"I’ve been here before and been given the old waffle about them liking tips in cash but now they actually print on the bill “service charge not included. Gratuities cannot be left on credit or debit cards as 100% of tips are shared between staff” I eat out a lot at all types of restaurant I’ve literally never ever had a bill like this with this wording insisting on cash tips Since covid I just don’t carry cash and I would imagine many people do the same All other restaurants I have been to without exception either add a service charge or allow a tip/gratuity to be added to the bill and in both cases the total bill can be paid for by credit or debit card These restaurants all then split the tip/gratuity between the staff by including their share in their wages which then ensures that tax is paid on the tips/gratuity as the law requires so this still ensures that “100% of tips are shared between staff” as the bill wishes The tip/gratuity if paid in cash like at this restaurant still needs to be declared to HMRC and I assume the staff/restaurant do this The advantage of allowing the tip/gratuity to be paid by credit or debit card is that this separate disclosure to HMRC is not required as it is dealt with through the businesses payroll system and tax applied accordingly"

Our 5th time at this restaurant now and every trip has been excellent for all our guests. This restaurant has very quickly risen to be our favourite and have already booked up again for a Valentines treat.

We called in for lunch whilst in Leigh Broadway. This is how Italian restaurants should be. The food was WONDERFUL as was the service. We are not locals but would 100% go back. Stop by if you get the chance you won't be disappointed

Cucina managed to squeeze the two of us in on what was clearly a very busy Friday night. They seem to have plenty of staff (which is rare these days! which meant service was attentive but not too much and everything was done beautifully. Food was fab, wine was super cold and delicious, atmosphere was cracking. The place is much nicer and cosier and authentic inside than you expect from the outside (which I think looks rather industrial . We will most certainly be back. Been looking for our local 'go to ' place when you want something a little bit more fancy and think this might be it!
