First turn off - service. We were served by Russian speaking lady, who was either a servant or manager. Since majority in Uzbekistan are muslims, it should be written in the menu that meat and food served are NOT Halal. When we asked if their food is halal or not (e.g. do chicken, beef, and other foods comply with halal standards and doesn’t contain alcohol?), the manager acted rude and specifically said “if we want to make a scene here” and kept telling that this is authentic Italian cuisine. They could have just said it’s not halal certified or certain foods in the menu are halal and give us some options. Instead, she chose to be authoritative. I understand that Italians consume non-halal food on a daily basis, but since its in Tashkent and visitors are Uzbeks, they should be notified about this because I have seen hijabi visitors eating Peperroni Pizzas, probably not expecting it to be real pork. Food is not that great either, very overrated for its price and portions are not proportional to cost. And nothing special about it being authentic Italian. Average Italian pizzeria in the US has much better food.

The waiter threw away my pills wrapped in paper. I left them at the table and looked away for less than a minute and it's gone.
Most importantly when asked to find it, staff pretended like nothing happened.
It's not like it looked like garbage or a used napkin.

I was there with my friends, pizza was not as delicious as we expected. Salad Burrato didn't have taste. But atmosphere and decorations were wonderful. As I entered the door, I felt like I was walking in the streets of Italy.

A wonderful, beautiful, stylish Italian restaurant!
The atmosphere and design completely immerse you in Italy
The food is incredibly delicious! Desserts are fantastic! We tried Napoleon and lemon - I can safely say that these are the best desserts in the city!
Vladimir, the manager, met us and told us about the restaurant, which also left a very pleasant feeling of need and importance in the restaurant, the most authentic Italian hospitality!
We will definitely come back🍋
At the exit, you can buy a handmade merce, which is also very cool, we bought it and will take it with us to Dubai and we will remember this wonderful restaurant!
A lot of positive emotions have left this place.
I wish you success and prosperity!
I heartily recommend the restaurant, super!!!
And do not forget about limoncello - a mandatory drink in this restaurant🍋

I advise you to visit the Cucucina restaurant – this is a place that is worth attention! The atmosphere there is simply wonderful: stylish interior, pleasant music, creating a special mood. The staff is at the highest level: polite, friendly and always ready to help. The food is also delicious! Everything we tried was delicious and definitely worth the price. The order was delivered quickly enough, which was a pleasant surprise, given the number of guests in the restaurant. The only thing was that I had to wait a little for the bill at the end, but this is a small thing, especially considering how many visitors they have. I definitely recommend it for a pleasant evening and a great dinner!"

I often visit this place when I fly from Moscow to my beloved Tashkent.I would like to express my gratitude to Batyr , a customer-oriented and very friendly manager.The kitchen has recently pleased me, everything was delicious, from salads to pizza "Devil".The veranda is very cozy , but there is not enough background music)
for desserts, I tried many different ones in this place , but I did not like any of them .Not fresh at all, it is clear that they keep it in the refrigerator .In general , in any case , I love this place very much, thank you for your hospitality 🤗

A good restaurant. The interior is tastefully decorated in the style of expensive restaurants with an open kitchen demonstration.
The food is delicious, made from top quality products. We came to taste Italian cuisine, we liked everything we ordered: cucuccine pizza with arugula, salad with pink tomatoes and cream cheese... The service is good, the order delivery time is satisfactory.
I definitely recommend it.

A nice place with a summer terrace.
Delicious focaccia, not expensive wine.
European cuisine with reasonable prices.
A great place to chill with a girlfriend or friends.
The service is not perfect, but overall not bad. Unfortunately, the dishes are not served evenly.
Shopping center parking, there are always places.

An amazing Italian restaurant located in the modern center of Tashkent, visiting it you will get a gastronomic pleasure (personally, I enjoyed pizza so much, I have been to many cities and countries, but I did not get such gastronomic pleasure anywhere, it seems to me, an incredible combination of dough and fillings that complement each other), special thanks to the staff for their attention!

The original interior design, just a lot of interesting details and compositions. A kind of museum of Italian life in miniature.
At the entrance, the hostel is met and escorted to the place.
The kitchen is open, you can see how they cook and what they do. There are a lot of chefs and they are serious, like in movies about haute cuisine.
The atmosphere of the invited lighting is a little dark, which creates a certain comfort.
There are a lot of visitors, the landing is quite dense, the passages seemed narrow. It turns out to be very noisy. Like in the narrow Italian streets. There are a lot of waiters. Everything is fussy. It feels more like a light cafe with Italian prices :) The price segment is high for the local level.

a very beautiful and atmospheric restaurant!! The Italian style is expressed to the fullest!
the food is very tasty and satisfying, I took pasta carbonara and pizza "four cheeses", as well as fresh orange juice.
we were not sitting indoors, but outside, a very pleasant atmosphere.
in general, everything was very pleasant and fans of Italian themes should come here!!

