Cuccia's - BLAIRSDEN-GRAEAGLE

The food, service and setting is simply wonderful. We enjoyed all that we ordered. The bread with blue cheese and baked garlic is to die for! Will be back again. Definitely a popular place, reservations are truly needed. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Second disappointing dinner in a row. Cuccia's is clearly understaffed and under trained. Service was slow to nonexistent. Had to remind wait staff that we order wine and what our dinner order was as they only delivered half of it. Took another 20 minutes to complete the order. Our waitress was nonexistent. The whole dinner was a complete disaster. I am afraid that Gina has added more tables then her kitchen and staff can handle in a professional manner. Graeagle needs another restaurant.

OMG! How is it possible to have such a delicious meal from start to finish, friendly, fast and attentive service and great ambience in such an out of the way location? The four of us had an early 5:00 reservation and sat out on the screened porch, so we could enjoy the view of the meadows and mountains in the distance. I would recommend reserving early because the restaurant was packed an hour later. For starters the garlic dip and bread is a must have! Imagine dipping fresh baked bread in a concoction of whole roasted cloves of sweet garlic smothered in a warm gooey blue cheese and olive oil mixture heaven! I ordered the butternut squash in a creamy white wine sauce with basil and roasted cherry tomatoes minus the prosciutto because I am a vegetarian. The butternut squash was not too sweet and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Entrees include a choice of soup or salad. The waitress assured me the red pepper soup was completely vegetarian. It was perfectly seasoned and bowl licking good. I rarely order dessert especially after such hefty servings but I couldn't resist sharing a light, but moist, lemon cake with lemon whipped cream frosting. The four of us are from the Bay Area and have had our share of good Italian food, but we all agreed this meal was superb. We decided we will return to the area next year and make a beeline to Cuccia's. Bravo Cuccia!
