The new owners of Cucina Cucina have ruined the restaurant. After years of excellent food and service from Cucina Cucina, it looks as if my wife and I and had our last $75 dinner there. Based on the food and service we have been experiencing the last few visits, I predict the restaurants will be shutting down soon. (No wonder the best Cucina Cucina on Lake Union is gone.) Lets take last night's experience at 6:15 at the Issaquah Cucina Cucina ITALIAN Cafe, ooops I mean the Issaquah Cucina Cucina Cafe. Arrive at 6:15 and have to wait until 6:45 to be seated only to find when getting inside the restaurant that it is half empty! Then, the appetizer and drinks arrive fairly fast but that seems to be a way to pacify the long wait for the entrees. The new owners of this restaurant chain have destroyed a good thing. Thanks for the good times, we always had enjoyed the food, good service and the Italian talking in the bathrooms.