"An atmospheric place," as my friend from Italy said.
The food is delicious, the prices are biting, but the location is not cheap either - Tashkent mall
The style of the cafe conveys a piece of the Italian province, it takes your breath away.
I liked that the reservation of the table is marked with a book. By asking, you can even read at will.
We are personally delighted!

CUCUCINA is one of the best restaurants that we really liked. The food is delicious and here is the best pizza in Tashkent. The service is at the highest level, greeted with a smile and respect. We thank the senior bartender, who prepares drinks in an original way.

A review based on two visits to this institution
Positive:
The chefs are TOP, please evaluate the work of the chefs without taking into account the rest of the moments in the restaurant, they really have everything very tasty, plus by visiting this institution you can definitely be sure that you will not be poisoned and your children too, and this is important, lasagna and veal cheeks wow, Thank you to the team of chefs!
The hostesses are some of the best in the city (apart from the moment when you tell them, thinking about their reputation, that the restrooms have run out of hand wipes and the bins are overflowing, a feigned reaction like: Oh, horror! This is something not natural and speaks of unprofessionalism, it is necessary to respond more tactfully in some moments. Just thank you for saying that and say that they will pass the information to the staff so that they have already put everything in order)
The glasses* that serve coffee are cool
If the interior design is not evaluated from a professional point of view, then it is also very good
The quality of the products is the best, location A1, the payment terminal is brought to the table, thank you, well done)
Considering that this is not really a restaurant * this is the best institution in its category in Tashkent, definitely a recamendation))))
Minuses
We kindly ask you not to defiantly turn away at the moment of dialing the pincode of the card by a guest at the table, believe me it looks very fast, you should be above this, you do not have such an institution to do this, understand that this gesture on your part is not important to the guests, plus many people do not like it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Waiters should have a spare uniform so as not to walk in the hall in stained T-shirts, I like their uniform, but it should be clean, both girls and boys.
Bottled beer is brought cool, but it should be cold, after a minute or two it is impossible to drink it, well, it doesn't taste great either.
When you have not finished more than half of the beer in the bottle, and at the same time ask to take this beer along with the glass, the waiter should at least react to this somehow.
The plates in which pasta is served are confusing, either because of the plates they brought us cold or the waiter carried it to us for a very long time.
Plus, the waiters are not attentive, there are empty glasses on the table, and they stand for 5-6 minutes, although there are a lot of waiters, anyone can come up and ask to repeat or not, and so you have to wait for your waiter, who apparently did not have time at all, carried beer for a very long time several times, just really long.
Another point is that the process of slicing pizza at the table is long, and ideally the waiter should not be silent and do it for a long time, for example, he can present pizza, tell about the unique ingredients of direct delivery from Italy, etc.
There was more foam in the cappuccino than there usually is in a Latte, for 3 cups of cappuccino. Plus, without Latte art, beauty in everything may be important to someone).
It is necessary to control that the waiters do not take tables on the veranda and in the hall at the same time. Guests have been waiting for waiters in the hall for a very long time, two adjacent tables were just looking for waiters, one table just to make the first order waited a long time for the waiter.
At the moment when the waiter sees that the guests are being photographed, he should offer to take a picture of them all together, not only at the table, but also offer an alternative beautiful location inside the establishment
Again, inattention, there was a couvert under the table near our table when we already sat down, you need to look under the tables when they are served after the guests
By Moscow standards, chefs 5, bar 4---, waiters 3+, hostesses 5-

Pasta with striploin is just space. The author's Caesar with grilled chicken is also a fire. Delicious Limoncello for an appetizer and wine as the main fuel. Desserts are not very good, but there is a taste and color... the service is top-notch, the prices bite, but it's worth it.
Enjoy your meal.

The food is generally not bad, but the service is just terrible. Starting with the fact that for a very long time everything was carried, even drinks.
But the most unpleasant And unacceptable was the attitude of the waiter: it was clearly different from the service of the neighboring tables, at which people of Slavic appearance were sitting. Since the tables were very close, at arm's length, everything could be heard and seen perfectly. For example, for some reason, a compliment in the form of limoncello was offered to the next table (why then not to everyone?). The pitch and attitude were clearly different. We were never asked if we wanted anything else, taking away an empty glass or plate, we had to look out every time and call him to order something.
The service in such a restaurant should be of a different level. The waiter's name is Vladimir

my favorite among establishments with Italian cuisine. everything looks so atmospheric and this barrel of grapes is a brain explosion. cucuccino pizza is bombastic, the only drawback is a lot of people, booking can solve this issue. everything was so cool, starting with the hostesses and ending with a treat from the institution in the form of a dessert resembling a lemon (I try it for the first time in my life, but I really liked it) I especially want to note the professionalism of the waiter Daniel.
I didn't have time to take pictures, but there is still a reason to come and take pictures of everything there. I definitely recommend it!

