Let me start by saying we were loyal customers for many years. We always enjoyed taking friends and family here. Their specials were amazing and the house brown sauce for the fried calamari was by far one of the best things I ever had. With that being said our last visit was nothing but a DISASTER!!
We arrived on Saturday night around 7pm with family members. I was expecting the place to be packed and were prepared to wait. The place was EMPTY!!! Only a few tables were full and a small party in the back. We were given menus and asked for the specials. To our surprise there weren't any. We were also told that they were out of veal and many of the seafood options. WHAT??? THERE WAS NO ONE HERE?? We placed our orders which by the way were hand written on a note pad. When the food did finally arrive it was cold and HORRIBLE. I ordered penne with vodka sauce. It tasted like jar sauce! The rest of our party ordered the Sunday sauce which tasted burnt and flavorless. I ordered seltzer with my meal and there were black specs floating in it. The others in our party ordered wine which tasted like it was out of a box. When we were done with our meal 2 big roaches scurried across the wall next to us. GROSS!! ?? The "manager" who looked like he was barely legal offered us dessert and coffee. At this point we just wanted to leave! He gave us the bill and then proceeded to tell us that their credit card machine is "not working" and it's cash only! WHY WEREN'T WE TOLD THIS WHEN WE SAT DOWN??? Good thing we had cash on us! It's so sad to see this place go downhill. You can tell the owner doesn't care. We will never come here again!

I know I've called a lot of my reviews "awesome" but this place takes the cake. The owner, the waiters, the atmosphere and the food just came together for probably the best dining experience I have Ever had. If you have never been to this place do yourself a favor and go here. It was a fixed menu, but the food was delicious. The owner was walking around talking to us and others but not being a nuisance. The waiters were spot on the way they took our orders and served the food. It's hard to explain just go there for yourself and see. You won't be disappointed...

Great food. Very good service. But the restaurant is dated. Chipped walls. Weird entrance. Very dark. The silverware and cups are old too. Again, the food is great. But the space needs a major update.

We had a surprise birthday party for my dad this past weekend at Nucci’s. Paul and his staff, John & John, were nothing short of wonderful. Super nice, and accommodating. Allowed us to set up some decorations, Paul was super kind and able to alert us when my dad got there and walked him in. Service was excellent and food was so good!! We all had a great time. Highly recommend Nucci’s for a simple night out or your next party!!

I attended a party as a guest at this place. The food was not horrible, but it was bland. It was a holiday party, there was almost no decor. The biggest problem I had was cleanliness. The linens were dirty, I don't mean stained.. I mean stuff stuck onto them. I would not recommend or return.
Parking: The location is in a small plaza that definitely does not have enough parking spots to accommodate for even a small party.

Our second time at Nucci's in 2 weeks. The owner was very accommodating and the service was great. When ordering, we asked to share some entrees and everything was brought out family style, which we appreciated. Food was great and plentiful. Will definitely continue to give them our business.

The tables were dirty. There was no lock on the bathroom door. They did not have enough food. To be clear, I attended a corporate holiday party. But I felt like they got the food catered. The food was bland. It's just not a place I will go back to or recommend.

We had a great experience at Nuccis. The service was great, food was amazing and very accommodating and reasonably price. We had an abundance of food left over. He makes more than enough food if given the right head count. We did a family style sit down( large bowls on the entire table and everyone helped themselves). I’m glad Paul is back in business after his stoke and making successful strides in his recovery. Best of luck!
