Well I visited this restaurant for the first time with my Italian partner and tell you what it was a HIT! My partner is from Sicily and very hard to please, to say the least doesn't like any Italian restaurant soo much in London. This Place made her happy. She says 'real Italian is this'! Fantastic service, the waiter was amazing, food nicely presented and great aura about the place. There is a good variety of dishes from Italy and their specials on the board were appealing. In fact I will have to visit again as she really want to eat everything ;) Also it was good on my pocket.

Visited restaurant yesterday. Only one waiter / manager who must have taken an instant dislike to us. Very rude! Had soup of the day (very small portion) poor value for £4.99. Additional starters prawn tempura and meon with ham. My wife had Pollo al Pepe and I ordered lamb cutlets for mains. Chicken breast stringy; lamb cutlets tough and chewy (£21.80 waste of money). Charged £10 for Bar (only two cokes). Admitted mistake when queried. Total bill after correction £74 including 10% service chg. I have a paid lot more elsewhere so I am not a cheapskate! Was informed credit card machine not working and waiter said CASH ONLY! (was this because I queried bill). No prior notice of this. May be true, but difficult to believe as two tables with at least 6 persons and a couple with four - cost and cannot imagine that person paying would carry so much cash. First and last visit! - NEVER AGAIN. First time writing review as annoyed and disappointed with food and service.

Absolutely shocking service and never heard anyone be so rude to customers. I’m surprised this restaurant (if you can call it that) is still open. Overpriced (they charged us for using the table and chairs beyond our booking time even though the restaurant was empty) and awful tasteless food. Don’t say this very often but stay clear.

We were in Pinner and decided we wanted a bite to eat and chose La Cucina. Entering the restaurant at about 6:20pm on a Friday the waitress approached us and asked us if we had a reservation I replied no and she said she'd have to check. The (presumably) manager or owner took a sharp intake of breath and said very loudly "no reservation" There followed a pursing of lips and dubious expression before he allowed that we could sit at a table he indicated at the front of the restaurant. This was all a bit of a surprise as the 40/50 place restaurant was completely empty at the time. Order was taken and food arrived 20 minutes later (the restaurant was still empty apart from us). The menu showed whether each dish had gluten/lactose etc and sad to say most of them did have at least one My wife had the vegetable lasagna which she says is amongst the best she's tasted, I had the veal milanese which was quite dry and the carrots accompanying it were a bit undercooked and hard for me. I ordered a glass of the house white and we had a bottle of sparkling water. No salt and pepper on the table and, as is tradition in most `Italian restaurants, no offer of pepper mill or parmesan cheese. No one came to ask us if everything was OK until we'd more or less finished so they missed out on me ordering a second glass of wine. The bill was a few pence short of £40 including a mandatory 10% service charge. When we left there were only 4 other diners in the restaurant so not sure what all the fuss was about when we arrived. Little atmosphere in the restaurant, food of mixed quality and service not great, overall pretty ordinary so probably won't be eating there again I'm afraid

I booked for 8 people and was told to arrive at 545pm and would have to leave at 7pm as there was another group. We got there at 540 and were told we don’t open until 7pm. We were rushed to book all our food immediately. The manager was definitely not customer friendly and frankly could not cope. The wine was poured into a normal glass, so wasted some of my wine with no apology or at least to offer a separate glass of wine😢 Rather disappointing

This was a evening meal for 4 (myself, my wife, sister and her husband). The ambience was nice and we had a good rapour with the server (Rumanian guy). The food was generally good. If I went back I would not order the Gnocci (veg main course) - it was massively over- garliced (be warned!) I cannot believe an authentic Italian recipe would contain so much - my wife (who cannot cope with garlic smells) will not let me in the same room as her the next day!. The gents bathroom was quite delapidated, I would like to return and try other things on the menu but I doubt my wife will permit it!

We went back to this Italian restaurant after a couple of years. We had lovely memories of this place, the food was great. Not sure what happened though (new management? New chef?) but the quality has gone down a lot. The pasta wasn’t cooked properly and the sauce tasted like supermarket. Rest of the meal was about average as well. Overall felt I would have eaten much better at home. Staff was nice and helpful but won’t come back.

