Looking for an authentic slice of Italy right in the heart of Oxted? Cucina Italian Restaurant at 28-30 Station Rd E is the kind of place that makes you forget you're in the UK the moment you step inside. With its warm-toned interiors, rustic décor, and the aroma of garlic, fresh herbs, and tomato sauce drifting from the kitchen, it captures the soul of a true Italian trattoria.
What stands out at Cucina is their clear focus on freshness and tradition, with a menu that feels both familiar and elevated. Whether you're here for a relaxed lunch or a cozy dinner, there's an undeniable charm that sets this spot apart from the average high-street Italian.
Let’s talk dishes-because that’s where Cucina really shines. Their Ravioli is a crowd-pleaser: pockets of hand-folded pasta generously filled and bathed in velvety sauce. The Lasagna, layered with rich ragu and béchamel, hits all the comforting notes, while the Vegan Pomodora Pasta Napoli caters to plant-based diners without skimping on flavor. Meat lovers gravitate toward the Mixed Grill or the perfectly grilled Fish Skewers, often paired with a refreshing green salad and roasted squash.
For starters, their Bruschetta is a staple-fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, all on toasted bread with just the right crunch. If you're more into sharing plates, the Olives and Calamari make for excellent companions over a glass of wine. And speaking of wine, Cucina boasts a well-curated list that leans into both Italian classics and a few unexpected gems, perfect for pairing with everything from Steak and Broccolini to the delicate Salmone Con Lenticchie.
Now let’s not ignore the dessert game here. Tiramisu is obviously a must-it’s the kind that melts in your mouth with layers of espresso-soaked sponge and mascarpone. But those who like something tangy will enjoy the Lemon Tart, while chocolate fans will swoon over the indulgent Chocolate Calzone or the decadent Cheesecake Slice.
The beverage offerings are just as thoughtfully designed. Whether it’s an after-dinner Espresso Martini, a mid-meal Aperol Spritz, or a refreshing beer or cocktail, there's always something to complement your plate. And if you’re dropping by for a midday break, the coffee alone is worth the visit-bold, rich, and served just right.
Cucina isn’t just about the food; the whole experience feels tailored to make every guest feel welcomed. It’s wheelchair-accessible, including both the entrance and seating, making it friendly for everyone. If you prefer a little sunshine with your pasta, grab a seat outside and enjoy the atmosphere from their al fresco seating area. And if you're on the go, their takeaway option means you can bring that Italian flavor home.
This place is particularly popular for lunch and dinner, and it’s also ideal for solo diners looking for a quick yet memorable bite. Thanks to the menu’s variety, you'll find healthy options, small plates, and even late-night bites, which is great for post-work wind-downs or spontaneous evening cravings.
From the elegant plating to the casual, inviting ambiance, Cucina Italian Restaurant proves that great Italian cuisine doesn't need to shout to be heard. It just needs to be real-crafted with heart, served with care, and always a little bit unforgettable.
