The yellow farmhouse exterior of Cucina looks like it’d be on the cover of a Nicholas Sparks novel, and an evening here feels similarly romantic. When you walk through the wraparound porch and dining rooms, there’s still enough of the house’s original structure that it’s fun to imagine where all the living room furniture could be if you moved in. The rustic pastas, which are often filled with excellent local vegetables, perfectly match the setting. Bring a date here if you plan on asking them something serious, like whether they want to be your emergency contact or co-parent a foster dog with you.
