Customer Reviews

We dined on the chef’s tasting: Superbly prepared roasted beet salad, chicken papradelle, seared trout, braised lamb, and flowerless chocolate cake. Each course done to perfection. Amazing wine pairings, and flawless service. A must for extra special family occasions. We will do this again, and again, and again…..

Ambiance/Decor: A-
Chic intimate atmosphere. Very nice and tasteful décor. Nice and very clean. If it were not located in a strip mall, I would give an A+. The décor makes up for that.

Service: A+
Went for a Valentines Day dinner. I made reservations through the Open Table app. We were promptly greeted and seated by the owner/chef I think. Courses were timed very well for a busy night. Alisha was very attentive, friendly, and had a great knowledge of the menu and specials.

Food Quality: A
We started by ordering a nice bottle of Chianti. For appetizer, we hade the fried risotto balls and meatballs. Both were cooked well and very tasty. I had the Fettuccini Carbonara which had a nice poached egg on top. Delicious!. She had the Eggplant Parmesan and liked it very much. Did not have room for dessert this time around. I want to have the Chicken and Mushroom Pappardelle next time.

Price: A
Prices were very good for the quality of the food and service. Bottle of wine, one appetizer, two entrees = $85 plus gratuity.

Probability of a Return Visit: Most likely yes. I wish it were closer to home. Great location for the Fury’s Ferry area residents, located in the Bi-Lo Shopping center.

So good… So I was dining solo so I sat at the bar. Amanda was the bartender and she was awesome! I was looking for a wine that I couldn’t remember the name of (yes I know) and she was super patient and helpful. I finally decided on the red wine sangria and I was not disappointed. I didn’t have an appetizer but the house bread was really tasty. My entrée was the pan seared trout and it was ridiculous!!! Hands down the best trout I’ve ever tasted. While talking with Amanda I found out that the restaurant actually has its own farm and even the bread and desserts are made in house. The quality shows in every sip, bite and smile. Will definitely be back.

This was the most amazing restaurant my husband and I have ever been too! The service was beyond what we even expected. The chef brought the food to us and kept checking on us to see how we were doing. All the food is freshly prepared and supported from local farms. You can defiently taste a difference. There is heart and soul put inro every dish. We will be back over and over. Olive Garden can not hold a torch to dishes at Cucina 503.

Absolutely the finest dining I’ve ever experienced. Each course was delicious, beautifully presented and the chef was amazing. He suggested wine pairings and our family had the greatest evening. I highly recommend this treasure of a restaurant. Everything was homemade, incredible. Our new favorite destination!
