Changes have been brewing at Cucina Italian Restaurant, 725 E. Woodlake Rd. in Kohler. That's thanks to influence brought to the restaurant by chef and manager Bill Terranova, who began his tenure in late 2016.

Terranova, whose experience includes work at restaurants in both New York and Chicago, most recently as part of the opening team at La Storia. But he says he credits Chef Cesare Casella of New York's Salumeria Rosi with being his chief mentor when it comes to Italian cuisine and culture.
