Food, service and setting was excellent. We went late afternoon and the meal was reasonably priced and tasty. Absolutely nothing negative to say about our meal here. I had the bacon, ranch, fried chicken sandwich with fries and my wife had manicotti which she raved about. This was the first time we ate there and it certainly will not be our last...Lord willing! ...Have a blessed day. read more

The food has always been good every time we've went. Service was great as well. I would highly recommend Nucci's!

Really cool place! The decor is a very tasteful blend of vintage and modern. I can imagine this place probably being a popular dinner/late evening spot, but we were here for lunch and it was rather quiet. The menu is pretty expansive with everything from pastas to steaks, salads, and sandwiches. I personally was a little disappointed in the lack of vegetarian options though. I'd love to see a nice eggplant parmesan on the menu in the future. My spaghetti was pretty good though and our waitress was lovely. I recommend! read more

We visited Nucci's on a Saturday evening during the fall festival and I was impressed by how smoothly everything was running, despite the busy evening. We had already eaten, and after reading reviews and seeing the food that came out, I'm so sad we didn't get to taste any of the dinners. Everything smelled amazing and looked wonderful. We did order two cocktails and shared a desert. Our waitress was very friendly and the bar area was cozy. All the other guests seemed to be enjoying their food. Next time we are in Pittsfield we will make sure that Nucci's is the first place we dine. read more

Delicious. My grandson ordered the cheese pizza and he said it was the best cheese pizza he ever had. All the food for our family was delicious and servers were fantastic. read more

Best burgers and Italian. Love this place. If you are in the Pittsfield area make it a point to spot here for lunch or dinner. read more

There were several good pasta options. The tortellini tasted home made. My preference would have been a different sauce and not the Alfredo. The rib eye was a large portion. House salad was a nicer salad than you would get elsewhere. Homemade dipping oil. I found their house dressing too sweet but it was good. Service was great. Sandwiches and pizza on the menu too. Desserts looked good but no more room! This is the best restaurant from the MO border to Jacksonville so we stopped in on our trip. It is an old house so you may need to overlook some needed touchups. read more

I was hopeful that the food here would rival the great family restaurant Italian food from my state of Connecticut. I was wrong. It far exceeded my expectations. It's a cozy place with an intimate and upscale but unpretentious vibe. We had the Italian margaritas out of curiosity and I highly recommend you try. At our table we had an order of hot wings, an order of white lasagne, and a house tortellini. We got the side salads which came perfectly dressed with some amazing house dressing that was balanced and a little sweet. The greens were super fresh. Everything was amazing and we were quite frankly blown away. Best Alfredo I've ever had and I am no stranger to gourmet Italian cuisine. We're going to be back as soon as we can. read more

Great burger in a very cool old house restaurant setting. The patio was a great place to sit for dinner on the cooler evening. The service was great and the menu boasts a huge variety of foods. I've had luck with the pork tenderloin, pastas, and catfish in the past and this burger was solid. read more

Excellent prime rib perfectly medium rare. Prompt service and fair prices. The stuffed shrimp were tasty as well.

Food was very good. Had a wide selection of things on the menu. I got the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta. Lots of chicken and quite a few shrimp. Salad was very good with their house dressing. read more

HUGE portions! I'll just start with that. We had a part of 7 on a Friday afternoon. We were seated right away. We ordered two apps (which were huge and good). I had the chicken parm which arrived a little after everyone else's meal but it was great and highly recommended it. The server was very sweet and gave us a free dessert for the delay. I would definitely return read more

Service was great. Prices were very reasonable. I had the Penne Vodka....very good. My wife had hamburger, good but could have had a bit more seasoning. Good selection of beer and wines. Definitely recommend when you're in the area. read more

One of the great things we found on our trip to Harpoles Lodge in Pike County. The building was beautiful and was a signal of what we would find inside. We got a table almost immediately and our waitress kept us in drinks and had our appetizers out almost directly from the stove. The pasta dish I had reminded me immediately of my favorite of Olive Garden, sausage and peppers rustica. My wife had the white lasagna and she loved it. We didn't need any desert as the meals were enough portion wise. This is one of those amazing little places you are lucky enough to find in small town middle America. read more

Going in I always have a great experience but it is hit or miss in terms of my to-go orders. I'll always still go back because right now, family businesses need the love!! read more

Now this is how you do Italian food!!! Great price. Great adult beverages! Great food! Great service! The whole damn meal was just GREAT! I live in Houston TX. In town to visit in-laws. The 3 of us drove to Pittsfield for dinner at Nucci's on a Monday night. They were busy! We immediately got one of the few remaining open tables. Waitress was excellent on making recommendations from the menu. She suggested the white chicken parm to my MIL and the strawberry lemonade (with REAL frozen strawberries). She ordered both and was very happy. Like others stated, the house salad is AMAZING! Let's be clear, nothing fancy, just a spring mix with a few red onions, one sliced cherry tomato, and croutons. I swear angels hand made the dressing! I wanted to lick my plate! I would purchase their dressing by the gallon! It's that good, people! My only regret was not asking what was available for dessert. I WILL be there again and WILL inquire about the dessert. read more

Delicious pasta! They have high quality food and desserts. This is a great place to get dinner!

favorite place to eat in town ! puts the it in italian that's for sure !!! House dressing is the best i've ever had and the wings are amazing ! amazing staff and owners 10/10 recommend if you haven't been there you must go! read more

