Went for a group event. They did a nice job, the food was delicious, and the service was good.
Vegetarian options: Check with the server as they can prepare some dishes vegetarian that are otherwise not.
Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate, but not sure about nuts.
Parking: On 57th street, nearly impossible to find a spot close enough.
Kid-friendliness: Can work for kids with an early seating.
Wheelchair accessibility: It's below grade, I believe they have elevators, but call ahead to make sure.

You hear stories about restaurant staff catering your experience to your surrounding life events, but they really do it well at Cucina 8 1/2. I was in NYC for the first time on a work trip and once they found that out, I was receiving suggestions on places to go, monuments to explore & general guidance on how the city works. Ending off the meal I was greeted by the general manager, who gave me a dive into their relationships with their vendors, and even sent me back to the midwest with some of their special Martini glasses.
The food was phenomenal and the service was outstanding. It was a wonderful dining experience and I will be returning.

Really enjoyed getting into character for a dinner at a well known establishment as this. The food was really pleasant to enjoy as well as the drinks. Service was not up to part as expected but the decor and vibe within the establishment made up for it. Definitely would recommend for anyone who enjoys a nice night out with good food. See the video on Instagram @jadaexploresall to see my experience!

Celebrating a birthday is always a special occasion here! The personalized menu & birthday cake are such a special touch! All of the staff make you feel welcomed, important and valued. The side table chicken Cesar salad is one of our favorite and never gets old!

It was a beautifully relaxing atmosphere. Elizabeth was top notch as the hostess and the rest of the staff was excellent - professional, personable, attentive and no rushing. We went for a birthday lunch on a Saturday, party of two. They made the celebration very special - above and beyond. The food and drinks were exceptional. We will return and have already recommended to friends and family. We are picky and this is a special place all around.

We had an absolutely amazing dinner experience.
Liz and her team were beyond incredible, professional, kind and simply wonderful. Everyone made our dinner and elevated experience.
The food as always was absolutely delicious, fresh and plated well.
In celebrating my grandmas 73rd birthday, the Cucina team did so many things to help make her feel special- a birthday she will always remember. Thank you!
10/10 recommend Cucina to any and everyone.
Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate a fish/seafood and nut allergy.
BEST CHOICE EVER. We celebrated our friends bachelorette night here for dinner and it was the best experience ever! The custom detail to celebrate our girl, the amazing staff and the delicious food made it the perfect start to our night! The food portions were perfect for us, the instrumental/live music & beautiful location made us feel regal! They had great cocktails AND mocktail options for our girls who don't drink. 10/10 all around! Will come back in a heart beat next time we're in NY
