Our second visit to Cuccia's was as good as our first. A year after our visit with the kids and grandkids we came back with the dog. We ate outside and they brought the dog a dish of ice water. The restruant is comfortable. The patio is covered and has a fan which helps with the temperature. The background music is very subtle and fits the atmosphere. The service was excellent. Our water was kept filled. Our food was brought out quickly. We had the same waitress as last year. This year my husband had a classic calzone. He ate 1/2. I had a chicken Gorgonzola with veggies, not pasta. Mine was delicious. The portions sizes are generous. Thanks for a lovely meal. read more

Overall really dissatisfied from previous dining here. The pros: Bread service was great Drinks arrived fast Tuscan pasta was hot with good flavor Pizza was super The cons: The scampi was not edible. It tasted like it just white wine drizzled over it, not garlic or lemon noted. Very bland. Prawns were meh. We were charged 27 dollars then 9 to split with over 3/4 untouched. The Alfredo was very runny, we ordered it for kiddos and they wouldn't touch it. The entire dish was left minus two bites. We shared this with our server, again charged full price and 9 dollars to split the dish, That was untouched. Paying 125 dollars for that food and no alcohol seems a bit insane. There was no offer of a different dish or improvement to the dishes we had. We have previously had a great experience here in other years, not sure what happened this time. read more

Cuccia's - Italian Near Me - Graeagle, California

A perfect solo date night! I came up to our campsite a couple of days before my husband, so I decided to treat myself to a solo dinner date, and Cuccia's did not disappoint! I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, as I always feel you can truly judge an Italian place by how well they cook the basics. It was absolutely delicious and incredibly well balanced. To make the night even better, I found out they offer 50% off bottles of wine! I enjoyed a lovely bottle of Sacred Soil, and I love that they will recork the bottle for you to take home if you don't finish it. This place is a gem, and I will definitely be back! If you are looking for a place to treat yourself to a lovely night out, this is a lovely spot. read more

Great service, good appetizers, sad main dish. The service staff seems on the ball. Ordered all kinds of appetizers, and they were all quite excellent. Then the main meal... the Caesar salad was nothing to write home about. I would've expected better from an Italian restaurant. And the calamari entrée was rubbery and flavorless. It was served with raw sliced zucchini with no seasoning, not even rosemary or thyme. Also the restaurant interior is so loud you can't hear the person sitting next to you. They really could use some sound absorbing decorative tiles. Of course, since this is one of the few fine dining restaurants in town, there isn't motivation to up their game. read more

Excellent dinner with friends Price is reasonable and service was great! Will return soon Highly recommend, but get reservations! read more

Ok, so the good with the bad. I was part of a BIG group, like 35. That being said the wait staff was polite, and the tables were set. The first course was Caesar salad... not enough. A small bowl every 8 adults is not enough. The second course was pasta. They brought out penne with red sauce and ravioli with white to every table. The red sauce was very "Ragu" esque and the white was pretty bland too. The main was tri tip. It was cooked perfectly actually but it was served cold and I personally think they cut it wrong because as good as it was cooked it was tough to cut and chew. I understand that is not every day they get a group of 30 to 40 people, but when they do, I hope they capitalize better than that in the future. I will say that the waitress/bartender who is behind the bar was very knowledgeable about the wine that they served and provided an excellent recommendation for a red for our table of eight. I ended up buying three bottles just because she was extremely polite, personable, and her recommendation hit all marks! read more

There are not too many places to eat in Graeagle, CA, so you may lower your expectations subconsciously. Keep your expectations high because Cuccia's will meet and exceed your standards. The service is comparable to a Michelin restaurant. The ambiance is "small-town romantic". The wine selection is expansive. The food was excellent. We have eaten there 3 times. MAKE A RESERVATION, especially on Fridays. read more

We love Cuccia's. Especially on Wine Wednesday when all bottles are 1/2 off! Service is top notch and food is great. I recently had a personal pizza. The crust was delish. read more

Eat here regularly during summer... always delicious and highly recommend. Chicken piccata is outstanding!!!

