This is a MUST TRY if you’re in the area. Honestly when we arrived and saw a house, we were so impressed by the use of space. They made us feel so welcome. The food was amazing. Nothing overcooked and well seasoned. Alicia took such good care of us. My family had: salmon, Bolognese, lasagne, chicken Mediterranean, calamari, bruschetta, and to end the oreo cheesecake and tiramisus(desert was just okay). We all left thinking when can we come back.

We recently hosted a party at this restaurant, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel taken care of. The planning was effortless, the communication was clear, and they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect.
The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and enjoyed by everyone. The atmosphere was warm and festive, and the team handled everything with professionalism and genuine kindness. Our guests kept commenting on how great the service was and how smoothly the entire event ran.
If you’re looking for the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, look no further. This restaurant delivered an unforgettable experience, and we can’t thank them enough! Highly, highly recommend.

We love la cucina! Our go to place to bring out of town visitors because it’s consistently great food, service and the specials menu can’t be beat. Love that we can come at anytime and always find a variety but also always have great classic Italian dishes.

Great service, food was plentiful, and flavorful, although the atmosphere some might say rustic or classic due to it being a general store, others may see dated, but that did not interfer with my ability to stuff my face.

On the outside, this restaurant doesn’t look like that much but the food and service were outstanding! When we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted by many Friendly Smiles and it felt as if we were coming to an Italian family dinner.
Highly recommend the mozzarella en carozza… simply delicious! And I don’t think I’ve ever had better marinara sauce. It was that perfect balance of fresh and savory, and went well with everything that we ordered. I mean, we didn’t try it on the dessert but it was so good I wouldn’t completely rule it out! My wife got the pork, and I got the veal parm. Both were outstanding. And the homemade tiramisu was probably the best I’ve ever had.
We did not have to wait long for our food, and the waitress came by regularly and was very friendly. In fact, all of the workers were very polite and professional. It was a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to go back!

Went to lunch at this place- great food and great service. An old building on the old Morris Canal with LOTS of history. Great selection of unique Italian dishes and some regular ones. Everything seemed fresh and was very tasty. No liquor license but BYOB is accepted. They did have wine glasses and were able to open my bottle of wine w/o issue. YAY!
Go enjoy a great lunch/dinner in a casual atmosphere.

True New Jersey (authentic) Italian BYOB. COVID thankfully hasn’t taken a hit on the quality of the food here, like many restaurants.
Come ready and come hungry. This isn’t fancy Italian, but the best kind isn’t. Like your Italian grandmother, she’s going to stuff you with amazing food, and then still refill your plate…again and again. But it’s worth every bite.
The bruschetta is large and fantastically flavorful (four large pieces on fresh bread).
The fried calamari is with big “O”s and without tentacles; the two sauces – sweet snd spicy – are a nice touch.
The chicken parmigiana and eggplant rollatini come essentially in the same format – massive and with a LOT of cheese (expect leftovers).
The clams linguine is accompanied with 20+ baby clams and great flavor; just be careful, the sauce will splatter if you’re not careful.
The unexpected winner was the rigatoni Christina (swapped out the rigatoni for capellini which soaked the sauce right up *chefs kiss*) – the mushrooms add an umami complexity to the prosciutto and plum sauce with an added touch of peas.
Can’t wait to come back!

Haven’t been since well before my mom died in 2009. It was one of her favorite places. So upset with myself for waiting this long. The service was spectacular. The food was as well! All the staff seemed genuinely happy to have us. Calamari was cooked to perfection (I’d have liked some tentacles, but that’s ok). My entree, Veal La Cucina, was so tasty! My whole family enjoyed and we will return soon!
