She assisted not only with food selectio, but quantity. She made the preplanning so easy. On the day of the event the team are well prepared and set up is exactly as discussed.

They are professional and blend into the background . At the end of the event they package leftovers , put them in the kitchen area and clean up. They do all of this effortlessly. The food is outstanding, I have had many different selections and have not been disappointed. I have used them for not only catered event, but also for work lunches .

The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!

Dinner with the family was nice; the waiter spilled my drink all over my lap. Not a big deal, I laughed it off and he gave us a discount on our bill, which wasn't necessary. Lunch with the girls was also nice. I had soup and a salad. One of my friends ordered soup and salad, her soup was very, very salty so our waitress offered to bring her a different soup. Both times I dined at Biaggi's it was clean and not too loud.

Visted Woodfire after a business colleague recommend the restaurant…read more My wife and another couple made dinner reservations on 1/17/26, for 6 PM. We arrived promptly at 5:50 PM and were told by the hostess that our table would be ready shortly. I will say the restaurant was packed with families enjoying dinner. We were seated at approximately 6:20 PM when multiple tables opened up. While waiting for our table I noticed the various dishes being served to the tables in my viewing area. They smelled amazing and appeared to have very generous portions (leftovers). We were seated and our waitress Dalena M, quickly came to our table for our adult beverage selection. I ordered a Cozy Sweater beer, which was too light of a beer for my liking. Our friends ordered a red glass of wine and a lemon martini. For our appetizers we ordered Grilled Octopus, which was cooked to perfection. For our main entrees, I ordered a Fields of wheat chicken & bacon Ranch pizza & my wife ordered a Margherita pizza. Again, both pizzas were cooked to perfection. I was a bit jealous as I also have a woodfired pizza oven from Italy in my backyard, but unfortunately mine dough never tastes this delicious. For dessert my wife ordered Affogato (which is he go-to dessert) which was delicious. I ordered a coffee and strawberry cheesecake. The coffee was very good, and the cheesecake was very creamy and not dry. We are planning on returning with our adult children and their spouses.

Yesterday evening, May 9, 2026, my girlfriend and I ate at this restaurant. We had a 7:30…read morereservation at one of the high-top tables near the bar. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before someone brought us bread and asked for our drink order. About 30 minutes later, no one had come back to take our food order, so I had to go up to the host stand and ask if someone could come over to help us. When our order was finally taken, my girlfriend ordered pasta and I ordered the bone-in chicken Vesuvio. The waiter did not write down the order, and the ticket was entered incorrectly as boneless chicken Vesuvio. When our food finally came out around 8:45 to 9:00, the owner brought it to the table. I told him that I had ordered the bone-in chicken Vesuvio, but he said the ticket said boneless and that remaking it would take another 30 minutes. At that point, I decided to eat it rather than wait even longer. When the check came, I noticed that the boneless chicken had a two-dollar surcharge compared to the bone-in option. I asked the owner to remove the charge since I had ordered the bone-in chicken. His response was, "You ordered boneless chicken and now you want me to take off the two dollars when you ate it... fine. I'll take off two dollars." I felt blamed for a mistake that was not mine. As the guest, I ordered my meal correctly, waited a long time for service, received the wrong dish, and then was spoken to as if I had caused the issue. Because of the poor service and the way the situation was handled, my girlfriend and I do not plan to return and would not recommend this restaurant to others. Additionally, the food was mediocre. We have been there are several times and I've really enjoyed our previous experiences. Unfortunately, this experience has pushed us away.

The only reason why I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because our waitress didn't seem to give us the best service. We did have a bigger group but drinks were gotten but once we told her what we were missing they came right away. The one weird part was we weren't offered dessert, and we came here for a birthday so we had planned on getting dessert. She just came by and dropped off the checks without offering any desserts to order. We'll be back as the food overall is very good.

I wish the food was marked gluten free or not because I was afraid to have anything but the vegetables and mashed potatoes. There was gravy on both the beef and the chicken. The salad had croutons. The room has very tall ceilings so it becomes very noisy and hard to hear the person talking across the table. There were restrooms right outside the room and an elevator for those who can't navigate stairs.

On Friday night, May 15 coming home from Lake Geneva we took rte 14 specifically so we could stop here, sans reservation. Sat at the bar and kibitzed with bartender, Kyle. My wife had Tagliatelle al Bosco which she raved about and I had my often go-to, pizza. In a moment of insanity I added anchovies. Pizza was, as usual, very good if not extra salty. Not their fault, mine. Kyle recommended the dessert of something ('Italian-sounding') fried, with very mild cheese inside which was terrific. Had a very good time, as usual. I enjoy this place. Four stars is 'exceptional' from me.

We ordered the bruschetta and charcuterie board off the happy hour. The charcuterie board was just a meat & cheese board- it was good but don't except something grand. The bruschetta was delicious, some of the best. I love that the toast is thin so you can taste the tomatoes and cheese more. For main entrees my mom got the chicken parmigiana with rigatoni noodles and I got the lobster ravioli with no spinach. I loved the lobster ravioli and will go back just for this dish. I was not a fan of the chicken parm.

Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.
