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!

It offers a selection of Mexican and Italian foods, all freshly prepared and extremely reasonably priced. I had a thin crust pizza £5 plus 50p per topping and it was excellent. The restaurant was very cosy and quaint and reminded me of being on holiday for some reason! The waitress was very friendly and introduced herself when we arrived giving a nice personal touch to the evening. The service was also very good with the food arriving in good time. I would heartily recommend Nico's and I will certainly be frequenting quite regularly i think.

Lovely little eating establishment…read more Eaten here a number of times, and never been disappointed. The food is good and always freshly prepared. Occasionally it's been a wait when busy, but not always if you get your order in quick enough. It's definitely a cosy little place, but then again even when busy and kept waiting this place has a wonderful atmosphere and the conversation & time with dining guests has flown by, and before you know it, a lovely evening of good food, fine wine and interesting conversation has occurred... A special mention must go to the staff, both serving/waiting and cooking, as I've always been made to feel welcomed and appreciated - keep up the excellent work, you do amazing things! Highly recommended.

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.

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
