The service and food at Cucina 355 are both spectacular. I had been to some of their other restaurants and the pasta at all of them is amazing. Can’t get enough of the pappardelle bolognese.
They have a sit down restaurant as well as tables next to a pizza slice counter. There were a number of group dining so this is a good spot for a family meal.

This is a great restaurant to visit with your friends, your family on a date or if you’re just craving some really great fresh pastas. Amazing chicken dishes, some really unique delicious pizzas, or just don’t feel like cooking. The thin skinny pizza is excellent, don’t skip out on an affogato and be sure to tip the staff well!.

So I hadn’t been here since my 40th Birthday Party which was amazing 8 years ago. Not sure what happened but I can say with certainty that I will not be back. The only positive about what was once was is the Decor, Cleanliness and our waitress whose name was Kara or Terry. I forget.
We arrived around 530 for our reservation. Maybe about 3 tables were in use as it was on the early side.
My wife and in-laws opted for dinner and I chose to get a chicken cutlet Sandwhich and French Fries. Was a little longer wait than I had expected but no big deal. When the food arrived, all together which was a plus. My sandwich was missing the melted cheese I had asked for. A simple fix that should have taken no more than 2 minutes MAX.
So I started on my French fries. Asked for ketchup and the guy brings me a bottle with less than a 1/2 squirt in it. Seemed to be a lot of tension with the staff so I didn’t bother to even ask for another bottle.
Fast forward to a 1/2 an hour later while my family’s food leftovers are already in a box, my sandwich comes out. Yeah they took it off the bill but something so simple to fix coming out at the end of everyone else’s meal is not only unacceptable, but it’s unforgivable. Completely ruined the nice night we were anticipating to have.
As far as the other food, my wife enjoyed her chicken dish, my father in law enjoyed his as well, and my mother in law barely ate hers because the veal was tough.

Great Pizza!
My experience at Cucina 355 was top notch. The atmosphere was amazing with really beautiful Christmas decorations and a very comfortable and family-like vibe. The food was SO GOOD! We had 2 salads, the pear-shaped pasta, the chicken parm, the tiramisu, the ice cream, and the fresh, house-made cannoli and it was all exceptional. My favorite were the salad with the house made, fresh mozzarella and chicken parm which was thr perfect level of crispness and balance of flavors. The service was so warm, friendly, and attentive! I'll definitely be coming back!

Don’t give your phone number to this place!!! They will text you relentlessly with promotions. Food is very good, though.
FANTASTIC. authentic Italian pasta. Rice balls were delicious and moist. Beet salad was outstanding. Orecchiette with broccoli rabe marvelous. Server was best in NJ. Hidden gem in Nutley

The food was alright but it is very italian-american style vs italian style food. The homemade orecchiette was good and the sauce on it was good. My date got some seafood with red sauce on pasta and I did not like his meal at all. The sauce was watery and there was not much seafood. The waitress was very nice. The bread in the beginning was flavorless. The fried calamari was a little chewy like it was either overcooked or a frozen premade fried calamari.

Bread had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Waitress was lovely but a bit too chatty when we were repeatedly requesting the check. We didn't need to hear stories about her grandkids shared w people at the next table when we needed to leave. She meant well, however.

First time here Sorry must have been a off night. They lost our order when it came out the gravy on the pasta was pure water. My dinner was horrible we waited for a long time. The waitress offered us dessert on the house. We just wanted to get out of there. First an last time and it was my birthday dinner.
