Was here for a family party on a Saturday afternoon.
I definitely enjoyed the family style appetizers, the fried calamari came with an interesting dark, spicy sauce, not your typical marinara, although that was also there. The penne all a vodka was good but I didn't feel the sauce was too well integrated into the pasta, just kind of thrown on. The salad was kind of bleh, like the kind you pull out of a dole bag.
Since it's known as a pizza spot I guess that is their thing.
We had a few different pies, the regular, a margarita, a clam pie and a pie with red sauce and sausage that was by far the winner. The clam pie was ok, just kind of seemed like a white pie with not too many clams on it.
The service was great, everyone was hospitable and happy to fill your glass and get you whatever you needed.
Maybe i'm missing something here but I am just not that enthralled with this place. Admittedly I have never had the pizza here and the reviews seem to be mostly about the pizza but the entrees leave a lot to be desired.
I've had the Chicken Parm, Chicken Francaise, and the Calamari and linguine here and I just think my place in Elizabeth is better, (See my review for Torna A Sorrento). The potato croquette is uninspired and bland and the side veggies were over steamed and mushy. I would have given this place 2 stars but there are 2 reasons that I'm giving it 3:
1.) Most Importantly- I am afraid I'm going to get whacked for my less than stellar review of the place
2.) The Calamari really is pretty good here
If for whatever reason you see me name in the newspaper for having died from an "unfortunate accident", tell my mother that I love her 🙂
I am writing this review for the pizza at Nucci's. I have never had the opportunity to try their dinners.
Nucci' s is located in a small strip mall a short distance from the Outerbridge Crossing. I have had their regular pie and broccoli rabe pie. They are both excellent. The rabe pie is a sauceless pie . Its made with muzz and ricotta cheese with a perfect portion of rabe on it. This pie taste amazing! The ricotta is soo rich and creamy. Definitely one of the best specialty pies I have ever tasted.
The staff is attententive and very friendly.
My friends threw my surprise wedding shower here and we had a great time. The staff let my mom bring her own wine and it was delicious. Really affordable too. They even let the bride stray from the preset menu!
Not impressed. The calamari were good and so was my lobster ravioli dish. However, the service needs a little revamping! Our waiter was an older jerk, who was very sarcastic and condescending. He had very little patience & clearly needs to find a new career path. Also, when we went it was freezing inside the restaurant, that I ate with my jacket on. Not to mention it was already cold outside. Nucci's North is much better in my opinion.
