As a designer , I have installed many kitchens in high end homes over the years. Amir from Kuche Cucina outshines all others. The quality, the service, the beautiful cabinetry and attention to the client's likes and dislikes are of the highest standard. Amir helps me execute all aspects of the kitchen including those that are not part of his responsibility. Amir's overriding goal is the long term satisfaction of the customer. And he has achieved that with all of my clients. It's a pleasure working with him.

Thank you [Member Name Removed]. Saddle River, NJ is one of our favorite towns to work in (it's just so beautiful!) and you guys are a pleasure to work with.

We worked with two other companies before visiting Kuche Cucina. We kept feeling like we were doing more of the design work than the actual kitchen designers and we needed a professional to tell us what we would need to do to achieve our goals, so we turned to Angie's list and discovered Kuche Cucina. The price was a little more than others but the amount of time we had to spend going back and forth planning the design was minimal. Angelo was a complete professional, with just a few alterations throughout the entire process and very little effort & time required by us, he was able to come up with a design that was appealing and useful. We have an older, slightly crooked house, the existing space was carefully analyzed, our goals were discussed and prioritized to update our kitchen and it is better than we could have ever hoped!

DID NOT DO ANY WORK FOR THIS PERSON. We ask that those of you reading our reviews would refer to reviews where the work was actually completed for the quality of our work. We have built our business on what is reflected in the many positive reviews we have received over the years from PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY HIRED US. You came in and asked for a design, telling us exactly what you wanted - we did it. You said "thanks" and left. Now, you gave us a 'D' because we "Just agreed with what [you] said and gave no suggestions to speak of"...?!? We sincerely regret that you have had a less than satisfactory experience with our company.

I really benefited from the design capability and one stop shopping of Kuche Cucina. Originally, I just wanted to go 'cheap' for counter tops. They taught me various options; and with redesign skills got me a much better end product, at very good cost. Plus they handle everything and oversee the work to my satisfaction. Much better than the "box store", where limited choice and no supervision of the "work".

The design was great and even though we had a 'smaller' budget, they were real pros and treated us as if we were spending a fortune. We used 'stock' cabinets for all 3 rooms but the design and the installation were great and well worth spending a few dollars more then what we saw in other stores. A few months after installation, one of the doors turned out to be defective - we called them and they replaced it within a week(!)

Not well as described above.
Description of Work: I went with my family to the Paramus showroom to talk with one of the employees about a smaller kitchen remodel. Throughout the entire conversation the employee was clearly not interested in the job as it only involved making two to three cabinets. In any event, the employee said they would get back to me the week after with some options and prices. I would have been fine if the employee had told me that they were not interested in the job, but instead I had to follow up a week and a half later (after not hearing from them) only to get an email with a price of $5000 for two cabinets and absolutely no detail or different options. I can not emphasize enough how much I do not recommend this establishment.

DID NOT DO ANY WORK FOR THIS PERSON. We ask that those of you reading our reviews would refer to reviews where the work was actually completed for the quality of our work. We sincerely regret that you have had a less than satisfactory experience with our company. We NEVER tell a customer their job is too small! We have customers that bought 2 cabinets from us and later came back for a full size kitchen... The part that really bothers us is that you post a negative review, when in reality you are not being honest... - You did not come in, looking for "two to three cabinets" (later in your review it was reduced to just 2...). You were very specific that you needed custom made cabinets, matching what you alreday have existing, including 2 special size drawer base cabinets, 2 glass cabinets above, a fully integrated dishwasher panel, fillers, etc. All delivered and installed. We still have your hand sketches... We calculated all the costs involved, in making exactly what you asked for and came up with a price to do the job. What "detail or different options" were you looking for...? You gave us the exact details and didn't ask for other options... Our price was very fair. Shame on you for posting lies! We have been in business for 30 years (!!!) and have supplied thousands of kitchens, in that period of time. We have built our business on what is reflected in the many positive reviews we have received over the years. See all the positive reviews of people that realize that quality work costs money and are thrilled with the results of our work.

K+C did an excellent job of listening to our concerns related to compatibility with the home's existing style and furnishings, producing a design that worked extremely well, with a couple of options for us to choose from, and then managed production and installation. After installation was complete, there were a couple of details that we wanted adjusted, and K+C was extremely accomodating in providing them. After completion, we decided that we wanted an additional corner bookcase of a somewhat complex shape, to create a transition from the bar area to the living room. Again, K+C provided a great design solution, as well as production and installation. We have considerable experience remodelling homes in southern and northern California over the past 30 years, and will say that K+C is the best we have worked with. It can be a challenge learning about new designers and trades in a different area, and this worked perfectly for us. We definitely look forward to working with K+C on future projects.

WE LOVE OUR NEW KITCHEN!!!!! We purchased a new house in Tenafly. After researching all the options for a European style modern kitchen in the Bergen County and New York City area, we ended up going with Kuche Cucina - they had a great product selection (incl. Pedini, that we fell in love with), knew exactly what we were looking for and had many great reviews online! From the minute we stepped into the Paramus showroom, we've been treated with professionalism and attention to every detail of our project... This is not our first kitchen and we had a good benchmark - Kuche Cucina raised the bar! We chose a high end modern, minimalist kitchen (white lacquer, frosted glass, etc.) and were very pleased with both the product, installation and overall value. During the installation their installer realized that one of the aluminum trim pieces was about 3" too short. We were most impressed that Kuche Cucina arranged for a new piece to be air freighted within 3 days - from Italy!!! We highly recommend Kuche Cucina!

My personal Angie's List account and the business one got mixed and 'blocked' the messages... Your message was not forwarded to my e mails and so I didn't see it... I hope you understand that this is a system glitch, on Angie's List behalf and will reconsider removing the bad review that will hurt our rating - we ALWAYS reply to ALL messages, regardless if we can do the job or not...

We were preparing to upgrade our kitchen prior to listing our home for sale. At our request Mr. Ilin came to our home, thoroughly evaluated the status of our kitchen, and discussed the details and potential cost of a first class remodeling. Although we ultimately decided not to remodel the kitchen in preparation for selling our home, we were very impressed with Mr. Ilin's professionalism and expertise. We would most definitely have chosen Kuche+Cucina to remodel our kitchen if we had decided to proceed with that project.

Designing and installing a new kitchen could be overwhelming, frustrating and quite costly. Trusting Kuche+Cucina was like winning the lottery! Nothing is too complicated and nothing is impossible for that company: Excellent design department, great style options, super professional attitude throughout the whole project time, pretty good delivery timeline (no horror stories about waiting and waiting and waiting for a shipment of parts from overseas), extremely well organized process of installation. We are very grateful to Amir - the company president - for providing such an excellent service and personally being involved in creating, placing orders and supervising the delivery. Amir designed and installed our kitchen about 4 years ago and to this day we are very pleased with the quality and looks of our kitchen and dining room space. We recommended Cuche+Cucina to everyone who complemented on our truly unique kitchen design. We wish Amir many many years in the business that he knows the best!

Kuche Cucina was recommanded to us by a friend from Chappaqua, NY. They claimed that it is well worth the trip (we live in Westchester County). They used Kuche Cucina for their own kitchen and it is very pretty. When we visted the showroom and saw the displays and met with the designer, we were sold! The kitchen was designed, delivered and installed on time and the staff at Kuche Cucina were great throughout. The end result is exactly what we wanted and though it wasn't cheap, other places we shopped at were at the same 'ball park'. Highly recommanded!!!
