La Cucina Italiana - Murfreesboro: Authentic Italian Cuisine with Fresh Pasta & Homemade Bread

If you aren't in a rush, this is the place to eat dinner! Our waitress was also the bartender. Margarita was a 6/10. One waitress/bar tender for the entire place. One food runner. Bread was amazing. Salads were good (Caesar salad [could have used extra dressing] 7.5/10, salad with Italian 7/10). Chicken parm, 10/10. Yummm. Chicken Involtino, 10/10. Amazing. One of best entrees I've ever had. Hidden gem. If you have time and can be patient, the entrees are the BEST. Run here. So good.

Food is pretty good here, we stopped in for something new and were happy with our food. My burger was delicious and my wife had a shrimp dish that looked good too. I'll post the names of the dishes in the captions. We will be back again to try other plates.

Pleasantly surprised at this unplanned stop after we had a desire for Italian food. The house made complimentary bread was super tasty and ooozed Italian flavor! I got the Pasta Pescatori. The seafood taste popped through nicely and the pleasantly spicy sauce did not overpower. The pasta tasted homemade (I did not ask) and supported the dish. My wife ordered the same and thoroughly enjoyed hers. My son had the Beef Bolognese. I smuggled a taste and found it to be one of the better ones I've ever tried. Our server was attentive and pleasant. I don't get into Murfreesboro often, but I will be sure to hit up La Cuciana Italian when I do.

We enjoyed our visit. The inside is a little bare boned but thats okay. And the wait was a little long but the food was fresh. Everything was delicious but I wouldn't say we were particularly blown away. We wouldn't mind coming back for some casual good food. Can never go wrong with fresh yummy Italian! Pictured is the bread, mozzarella sticks, empanadas, pasta gorgonzola, and the pasta pescatori.

What a gem. So glad we found this staff friendly Italian restaurant. Excellent menu with a good variety. And reasonably priced items. Pasta a la vodka was delizioso !! As was the beef short rib dish !! And the homemade tiramisu!! Fantastic!

Great Italian food. I had the Chicken Parmesan and my friend had Chicken Toscano. Our food was made fresh and included delicious freshly baked bread. The dishes were so tasty and presented beautifully. Elizabeth (our server) was very friendly and attentive. She also took time to answer several questions regarding the menu. In addition to the delicious food the atmosphere and service was great. We went on a Friday evening and there was even some live entertainment. I will definitely be going back!

I went to this place to try something new and close to where I was. This is in a plaza with other businesses, so there is parking available and it's free. I arrived very close to their closing, but they were so kind! Adam was. He assured me it was fine to order. I ordered the classic alfredo, a cubano, and another pasta dish that I don't recall the name of. The second pasta dish had cheese, peas, caramelized onions, and a spiral pasta. That was the one I ate. It was good! I would return and I would order that again. All of the food seemed cooked to order. The order comes with moist pieces of bread. It was decent, but I was having pasta so I only had a bite. I was informed the alfredo needed seasoning and we didn't care for the cubano the way it's prepared here. I'm very appreciative of your time and patience. THANK YOU for serving us. We will return earlier than close to order again.

La Cucina Italiana was great place to eat. The bartender was a phenomenal waitress that answered all our questions. Mozzarella sticks were very crispy. The chicken Milanese was crisp and flavorful. The cavatappi al forno cremoso was creamy with burst of onion and bacon flavors. Think of a quiet atmosphere with just the right lighting to have a romantic dinner
