    Lasagna
    Dawn W.

    Still a great experience and still has that amazing sauce! Today I tried the manicotti and it was wonderful! I also tried a side of meatballs, but not as impressed. I just may be a snob with meatballs, but these made me feel like store bought and I wouldn't order again, but at least that sauce is on them that I really enjoy. Our server was nice, but she was all over the place taking care of everyone. We didn't have any problems or anything. Music was good at a nice level and comfortable temperature.

    Everything went fantastic. I had one of the best meals ever. The service was great and had some good laughs with waitress. The place was spotless inside and smelled very clean. Would highly recommend what I got.

    Osso bucco
    Shan T.

    Usually it's hard to know where to start with a review, but Olive Cove really does Osso Bucco well. Perfectly tender and seasoned, there's no doubt this will please any carnivore. Picked the Rosato and it was divine! The flavor marries well to the pork. No need to add anything! Another at the table ordered it with the Alfredo. Delicious! Both plates had leftovers for the next day. Teen ordered the Linguini Marsala and quite liked their meal. Plenty for noshing on tomorrow. The Chicken Parmesan was classically prepared and wonderfully dressed. Everything was received with great satisfaction. The bread! Do not skip the garlic butter with it. This carboholic was very enthused with the unlimited refills. As to the service, I have to specify that this particular visit was on Mother's Day and there were some issues prior to our arrival that caused a chain reaction. With a cook out and a rush for the holiday, there was a temporary closing that had us wait about 45 minutes to be allowed in for seating. The closure was understandable and none of us were bothered. In fact, all of us said it was worth the wait! Our server was super on it, despite the place filling up pretty much instantaneously upon the doors opening again. The food came out quickly and to eager mouths. This place was hopping and deserves the stars for how well they handled the rushes. On other visits, the wait times were respectable. There is a large parking lot, with wheelchair access in the front of the plaza. This restaurant is romantic for dates and an upgrade for groups. Drink specials are abundant and generous.

    Chicken Parmigian

    This place used to be great. They had a huge Stromboli and a large menu. They narrowed it down to a 1 page menu. Usually that means everything on the menu will be spectacular. This is not the case here. The bread: sliced half way through. The part that was sliced was soft but the bottom was hard and crunchy. It was served with garlic butter that was more salt than garlic. If you want a salad with your meal you pay extra for it. It was the highlight of the meal. Crisp lettuce, large slices of cheese and a Ceasar dressing that must be made in house. It was very good. I had chicken parmesan. It came with a side of spaghetti. The chicken was really hot when it was served, burn your pallet hot. Food is not cooked this hot so i am thinking maybe it was microwaved. The breading had no spices. The sauce was just crushed tomatoes. Not cooked down to thicken, no spice, just tomatoes and juice. Our server was pretty OK. I think she is the only reason for 2 stars. She was friendly and knowledgeable but I got the idea she isn't happy with the food either. This place has gone way down hill.

    The waitress was great, the food hot. The Ceasars salad was okay - hard to mess it up. The ravioli was so bland, the sauce was so flavorless, I added salt and pepper to give it some flavor. The meat inside of the ravioli was also bland. The place is pretty, and played calming music. I am super sad that they don't do the pizza anymore. That was always a hit.

    Shrimp Alfredo
    Dawn W.

    The service was good, but the food was just ok. Not bad, but not great. It wasn't anything to rave about and was kind of bland and lacking seasoning. It's been around 2-3 years since we'd been here and it's definitely not as good as we remembered. We could have cooked much better at home.

    Trashed lasagna
    Carla M.

    We ordered two lasagna meals tonight to go. My boyfriend put them in the front seat of his truck and drove them home. As soon as he got home and started inside, the bottom of the bag gave way and both meals hit the pavement. Both containers of lasagna hit the ground. I called and spoke to a manager by the name of Zack. I wanted him to know that either someone had set the bag in something wet or maybe he had a stash of bags that wasn't any good. He was rude and condescending, and even went as far as to tell me that it was my fault that I lost my $44 dinner. It is now sitting in the parking lot at my apartment. Thanks to the way this manager handled the situation. I will never go back to this restaurant again.

    Osso Bucco
    Bill N.

    After catching a movie nearby it was time for some dinner. My wife typically will navigate while I pilot. She asked," how about Italian?" I was on board as long as it wasn't Olive Garden. As she began to utter her words, I heard olive, and braced for the next word. She then said Cove, I was game. As we pulled up, I know that I had looked at this place while in the area previously. Today was the trial of the many times I've driven by. Walking it we were greeted swiftly and seated equally as fast. This a small place which I was excited about, very pleasant ambiance and attention to detail. We reviewed the menu and the specials that were presented. I have seen Osso Bucco previously on many cooking shows but never ventured into it. Today was that day. My bride also ordered another special dish with chicken. We enjoyed an appetizer before being served that monster meal. See the picture of this dish. This is one of those dishes where you rethink previous choices you have made. Diving into this dish was intimidating until the first bite came in contact with the taste buds. It was a party in my mouth. I highly recommend this place, looking forward to our next visit.

    Raw shrimp

    The sauces are amazing but the food poisoning from being served raw shrimp isn't worth it. I couldn't see it with the sauce last night but this morning it separated. We waited an additional 25 minutes after we were finished eating to get our bill. There wasn't anyone we could flag down because our waitress was in the back.

    Do they serve a margherita pizza with fresh roma tomatoes and fresh basil and garlic? To me that is a great test of a good pizza restaurant.

    Not sure we always get full Italian fare.

    Wonderful experience. First of all the setting is charming. We were seated upstairs. Pleasant…read moreartwork on the walls, tables are not close together, soft music playing and, comfortable chairs. The 4 of us could actually carry on a conversation without shouting. Our server Kaylee was engaging and well informed about the menu items and the wine list. When my friend was unsure of which of two wines to choose, she offered a sample of each. Nice touch. We split the Burrata and Fig appetizer and it was delicious. Our friends chose the Polpetta con Polenta and it was equally as delicious. The wines by the glass were fairly priced and there were plenty of choices. My main was the Braised Beef Short Rib over mushroom ravioli. Big portion and incredible flavors. My wife had the Gnocchi al Pesto and was also very pleased. Like the wine, the entrees were fairly priced.We split a piece of the Limoncello cake which was light and flavorful. The chef here doesn't have an Italian last name but sure the heck knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Absolutely no complaints.

    First time here at Cucina South and it has that relaxed ambiance for some really good Italian food…read moreand ordered a Peroni Lager beer with garlic bread and olives for the Antipasti. Main course was the Polpetta meatball specialty with the creamy sauce and the Linguine and Clams and they were all very tasty. I just added a bit of cheese and pepper to add more flavor to my liking. The Tiramisu for dessert was quite delicious and we are glad to try it. Thank you Brittany, our awesome server for being so hospitable during our visit and to the rest of the staff for accomodating us as we did not even have a reservation.
