. He took it away, then informed me the chef would put in back in the pan. It came back much hotter. Food was super. However after the re-heat no one came to ask if things were okay, in fact no one came back to the table at all until the end. We were asked if we required desert. Said we were full. Waiter walked away and came back with the bill. Still not asked if things were okay. Paid with card Waiter took payment and walked away. My daughter had a tip ready to leave but we just went out. I have been here before and service was nothing like this.

Went here for my graduation dinner and again as a treat and both times the manager was out front not only talking to customers but taking our orders, delivering our food etc etc etc. clearly a very hands on manager who takes his job seriously. Staff both times were incredibly attentive and we felt that we could ask a staff member for a refill/extra starter with no problem. Got the same starter and main course both times and the food was 10/10. Atmosphere is wonderful. Cannot wait to go again sometime

First time for a while and really enjoyed it.

First time visit and I was really impressed with the freshness and quality of the food

Love this place .foods just devine and lucky for me not to far .

We are regulars at this lovely restaurant and we enjoyed another fabulous lunch there on Friday. We didn’t book but we were lucky to get a table as it was busy. The staff are polite and welcoming plus very efficient. My husband had the lunch fixed price menu and I chose a starter off the main menu plus a half portion of a pasta dish also from the main menu. Everything was of an extremely high standard and so tasty. This restaurant cooks the best mussels I’ve ever eaten. I would highly recommend. Portions are very generous too.

Food was amazing. We went here to celebrate my partner getting a new job and we will definitely be back! The quality of the food was top notch, the staff were brilliant and everything was fresh. Can't recommend enough if you are looking for great quality Italian food

Paid La Cucina a visit whilst we were stopping in Sterling. Well worth the trip over to Bridge of Allan a beautiful place. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Really good food tried nine plates between us and everything was really good. Busy busy place that added to a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and return

Redelijk goed eten, op tempo geserveerd.

Everything was excellent. Proper Italian food, nice service, nice atmosphere. Simply perfect. Highly recommended.

Food was great, nice atmosphere and well priced. The staff we all really good.

Great evening at La Cucina after the Highland Games. Family of 9, delicious food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Can definitely recommend if your in Bridge of Allan.

We were happily surprised by the many choices on the menu. The dishes we choose were delicious. This Italian restaurant is certainly a recommendation. Staff also very friendly.

Great local Italian restaurant, always welcoming and friendly with great food and drinks.

It’s noisy, but not unpleasantly so. We’ve been twice, once with friends, once as a couple. Both times, we were very happy. Try the mussels, the seafood risotto, and the veal Marsala. All delicious.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff!

Went for a meal following my daughter's graduation. There were 5 of us and everybody's meal was excellent. Highly recommend this restuarant.

Delicious food and excellent service.

Visited here on New Year's Eve after managing to get a last minute booking. Food was fantastic and so flavourful. We shared a starter and had a main meal each. Service was excellent, staff friendly and professional. The restaurant had a great atmosphere. Very reasonably priced given the location/area. Plenty of parking in the surrounding area, only a short walk away. Definitely recommend and will be back.

The food exceptional as always and brilliant wine! But what really made the night was the server, Dan I believe with the blue shirt was amazing, made the experience so personable and was attentive! Was a nice difference from a few months ago where service was a bit dry so thankyou for a lovely evening!

Took a trip to Bridge of Allan and fpund a lovely italian La Cucina. We opted for the three course lunch as thei menu was so nice. We had minestrone soup, so tasty lots of lovely veg and piping hot, our main course was chicken which came in a tomato sauce with lots of peppers and onions, this came with roast potatoes carrots and shredded red cabbage, it was very tasty. Our dessert was pannacotta with strawberries and a dark chocolate sauce so good. Would highly recommend this little gem definetely worth a visit. Staff were very welcoming 😀

We went as two couples and enjoyed the food, and drink in this Italian restaurant. Once again ,the service was also very good.

Two families combined to celebrate joint graduations. Food was excellent, variously almost all of the specials (recommended as each was lovely) were sampled along with some of the dishes on the standard menu. Everything was first class, the service efficient and friendly, atmosphere was great....

Absolutely excellent , we had a family day at the Safari Park and we booked in here for 5pm. As soon as we walked in I knew that it was going to be great! The smell as you walk in was tremendous (and I’m a...

Great tasting food and massive portions. Nice location and good service.

Best Italian Restaurant in the area

Visited here with my longest standing Scottish female friend, who like me has a liking for all things Italy 🇮🇹 Served fantastico food by authentic Italians. We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, socialising at a pace which we both learnt from various visits to Italy...

Always a most enjoyable experience. Recommended.

La Cucina was a wonderful find in the quaint little town of Bridge of Allan. The food was delicious and had good wine pairings. The pasta arrabiata was amazing. This simple dish was elevated and amazing! My wife had the special fish was was light...

Had a lovely 3 course lunch with my friend from the set menu. Food was delicious 😋

We were a party of 5 -- four adults and a 9yr-old -- booked in (just after lunchtime the day before) for 6PM on a Thurs night. This was only the second time we've been in, but both times have been very reliable and tasty. The atmosphere is quiet and a little upscale. It's a moderately special occasion sorta place for us. I mentioned that one of us might need to leave early, and they accommodated our sharpish schedule no problem. We had two appetizers, mains, and desserts. The waiter had no problem choosing a wine for me and I enjoyed his suggestion (even though I changed my choice of mains from a creamy pasta to one with red sauce). I'm sure we will be back.

Good italian food, not the greatest

Second visit for my adult son and I, and yet again, well worth it. If you only have room for one starter take the fritelle - one word - moreish. We both opted for a pizza and they were both freshly made, piping hot and...

