About Cucina by Liquid

A low-key Findon trattoria serving up hearty bowls of house-made pasta and classic Italian comfort food in big, generous portions. Locals treat it as their neighborhood go-to for oversized plates that rarely stretch the wallet—from gnocchi ragù to garlic bread and crisp chicken schnitzel. The kitchen happily accommodates dietary swaps and sauce tweaks on the fly. Come midweek for Wednesday pasta night, or settle in over spaghetti frutti di mare loaded with calamari and prawns.

  • Flexible kitchen mods: Kitchen readily handles sauce swaps, pasta substitutions, and personal dietary requests.
  • Generous portions & value: Oversized bowls of house-made pasta and hearty mains offered at budget-conscious prices.
  • Weekly dining specials: Scheduled mid-week pasta night and weekend bottomless brunch options.

    My best friend and I attended late on a Sunday morning for a bottomless brunch. The food was absolutely AMAZING and the service impeccable. We had the loveliest lady taking care of us who made sure our glasses were always full.

    We got the Spaghetti al frutti di Mare along with the chilli crab and garlic bread. Honestly, this is the best Italian we have ever had.

  • Chicken Parmigiana

    This time around I had the chicken parmy (coteletta in Italian). Serving size was huge, salad was fresh and some of the tastiest chips I've had.

  • Con Pollo Ravioli

    I asked for the Con Pollo, swapped out the penne for ravioli, and honestly… I think I broke the simulation. That sauce? Creamy, tomato-rich, silky, with enough flavour to make a grown man whisper “grazie Nonna” into the void.
