Reviews for Cucina in Woodstock, NY
The food and service were excellent. The pizza was one of the best we have ever had- it is thin and crispy. Good drinks and... bread. We sat outdoors- it was surprising, but nice in late October to have that available.... they had heaters. Onlycomplaint is that outdoors it was loud with the traffic- the restaurant is at an intersection of two major routes. Read more
Had a great experience at Cucina. Loved the food, drinks, dessert, the ambience, and the service. The slow roasted salmon was... excellent, the Cipolla (without the bacon) pizza was great, and the desserts (flourless chocolate lava cake, tiramisu, saltedcaramel sundae) were our favorites.The bartender was amazing though (we started at the bar while we waited for our table to beready). The only downsides were that the service after we were seated was slow (they were incredibly busy) and the Brocolli inone of the dishes was oddly bitter. Would highly recommend, nonetheless!

On a bright sunshiny although blustery and unseasonably cool June 22 day hunger and proximity brought me to Cucina in Woodstock... NY. I chose to sit on the lovely wisteria vined porch. I craved the NY strip steak which comes with thin shoe string Frenchfries and a small lightly dressed pile of arugula. I had a glass of French red and a fresh Oj. I hadn’t eaten all day so I wasreally hungry and thirsty too. They offered bread with my meal but I live GF so when I declined my waitress told me about theirGF pizza crust as an alternative. It’s made with cauliflower ,tapioca flour,yeast etc.. when baked its sprinkled with rosemaryand flake salt then served with olive oil for dipping. It was delicious. My steak was perfectly cooked, at my requested MR,flavorful and juicy . The shoe string French fries were hot ,crispy and perfectly seasoned. Arugula is arugula but with thecilantro sauce ,served for the steak, was perfect to balance out the bitter greens. The furnaces were set up as the eveningprogressed but fortunately for me , who had zero plans for dining out, they sell warm clothing brandishing their name! Waitstaff and the manager were very helpful and efficient. The porch became more crowded but I was blissfully enjoying every bite ofmy meal. I didn’t eat too many fries because I saw the specials. One of the specials was a rhubarb strawberry crisp withvanilla ice cream.. I gave in. When asked if I liked it I happened to be tearfully remembering my deceased relatives who Ishared this with in times past.. This dessert was delicious as the blend of tart and sweet with creamy and nutty bites evokedemotions I hadn’t expected! Food should reach your heart and this meal did all of that for me. Read more
Went to Cucina had my usual delicious soup ????, Bartender was amazing... BUT Then I ordered their ($17) "margarita pizza"($17)... I was shocked at what I had received ????. Not only is there no fresh mozzarella on the pie , but look at the crust , seems tobe a cracker like material. I placed the lemon for size reference.... let's continue.... so I tell the Bartender that it wasreally terrible and they should immediately stop serving this pizza to the public just for the mere respect of the customers andItalian culture. Again I wasn't being confrontational I was just explaining how sad and pathetic this "pizza" was. The manager slowly creeped over the Bartender shoulder and she said "is there a problem?" and I said "it's very obvious" and she said "oit's a different style of pizza" and I said "this isn't a different style pizza , it's Terrible" The manager seemed to bepersonally upset about this pizza , I know I was.... she then stated " if the owner heard you say that he would kick you out" .... I wasn't being loud I wasn't being rude, I was just letting them know that they really need to understand they are servingsup-par ingredients and charging TOP DOLLAR ???? ???? . Being from Woodstock I should have know better then to order pizza fromcucina, (it being a known tourist spot) I will do everything in my power to stand up In the name of pizza ???? ????, DONT callyourself Authentic Italian cuisine and serve people middleschool pizza . But you know like the guy at the bar said ... " "Thereprobably just making it really thin and without fresh mozzarella to make a bunch of money off tourists" well this local feltvery much like a tourist today. I actually would have preferred the pizza I got as a child In middle school. We will fight for????! It's really not that hard... Read more
Lovely authentic Italian restaurant in Woodstock. The atmosphere was really enjoyable as well. I highly recommend the Fusilli... Bolognese. Make sure you bring your appetite, so you make room for dessert. Read more
I am not the biggest fan of Italian food but I adored this spot! The patio seating was picturesque, with beautiful ivy framing... the entire porch. Our whole family was happy with our meals, but my favorite was probably the goat cheese and pear pizza (well,I would call it more of a flatbread, but it was delicious no matter what they called it!). Service was lovely as well. Idefinitely think this is a great spot to stop by! Read more
If you’re looking for a place to have an amazing meal in a pretty spot go to Cucina. I’ve had many dinners there and they... never fail to impress on the food and the atmosphere is elegant farmhouse. Delicious Italian food from farm to table. The waitstaff are so upbeat and kind. The experience is great from all angles. I always enjoy their homemade soda of lemon and thyme.They have a small bar area that you can sit and relax before or after dinner. Cucina is always the highlight of my Woodstockstays, and I’ve built the most special memories in that historic farmhouse. Cucina is perfect for a romantic dinner or a mealwith a group of friends alike Read more