Fabulous 60th birthday celebration with family. Food outstanding, service second to none in this authentic Italian restaurant. We all loved the atmosphere. Staff sang happy birthday and had decorated the table. Excellent night, highly recommended.

Been a few times it's just lovely food amazing and service very friendly staff

Great for eating and close contact experience

Met here for a "work-related" lunch and was favourably impressed with the food and the service. The place is reasonably large with not many spare seats available on a Friday lunchtime. Parking was available on-street not too far away. The menu was extensive and varied and reasonably priced. If you enjoy Italian food, this is definitely worth a visit.

What an amazing place. We turned up without a booking however they gratefully accepted us. We were made to feel welcome from beginning to end. The waiter Antonio was attentive and helpful. The meals were freshly made and both of us said one of the best meals we have ever eaten. Beautiful. Thank you so much for making us feel special. It was special for us as we were visiting the area for the first time. We will both highly recommend this wee gem of a place and will be back to savour more delights.

I had a lasagne which was tasty. Staff were friendly fun and attentive but not overbearing.

Great wee Italian restaurant, food and service top notch

Excellent meal and great service.

What a brilliant Italian... The restaurant looks nice and modern which was very clean. Our waiter was brilliant who explained the specials so well I went for a spicy one which was amazing. My workmate had the calzone which was massive! Very good atmosphere and it got really busy by the time we left. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

What a fabulous little restaurant the food is fabulous the staff are courteous and friendly. Lunchtime menu as well as a la carte Can't recommend highly enough . A must if you are in or around Bridge of Allan.

A return visit for us. That the restaurant is always busy when we’ve visited is a testament to the quality of food and service. An active venue and locally very handy to avoid having to travel into Stirling. We all enjoyed our food - pasta...

We opted for the 2 course lunch. Excellent value. Was not disappointed. Perfectly cooked fish and pork. The service was fast and polite. Im going back for more

Went there for my son's birthday great food and nice atmosphere

Great food and nice staff! Complimenti!

Really nice Italian food with a good gluten free range.

Beautiful setting, lovely cheerful helpful staff, amazing food . My no 1 place to visit and never once in 7 years as a customer been disappointed.. Highly recommended

Didnt appreciate this visit so much. Food was expensive. Drinks too. I dont think we will be back.

Absolutely the best Italian food I've had on a long time .a wee jewel in bridge of Allan.a must to try .

This italian restaurant is one off the best I been in the UK so far, great food and service, for the fact that we were very many people, they still worked very fast and professionally.

Waiters were deplorable, service non existent. Food was okay, nothing special. Freezing restaurant, no ambience. Felt rushed, in and out within less than an hour. Won't be returning and would not recommend.

The food was nice, service was good too, found it quite good value and we had a good time. If I was to be picky, it would be nicer if there was actually some basil and pine nuts on the caprese as advertised and the pizza had a soggy bottom.

Great Italian restaurant. Pizzas and pasta are fantastic Relaxed atmosphere was perfect for family birthday meal

We are regular customers here and it never fails to please. The mussels starter is the best with garlic bread to mop up the delicious sauce. We usually have the three course lunch menu but a few weeks ago we ate from the a la...

What a fantastic find hidden away in the Bridge of Allan near Stirling. Best calamari starter we gave had in the UK for a very long time. All three of us had pasta and was just as good as in Italy or any great Italian...

Lovely ambiance. Food and service are fab. Good wine list. The specials looked great but so did the menu. I had a chicken dish which was beautiful. Good amounts on plates without it being overwhelming. Nothing went to waste!

Great two course lunch, well worth the visit.

Not quite sure why I haven't been here before! Visited Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. Nice lunch/pre-theatre menu which seemed good value but we opted for the ala carte menu instead. We both had Spaghetti Aglio olio, which we really enjoyed - a firm...

Visited yesterday for lunch Great lunch deal and food was superb , will return when next down that area

Had lunch yesterday Great lunch offer , food and staff both excellent Defo worth a visit , will return next time in area

Great service Food always 1st class Chilli Prawns and mussels a favourite

Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Thank you

To keep it short but sweet, the food in this restaurant is exceptional and the staff highly attentive and professional.

Delicious food and lovely place

It’s been some time since my last visit however, the service, experience and the quality of the food is still amazing. My wife had a seafood pasta which was amazing and I opted for the lasagna, again it was cooked to perfection and very tasty....

Loved it!!!Food,service,decor and price. Will definitely be going back

Lovely food and good portions. Quite noisy but its a vibrant atmosphere.

This restaurant is amazing. Food and service are excellent. We were a table of 7, all of Italian decent and were all very impressed by the authenticity of the dishes.

We visited last night as a family group of seven. Everything was good from start to finish. Service was efficient but not pushy, and very friendly. We had a real mix of main courses: pastas, pizzas, risottos, and I had the Veal Milanese. This is...

Fabulous restaurant! We were a large table and everyone was well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Been back several times for both sitting in and takeaway. Only thing we didn’t enjoy is the pizzas due to base which we feel should be more crispy but everything else is perfect.

Fab quality and value lunch menu.

Always love eating at this restaurant. The food is amazing - excellent menu, specials always worth checking out and the service couldn't be better. It's lovely - thoroughly recommend.

Returned here after a good few years for an anniversary supper, as we booked on line , last minute . Arrived on time, shown to our table , our meals ordered . We shared a bruschetta , very tasty , for mains I had pasta...

Went with 6 family members for our daughter's graduation. Cannot fault the service or the food and we had everything from bruschetta to calamari, thoroughly enjoyed the food, but felt a bit bare inside and would imagine it's uncomfortable if I was seated a really...

Had the most amazing meal here! Divine food, and fantastic service. Really recommend!! I had the vegetarian antipasti to start and seafood risotto. So delicious!
