Ordered the Lamp pot pie from the specials menu and lasagne. Am not usually a fan of lamb but this pie was just very hearty and divine. Lasagne was also tasty, though it could use a bit more salt. It would be even better if they also offered a small parmesan cheese top-up bowl like in other Italian restaurants. There is a pleasant outdoor seating area on the street side but is usually packed. They also offer take home pasta/lasagne meals too.
nice place, quality food and ingredients. nice coffee.
In Short: A warm welcome from Rocca awaits you when you visit Cucina Espresso in Concord. Once he has your order he will hand off the ticket to Carlo in the kitchen, who will then apply technique and create flavourful and beautifully presented plates of food that draws on his Italian heritage. My tip is, your orders has to include the breakfast arancini. You will be surprised and delighted.

Cucina Espresso has racked up nearly eight years of operation. You’ll find the family-run café in Concord’s main shopping strip, which takes up the better part of three blocks of Majors Bay Road. Cafes and restaurants make up a good many of the businesses in this strip, so competition for the weekend breakfast spend is fierce. Cucina Espresso have risen to the challenge with an expanded menu of unique breakfast items, all while keeping a core menu for the bacon-and-eggs brigade.Rather than employing fusion, chef Carlo Calautti’s menu innovations are unified by staying faithful to Italianate flavours and techniques. His Breakfast Arancini ($16.90) is a moment of pure genius. To make it...
HELLO breakfast lovers. I am back at Cucina Espresso as they have a number of new menu items. I am here at 8:30am to avoid the crowds that come a bit later.

They are best known for their creative breakfast dishes with an Italian twists. There's a queue of coffee lovers as I enter Cucina Espresso on this particular Saturday morning.

Thanks for the meal!
Ordered uovo rossa and burger with chips.
Solid Italian Cafe. Nice juicy burger, salty and tangy. Meat was cooked well. The uovo was light, the egg was runny and the tomato sauce was well seasoned. Seemed like a friendly place with heaps of locals. Though did not receive table water despite asking a few times (all other tables had water). With more attention to detail definately would have been a better experience.
There’s a wide variety of menu items sure to please anyone’s taste buds. Everything cooked to perfection, and looking absolutely spot on. Staff were attentive and made sure we left happy.
If you’re looking for some deceptively delicious, go for the Uovo Cotto. A baked egg dish made with white sauce, TRUFFLE, bacon, mushroom, and grana padano. Unbelievable flavours.
We came for breakfast with a small group, and we loved everything we had for breakfast!!! The staff were very friendly and attentive, the place gets pretty busy during the weekends, so make sure you get there early for breakfast. They have a wide range of dishes to select from! We love the poached egg and polenta dish which as cooked perfectly and was delicious
Absolutely loved this place!
The carrot cake pancakes are a must try - you won't be disappointed.
Their savoury dishes are also really tasty and the eggs, cooked perfectly.
The best thing is that they're also pet friendly so you can bring your 4 legged pal along with you.
Definitely one to visit.

One of the best brunch places I’ve been to. Tried the Uovo Cotto and thought that it would be too creamy (it had cheese and potato mash in white sauce), but turned out to be really nice. Could’ve used more truffles though (as I barely tasted it), but it was good all in all.
The chips were on point too! Not too greasy and just cooked the way I like it.
They're busy for a reason. The quality of food and the speed of service was great. The prices were also very reasonable. Late lunch for 2 $67 or so.
We came for a late brunch - pretty much lunch actually xD had pastas and some potato egg dish and eggs benedict. The pastas were both quite nice, one was a crab meat rose pasta and the other... garlic shrimp? My goodness I should really get the dish names next time.. the best was the potato egg thing omg that's a must get! It was like a creamy base with eggs and potato and my golly god I loved it. I think I love potatoes and I never knew it! The eggs bene was on some arancini ball looking thing and it wasn't really my style, I prefer bread. The man I think he is the owner, he gave us extra bread for the potato egg. Thank you so much - yes I love bread!
Coffee was excellent, highly recommend!!
I’m a regular here at Cucina and a big fan of thejir baked egg dishes. I’ve tried most if not all of the uovo dishes on the menu. My fave is the uovo bolognese e piselli.
I love their pasta and coffee ❤️ I am definitely going back. There has a limited potion of Arancini so I'd like to try later 🔥
We had the Salmon benedict & the uovo caprese. Their food is always so fresh & perfectly balanced. Such friendly & warm service. Really good coffee. Always a pleasure at Cucina
Delicious food. Quick service and reasonable wait time for food even though it was busy. Outdoor seating had ample heating and was quite comfortable even on a cold windy day. Definitely will be back
Prosciutto omelette had a great balance of flavours and generous portion size. The salmon eggs Benedict needed something fresh to balance out the richness of the hollandaise sauce. The pancakes were light and fluffy but could've done more fruit for some more freshness.
