What People Are Saying About Cucina di Pesce

Citysearch
In Short – This convivial, unprepossessing Italian seafood joint, signalled by a giant neon fish, attracts a faithful following from outside the city as well as within. Sidewalk seating and a skylit back room add a bit of charm. Specialties of the house include black linguine with shrimp, asparagus, and Pernod; and broiled sea bass with capers, fennel, and tomatoes. A few vegetarian, chicken, and veal dishes are offered for fish-phobes. Overcrowding can result in dilatory service, but loyalists say it's worth it. – – –
AWESOME dinner party
by ck0007
WOW - this place is awesome to have a dinner party! I planned my friend's bachelorette party dinner here for 14 girl and we loved it. We had a large table set us in the back and the waitstaff and management were attentive and provided great service for the whole night. The pre-fixe menu we decided beforehand along with the 2 hours unlimited wine/beer price made it a no-frills and easy night for all. The food was delicious, a great value and awesome portions. I couldn't have asked for anything more! THANK YOU.
- Pros: Great food & value, friendly staff, group parties
- Cons: Cash/Amex only
Good neighborhood italian food
by venya
Over the past 2 years, I've eaten here maybe a dozen times. Each time a good experience. There hasn't been a recent review of this place in over a year, so I wanted share my opinion.
Whether sitting outside, or in the cozy, albeit dark interior, the restaurants offers diners a good meal in terms of menu, service and atmosphere. I've tried about 5 different appetizers and dishes, and every one has managed not to disappoint. Prices are fair for the neighborhood, and service always good. I think they're probably good with larger groups but I've only been with 2-3 other people. Give it a try!
- Pros: Food, service, ambiance
- Cons: none
PACKET PASTA
by jiw76
In a word, TERRIBLE!!!
My first impression was developed by a bar maid who seemed to be there to socialize rather than serve. With a rather empty bar to serve drinks to she found it was more important to talk to friends/fellow staff than take care of business and do what she was being paid to do.
It got worse. We ordered pasta and to my astonishment this so called ?Italian eatery? serves it patrons PACKET PASTA!!! I had one taste and asked the manager to confirm this, he said no. I called him out and he then admitted that it was?WHAT A DISGRACE!!!
My pasta dish was being served as an authentic, home made Italian dish but it turned out it was Packet Pasta?they should be ashamed of themselves?disappointment and highly recommend avoiding this place.
- Pros: Lighting - can't see the food
- Cons: Taste - food is terrible