Due to the circumstances of COVID-19, we were unable to sit in the restaurant. My family and I ordered a takeaway. I never write reviews but on this occasion I feel it’s necessary. I was so impressed with the customer service. The food arrived promptly. We ordered two pasta dishes and two pizzas. As someone who’s Italian and have been brought up in Italy, i was blown away with the authenticity of the food. I have never tried such authentic food whilst living in the UK. The pizza base was soft and the pasta was delicious. I will definitely be ordering from here again and hopefully soon will be able to sit in the restaurant!!

We visited this restaurant with friends two days ago, the evening before the area became an area of high COVID risk (tier 2). There were no single use paper menus and we were expected to activate the QR code on our mobile phones. One party member did not even own a phone and only one member of the party accessed the menu easily. The waiter then took our mobile phones from us and tried to activate the QR code but did not succeed. Eventually he brought the full menu which was written on heavy duty card (obviously not single use). The waiters mask kept slipping as it was too big and often his face was not covered. There was a child at another table who was permitted to move around the restaurant freely. Diners were allowed to enter and move through the restaurant without masks. The dessert menus were provided on heavy duty card (again not single use). There was no hand gel supplied on entry. In spite of giving contact details on booking, a pad of paper and pen were supplied for a contact name, email address and phone number. Obviously the same pad and pen were used for all customers. We all enjoyed the food and would have been quite happy if we were not in the middle of a pandemic. Although assuring us beforehand that it was COVID secure, our actual experience was very different. This restaurant needs to review its COVID procedures urgently.

Tasked with choosing a restaurant for my birthday dinner which would please my nonagenarian father, my teenage daughter and my connoisseur husband, I came across La Cucina. Well Dad likes Italian, and the others like pizza so I thought I would give it a try.I didn’t think I had seen this before and I now know they only opened in August. As we arrived the restaurant looked a little bright for our taste, but Dad likes it light, so this was a plus. In fact, whilst well lit, the lighting wasn’t harsh and the interior was tastefully decorated for Christmas, had beautifully dressed tables, and chairs that were comfortable - a rarity. AND no muzak blaring out, no tired Christmas songs, but gentle piano music. We were already sold on this place!The waiter quickly brought a basket of lovely bread with butter and olives and took our drinks order. It was a chilly evening and I was delighted to find myself next to a radiator and pleasantly cosy. The menu is fairly traditional, with something to please most tastes. There is also a daily specials board. I am not a seafood eater, but from the menu range and specials, this restaurant looks to be a good place for seafood lovers and the people next to us ordered all seafood and loved it.We had focaccia, caprese salad, minestrone and garlic mushrooms. The foccacia was OK - a bit dull, but the other starters were great. The caprese salad was generous with lovely firm tomatoes and fresh mozarrella. The minestrone looked and smelled wonderful and my Father was impressed. We also messed the restaurant around as my husband had to pop back home, but they still managed to serve the garlic mushrooms piping hot and we were assured that we would be vampire-free for a few days! The waiter also brought more bread when the starters were served which was a nice touch.For mains we had gnocchi, risotto, pizza and sea bass. The pizza was ok but not that interesting - probably more authentic than the pizzas we are used to. The gnocchi sauce was delicious, though my daughter prefers the gnocchi fried and a little less doughy. The mushroom risotto was gorgeous - well flavoured and a good texture. And finally the sea bass was lovely - a light sauce with sliced olives and perfectly cooked vegetables, again all well flavoured. All the portions were generous.We were too full for desserts. I think a chef who can cook vegetables so they have a good flavour and are neither mushy nor hard, is a good sign. The chef here knows his stuff. All parts of each dish were given attention unlike many places where unexciting vegetables are thrown on as an afterthought.We are definitely lacking good places to dine in our area, especially places where you can hear yourself think and where you are not packed in like sardines. La Cucina is a real plus. We hope they do really well and we will definitely be back.

