Absolutely Amazing!

by Tammy12 at Citysearch

We have dined at this restaurant several times and have loved our experiences. The food is impeccable and the staff is very friendly. The menu offers a wide range of dishes to suit any taste, and tastes so great that you want to sample everything on the menu!

Recently, I hosted a surprise party for my husband and had asked Cucina Di Napoli to cater the event. I cannot put into words how wonderful everything was. My guests have been raving about the food ever since! I guarantee that no one left hungry! Everything was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be using their catering service for any future events that we have! We will also be visiting the restaurant again real soon! We can't get enough!

Highly recommended!!!

Thank you for everything!

Great Italian Restaurant, Great Food, Great Service

by btodd63 at Citysearch

My husband (an Italian) and I stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I have never written a review for anything but as soon as I left I wanted to send praises to this restaurant. We were greeted so friendly and promptly. They had a great selection of wines and very authentic Italian apps. entrees and desserts. They even custom blended two wines we like in a carafe. I honestly couldn't believe it. We have never gotten such great service from any restaurant. The decor is simple but nice. The service was great. I really feIt our server wanted us to have a great experience at the restaurant and cared that we enjoy everything. We noted that almost every server was really hustling and very friendly to tables around us.

We could taste that everything was made fresh. My basalmic dressing was the best I have ever had and the side salad was not your typical side. It had that little something extra that made it special. The tomato sauce on the pizza and my eggplant rollitini was also very fresh and homemade tasting. We asked to tweak a few things and our server said "absolutely" none of that "I'll check with the back and see". We finished off our lunch with a fabulous taramisu dessert and cappucinos. My family will definately be returning for lunch and dinner in the near future. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

• Pros: Total thumbs up!!

Best Italian Food on Main Street

by lrem1318 at Citysearch

Cucina di Napoli is a great restaurant for both lunch and dinner. The ambiance and atmosphere are pleasing, and on warm days, I would recommend sitting outside so you can watch everyone walking up and down Main Street. There is such a selection of delicious food, including pastas, chicken dishes, great pizza, sandwiches, and tasty salads. The portions are huge, and everything is always fresh and hot when served. The pizza is very good, and I would highly recommend it.

• Pros: food selection and taste, service, atmosphere

Best Italian restaurant in Newark!

by gmzanella at Citysearch

I LOVE this restaurant. Owned and run by Italians from the city of Naples (Napoli), this restaurant is the most authentic place around. The portions and the freshness of the ingredients are amazing. It's a great place to go for an inexpensive lunch (try their calzones, or grilled chicken wrap) or dinner (my favorites are the pasta primavera, penne alla vodka, chicken cacciatore, chicken marsala, baked ziti, etc.) After having lived in Italy for a while, I can say that this restaurant is very authentic. The waitstaff is always pleasant, as are the cooks/owners. This restaurant will go out of it's way to please you and make adjustments to any plates that you might want. The bruschetta is the best around-give them a try, it'll definitely be worth your while!

• Cons: The FOOD!, atmosphere, value
