AR Cucina - Culver City

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant during their happy hour, where drinks are half off at the bar. The food was reasonably priced and I can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu.

Excellent but pricey Italian food, and great cocktails. The tagliatelle is my favorite, and make sure to stay for dessert! (Also, the happy hour makes the quality-to-price ratio go way up, if you can make it that early.

I cannot believe I am just now getting around to writing this review! I visit this restaurant after work at least once a week and each time I am impressed by the service, drinks, and food. Marley, Sarah, Jade, Felix, and Sienna are all wonderful and personable. The manager is friendly and always takes the time to greet me. You must try their cocktails, especially the Sofia Loren with the CBD add on - it is a must! They also have a great selection of wines, with half-off bottles on Tuesdays which is a fantastic deal. My favorite dish is the Caccio e Pepe, and their lasagna is unlike anything I've ever tasted before - it is so rich that I recommend sharing. And don't even get me started on their brunch, the pancakes and French toast are amazing. They recently started serving lunch and I had to give it a try - the chicken sandwich and chicken meatballs were both delicious. The service and food were quick, which is perfect for those who work in the area.

The food was good with the exception for one plate the butternut squash.. otherwise 5 stars for service, ambience and drinks

AR Cucina was amazing! The service was outstanding. Marley, the manager, and our waitress were both so friendly and helpful throughout our meal. We had a family-style dinner and pre-selected our menu, which added to the overall experience. We started with water and wine, followed by warm rosemary bread and a chopped salad with burrata cheese. I highly recommend it! For our main course, we had a choice of three pastas: vodka sauce, pesto sauce, and meat sauce, each one delicious in its own way. Dessert options were tiramisu or sorbet, and the salted caramel sorbet was a hit. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal in Culver City!
