    I took my daughter and friend her (singing it's praises as I had visited few years Ago and it used…read moreto be great ) however we were dissatisfied with the service and that's only the beginning...first the food Took ages and then they had forgotten a main ingredient in my daughters dish and when we complained they said that it was " ground in the sauce" then they eventually agreed it wasn't in there , but took a good half hour to rectify it so we couldn't all eat together . The food was very expensive with tiny portions! Definitely Not as good as it used to be ! I was embarrassed to have recommended it! Plus they charged my Visa card twice which I found out when l later checked bank statement and after a long drawn out investigation they refunded me . No offer of compensation or apology given . I don't recommend it anymore ! Derby seems to suck the life out of places!

    I found Cucina on a website that I shall remain nameless :P as it had not previously been listed on…read moreYelp. Shocking, I know. I was in town for business and in my previous visits to Derby had struggled to find anything particularity tasty or anywhere offering good value for money. When Cucina came on to my radar I decided to give it a shot. Although it's situated on what looks like a dodgy back street in the city centre, I would urge you to not let this put you off. The restaurant itself is contemporary, fresh and looks recently refurbished. We were hungry that evening so decided to go early. Despite the fact we were the first customers in the door we were warmly greeted and made to feel at home. I had a quick perusal of the menu and started salivating instantly. Cucina isn't your bog standard Italian restaurant, they have some really classy and rustic dishes on offer, and something different to your bog standard Spag Bol effort. I opted for the pasta e fagioli to start (an orzo pasta and canellini bean soup) followed by the aubergine parcels as a main. Everything just tasted incredible. Really authentic flavours, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I must say, my Italian granny would be struggling to compete with these guys. Incredibly again were the fantastic prices. We paid under £34 for two HUGE Peroni's, 2 starters and 2 mains. Astounding value! A true diamond in the rough and an essential place to dine if in Derby. Grazie!

    This wonderful Italian is a small family run business that has gone from strength to strength in…read morethe few years it has been open. Inside it seats around 30 and is decorated in a modern style that still manages to be warm and welcoming. We visited recently for a meal for 4 on a Friday evening. The restaurant was nearly full. All our starters and mains were served in a timely manner and were delicious. I ordered the scallops and duck and both were brilliant. This is not a mega cheap place but it is worth the money charged. We spent around £35 per head with drinks. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

    What a gem hidden away - After hearing really good reviews & feedback from friends that have…read morevisited this restaurant, we decided to pay a visit a couple of weeks ago and were certainly not disappointed. It doesn't look much from the outside but from the moment you go in, you are made to feel at home. A clean modern restaurant. All our food was served promptly, and was devoured just as promptly - all excellent. I have visited many "Italian" Restaurants both in Italy & here in the UK and I have to say this is certainly in my top ten! Good food made from quality ingredients, with excellent service is never cheap (if cheap is what you want, there are many pub restaurants to choose from) La Nonna is reasonably priced for the standard of food & service you receive, you can pay a lot more elsewhere for a lot less! Well worth a visit