Enjoyed our first evening here, thank god it was not full, amazing Christmas jazzy decoration, loved their Christmas tree. Food was delicately prepared with real passion, great presentation. Love your table decorations too, innovative. Pizza was excellent, prawns were scrumptious, we had all the starters ordered as we wanted to taste the food. We think the food was outstanding, after being in several eateries in London, I am glad we have a place like London, in Pinner, local and special. We were not happy to see some customers (quiet a lot of them) creating a fuss for nothing and were bullying the staff and the chef there; they seemed some local trouble makers! Don't know why people do it. We loved the food and were made to feel special. Affagato was really to die for. This place was a recommendation and we are glad we went. Honestly if you are looking for a quick fix food, go to fish and chips! This place is like one of those places in London where you relax and enjoy the surroundings with good food. Negative comments will discourage people like at La Cucina so I think we should try to retain our local Italian restaurant, the one before this and the chain restaurants we have are a disaster!

Quite poor really. After a lot of good reviews I was expecting good things. Our antipasti shared starter looked like it had been slipped straight out of a supermarket packet and onto slightly wilted bagged salad with a bit of crumbled cheese. Two friends had lasagne and were not impressed. I had carbonara. It was served with bacon ( not even crispy) instead of pancetta. When I pointed this out to the waiter he said they couldn’t get any. Really? It’s the same as saying they’d run out of pasta and so had used rice instead. It’s just not what I ordered. We couldn’t be bothered with pudding. Plus we were cold and the restaurant smelled of smoke as the chef and waiter had popped out the back for a cigarette and left the back door open. The waiter was quite open about it. Anyway, there are plenty of better Italian restaurants locally. This isn’t even really Italian.

The staff at a Cucina are very attentive and clearly very keen to make a good impression. This is a traditional Italian with a choice of pizza, pasta, fish and meat dishes. The food is good quality, although one of our pasta dishes was not hot when it was served and had to be replaced. The portions are very large so we didn't really want a dessert. Overall I would say that this is a very good restaurant and I would be happy to return. It is a shame that it was not full on a Saturday night as I fear on that basis it might not survive. Also, I think they need to think about not having too large a portion size to encourage diners to have dessert.

Not only do they need to try harder - they need to acknowledge criticisms properly in this forum. I was really hoping that La Cucina would be an improvement on its predecessor Osteria Modigliani, which was rather expensive for its likely clientele. La Cucina is the blandest of bland food. On a Sunday evening we were the only customers until one more couple came in. Sea bass slightly overcooked, vegetables done al dente, no sauce, barely any flavour, no flair. I could buy the ingredients from M&S; and produce something identical at a fraction of the price. I can't believe that the pizza is home made on the premises because it had the flavour and consistency of cook chill or even frozen. Perhaps the most positive thing I can say is that it's reasonable bland food if you can't be bothered to cook for yourself at home. And - a favourite gripe of mine - when you get the bill, it isn't fully itemised. It's handwritten with a total for starters, for mains, for dessert, in a form that you can't check for errors. Unless they adopt fully itemised bills printed by computer I won't be back. I daresay they can improve the menu if they put their minds to it. To be fair, the service was very attentive and very friendly. Maybe the chef should make more of an effort with the menu.

Went here with friends for dinner. My first observation is why does this restaurant have so many reviews when it has only been open since August. The waiters were nice but that was as good as it got. There were only a handful of people in the restaurant but the food took quite a long time to arrive and then it didn't arrive together. When mine eventually did arrive, my lasagne was burnt on top but cold inside , so had to send it back . It arrived back hot but was tasteless and it had vegetables such as peas in it which I don't normally expect to find in a lasagne. I think the veg was from frozen not fresh. I left most of it. I didn't get any real apology for my food being cold. My friends did not really enjoy their food either!

