" Cucina Fresca is a small but mighty Italian restaurant! I love how the owners combine authenticity with a welcoming vibe. Their eggplant Parmesan was delicious, layered with rich sauce and melty cheese. The only downside was a somewhat limited dessert menu; I hope they add more special desserts in the future! The attentive service and cozy atmosphere make this place a wonderful spot for family gatherings. Can’t wait to return next month! " (*Curated Review*)

" If it’s quality Italian food you’re after, look no further! Cucina Fresca has truly authentic dishes that bring you back to the Italian countryside. We had the pappardelle and the gnocchi, and each bite was heavenly. The staff was friendly, treating us like family from the moment we walked in. Definitely bring your favorite wine, as it’s BYOB, and make a reservation since the place is always busy. We’ll be making this a regular spot for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cucina Fresca is a little gem on Staten Island. I’ve been experimenting with different Italian restaurants, and let me tell you, this one rates at the top for both quality and authenticity. The chicken parmesan was a culinary masterpiece! It was tender and smothered in a rich homemade sauce. Frank, the owner, came by to check on us, which made the experience feel more personal. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving true Italian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an excellent experience at Cucina Fresca. The food was delicious—authentic Italian at its finest. Frank really knows how to make his guests feel welcome, which absolutely enhances the dining experience. I ordered the seafood linguine, which was delightful but slightly salty. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, but a little noisy since it was crowded. Still, we'll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Cucina Fresca was the highlight of our trip to Staten Island! We enjoyed the homemade lasagna which was fantastic, layered with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Frank, the owner, shared the stories behind the recipes which made our meal all the more enjoyable. The service was quick, with a friendly staff who ensured we had everything we needed. This place is definitely worth a visit; it has the comforting feel of a family-run Italian restaurant! " (*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!
