Incredible food. Incredible service. Fresh food at its finest!! Eggplant parm and grilled octopus were top of my list. Truly a wonderful dining experience...can not say enough great things about this place and the staff!
AR Cucina has it all! Delicious, rustic Italian fare, served in a fresh/inviting ambiance with two additional choices for alfresco dining.
Excellent offerings- for starters I enjoyed a lovely glass of wine, tuna carpaccio (to die for!), then homemade pasta (that would make my Italian aunt jealous), steak prepared to perfection and ended with a chocolate creation and cappuccino.
Options to serve individual or family style- the space can be configured to accommodate large groups (I will be hosting 30 ppl.)
Knowledgable and attentive servers, variety and quality of selections (pasta, steak, seafood, vegetarian) and convenient parking (street/garage).
I have long been a fan and promoter of their other establishment, Akasha, just steps away and am thrilled they have added this gem.
Brava AR Cucina!!
Fantastic food in a beautiful space, not too loud, great service and really just amazing food, AR never disappoints in anything she does!
Love everything about this place. Food, atmosphere, location, drinks, staff, and vibe are all some of the best in LA. MANGA!
Great menu with a range of pastas and secondi. Had my favorite pasta - a well executed parpadelle with a duck ragu.

Delicious, creative food, kind service, and beautiful decor. What more could you ask for? Oh, how about moderate prices? That too!
Amazing spicy cocktails with even more amazing spiced shrimp and pork! Great balance of flavors , best pork I've ever had
The wine was perfect and the food excellent but what made our time so lovely there was our bartender, very pleasant young man, great service, polite, and was a look-a-like for the recently departed music artist Prince, we wish you well !!
Wow Akasha has given us the most authentic rustic Italian fare we have had since our last time in Italy! We cannot wait to return!!
Amazing food. Amazing service. We love it and will be back!
The best pretentious Indian food outside of London.
yummy . great food presentation, great ambiance. I have been only once but definitely coming back.
Unique drinks, great service, enjoyed appetizer, will go again!
It was the best food we had. Close to tourist destinations so the perfect mix of locals and tourists of all shapes and sizes. There is always a line of people trying to get in the entire time we were there and a constant stream of food being sent home. The menu is large and we were worried they couldn't cook everything from fresh, but how wrong we were. The lasagne matched everything we've tried on our many trips to Italy. Unusual mix of food and drink from all over the world, but somehow it works. I even had a German draft beer which was great. It's a shame we discovered this place on our last evening and we'll be back.

AR Cucina was fantastic ! The service was impeccable. Marley the manager and our waitress was such a sweetheart & truly amazing from start to finish! This was a family style dinner and we chose our menu in advance which made the experience that much better once we arrived. We were served water & our choice of wine. Next was a fantastic rosemary bread which was served warm. Our next course was chopped salad& burrata cheese. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had a choice of 3 pastas 1. Vodka sauce 2. Pesto sauce 3. Meat sauce - all were totally different yet equally phenomenal. Dessert was a choice of tiramisu or sorbet. The salted Carmel sorbet was delicious !!! I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in Culver City!!
We loved this place!
The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. The mushroom risotto was full of flavour and the density was just perfect, and the lasagna was magnificent! (So good that I forgot to take pics upon their arrival LOL)
The service was very attentive, friendly and professional and the atmosphere was clean, fresh and modern.....
Well done!
Great happy hour with 1/2 off drinks at the bar. Food seed reasonably priced. Will be back to try dinner.
The food was good with the exception for one plate the butternut squash.. otherwise 5 stars for service, ambience and drinks
Nice place. They have some unique food, but is not extra ordinary. I like the ambience. I did notice one of the staff biting nails, not a nice thing to see at a restaurant. I wish if they bring back some of the Indian fusion food they had before. Was a big fan of previous gunpowder potatoes, however not a fan of the fresh friend chips now.
