NJEMT29 Posted March 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Can you order more than one Appetizer and entrée? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted March 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2019 My experience at Cucina del Capitano has been that each person orders one entree, and appetizers are shared among the people at the table. I don’t know whether they allow more than one entree per person to be ordered. The entree portions are very generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted March 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2019 definitely not an additional entree, maybe an app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted March 11, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have ordered more than one appetizer several times, but never more than one entree. I assume they would let you do it for anothe $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In all of the specialty restaurants, they aren't going to let you order a second entree. It is pretty much accepted at this point. Now, if the included mdr ever limited your entrees, then that will create a civil war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llamabear Posted March 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2019 First time cruising on a ship with the specialty restaurants, is Cucina's worth the $$$? Like, is it comparable to Olive Garden on taste, or is it kinda run of the mill Italian dining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted March 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I would like to add if you go here for lunch when it's free, you may want to order 2 entrees. Their portion sizes are tiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCruise48 Posted March 12, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2019 On the Horizon in January, we were told by server that 2 appetizers and 1 entree was included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Garden is run of the mill Italian dining and doesn’t come close to Cucina’s quality in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have quite a few Italian restaurants in our area that don't even begin to taste as good as Olive Garden, so to me Olive Garden is the mark to beat for Italian food. Us rural Missourian's don't have a lot of options apparently...I love OG! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We REALLY like JiJi's, which again is free for lunch (Mongolian Wok), but extra for dinner and well worth the $$$. It's not fair to compare the lunch with dinner at these specialty restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! I was figuring we'd try the lunch, and if we liked it, make a dinner reservation.😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that, we like Olive Garden as well and we have the same issue here in our part of South Carolina as you do. Unless we travel almost an hour away, our non-OG choices for Italian food around here are several locally owned "Italian" restaurants, most of them are owned and operated by different members of the same Greek families and OG is much better than any of them we've been to. Our upcoming cruise will be our first cruise with more than just the Steakhouse available as a specialty restaurant and we are booked for Cuchina on the second night. If it's at least as good as OG, I'm sure we will be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five. Posted March 12, 2019 #20 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The best italian place around my area is in Easley at Capris. There are some in Anderson as well, but we usually go to Easley when we want italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Garden is not even in the same league as Cucina. I would also say $15 equals $$, not $$$, very reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not any more. Since the last menu change, we are not fans. They removed two of our favorites. The chicken parmesan was changed to a very flat patty more like the size of a pancake. It was not tasty at all. My wife got sick after eating one of the shrimp dishes. We do still like the free lunch offerings, but not the paid evening meals. They are not worth it in our opinion.

ChosenOne Posted March 12, 2019 #24 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We were recently on Magic & enjoyed the Cucina so much we ate there twice. 2 appetizers (try the meatball!) an entree & desert (Chocolate biscotti with coffee gelato! yum) HUGE portions & a welcome additional venue . We also ate at the steakhouse (always good), and seafood shack (decent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the talks of getting a Steak n shake! Very excited!😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
