La Cucina was recommended in a neighborhood newsletter so I called and made reservations a few…read moremonths ago. My husband and I went this evening and everything was incredible. Our server was wonderful and made great recommendations although she noted that you cannot go wrong and I believe her. We started with Caprese salad and bread, and then I got lasagna and he got the truffle ravioli, all phenomenal. For dessert my husband got to fulfill a lifetime dream by saying "we'll take one of everything" ordering one of every dessert, only three are pictured because the panna cotta came out first, a dessert appetizer if you will, and we polished it off before the other three arrived. We did bring wine (they do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own and there's a corking fee per person) but we forgot it in the car and both of us agreed we're glad we did because the food was so good all on its own. Note: you need a reservation and it is cash only.

My friend and I took a little road trip to La Cucina after a friend recommended it for the…read moredelicious food. Overall, the experience was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd drive out of the way for again. If I lived closer, I'd definitely give it another try. We started with sweet tea and bread. The bread with dipping sauce was tasty and a nice start. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and my friend had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Unfortunately, both entrées were pretty bland. My chicken lacked flavor, and I ended up leaving most of it along with half the noodles. My friend only ate one meatball and passed on the rest. The highlight of the entire meal was the Crème Brûlée -- absolutely amazing! If you go, I highly recommend ordering dessert and maybe trying a different entrée than we did. A friend had suggested the lasagna, and I wish I had taken that advice. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful country setting, and the interior feels warm and inviting. With a few tweaks to the entrées, I think this place could really shine.

It was a little busy, but they had lots of room in the restaurant and everyone was very kind and friendly. I had a Greek salad and my wife had a Stromboli with sausage, onions and peppers. Food was decent for what it was nothing that would blow your socks off, but a good meal. We would go back when we are in town again.

There's a few different options of salads but I got the Greek and it tasted just how it looks. I was pleasantly surprised with the eggplant parm. The portion was big (lasted me 2-3 meals) and was seasoned well. I would get this again.

What can I say? This is as authentic Italian as you'll find almost anywhere in the U.S. outside of…read morereal Italian neighborhoods. I'd give it a 4.8 or 4.9 -- a perfect 5 is basically unobtainable in my book. Ristorante DellaSantina sits on the outskirts of Sevierville / Pigeon Forge, sort of behind Hollywood, perched on a small hillside along the road. It's unassuming. You could drive right past it. The interior is quaint and tastefully done -- simple and clean, the way an Italian restaurant should look. Our host was excellent. The place was a little backed up because some tables were still sitting and talking long after they finished dinner. Please be considerate of people waiting: take the conversation to the bar or head out so the next table can sit. Once we were seated, service moved fast. The staff zipped around with purpose. Appetizers came out quickly, and the entrees were virtually right behind them. The longest wait was the fresh-cut fries -- and they were shockingly worth it. The food is outstanding. Italian cooking varies by city and region, so flavor profiles differ. We started with a salad and the meatballs (get the meatballs). We both ordered chicken Parmesan. My wife had Bolognese on the pasta and tomato-basil on the chicken; I had Bolognese on both. Coming from a heavily Italian area for 60+ years, I've eaten a lot of home-cooked and restaurant Italian. These sauces were perfect to me -- barely acidic, well balanced with herbs, not the sweet style some people prefer. They walk a very fine line. Everything tasted fresh. No commercial junk. Salad was excellent with a great Italian dressing. The meatballs are as good as you'll likely ever get in a restaurant -- maybe even at home. The hand-cut fries were a huge pile (had to be three potatoes) with a slight exterior crisp and an interior like butter. The chicken Parmesan was the best version I've had in 40+ years. My wife loved hers too, even though she usually prefers a slightly sweeter Bolognese. Both plates came with rigatoni cooked al dente. No dessert at the table -- we were already exploding before we finished. If you're traveling, split a plate or you'll be packing leftovers into a hotel mini-fridge. We did grab two custom ice creams from their pizzeria next door and ate them later at the hotel. OMG -- awesome. Same building: thin crust and Chicago-style pizza. We recommend this restaurant with no hesitation. It will likely be the best Italian meal you've had.

The dinner napkins are laundered and a very strong smelling laundry detergent so that when you put it up to your face it was overpowering.

All we saw was what appeared to be a thin crust type, but they looked good. I had Lasagna, it was good, and very hot with a generous amount of gravy. My wife had Ravioli, meatballs and a loaf of bread was served. This fell short of our expectations however, as it was all served cold. We did bring this to the attention of the server, and she offered to take it all back to heat it up it. However, my wife is one who can eat cold food out of a can, so she toughed it out. Besides, to properly warm it up would take some time and I would have finished eating before she started. We were given a 25% discount however, which was appreciated. I appreciate the owners responding and I am confident that this was just a mishap and not a reflection of their normal operation.
