Our favorite restaurant is still providing great service and the same delicious menu during the shelter at home weeks! We have always brought our family and friends here to enjoy this “gem†of a restaurant downtown! Our Algonquin Rotary Club members have pledged to order dinners every Thursday from as many Algonquin restaurants as long as this lasts, beginning with the downtown!Don’t forget to leave a tip!!ðŸ‘

Had dinner here over the weekend. Food was good, portions were large, but service was slow. We only had salads and the main courses, and took about tow hours, were not even offered desserts.

This was our first time at Cucina Bella and it certainly will not be our last! Everything from the host staff, to the wait staff, as well as, the food and drink quality was amazing. We had a huge bag of food to take home - large portion sizes! Truly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had in the area. Even though the restaurant was packed on a beautiful, autumn Thursday night, it felt like home. Highly recommend the seasonal drinks and our waitress, Rachel! She was one of the kindest, attentive, and helpful waitresses we've ever had. Try this gem - you will not be disappointed!!

Oh my gosh!! Fabulous! You can choose your own pasta, sauce & add ons. I had linguini marinara with sausage, capers & olives. Sooo good! My man had ricotta capetelli with pink sauce which he LOVED. Very clean, authentic Italian cooking. Dont let the construction in the area deter you - restaurant is easily accessible. Buon appetito!

We like a lot going out. Last night we visited this fine place which friends told us about. We enjoyed a beautiful time there with excellent meal and an efficient stuff and a talented chef. We added this place in our list and we shall no doubt visit again soon. Highly recommended.

Maybe serving food and drinks OVER a tiny baby in a baby seat isn't a good idea! I was shocked that multiple servers did this and when I asked them not to do it it was as if I offended them. Too bad. Learn some manners, safety, and decency.

Went here for my mother's birthday. I ordered the 8oz filet mignon, and it was absolutely amazing, as were the fries that I substituted in place of the potatoes that came with it. Service was also prompt, and our food came quickly.
Christina Blezien
Ordered for a family of four and can I say it was probably the best experience during this whole COVID-19. The food was amazing, they gave big portions. Thank you for not being like the rest of the restaurants that we have ordered from and give us half the portion. I will be definitely ordering again soon.
Thomas Schael
Absolutely amazing meal! My wife has a food allergy that would normally mean she can't eat at an Italian restaurant. The manager, chef and waitress were all fantastic and worked with her to create a wonderful meal. The service and food are too notch.

Great service, great food, large portions. Very reasonable pricing.
Q Hernandez
This place is great! Affordable prices, big dishes and the staff members are consistently very friendly.
Margot Brown
Good service. Nice people. Decent prices. Noisy when busy. Huge portions of the pasta but not so much the other ingredients that go with.
Jorge Delgado
I'm in love with this place. Great service, excellent food, and the bread...the bread! Warm fluffy goodness when you need it most is everything!
Ramon Ceal
Good food. Great slots. Cool bar
Rob Clark
The food and atmosphere here is amazing. The staff goes out of their way to ensure you are happy with your order. Everything on the menu is outstanding. The staff work hard and are warm and polite. I highly recommend this place if you like good Italian food!
Emilia Wloch
What a great Italian restaurant! I just wish we tried them sooner given that we've lived in Algonquin for 7 years now... we always chose Biaggis, but this restaurant offers huge, delicious portions, the servers there are super nice (Rachel), they're kid-friendly and the list just goes on! I love the fact that the restaurant is in newly renovated downtown Algonquin, after your meal you can go for a very nice walk on Main Street:) we highly recommend!
Ted Wachholz
Very neat building in the heart of downtown Algonquin. Everything we were served was amazing - delicious, hot, with ample portions. I had the lasagna.
Evan Burrows
Excellent food! Had the pork osso bucco and it was amazing, with more than enough for a doggie bag. The wine selection was smaller than I expected, but we still found a favorite red blend.The waitstaff and service were great, despite it being a busy Friday night.
Matt Groters
The food was very delicious. Up to standards for a quality Italian style meal. We've been to several quality Italian shops in the city this one's right up there. Service was great too. Mark from the wait staff was helpful, funny and jovial. Highly recommend!
Rich C.

Food was very good. Service was good. Accommodates gluten free. Located in a beautiful little downtown area of Algonquin. Two blocks from Victorian Rose Garden B&B. Also very nice experience.

Randy TV
Service has very good. The food Tasted very good also would return
Sherry Brunton
Great place, love the atmosphere. We exceptionally loud though. Not a large menu to begin with, dietary restrictions of no dairy makes it very slim on options.
Tyler Tomczak
Great service and amazing food! Best cheesecake I've ever had and I've had a lot

Tony Maxie
Tasty as usual. Ordered pans of egg plant parmesan, sausage & peppers and fried calamari to complement Christmas dinner. Food was great and enjoyed by our entire family. Thanks Cucina Bella!
ben douglass
Great service, great food, nice atmosphere. (Poor lighting and loud). Overall, worth going.
Tania Wolansky
This was my third time at Cucina Bella and each visit has been consistently great. The service is always excellent, and the food is delicious. The portions are huge, so definitely plan on taking home leftovers. We had a 5:30 reservation on a Sunday night and were seated right away. The place was pretty packed considering how 'early' it was. The only issue this time, and it has nothing to do with the restaurant - the construction on Main St makes it challenging to get to the restaurant.
Doug Sanders
Service was a little slow considering they went busy yet. But the food made up for it. The Veal Napoleon is out of this world.
Nicole Lewis
Cucina Bella is a solid dinner out. Their sauce is amazing and available for purchase. Favorites include the eggplant parmesan and fish special, all always served with a side pasta. Perfect for date night, special occasions, family dinner, or book an event in the private party room. Gorgeous restaurant in a walkable downtown.
Lori Hutton
Food is excellent here and portion sizes are huge. We took home plenty of leftovers. Only "complaint" is the space is loud and it can be hard to talk with dinner companions when the restaurant is busy, as it deservedly is. Been here several times now and have never been disappointed.
