They closed the one here, if y'all get one, have a Chili 5-way for me!

Cucina's is free at lunch, and IMO, not very good. But, everyone that goes for dinner loves it. We REALLY like JiJi's, which again is free for lunch (Mongolian Wok), but extra for dinner and well worth the $$$. It's not fair to compare the lunch with dinner at these specialty restaurants.

 

I guess I'm the Bronx born Italian who didn't like my two dinners at Carnival's Cucina.  I enjoyed the antipasto appetizer, but hated the chicken parm hockey puck and the shrimp dish.

 

I think the Cucina is on a par with Olive Garden, and I don't eat there either.  Tough after being spoiled with Grandma's homemade gravy and pasta and eating at Arthur Ave. or other Bronx-Italian restaurants.

 

Good authentic Southern Italian peasant food won't be found in Cucina or OG.  But hey, if you like it, go enjoy!  My opinion shouldn't affect yours.

I'm sure if I grew up with genuine Italian cooking, nothing else would compare either!!! Unfortunately I'm an American mutt. 😎

They've closed all but 1 here as well. I hate it because it's great for late food. I love their Parmesan fries.
