A+ start to finish. Amir planned to perfection and his installation crew executed (also to perfection). There was not a detail missed. Couldn't be happier with our new kitchen!!

Being a construction manger, I have worked with Amir at Kuche Cucina for years. I recently had the pleasure of doing my own kitchen with them and it was as wonderful experience as the homeowners I work with have said. He and his staff provided professional service and innovative ideas to create a dream kitchen for me and my family. The knowledge and variety they offer is second to none. Thank you!

We worked with Kuche + Cucina for a kitchen remodel in Manhattan and also worked with another renovation group for the rest of the apartment. We really enjoyed working with Carmi to establish the design and that process was very painless and flexible. We were set to start on renovations in early 2020 however with COVID, we had to delay our renovations due to the building's policy. Kuche+Cucina was super understanding and held our cabinets for us until we were ready and felt comfortable with proceeding with renovations given the circumstances.
However, the main reason that this is a 3 star

So we are building a house. We were in the market for counter tops. We were building in the area so we went in. I don't remember the occasion but I was in jeans and a sweatshirt and my wife in Yoga pants. The blonde haired saleswoman asked us what kind of cabinets we had and she said "oh i wouldn't tell people that, they are cheap" then she immediately became disinterested and just let us kind of wander. Then she got another worker a dark haired woman who said "you can still make your house look nice even though you don't spend any money" and made some reference

For the last 10 years, my wife was asking for her new dream kitchen. We asked our trusted contractor Mike K. for the best kitchen designer in the area. He recommended a couple of kitchen contractors but indicated that Kuche+Cucina designer is the best one in the Bergen County area. We called the owner, Amir Ilin, directly and dealt with him during the whole process. He asked about our budget (app. 50-60K) and explained how we will work with these numbers. He explained type of cabinets, counter tops and accessories we could afford. He also explained that if we needed an electrician, plumber or

I had high expectations for how our kitchen would turn out and it has truly exceeded our expectations and the credit goes to the experts at Kuche Cucina. They helped with every detail and gave expert advice that averted all kinds of mistakes. Everything Amir recommended was spot and actually perfect. He realized our natural lighting was very limited and came up with the fantastic idea of placing windows for the back splash which added the perfect touch and everyone who sees the kitchen LOVES it. Highly recommend them, they will not disappoint!

WOW! Have you seen their showroom? This place is a hidden gem! No expense is spared to showcase their fabulous cabinets and how you can incorporate them with appliances, counter tops, sinks, fixtures, door handles, etc. I didn't need to go to Pinterest or Houzz to pull together the details or get any new ideas. Kuche Cucina has it all right there and their knowledgeable and friendly staff helped bring it perfectly together to incorporate my taste and space. They also guided me on the trends to watch out for that will be long lived and short lived so I can make the most informed decision. They made