One of us took a spaghetti invernali which was awful - this was just spaghetti, even doubtful that it was cook there, most probably coming from a pack; anyway the spaghetti was put on the plate with the vegetables, some carrots, peas and green beans coming straight from a pack and put on the pasta without any sauces or flavours; one of us took the carbonara with bacon that had spent so long in the freezer that the taste of bacon was not there, the bacon tasted more like rubber, one had a soup with again the same vegetables as for the spaghetti from a pack, the soup had no flavours, I had the ravioli with cheese and spinach, the ravioli tasted like rubber and from a pack, filled with a dollop of orange/pink cream without any flavour- the whole experience was awful and frankly it seemed that the person who did the cooking never went to a cookery school. My husband still never went to cookery classes but he does definitely cook better than what was served in this restaurant. When I came I saw that there were two tables with the sign ‘Reserved’ on - and on arrival we were put at the table by the door (I presume to attract customers) but as the French door was wide opened and I was not too well with a bad allergy we asked to be moved to one of the ‘reserved’ table as the presumed customers had not arrived yet and had the same numbers of plates. They seem to be unwilling to change but after us insisting we were moved. Still the night went on an no one turned up for the reserved tables. I cannot see this place open for too long as what we had served there was a total disgrace.

My wife, son and I chose the Osteria Modigliani for an evening meal to celebrate my wife's birthday. We were welcomed into this small restaurant by Simone, who was attentive to us but unobtrusive throughout the meal. The decor was pleasant and fairly unassuming. We were dining quite early in the evening and so chose our meals from the 2 courses for £11.95 menu. This proved to be excellent value for money. We did look at the a la carte menu, which also seemed tempting, and although a bit more expensive than the menu we chose, also looked to be good value for money. Simone recommended a delicious pecorino white wine to accompany our meals, and, compared to typical restaurant prices, was very reasonably priced. We mentioned in passing that we were celebrating my wife's birthday, and were pleasantly surprised when at the end of our meal the strains of Happy Birthday came over the sound system, followed by a good-sized portion of tiramisu with a large sparkler in the middle. We were also treated to shots of limoncello on the house, and the bill at the end was excellent value for money. Pinner and Hatch End are awash with restaurants, most of which we have eaten at. I would say that the quality of the food and service at the Osteria Modigliani were both as good as we have ever experienced in this area. We will certainly return and would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

Had my birthday dinner in Osteria with friends. The food and atmosphere was amazing! Very friendly and attentive staff. We expected a big bill but that was not the case, the food is very reasonably price and we were pleasantly surprised! Classy restaurant indeed - just what Pinner needs, thanks guys.

I recently visited Osteria Modigliani with my husband after realising it was the sister restaurant of the wonderful Casa Mia in Hatch End. It didn’t disappoint - very similar menu, same prices, same warm welcome - but even closer to home. I’ve subsequently taken my parents there and cannot fault the great service or the lovely food. I cannot recommend it enough - the pasta especially is so superior to any chain and is such good value for money.

We visited last Autumn and really enjoyed our meals, looked forward to a return visit not realising the place had changed hands. The manager was a bit over attentive for me, but some people would love this so each to their own. We shared a very nice bottle of white wine. No on tap beer available- not enough room we were told, so ordered small bottles of beer for some in the party. Two had pasta for a main course and it was really disappointing, where normally pasta in an Italian restaurant would be perfect. It was quite dry, very little sauce or meat and as we said pretty much what we could make at home but English home made rather than what Mama would make! For the price not worth it. I enjoyed my chicken although it tasted a bit as though it had been on a grill straight after a steak. When the morose waiter cleared our plates I said the chicken was nice, he muttered that that made a change so I guess they’d had lots of complaints. I do feel the manager was trying hard to provide a nice atmosphere and perhaps it was just early days and they’ll pick up. I hope so as it’s nice to have an alternative to the many chain restaurants in this area.

We recently visited for a family party. The staff and food were excellent. They moved the tables around for us to sit 16. Everyone enjoyed their food. Franco the manager has the most amazing voice & serenaded the party. The atmosphere was fantastic! It was great to have all of the family around the table eating and drinking together. With a little imagination, we could have been in Italy and saved the carbon footprint to fly there!

We've not been there prior to the new management so cannot compare. The Brushetta starters were a bit of a let down as the topping was not seasoned enough and didn't have the zing you'd expect.

We visited today for some dinner and had high expectations....these came crashing down to earth. The starters were just about passable - my bruscetta was disappointing... bread didn't taste of much, tasteless tomatoes and barely any dressing - not worth the £5 something I paid for it. Then come the mains... The worst pasta I've had in a long while... Ordered fettucine...literally just cream and pasta, which wasn't even cooked properly & was clumped together in places. My friends meals were tasteless too. Definitely won't be planning a second visit any time soon! Had a better meal at Zaza, around the corner, a few weeks ago and expected independent restaurants to be better than chains - clearly not.

