Reviews
If you want, homemade Italian food with the grandma like feel, I highly recommend try this place out in the heart of nutley!
They are known for their arincini balls in vodka sauce, so I had to try them, and they were super delicious! I also tried their homemade meatballs with a side of ricotta and crostini. I also enjoyed the Caesar salad, which had a lot of dressing, which I love.
For dinner I had the chicken vodka Parm, and it was so incredible! Also my friend got the spaghetti and meatballs, so good like someone’s grandma made them ! If you haven’t been to this place yet it’s a must!
Great food and service! We celebrated my sister's birthday for a party of 12. Victoria provided excellent customer service! As you can see by my photo we left no crumbs!
My fiancé and I had our engagement dinner in the dining room area for approximately 56 people. It was such an amazing experience. The food was delicious from appetizers to entrees everyone loved it. Of course, I have to mention the excellent service between Juan, Andrés, and Karey. They were so welcoming and always checked up on our guests.
I totally recommend it!
Went here for the first time on 1/3/24 with my fiancé and aunt-in-law. The chicken fettuccine was amazing and so delicious. It was the right consistency and made so well. The dining area was so gorgeous with the Christmas decor and ambiance. I will definitely be back again soon when I’m back in town!
I did go to Cucina 355 couple days ago for dinner after long day of volunteer work for Independent seniors living. I went to the restaurant with 2 friends and we had really good experience. The food was delicious, we got different plates to share and all of them were excellent!!!
The waiter if I am not wrong his name is Andres was awesome. We asked him for recommendations and we were very impressed he knew the menu very well and was able to do good suggestions. Also the other guys were very nice too. Good team!!! My friends and I will come back soon!!!
I went to a birthday party at 530 Sunday . All 15 of us directed to table by the front window. After we all arrived and were having a glass of wine we were told that they seated us on the wrong table and we need to move So we get up and moved .Appetizers are put out,Rice balls, and calamari and salad .We had to ask for the marinara sauce because none was put out with the calamari.Dinner was family style and we were told to keep our fork and knife because there was no other silverware.Coffee was served by the cup and no sugar or sweetener was put out till we asked for it.Service was fair at best.We were only 15 people..To me it appeared that this was the first time the wait staff had a group of 15.I dont know who owns Cucina but maybe having 3 groups in one evening needs a manager there also .The waitresses were kind but definitely overwhelmed.Also this family style was very expensive for the service that was rendered.
Excellent vodka sauce.
Got a gluten free penne (theirs was smaller than regular penne) and requested to add grilled chicken, broccoli and mushrooms. So good!
Penne was a touch overcooked but overall everything was very flavorful. Chicken was grilled to perfection and nicely caramelized.
This place is my town Italian restaurant. The attire is great for family gathering, events and celebration. The food there are good. I really like their sautéed spinach and their meat balls 😋 aside from their fullfiling Pizza that my kids love more than any other brand around. I like this place for a Friday evening week off with my family and I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
