La Cucina is a NEW authentic Italian pizzeria and restaurant in the heart of downtown Kitchener. Although a new location, the owners are not new to Italian food. With strong Italian roots, a passion to create authentic Italian food and a love of quality and fresh ingredients, La Cucina Pizzeria will soon be your favourite spot to eat and hang-out. The irresistible aromas from our custom-built Malagutti pizza oven will draw you in, and the delicious dishes that emerge from it will keep you coming back for more. Malagutti has been creating these refractory stone culinary masterpieces for over four decades. You will be able to see your pizza or calzone cooked right before your eyes.

The Pizzeria will be serving more than just pizza slices: our menu includes antipasti, homemade pastas, paninis, and larger dishes like Veal Parmigiana and Porchetta.

Dine with us at La Cucina and fall in love with Italian food all over again.

My wife and i have lived in kw the past 50 years. We are semi regular at la cucina. It was my wife's Birthday today and she chose la cucina of all of the kw restaurants she had a choice from. The cooking staff made a top shelf meal. We have been to LA Cucina many times, tonight was the first time I had their hot sauce- wow! Neil was top shelf and one his game. An albatross if this was golf Neil.

Servers were very friendly and were making us pronounce the dishes with an Italian accent which was very fun. Food was amazing and well priced, coming out quickly and appealing! Went there for our first date and a year later coming again for nostalgia and was even better the second time. Very much recommend

Food: Cheese board - Generous serving of cured meats, one thing that can be improved on is to add other types of cheeses. Ossobuco - Loved this! I’ll order this again. Pizza - I may have had higher expectations, but it was good overall. Ambiance: Not for intimate dining. The place is a little cramped. We can also hear the stories shared on other tables. This may be a good spot for drinking and if you don’t mind other people hearing you. They have lots of coat rack so that’s a plus. Service: It was quite difficult to catch the attention of our server (or any staff), I think it’s because of where we were seated. There was also a significant waiting time between our orders. It was a peak hour though, so maybe that’s why.