I love Cuccia's. I understand change is coming, so we squeezed in one more visit during Christmas, before the new owners change things up. Their service, food, & atmosphere are always wonderful. I almost always order the sacchetti, which is mushroom filled with a creamy delicious white sauce that I absolutely love. It's melt in your mouth delicious. My husband joined us for this visit and ordered a pizza, which is a first for me at this restaurant. Now I'm sad we didn't make Cuccia's our go to pizza joint all these years! That pizza was SO GOOD! The crust was chewy and crispy and all the things. And the toppings (pepperoni & sausage) with the cheese love made each bite a drool worthy experience. Of course I ordered the affogato for dessert - one of my favorite sweet treats. Cuccia's always has some delicious gelato flavors to choose from, which kicks up the flavor a few notches. I'm sad to see to Gina & her team leaving this location, but looking forward to what is to come! read more

What a gem of a restaurant in this small town. The interior is really comfortable and they have a nice outdoor seating too. We were a party of eight and all of our food arrived at the same time and was delicious. I ordered sacchetti because I've never seen it before. I was not disappointed! It even came with a nice side salad, a great Caesar read more

Delicious Graeagle Italian spot! The view of the meadow is incredible outside, and they also had misters going out front because it was so hot. I'm not sure if a reservation is required, but I would recommend making one. Our server was very prompt and also super kind! We started out with the calamari fritto, and it was super delicious! The calamari steak was cooked perfectly. Calamari isn't my favorite dish, but even I liked it! For my entree I ordered the pesto cerrito with added chicken, and it was amazing. The portion wasn't too big, which I really liked. The sun dried tomatoes paired perfectly with the pesto and were a great added touch! For my dessert I ordered an affogato (my personal favorite)! The espresso was yummy and the ice cream was as well. Such a great way to round out a meal. Everyone was very satisfied with their dish, and we will definitely be returning! read more

My son brought me here last June and I couldn't wait to come back for the calamari steak. Best I've ever had. I've been back 3 times this week and every meal was excellent. Had the nicest male waiter twice. He was a gem and then a young gal, who was also just as sweet. Excellent soup, bread and entrees. The owner is so sweet. I love Cuccia's and can't wait to return. Hats off to the chef read more

It's a great place that the locals love. I have a standing reservation for Half off Wine on Wednesdays. The kind of place that knows what you like to drink and eat when you arrive. read more

Excellent food, but reservations are highly recommended for this popular spot tucked away in Mohawk, about 25 minutes east of the restaurant food desert of Quincy. Service can be a little slow during peak hours, the but the wait is worth it. They have an extensive wine list as well dozens of items on the menu to satisfy even the most discerning diner. Most dishes are Italian; however there are also many other standard dishes, including seafood. read more

I called a couple weeks in advance to make a reservation for my in-laws anniversary while we were all going to be in town for a wedding. Gina acknowledged my message and responded to me promptly. I asked if they could note that it was their anniversary and she said no problem. I was also able to pay over the phone for their entire meal. Gina was very accommodating and so friendly on the phone. My in-laws said the service was exceptional. They arrived before their reservation time, but were still seated anyways. Everyone that greeted them said "Happy Anniversary", that included the hostess, waitress, and bus boy. They both enjoyed their meals of the steak and green mussels. They said everything was delicious. My husband and I weren't able to go, but we will definitely be back to give them our business. Thanks Gina and everyone at Cuccias!! read more

Cuccia's is absolutely the best Italian restaurant in Plumas County. The owner Gina goes above and beyond to offer patrons the best tasting food and wait staff in the area. We were a party of four and every member commented on how delicious their meal was. It was quite apparent that Gina has a top notch chef on board. As well, Cuccia's has an extensive wine list to choose from. So if you are in the Blairsden/Graeagle/Portola area, do yourself a favor and dine at this great restaurant! read more

