A step inside Cucina...

Cucina di Pesce is the type of comfortably lived-in Italian restaurant that local New Yorkers love. Our focus on seafood has turned this city of foodies upside-down. Our flavors are absolutely contemporary. We pride ourselves on offering both the best service and freshest ingredients in Manhattan on a budget! From the pasta to our enormous spinach ravioli to succulent sun dried tomato fusili - our plates seduce the tastebuds of even the most well versed critic. Our seafood lives up to its reputation: sea scallops, scampi, salmon and much more are delivered on a daily basis. Stop by to enjoy unlimited mussels at our weekday happy hour.  

Good food, great service, fantastic drinks and unbelievably inexpensive. - Christina D., Yelp

"Cucina di Pesce, way back in the 1920's and 1930's was a casino run by Charles "Lucky" Luciano, the chairman of the Mafia Syndicate. It later became a mob social club called the Stage Bar run by Vincent Ciraulo aka "Jimmy Second Ave." of the Genovese family. Though Cucina is no longer "connected" it maintains the low-lit chraming and seductive atmosphere of a mob haunt, and the Tony Bennet and Frank Sinatra playing at the bar don't hurt either!" - NYC Gangster Tours
