" This was my family’s first visit to Cucina Fresca, and it definitely won’t be our last! The meal started with an incredible antipasto platter; it was fresh and packed with flavor. The pasta dishes were out of this world—so fresh and perfectly cooked. The owner even shared some of the cooking secrets, which was a fun addition! The atmosphere is cozy, very much a family-oriented place. I left with a full belly and a very happy heart. 10/10 would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cucina Fresca exceeded my expectations! The ambiance was quaint, perfect for a romantic dinner. The stuffed mushrooms we ordered were heavenly and the main courses were robust in flavors. However, we had to wait a bit since it was crowded, and the seating was a little cramped. But the hospitable service made up for any minor inconveniences. I will definitely be back to enjoy more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cucina Fresca is my new favorite Italian restaurant in Staten Island! The owner, Frank, is as passionate about his food as he is about his guests. The homemade pasta is a must-try, and their daily specials showcase delightful creativity. The service was quick and friendly, but a bit noisy when busy. The desserts varied, but we were too full to try any this time. Can’t wait to return for another fabulous meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Cucina Fresca after hearing my friends rave about it! I wasn't disappointed—the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for families or a date night. The owner is hands-on, which adds to the charm. The pappardelle was rich and flavorful, and I loved the complimentary bread they served. It's those little touches that really elevate the dining experience here. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Cucina Fresca enough! I was welcomed like family and treated to an evening of authentic Italian food that left my tastebuds dancing. The ravioli were delicate and fresh, and the owner made sure to explain all the ingredients and the cooking methods. It’s BYOB, so we enjoyed a lovely bottle of red with our meal. Great service and the prices are reasonable. Definitely worth revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cucina Fresca last week, and I was blown away. The attention to detail in the dishes was remarkable. We started with the calamari, which was light and crispy. For the mains, I opted for the risotto, which was creamy and full of flavor. The service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The ambiance was also charming—perfect for a romantic dinner. I’ll certainly be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience at Cucina Fresca! The homey touch is felt from the moment you walk in. The liver and onions I ordered took me back to my childhood; it’s not often you find such a classic dish on the menu. The attention from the staff was exceptional, making sure our glasses were full and our plates were cleared promptly. I highly recommend this place to anyone who desires authentic Italian food!
