La Cucina, with all the charm of a traditional trattoria and the elegance of a contemporary eatery, is part of the Fairmont St Andrews 5-star hotel. The restaurant's speciality is big, bold Italian flavours created with authentic ingredients. Dining at La Cucina is relaxed and informal while the service is always friendly and attentive.
Antipasti, gourmet pizzas, pasta dishes and a range of daily specials all feature on the menu. Chefs at La Cucina St Andrews make the most of the delicious local produce available to them and change the menu with the seasons to make sure they are using ingredients when they are at their best. With its coastal location, surrounded by beautiful Scottish countryside, there is a rich selection to choose from. All pizzas are made with durum wheat dough and topped with a secret house tomato sauce while all pasta is freshly made. On the menu diners will find dishes like a classic pollo alla cacciatora, bread-crumbed pork served with black pudding, and monkfish wrapped in pancetta. There's also always a catch of the day dish and a selection for children.
La Cucina and Fairmont St Andrews are just a short way down the coast from St Andrews' medieval town centre. The area is famous for its impressive cathedral, some great museums and, of course, a selection of world-renowned golf courses. With plenty of free parking at the hotel and a regular local bus route stopping right outside the resort, it's easy to explore St Andrews, the spectacular surrounding countryside and the dramatic coastline before or after dinner.
