I recently visited Cucina 500 a hip restaurant in Inglewood. In this review I will be judging three aspects of this restaurant: The menu, service and food.
First of all, the menu contains a variety of options from pastas to pizza, steak, veal and more which is quite good. This restaurant seems to have appeal for a variety of people resembling that the majority of people will find something. Including all the menu contains a variety of options of types and details within the food.
Secondly, the service. At this restaurant the service was a little off. Some of my party had to be seated between our table and another even though we had a reservation. After the point at which we had received our appetizers our waiter left for long periods of time often forgetting about things we ordered (drinks). The service did not meet my expectations for the standards that they seemed to set for themselves through their pricey menu.
Last but certaintly not least, the food. We started of with the Burrata, bread with delightful mozzarella cream and more mozzarella. This dish was quite good especially because of the cheese. If you go to Cucina I definitely recommend you order this dish. After this came my main meal, a Margherita pizza. I found that the crust was lacking as the majority of the bottom was burnt but the toppings were adequate. The food that I experience at Cucina had a wide range of quality.

Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant. Even though the menu had a large variety, it did not make up for the whole restaurant. The service was disappointing while the food went from good to upsetting.
