Testimonials

Our dreams came true with Cucina’s design of opening the kitchen. The Miele steam oven makes me want to come home early from work to make new and delicious creations for my family.

{ Lara and Andrew }

Cucina was always available to us with any questions we had. Thank you for all the help in getting us our dream kitchen. We greatly appreciate all you did!

{ Vicki and John }

Our kitchen is fantastic. After raising two boys and cooking in the smallest kitchen, we brought life back by removing a wall and gaining an island.

{ Carol and John }

Without Cucina’s diligent help, making us feel so special, we couldn’t have done the remodel. I didn’t have a clue what to do in my kitchen, but they came out and drew up a plan and all of a sudden it looked good to me. They took a personal interest in us and worked with us to learn more of what we wanted.

{ Barbara }

We are so proud of our new kitchen; we show it off frequently to all our friends, neighbors and family! The insights and guidance were instrumental in ensuring that we not only had a kitchen we could brag about, but functioned beyond our expectations.

{ Peter }

I love the simplicity and elegance of my kitchen. I travel all over the world and it’s one of the most comfortable kitchens I have ever used.

{ Georgia }

Your hard work, your wonderful recommendations, savings us $$$ and creating our beautiful kitchen is priceless! We are so grateful.

{ Norma and Gary }

We love the design concept you created for our kitchen – it has truly transformed our home! We also greatly appreciate your directness, accessibility and enthusiasm for this project. You approached the remodel of our kitchen as if it was your own.

{ Mia }

The results amaze us everyday. We called Cucina for a consultation on how we could spruce up our kitchen and bath. By the time they left, we wanted to do it all.

{ Silvia and Paul }

We couldn’t be happier with the results. I wanted to thank you for the wonderful new kitchen that you designed for us. It’s better than we could have expected. All the extra details that you took care of are showing up for us everyday.

{ Fred }

The layout is our favorite feature in our kitchen. We love it! We would have never moved the fridge to the other side but it all works flawlessly!

{ Janel }

Why hire a well seasoned design firm? Because they can see things the homeowner can’t. Eliminating the hallway allowed us to have a beautiful island and much more storage than we had imagined. Cucina’s cabinetry almost matches our original built in and their contractor was a true craftsman and such a delight. We couldn’t be happier.

{ Janet }

From our initial consultation, we knew that CUCINA was the company  whom we could trust. We were also fortunate that they managed the project for us. Lisa’s general contractor was polite, diligent, and knowledgeable. The CUCINA team also managed the permits and inspections for us which we would have found overwhelming.

{ Michael & Jennifer }

Lisa Cannelora provided excellent creative direction and oversight, advising us on every aspect of the project. The results of their work exceeded all our expectations.

{ Christina }

I was very anxious about the whole process anticipating all the disruption. We had been told to expect an 8-10 week job and it actually took about 7 weeks. Lisa knew where to go, she had relationships with the vendors and she provided great helpful input. Because of her background as a chef, she knew exactly what I needed. Cooking and baking now is so much more fun!

{ Sari and Jeff }

We are very specific about who works in our home.  We were so amazed with how well the design turned out. We could not have had a better contractor experience if it weren’t for Cucina’s referral. Cucina is our go-to designer.

{ Kathleen & Vern }

Lisa’s expertise, creativity, and exceptional attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Her experience as a chef added an invaluable dimension to the project, because she understands how to achieve optimal efficiency and functionality in a kitchen space. She also did a great job of providing us with a range of options, but not too many that it became overwhelming. Lisa’s commitment to quality and her ability to bring in top-notch contractors truly elevated the entire renovation experience.

{ Ari & Erin }

We are so grateful to CUCINA for this awesome design. We could never have imagined this ourselves. Their contractor was stellar, on time and budget. We are thrilled beyond belief.

{ Erin and Mark }

This is my dream come true!  People should not try to do this themselves!!

{ Hana and Barry }

Got kinks? After an active day of athletics, we no longer have them due to our wonderful steam shower.

