Pasta Cucina of Stony Point NY — Restaurant in Town of Stony Point

Absolutely disappointing, given the high regards my wife and I read here on Google Maps. We arrived Saturday night with half of the restaurant empty. Nonetheless, the waiter took nearly 10 minutes to take our order, and the order itself, Italian classics of Chicken and Eggplant Parm, took nearly 35 minutes to arrive after the order. A decent garden salad filled five minutes of the time and the busboys did fill our water glasses once, so not all was lost. On their menu they state something to the effect of, "Please be patient because we cook our food to order", presumably because said patience will result in cuisine of a comparative higher quality and/or made from scratch. Neither really panned out.

The food and its commensurate wait were simply not worth it -- the gravy was watery and underseasoned, the pasta was fine but harkened to basic out-of-the-box fare, and the portions were just average. We did not finish our meals before asking for boxes and the check. We sat at our table for a long time and no one responded. We had to hail the busboy to pass the message along that we were ready to leave. That request was unanswered. Another 10 minutes later and the waiter showed up, made some congenial small talk to perhaps distract from our poor dining experience. We just asked for the check and got out of there as quickly as possible. One might think we were the only ones who suffered. Nope. As we left, the couple at the table next to us asked a waiter of a different table, "Do you know when our waiter is going to take our order? It's been over seven minutes?" To which the employee's response was, "He's been really busy, so it's going to be a while." He was certainly not busy helping us.

I wanted to believe that this place was as amazing as other reviewers narrated. However, if a fine restaurant experience is defined as simply as good service and good food at a good price, Pasta Cucina is,...

Last week while my mother was at Helen Hayes Hospital for rehabilitation. I decided to stop in to Pasta Cucina in Stony Point and have dinner on three different ocassions.

It had been some 15 or more years since I had last been to one of my most favorite restaurants, Pasta Cucina in Airmont, NY. Unfortunately, this location, as well as the one in New City have since closed.

On my first visit on Wednesday and as soon as I entered and even before I had a chance to sit at the bar. I was warmly greeted by the bartender, who introduced herself as Marina. As I sat and had my drink, I was amazed as to how friendly and warmly each and every customer was greeted as they entered.

From speaking with Marina, I came to find out she, along with her husband, Mario and their daughter, Allie, are the proprietors of this fine establishment.

I returned back on Saturday and Monday of this past week and was extremely satisfied with everything I had. From drink, to appetizer, to soup, to salad, to entre, to dessert and cappuccino.

From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel as if I was a part of the Pasta Cucina family and today I am bringing friends here for dinner. The hospitality, service and food are outstanding! It is well worth the trip to come here from Fort Lee, NJ. Where one seems to be treated like royalty. Thank you Mario, Marina and Allie.

Alright, so I just got back from Rome—yeah, the Rome in Italy—and what’s the first place I hit for that real-deal Italian flavor? Pasta Cucina. You think I’m messin’ around with some chain spot after eatin’ over there? No shot. This place is legit.

First thing I order? A bowl of minestrone. Bro, that soup was bangin’—warm, hearty, like Ma used to make back in the day. Straight comfort.

Then I go with my usual: spinach fettuccine Alfredo—no peas, sliced grilled chicken on top. And lemme tell ya, the pasta? 100% homemade. You can taste it in every bite. Cooked aldente just how I like it. I don’t do mushy pasta—nah, not in this house. And truth be told? This is the only spot I trust for spinach Alfredo. No one else even comes close.

Now my wife, Lavinia—she goes for the chicken francese. Tender as hell, juicy, and that lemon sauce? Next level. The pasta underneath was soakin’ it all up, and every bite? Pure gold.

Bottom line? Pasta Cucina’s the real deal. I just landed from Italy and this was my first stop. That tells you everything you...
