La Cucina - Havre de Grace

Don't bother.For one, they're really aggressive about their credit card charges, which is really inconvenient when you have to pay an extra 4% for using a card. Most restaurants simply add it into food costs, and with how expensive the menu already is, I would have expected it to be. (Not to mention that having worked in a restaurant for a decade, I know as of now, credit card companies only charge around 3.2-3.3%)The food was mediocre at best, unappetizing at worst. Their cheesy garlic bread was just a stale, store bought sub roll with cheese on it and no garlic, and it took exactly 28 minutes to make. Their meatballs were more meatloaf in the shape of a ball, and had the strangest chewy, spongey texture, with no umami at all, at the horrific price of $10 for 3.We also got a stromboli, but the cheese was incredibly rubbery. My girlfriend choked on it a couple bites in. The dough was also bitter, so they likely overproofed it.The waiters also liked to stack plates with food ON IT on top of each other when bringing it to the table. Very unhygienic and made my lose my appetite. They could have easily used a tray to bring those plates or just made multiple trips. The waitress also took 20+ minutes to bring us our check and boxes, as we just wanted to leave after all that.Tldr, not worth the money, food is mid.

This is a truly authentic Italian experience. Our entire table loved everything we had. The vodka sauce is amazing. They also had a secret recipe sauce on the gnocchi that was excellent. It was red sauce and named after the matriarch of the restaurant.I will visit this again if I 'm ever back in the area.

Our favorite local place to eat, hands down. Great food, quick/down to earth service. My husband and I are gf and have so many options to choose from. Shout out to our server Rosanna for being amazing.

First time visiting, food was OUTSTANDING ! Plentiful servings and piping hot. We had sausage and peppers and pomodoro, delicious! Our server was realy great too. We will be back ...often!

Musician, ex military (NAVY) came in wearing NAVY issue jacket from out of town. Wouldn't let me sit at a table to eat a slice of pizza. So I left without the pizza. Super rude.
