Casa Cucina Modern Italian Restaurant

The atmosphere & environment is very comfortable at this restaurant, giving off a modern & cozy Italian restaurant feel. Service is fast and good. This restaurant seems to have a wide selection of alcohol, but we didn’t drink during our visit so cannot comment on that. As for food, my group felt dishes are hit or miss. What we didn’t like: Caesar salad - this was a letdown to us, as the salad dressing was mayonnaise squeezed on the salad. We were expecting the dressing to be emulsified with egg yolk & including olive oil and lemon juice. What we liked: Pork skewer dish - the pork skewer was yummy, though one person in our group comment that it could be fattier for juicier result. The accompanying salad was very refreshing (much more enjoyable than the Caesar). Iberico pork neck - very yummy, and the chef came out and torched the dish, was quite a nice bonus if you’re here to impress your guests / date night. Homemade coconut ice cream - we LOVED this a lot, and appreciate the restaurant for this complimentary dessert. We can taste there’s real coconut meat, and the sweetness so just right. It’s a delicious and guilt free dessert. Side note for the chef / owner - I was asked how the pizza tasted — at the time I said I it was good, but I was a little caught off guard and didn’t properly formulate a thought at the time. I forgot the name of this particular pizza we ordered, but it was the one topped with prosciutto and bacon. I love how generously the pizza was topped with these meats, but in hindsight, I’d prefer if there were some greens (e.g. arugula) on top to balance the saltiness of the cured meats, and the crust I’d like it to be crunchier/ more baked. Overall, my group is very happy to have found this restaurant in Melaka, a city we love a lot. Keep up the good work!

We are pleasantly surprised by the food and service here. What started as an impromptu trip down here turned into a good evening with delicious food. Thank you.

If Italian food is on your dinner plan, this would be one of my suggestions of places to try. I would say menu size is decent, with most Italian staples on it. We got the pork schnitzel and salmon pasta. They were both well seasoned and flavors were balanced. We did wish the schnitzel came with some carbs like a side of mashed/baked potato, but overall very good. It's a pretty small restaurant that can hold about 20 people. I would highly recommend making a reservation on weekends as it is usually fully booked. But if it's a weekday, no reservations needed. Service was great and the staff were are friendly and helpful. Will return again.

The food was really good—I had the seafood risotto and pasta. Interestingly, I didn’t see risotto on the menu, but when I asked the chef, he kindly said they could prepare it. I was there to celebrate my birthday, and they offered a complimentary crème brûlée, which was a lovely gesture. The chef was very friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.

This was a post-Christmas meal and it was my 1st time but my host has been many times before, till the chef personally took our orders and prepared some of the dishes by the table. Food was well cooked and delicious.

This place is the best place in melaka for fancy food, the A5 Japanese wagyu is so tender and juicy although the mushroom soup isn't for me it was still really good. The creme brulee is really nice the custard was very creamy and not too sweet as for the atmosphere it is very cozy and fancy at the same time.

Friendly chef and staff. Foods are superb! We had Mentaiko Salmon Pasta which was unexpectedly pleasant, being more towards oil based we feel. We also had Iberico Pork Jowl and Lamb rack which waa so so sooo tender and well flavoured. Chef gave coconut ice cream that was very creamy but not jelat. Food really did not disappoint. Looking forward to come back again!

We tried their set menu and had pork and fish. Interior was well decorated and cosy and had very nice ambience of dining together with the red table cloth. Welcome bread with homemade sauce. Bread was warm and goes very well with the sauce. Set came with one non-alcoholic drink and we had the Just Relax and sunset . Drinks were serve after the first course. Soup was beautifully plated and before we were done with the soup and bread (it pairs well) , main course was ready to be served. Main are without carbs , just meat and vegetables which is good if you are not looking for a heavy dinner. Barramundi 5/5 , it was so good we had an ala-cart second serving. Pork 4/5 . The fish overshadowed the pork in this caste but it was still well. Might help to have more sauce on the pork. Dessert - 5/5 coconut ice cream ( it was really good) Overall the dining experience was excellent and has the fine dining experience. At the price point the set menu is value for money. Will look forward to trying their other items on the menu.
