Cucina 355 - Nutley

My friends and I have been here a few times for our birthday celebrations. However, this last time the gnats were a bit much. We were told that it was because of our wine but another table chimed in and said they have them by them and they do not have wine. Our server (who probably thought we were crazy) was great and he moved us and then we moved again into the pizza area. We still saw them and swatted them away but they weren’t as bad. We love the place but the gnats need to get under control as it very hard to have a conversation let alone enjoy a good meal with them flying around. I hope this helps!!!

Food was good and plentiful, the mini rice balls were really good and not so mini, the fried raviolis were not what I expected though they were good, it looked like an entree coming out rather than a starter. There is a wall that separates the dining room from the take out side, which had six tables. There was a big party in the dining room that was a little loud so we asked to sit away from them and they accommodated us no problem. The food value is on point. Would come back here again.

What a fantastic find! They allow you to bring your own alcohol as well! The food was delicious with generous portions, and the staff was friendly. The only downside is that it can get quite noisy when the restaurant is busy, but I will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is fantastic for bringing your own alcohol. We come here about once a month and are always satisfied. Jose is an excellent server and a wonderful person!

My experience at Cucina 355 was overall enjoyable. The service provided by the young waitress was exceptional, she was very attentive. However, the noise level was extremely high, probably the worst I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Three large groups were seated near our table, making it difficult to have a conversation without having to touch my friend or raise my voice. It would be beneficial for them to consider installing noise-absorbing materials in the dining room. I will need to carefully consider whether I will return in the future.