Cuccia's - Nice outside decks. - Italian Near Me - Graeagle, California

If your looking for a Delicious Italian meal, pasta, veal, pizza, and great service, you have found, CUCCIA'S. The owner, Gina, works very hard, every evening, to make sure her customers, locals and newcomers, enjoy, her best. The first 2 times, I went here, I couldn't, get away from the Spaghetti and meatballs in meat sauce. Excellent, and do have the garlic bread with it. The Veal, you cannot go wrong with. We love, sitting in the enclosed outdoor deck during summer, as you're going to enjoy watching the deer, grazing, next to the horses. Great wine and beer selections, and excellent dessert, selections. Make reservations, days and sometimes, weeks in advance. Have fun and MANGIA.... read more

OUTSTANDING Food service and ambiance. And fair prices! Reservations a must!!! The employees are very accommodating!

Great food and service. A great wine selection and full bar is available as well. Definitely will be back again during my next visit to the area. read more

I took my wife to try Cuccia's for her birthday dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised. Looks unassuming from the outside, but interior is very hip and comfortable and clean. Menu is extensive, prices are modest, and our server Rowan was delightful and attentive. The veal saltimbocca was exquisite, as was the lasagna. And of course they did something special and generous for my wife's birthday. These people really know how to run a fine restaurant, and they could compete anywhere, but here they are right in Plumas County. read more

The BEST pizza!!! Try the La Port and add sausage. DELICIOUS!! desserts are great too.

Meatball salad? YEP! Delicious!! Nice selection of wines, and Food choices. Lovely outside seating. First time here, hope to return soon. read more

Cuccia's - Meatballs salad?? YEP! Delicious - Italian Near Me - Graeagle, California

Best Italian in the lost Sierra. I almost always get the veal because it's superb, but their pasta is excellent as well. The Olio is simple and delicious. Don't sleep on the pizza either - the Sierra Valley is my personal favorite. read more

One note off the bat: very, very friendly and tasty. We were there a couple days before Newsom's no-indoors dining order and at that point they did allow socially distanced indoor dining. It was well-spaced. Nice outdoor area, but it was booked up when we arrived - 7:30 on a Sunday night. Despite being in a small community in the mountains a reservation would have been required. Live and learn - there are many small inns and hotels and home rentals and second homes in the area, so steady stream of vacationers, even (maybe even esp?) this summer. Views good, food very satisfying, blew our expectations (which were somewhat modest) away. Great service, friendly and, well-masked staff. If you have been out hiking, cycling, golfing or otherwise exploring Plumas County then you won't regret heading over after a fun day and having a delicious and well-crafted Italian meal here. It was one of those delightful little finds and we are already talking about going back. Won over me, my wife, and our very picky 10yrr old city kid who thinks she works for Zagat. read more

Cuccia's - A cool view never hurts - Italian Near Me - Graeagle, California

So disappointing. We went in with high hopes and expectations. Had a reservation but still waited several minutes to even be acknowledged. Got seated and water and bread came quickly. Ordered drinks which were relatively prompt as well. And then . . . Wait. Salads came after maybe 15 minutes. Entrees . . . Another 30?? Sadly, the pizza was under-cooked . . . And nobody noticed or asked about our meals. The pasta lacked basil, a key ingredient. Our server was nowhere to be seen. Or anyone else. Finally she came. We asked for boxes and I told her about the inadequate meal. She did the right thing and comped it, but that doesn't really make up for poor service and poorly prepared food. They are clearly understaffed, and we won't be back. If you go, prepare to wait, and hope it's worth it. read more

Nice cozy restaurant with good food and wine. We didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly!

Beautiful view from the deck. We ordered appetizers as it looks like they serve a lot of food with the entrees. We had the calamari but it was over cooked to my liking. read more

Great Restaurant. Food was amazing. Service was a little slow but the place was packed so we understood. We didn't have a reservation but they still found us a table on a busy night. Good date night spot read more