We are thoroughly disappointed after visiting this restaurant. The food was overall pool quality and took ages to come, my sisters dish was cold and had to be microwaved. My dish had minced beef in it and I am a vegan. We told the manager who was very dismissive of the situation and was not very apologetic. We would not reccomend this restaurant.

I was very disappointed in this restaurant, which was recommended to me and I visited, last November. My gluten free pasta was uncooked and inedible and the salmon was chewy and blatantly microwaved. However when I went recently, after hearing that it was under new management, with some ladies for lunch it was lovely and I enjoyed the Sea Bass very much.

This restaurant was ran by an exceptional chef, Marco, who left last December (2018). Despite there are still photos of him on TripAdvisor and on the restaurant's website, this place is ran in a very different way and by people with very different values and taste.

I booked a table for 4 people two days prior. When we arrived the manager said there was no booking but then said there was a booking with no name just a question mark. We eventually got seated and were given menus. Ordered wine and food, no problem. We waited some time for our starters to arrive and all seemed good, however the Parma ham and melon arrived with the skin still on the melon. We waited over a hour for our mains to arrive only for my main NOT to arrive. The waiter apologised and 15 minutes later it arrived. I had the liver and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. When I ordered it I was asked how I would like it cooked, medium was my choice but it was served well done. We waited a hell of a time to be asked if we wanted dessert and when we eventually received them they were all very disappointing and two desserts were served with ice cream as opposed to single cream which we had asked for. I tried numerous times to get the bill and eventually had to go to the counter and ask. The manager did say that as we had such a bad service he would not charge for the desserts, however, when the bill eventually arrived it was completely wrong. We had been charged for £15 for "bar" plus a separare figure under wine - we only had two bottles of wine. I queried this point and it was promptly removed. However, the whole bill was a complete mess, items deleted and figures changed.

Osteria Modigliani was recommended by local friends and I was taken there for a birthday treat. It was a Wednesday evening and not very lively (only two other tables occupied), but the service was sluggish and inattentive, bordering on surly. There were also a number of items on the menu that were unavailable.

You do not have to travel far to get a little taste of what Southern Italian cuisine has to offer. The chef at Osteria Modilgliani is from Puglia, one of Italy's best kept secrets in many ways...and the cuisine is no exception. The service and dining experience is good and personable. Enjoy any one of the menu items and be sure to leave room for dessert. Buon appetito!

I brought my colleagues out for a meal after work on Tuesday night in Pinner. They all wanted Italian food which I hoped they hadn’t said. Disappointed so many times by badly done Italian food. But have heard great things about this place, so decided to give it a try other than the usual chains of so called Italian restaurants.

Bravo Modigliani! This classy restaurant did us proud when we turned up (all 31 of us) a day early for a celebration lunch, due to a date mix up. Not only was the food fabubous but served up amazingly quickly. Everyone had something diffferent - a two or three course choice from their lunch menu.

Just had a really lovely Sunday lunch with my family. We chose Pinner as it is half way between both parts of the family on the Met line. I needed to find gluten free options and often the chain restaurants are better at that, but can be noisy and impersonal. Chanced upon Osteria Modigliani on Trip advisor and liked the look of the menu, so took a chance. So pleased that I did.

I hosted a charity fundraising cooking demo and lunch at Osteria Modigliani today. Manager Simon, Chef Marco and all the staff were fabulous throughout, coping with 36 noisy chatty women during the making of fresh pasta, two different sauces and tirimasu cooking demo. The demo was followed by lunch. With so many dietary requirements they handled every ask impeccably. Food was freshly made and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back for another meal.

All in all a fantastic meal extremely reasonably priced for the setting and food, would certainly recommend!

Went for Sunday lunch with another couple. We really enjoyed all 3 courses. Food very tasty and well presented. Portion size good but maybe would have liked slightly more vegetables. This is a lovely restaurant and deserves more customers. We ate from the set lunch menu and thought it was good value especially when we got coffee included. The owner is very friendly and deserves to succeed.
