La Cucina Italiana–means “The Italian Kitchen”–sits on a quiet area of Taipa Village, close to Taipa’s unit of Kiang Wu Hospital, Litoral Taipa and some other eateries and coffeeshops. La Cucina Italiana has a cute decoration and vibe, ideal for couples looking for a romantic dinner but also families with kids wanting to share and try out different trattoria-like Italian dishes served here.
Specialties here include Italian bread with more than 10 different combinations–mozzarella and parma ham, roasted beef and lettuce, smoked salmon and butter, amongst others–cold salads like caprese, or Italian cold cuts and cheese platters, carpaccios and also melon with parma ham, a traditional delicacy in this European country. They’re also keen on making traditional pizzas and different kinds of pasta–vegetarian and vegan options available. Beef tenderloin, tripes stew with vegetables, lamb with mustard sauce and lamb cutlets in Milanese style are some of their meat options.
La Cucina Italiana also has a wide list of white and red wines, as well as cocktails and Italian spirits worth trying. Tiramisu, panna cotta, chocolate mousse are some of their signature desserts as well.
