“One of my favorite places! A bit pricey but worth it. I went for their event last night “ The longest pasta table “! It was wonderful! I hope they do it again! Pasta, wine atmosphere, service and entertainment was over the top perfect! Took me back to Italy! I LOVED it!”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our recent dining experience at Cucina Lab Torino. The authentic Italian cuisine was truly exceptional and a delightful surprise. It made for a perfect and memorable date night with my wife. She absolutely loved every moment of our visit. We highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a wonderful meal.”
“Amazing experience at the Lab. Each course is thoughtfully planned out and delicious. The food is fantastic as are the drinks. The service is very helpful and informative. The chef does a fantastic job and they will assist with any food allergies or restrictions. Only downside was every time I looked up I saw a big glowing dental practice sign outside. Thats just me though. Would totally eat here again.”
“This place is awesome! I reserved a dinner there in the middle of May, and it was among the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly, the wine tasting was fun and informative (not to mention the wines were delicious), and the food was incredible. Thankfully, I had the chance to visit Italy last year, and this place brought me right back in 6 amazing courses. Can’t recommend this place enough, if you have the money!”
“I really wanted to enjoy this experience, but unfortunately it fell far short of what the price and concept promise. At $90 per person for a five-course meal, I expected a refined, high-end dining experience. Instead, every course arrived cold, and the food overall was very bland, lacking depth, seasoning, or any memorable flavors. Nothing felt elevated or thoughtfully executed in a way that justified the cost. The pacing was another major issue. Keep in mind it takes 30mins to wait for the next dish which arrived cold. A long, drawn-out service can work when the food and atmosphere are exceptional—but in this case, it only amplified the disappointment. This restaurant clearly aims to offer a curated, upscale dining experience, but execution is critical at this price point. Temperature, flavor, and timing are fundamentals, and missing on all three makes it hard to recommend. I hope the owners take this feedback seriously, because the concept has potential. That said, while some people may come once to try the experience, I can’t see many guests returning unless significant improvements are made”