2 stars only for the interior! There is absolutely no food, a simple salad with arugula and shrimps, in which there are only 3 shrimps and no dressing, tasteless🫠 The pizza was burnt, it tastes the most ordinary, there is much tastier in Tashkent👌🏻 Lemonade peach aloe, I can't even describe it😅 It's like ordinary water with a slight hint of aloe and for some reason pepper:(Salted pistachio latte tastes normal, but served in the narrowest champagne glass for 65,000 is such a treat😕 In general, it was the most pitifully spent 450,000 for lunch🥲 Well, our waitress didn't really understand the menu and was lost in questions. In general, it's a disappointment🫤

Advantages - Top location, beautiful interior. We were on sat in the afternoon, we wanted to eat pizza, the pizza oven is not working, prevention or something like that. Waiters need to be taught, service is a sore spot in many restaurants, we ask the waiter for a chocolate eclair, he says that there is none, we have run out, we show him a showcase with eclairs, aah, yes, well, he brings an eclair and a spoon to it, aah, is this a discovery that eclairs are eaten with forks? In the bathroom, toilet paper is the cheapest, gray, guys, it's just indecent, in a restaurant where eclair costs 70 thousand, to save on such stuff. The food is ordinary, for 3+, edible, but no more. Slightly disappointed.

I would have put 6 if Yandex had given it. The food is stunningly delicious, the service is excellent. We delayed the dish a bit - we apologized and gave dessert as a gift.
The prices are adequate, with a discount on the location.

A pretty average place, both in taste and service. We booked a table in advance, but we couldn't get a seat in the hall right away. The waiter did not understand which wine was dry, which was semi-dry, etc
The roast beef appetizer is good, the risotto is too salty, I wanted a little sweetness in the lemonade, pistachio Napoleon is like in an average city bakery

They were poisoned in a restaurant. We were a family in a restaurant. We ordered gnocchi, ravioli with cheeks, chicken and pasta with shrimp. After visiting the restaurant, they felt the symptoms of poisoning. Everyone who ate red gnocchi and ravioli sauce was poisoned. Mussels with algae were also noticed in the seafood salad. The next day was ruined. We will never go to this restaurant again

Negative experience with restaurant managers. I booked a table for three in advance at 19.00. Not in the corner, in a better place. They said they would do everything, and they confirmed the reservation. I came in the evening, but there were no tables available at all. When I asked where my reservation was, no one answered me, and they told me😂 As a result, they found a table for two, and said that they were looking for a table for three. I waited 15 minutes, but there were no changes. He just got up and left. One star is not for the food, they didn't even give it to me to try, but for the terrible attitude towards the guest from the managers and hostesses

I visited an excellent restaurant, and although the overall impression is positive, there are a few comments. I would like to note that the hostess and the meeting of the guests could be more friendly and less appreciative. However, the impressions of the dishes vary: the Lemon dessert is a real discovery, but the pepperoni pizza disappointed because of the excess salt. The atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent, the service is friendly and responsible. Overall, I rate the restaurant four stars, as there is always room for improvement.

The interior is beautiful, everything is very neat. The only slightly uncomfortable passages between the tables are in the side areas, where sofas, in order to get out of the table area, you have to go around the next table closely. The kitchen is delicious, the service has been lucky so far. A huge plus is there is a children's corner, thanks for that

We were at dinner with my husband. The hostess girl immediately stated that there were no places, without asking how many people, for what time we were. I clarified that we were literally an hour away and we were running to the cinema. A half-empty hall was waiting for us inside, we were seated at a mini table near the kitchen (we were there until 18 o'clock, while most of the reservations were for 19). The food is delicious, yes, if you are willing to pay 145,000 soums for pasta with three shrimps. The appliances were not changed between dishes, but left already dirty from the salad. The wine list consists of wine databases, unfortunately, Pino Grigio, Merlo and for some reason Georgian wines. In general, I think the experience was not successful, the staff needs to be more attentive and caring to the guests

Nice interior. Good service.
The 2 cheese pizza is quite bland. There is not enough blue cheese.
I do not recommend taking Vitelo tonato. It has a normal sauce and a beautiful serving. But it is served simply with baked-boiled meat, which already has 0 rosy colors. How when trouble should have been served medium rare, but well done :/
