What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about La Cucina

Does La Cucina have gluten-free options?

Yes: 2 dishes are gluten free as served, and 19 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 1 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

The venue notes: “Printed statements: 'Gluten free and dairy free options available' (bread section, dinner and takeaway) and 'Gluten Free pasta available…”.

If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.
