Cucina Rustica - Morganton

Service was exceptional and the food was great, especially the Ziki salad and Halibut escape. The building is somewhat worn out, but this has not distracted from the surroundings that are rustic and cozy. The windows have beautiful wooden blinds to cover the lack of exterior views.

Cucina Rustica was a fantastic restaurant and a great first night dinner during a family girls trip to Morganton. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Definitely make a reservation in advance! Special thank you to Mandy and Kaitlyn for a wonderful experience.

Amazing food, service, ambiance, ect? A little hole in the wall, family owned business! We stopped here after my google search for best restaurants in Blue Ridge and this is definitely one of them! We almost didn?t get a table because they were all booked for the day, so we walked out and went next door to the pizza restaurant and when we sat down the owner ran in there right before we ordered and told us they made it work and set up a table for us so we headed right back! The server was awesome and very knowledgeable with everything on the menu, food was fantastic and flavorful. We loved everything that she recommend! The owner kept stopping by to make sure everything was good. Overall we had a great experience and meal. Will be back for sure!

Absolutely delicious. My husband said that it was the best pigs he ever had. The berry cook salad was perhaps the best salad I've ever eaten. Very conscious of the celiac preparation / gluten free prep. I recommend this restaurant and we'll be back.

The best Italian food I ever had. It doesn't describe it wonderfully. Service is excellent, knowledgeable, but not intrusive.