{ Andy }

We had a great experience. Cucina was able to take all of our ideas and create a kitchen perfect for our needs. Also, the quoted estimate was very close to actual cost. Cucina’s contractor was great, friendly, and easy to work with. We were back in our kitchen in 2 months. I highly valued the Project Management service.

{ Harold }

I love to cook and everyday in my old kitchen I said, “I hate this kitchen!” Not a day goes by that I don’t exclaim Cucina’s kitchen. Everything has a place so my counters are clear and I can really COOK!

{ Nancy }

We loved the direction and service we received from Cucina. Our designer was always available for our questions and concerns. She helped us with all aspects of our remodel; cabinets, hardware, flooring, tile, granite, and even the paint color for the kitchen. Her guidance really took the pressure off of us. The result is a beautiful kitchen that will never go out of style.

{ Donna }

You went above and beyond and led me to some fabulous decisions and kept me calm along the way.

{ Jen }

Your attention to detail saved us on numerous occasions!

{ Beth and Greg }

It was such a pleasure to work with you. Cucina’s service made this project “painless.”

{ Carmen }

Cucina listened to our needs as a family for a functional active kitchen. I was a kitchen designer in a former life and love everything about the design.

{ Kris }

Thank you for my beautiful kitchen. Every morning I come downstairs and each time I am surprised – still! It’s such a beautiful home – it deserved a beautiful kitchen.

{ Karen }

Your coordination of the work in progress greatly expedited the job. Each time we use the kitchen we appreciate your design more and more.

{ Ken and Jenny }

Cucina saved the day by revamping our original design. Our kitchen is so functional. Everything is accessible and practical. Not a day goes by that I don’t say thanks!

{ Matt }

From your flexibility to your creativity, we thank you for everything– not to mention your heroic effort with the stove and moving us in. You are truly amazing.

{ Mary }

The contractor and Cucina built three stunning baths that I know will stand the test of time. All three baths were seriously dated!

{ Georgia }

Our home is comforting and inspiring because of Cucina’s design coupled with the architect’s design. 28 years in the Coast Guard means water is my life. Our kitchen and dining room now encompass the Alameda Estuary. The Nanawall allows the entire backside house to open to the water.

{ Matt }

Our kitchen was dark and small. CUCINA convinced us to relocate the kitchen to the kids bedroom. Now we enjoy a large deck with steps to the backyard and sunsets overlooking the bay every day of the week. Brilliant!!

{ Kelly & Todd }

Their experience made this remodel easy for me.  They provided design ideas, sourced all the materials & had all the trades ready to go. Her team stayed involved with this project until completion. I will definitely use CUCINA again and recommend them highly.

{ Terri }

We have had nothing but excellent service, advice, and partnership from CUCINA. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, but also very creative in finding solutions to fit exactly what you need. CUCINA is responsive, professional and “on it”. They will drive the schedule and make sure everything follows the timeline.

{ Carol & Parker }

Words cannot describe how critical Lisa and her staff were to our kitchen remodel in 2022. She provided best in class service with her follow-up and ability to pivot on a dime. Suggestions paid off tremendously. Lisa led us thru a complex maze of processes and timelines without pushing anything on us that we didn’t agree to or felt uncomfortable with. CUCINA knows the industry inside out and has a fantastic list of contacts who will stop at nothing short of 100% satisfaction.

{ Phil & Tiffany }

Lisa has a crew of dependable people whom she works with to ensure that our kitchen was done in less than 90 days (and we took the kitchen down to the studs). Lisa planned the budget and the timing of every detail. It was seamless! The entire experience was completely painless.

{ Rhonda & Duncan }

Lisa’s design transformed my mother’s home to make it feel like mine. It created the sophistication to match the quality of our family art collection. I love all the work she and her contractor did. The place looks fabulous!

{ Lawrence }

Thanks to this amazing team of true professionals our house was not only rebuilt but restored! Many vintage details we kept while improving and adding many modern conveniences. We are forever grateful.
