Cucina Bella was located really close to our hotel and it was the perfect lunch spot. An inviting atmosphere with friendly employees. The lasagna was hearty and very traditional, reminded me of my Nonna’s. I would recommend!

This was our first lunch in France after 2 weeks in Italy … the Italian food here was every bit as good as the food we enjoyed in Italy!

Une très belle découverte ! L’accueil est chaleureux, l’ambiance conviviale et on sent immédiatement l’attention portée aux détails. Les plats sont savoureux, généreux et parfaitement exécutés! Une vraie cuisine italienne comme on aime : simple, authentique et pleine de goût. Mention spéciale pour la qualité des produits et la présentation. On sent la passion derrière chaque assiette. Une adresse à garder précieusement et à recommander sans hésiter. J’y reviendrai avec grand plaisir !
