PRIVATE DINING
Serving Italian-style sharing portions in the relaxed and cosy surroundings of a traditional Italian kitchen – Cucina is a rustic, relaxed, family friendly restaurant that combines the key venues found in any true Italian city. Start or end your day at Cucina Bar, an expressive space, built around the rituals of socializing over the best coffee and freshest pastries or an all-occasion aperitivo. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant is the main event. At Cucina being loud and making a mess is encouraged. Tables are filled with sharing style or individual platters of home-made pasta from the pasta studio, risotto and handmade artisanal pizza, alongside elegant antipasti and more! Always save room for dessert! Inspired by the gelato parlours of Naples and lovingly made with all natural ingredients, you will find small batch gelato and sorbetti in classic and daring combinations at the Gelateria by Cucina.

Iconically delicious, authentically Italian.

CUCINA PRIVATE DINING The Italian experience you weren’t expecting. Visiting Cucina mimics strolling through the charming streets of Italy where you discover coffee bars, local trattorias and gelateria’s before stumbling upon a hidden gem. One could spend the whole day discovering home-grown and authentic concepts; one reminiscent of Cucina’s Private Dining Rooms. An exclusive venue, with two unique rooms to host memorable occasions, intimate gatherings or bespoke events, behind closed doors. Both The Chef’s Office and The Garden Room can be combined to accommodate up to 26 guests. Much more than a simple meal, Chef Emanuele and his team offer an immersive dining experience, hosted by the man himself. Chef Emanuele prides himself on crafting a true Italian story, the truly Italian way, through food and drink.
THE CHEF’S OFFICE The creative corner Rustic, traditional and inviting, this space is where the magic happens! Book The Chef’s Office, and you will have the opportunity to explore all of the chef’s latest dishes, before anyone else! The table seats up 12 guests, or can be combined with The Garden Room to accommodate up to 26 guests.
THE GARDEN ROOM Our produce is grown and harvested just 20 feet away. It doesn’t get more “local” than that! Not only is this a beautiful private dining room, but you will dine in our Cucina garden. Our bright, airy space offers interactive growing experiences with sustainability in mind. Our culinary team will cut custom-grown herbs and leafy vegetables, which are then prepared into salads and pesto for the ultimate sensual experience. This space can seat up to 14 guests on one large communal table, or can be combined with The Chef’s Office to accommodate up to 26 guests.
THE RESTAURANT The neighbourhood Italian you’ve been missing If you love the energy and vibe of our restaurant, we can set you and your party up right in the middle, taking in the surrounding environment. Here you can enjoy a set menu or divide it up into smaller groups over several tables.
"Mangia che ti passa" Just eat and forget about it!
THE FOOD Italian food should be beautifully simple and simply beautiful. The team has prepared a series of menus that have been perfectly aligned with special beverages. If these do not fit your vision for your special occasion, we are happy to custom-write items that cater to your preferences. Choose from our selection of beverage package menus, and we will provide a fully loaded Italian bar set up in your private space for a fixed price. When looking at substituting dishes from our set menus the à la carte menu is a good place to start. Should you not find something there, the chef would be happy to custom-make you a dish. Chef keeps the meat lovers menu that includes a large selection of pork dishes in his cupboard for guests that are looking for a big Italian feast. Full vegetarian or vegan menus can also be prepared on request when booking your space.
