Some of the most authentic Italian food I've ever eaten!
Delicious pizza! You have to try to Cucina a modo mio pie. To die for.
All the chefs and pizza artists are straight from Italy.
I will be there again soon. - LoveToEat Z.New York, NY936615242/1/2015
You can feel the love of the owner to this restaurant when you stepped into it. Â You are surrounded by numerous objects on the walls and the ceiling. Â There was a table celebrating a birthday and the staff did the normal thing to carryout a piece of cake with candle and sang the birthday song. Â What made this place special was the owner also pull the line with the cow bells hanging from the ceiling to make a series of bell rings for the celebration.....cute!
Let talk about food.....
Wine - Thanks to Yelpers and ordered the house wine and it was really nice! - 4 stars, will order again Â
Bread - The basket had two different loaves of bread and both were really good. Â Came with a dish of olive oil with herb and also a dish of butter (nice butter). Â Did not have any problem when requesting balsamic vinegar to spice up the olive oil - 4 stars
Appetizer - Octopus salad ($15) - large portion for appetizer, octopus was tender and salad was fresh - 4 stars
Pizza - House pizza ($20 for 12 inch) - crust had a nice texture, crunchy and chewy at the same time - 4 stars
Pasta - Cavatelli Formaggio e Pistacchio ($17) - homemade, small portion. Â I was not crazy about this but my daughter loved it - 3 stars
Soup - ginger carrot soup ($8 for a large bowl) - hot and really yummy, could not taste ginger though - 4 stars, will order again
Dessert - ordered the only choice, cheesecake cone ($8) - very unique, creamy cheese, sweet n chewy cones - 4 stars, will order again

If you sit down for dinner they start u off with some bread & olive oil, the bread is nothing special but the olive oil is pretty good & together it's even better.
Appetizer tried the Calamari Fritti , great taste not greasy at all & the dipping sauce is delicious.
Caprese Bufala , is amazing huge piece great for sharing. Love how the mozzarella practically melts in your mouth.
Next we tried the Shrimp Parmigiana hero , this was really good a nice sandwich with plenty of shrimp , cheese & sauce.
The Penne ala Vodka was great , nice tasting sauce. Also good are the Rigatoni pasta with sausage or in Bolognese sauce.
On the specials I tried the Fresh Fettuccine with spinach in truffle oil , delicious homemade pasta nice tasting sauce.
On The pizza's The 4 Stagioni pizza nice pie all the ingredients go well together , ham, olives , mushrooms there is a lot of stuff on this so very filing but very good.
Calabrese is also very tasty , good ingredients tomato sauce, homemade mozzarella cheese, sausage, fresh black olives, porcini, nduja and oregano all go great together.
The House pie Cucino a Modo Mio also 12" was amazing comes with homemade mozzarella cheese, pistachios, burrata, speck and extra virgin olive oil another heavy one but really good & has become one of my fav's.
There never seems to be room for dessert , but I was finally able to try the Tortufa ice cream , delicious passion fruit & cherry ice cream with icing & some chocolate on the outer parts really good dessert.
Nice atmosphere , reasonable prices & good service Love the fact that this place is close by , so far it has not disappointed me & chances are I will continue to come by specially for the Pizza.7/7/2013Previous reviewNew restaurant in the area & I was excited to try specially with it being brick oven style Pizza.
This place is interesting for a quick bite there is pizzeria style seating upfront , regular restaurant service in the back plus they have a small bar area.
The decor here certainly catches your attention quickly the walls are filled w all kinds of pots , plates & interesting Italian inspired objects pretty cool to check out reminded me a bit of some restaurants in Italy.
Once seated we started w a Peroni beer for our drink , love Peroni's & here they were nice & cold.
For our main meal we tried the Primavera pizza 12" size perfect for sharing. This comes with tomatoes , mozzarella , arugula & prosciutto  , this pie was delicious nice taste & crust.
Interesting  decor , nice service & decent prices.
We enjoyed our pizza , really nice to have a decent new place in the neighborhood I will definitely be returning here often. - George C.New York, NY17737143032/7/2015
Redeemed an Amazon Local voucher here* for a sampling of their menu of pizza and "Calabrian soul food". Everything was satisfying, and the decor adds to the experience. Service was friendly enough at a slow weekend lunch hour (gladly they don't deem it brunch).
*The staffer was clueless when we called to confirm they accepted the voucher and asked that WE call THEM back in a half hour, but alright...

Really nice staff, they try to help and answer questions but have a little trouble with the English. That's cool though, at least you know you're getting authentic food! I had the sausage and peppers with pene pasta in marinara sauce. Really good flavor! I've never had home made pasta, and the menu doesn't specify that it is, but I could definitely tell that it's not from a box! Nice texture and taste. I also had a piece of margarita pizza, I wasn't too crazy about it but not bad.
The interior is nice, interesting signs on the walls, rustic decor.
Great place to get a quick bite, or if you're feeling romantic, the sit down dining area looks cozy.
Good food, good service, reasonable prices, what more can you ask for? - Jose Ramon S.East Elmhurst, NY934332/1/2015
Great Italian food and ambiance. Everything was delicious. From the fried calamari to the lasagna. Will go back in a heartbeat.

From the outside you would think it is nothing special, but this place is amazing! They have home made pasta especially my favorite the homemade gnocchi! The appetizer with the different cheeses and meats is great. Most of all what makes this restaurant so special is that they treat you like family the service is great! They will go above and beyond to make all your requests happen! The bread and olive oil is addicting! You must try the HOMEMADE WINE! I fell in love! I am going to return next month even though its a 35 minute drive. FREE PARKING LOT!

Food was good and got a great deal with the groupon for 4 people, just be careful when you are ready to leave and get the check. They will charge you tax on the full price of the meal, even though it's supposedly 50% off. That would have to be to get some of that money back in their pocket.
Imagine buying an outfit at Macy's at 50% off and then them telling you, "Oh, I know it's on sale and we will give it to you for the sale price, but we're gonna charge you tax as if you didn't get it on sale, ok?"
Huh? Â Actually no, not ok at all .... - Teresa C.Brooklyn, NY21781292/27/2015
This restaurant is one of those restaurant that you can bring your family members for some great italian food. Â Enjoy!!

Pizza and 2 pasta dishes all of which were excellent!  Didn't know they had heir own parking but I guess I will look for it next time .
