I like Cucina and have visisted on numerous occastions. Its an indoor restaurant with no windows which would be my only gripe. Food and service are both great.

I didn't really expect to like it too much, but I loved my ravioli, and my husband really enjoyed his pizza. The house wine was nice, too. Plus, there are coupons in the Entertainment book.

Nice interiors, comfortable seating and some zippy staff. Nice that the manager was present throughout our meal and we felt that whatever we needed was obtainable. Food however, was only average. Pizza's lacked flavor and the generally dishes felt a little plastic. I might be wrong, but was surprised that my partner received packet spaghetti.....quality was average and the pesto... More

We went in there thinking that this is the best Italian restaurant in Qatar, it turned out to be good, but not the best. Everything was great, except the food which in my mind wasn't as expected, we tried many great Italian restaurants around the world, we couldn't feel the Italian taste in this one. I recommend it, but you... More

This is our favourite Italian restaurant in Doha. Great staff and food! Setting at dinner is a little dark though. The only negative poin in my opinion.

Wonderful staff, that remember your name and drink preference. The food is wonderful, but if you want something that is not on the menu the chef can whip something up in a flash that is excellent. They really cater to your likes and if they don't have what you want in the restaurant, they will find it somewhere in the... More

I have had mixed experiences in this restaurant. When I first went in over a year ago, it was very good. Subsequent visits seemed to go down hill, (from a food point of view that is). Service has always been very good. Last nights visit (25/4/13) was excellent. I was very specific on how I wanted my food. (Maybe that's... More

This is our place to go to for a warm and cozy dinner. The staff are friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. The soups and pastas taste wonderful when you are not feeling great. Families seem to enjoy it, as well as singles. Just a comfortable place to go where everything is tasty.
