Restaurant guide

At La Mia Cucina, we believe in the quality of fresh homemade food. Most everything is made in house by our owners, adding a genuine personal touch to everything that comes out to you. Included in this is our desserts, made by the lovely Paula. She has taken to baking like a fish to swimming! Paula’s specialties include vanilla bean Creme Brûlée, Italian Tiramisu, Nana Balbo’s Sherry Cake, Divine Chocolate Cake, Nutella Bread Pudding, and scrumptious handmade Cannolis. Pictured here are fresh chocolate cakes, pre-frosting. We hope you’ll come see us soon and add the cherry on top to your meal— Paula’s desserts!
