Cuckoo Trattoria And Pizzeria - Coombs

I love love love this place! The food is fantastic. The service is amazing. And that patio... the best.

The best spot for a date night in the Qualicum area! We absolutely love their Caesar salad and the gluten-free All Cheese Bianca pizza. Make sure to order the pizza gluten-free—you won’t regret it!

Oh wow! The setting was incredibly romantic and beautiful—definitely ask to sit outside if it’s a lovely summer day. The service was super friendly and attentive. And the food? It was absolutely amazing. I’m not usually a fan of salads, but the spinach salad was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The soup of the day, which I believe was chorizo sausage with kale and other vegetables, was also very flavorful. We devoured the scallops before I could snap any pictures (sorry about that!). I would definitely return the next time we visit the island.

We started with some bread, and I have to say, I’m not sure what was in the brown bread, but it had a wonderful nutty aroma and a nice chewy texture. Paired with the salsa, it was incredibly refreshing, especially in the warm weather. For my main dish, I ordered the Risotto Cinque Terre ($25), which was a tomato-based seafood risotto. The ingredients were super fresh and generously scattered throughout the dish, creating a beautiful medley of flavors. We also shared the Verde pizza ($18.50), topped with chicken, goat cheese, mozzarella, fresh basil pesto, arugula, and a balsamic reduction. It was simply amazing! The mozzarella was delightfully stretchy, the pesto aromatic, and the balsamic reduction balanced the creaminess of the goat cheese perfectly. The pizza crust was both crispy and chewy, and we were both blown away by how wonderfully everything came together. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The staff were attentive and helpful, even with the restaurant being so busy! I’m so glad we finally got the opportunity to dine in!

Great Italian restaurant behind a very worth stopping at road side market world market, toy store, nursery, taco stand) in Coombs. Mother's Day, and they're handling the crush with perfect composure. Gracie was our main staff member, tho the whole staff works together in an easy flow.