Wow! We were just looking for a decent bite to eat after a long day and Nucci's blew it away! Started with fantastic service, literally immediate service and so friendly. Then let's go to drinks.. they had a special ice coffee drink that my husband loved and I'm glad he didn't lick his glass. They had riesliing so I was a happy camper. On to the food! I had the bourbon glazed flat steak, cooked to perfection with awesome zucchini medley side. My husband had the Penne Rosa and was shocked by the amount of sausage in it. He actually couldn't eat the whole thing and we both got to go boxes. Cannot say enough about this place. I sure hope we can get back here in our travels. Ask for Holly, she's a fantastic server! read more

For Pittsfield it's okay. At least it's inexpensive, but i recently saw the owners commenting about minimum wage issues on facebook and witnessed them writing something like "iPads don't show up late and get orders wrong." They threaten that if a minimum wage hike is passed they plan to go to an automated ordering system so they don't have to pay employees a living wage. That's their right, but I'm not likely to eat there in the future. read more

We were seated very close to the bar where all the staff excluding cooks, gathered to gossip so I can't a lot for their atmosphere. We only had appetizer. The crab stuffed mushrooms turned out to be stuffing stuffed mushrooms. No crab to be seen let alone tasted. The stuffing tasted exactly like Stove Top. We also ordered a bruscetta and it had NO flavor. Very disappointing for us unfortunately. read more

4 words for you...Authentic Frickin Italian Goodness! The hospitality at Nucci's is something you don't experience often anymore. Before the dinner was over we were even greeted by the owner at our table. This place is the real deal. I ordered the Tortellini. Outstanding flavors. I was given the option of adding crab legs to the dinner. One business partner ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was so large there were leftovers. I highly recommend this establishment and give them 2 thumbs up read more

Sorry folks, but I cannot patronize your establishment. Came in on several occasions for carry-out between March and June and left very generous tips. Now that you are open for indoor seating none of your staff are in masks. This is just not acceptable based on the pandemic situation. You are contributing to the problem. read more

Nucci's is my favorite restaurant in Pittsfield. My favorite item on their menu is the chicken parmigiana sandwich. I've enjoyed going in for live music and the owners are super nice! They have a lovely deck area but when the weather is nice I absolutely love sitting out there. read more

We went here on our drive back home. While traveling we share food, so don't have to waste food!!being a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids , we orders 2 adult dishes, were charged 3$ charge per plate for sharing. Initially I was upset about that and the long wait for the good.but as we have rules, from their point of view they have to remain in business being a small establishment , hence to survive have to do what they got to do. I really had this change of opinion and 4stars as the food was simply delicious. We ordered thin crust Nucci pizza and spaghetti with meatballs. Also orders 2desserts after that-tiramisu and cannoli. All food was really very fresh, tasty and homemade feel. read more

Nice evening meal. Had great tiramisu. Both our meals were excellent but can't recall anything beyond the dessert. Nice ending.

We stopped on our way to pick up some puppies all 4 of us got something different and everything was delicious! Reuben....horseshoe....cheeseburger....prosciutto chicken all awesome! read more

We come to town once a year for a festival, this place is a Must Go To, best Italian food you can get, Meatballs are the best you will find and I have never had a bad meal there, House Salad dressing is the best you will taste! read more

Really wonderful Italian food. Stopped on our way home from a Mizzou game. Majority of the menu is homemade. Salad has a great sweet Italian dressing and the bread came with dipping oil. Yum. I had Chicken Prosciutto which was excellent, my husband the Trio Sampler. Generous portions. Good Tiramisu for dessert. Will be back after game day again! read more

I want to like this place but there are just too many flaws. My wife and I have tried this restaurant out many times and we have even taken my family, but every time we go there is something new that seems to be going down... On several occasions when I walk in, I have been asked at least three times if I would like to sit outside and every time it has been way too cold to sit outside. So three times in a row we said no, and then were seated right next to the open door that led to the patio. The menu has changed too many times and causes me frustration because once I find a dish I like, it is taken off by the next time I come. Recently we were invited out to lunch with friends and when we arrived the table we were seated at, we found the table cloth was a sticky/plastic mess full of snags and rips. The floor underneath our table and chairs look as if it had not been swept in a while. Upon ordering our food my wife and I said we would like to split a pasta dish. By the way, expect to pay at least 11 dollars for some noodles and sauce. Then we were told there is an upcharge for splitting a dish, I thought perhaps this would mean more food, but no. The person sitting next to my wife ordered the same thing and got the same amount of food as we did. This place is so bizarre. In addition to this, we constantly felt treated like we weren't spending enough money as we were asked if we want any appetizers with our main dish or dessert. I could never recommend this restaurant to any friend. The menu, staff, and aesthetic all fall short of what I expect, when looking at the restaurant they are trying to be. read more

When I go to an Italian restaurant, I always order spaghetti and meatballs--regular spaghetti with no fancy name, red sauce, and MEATBALLS, the bigger the better. This little out of the way place, slightly off the town square, served exactly that. It was DELICIOUS, as good as anything on the Hill in St. Louis. They have four choices for dessert. I chose lemon cake, and it was superb! The man who runs the place is Mr. Petranucci, hence the name of the establishment. What a find in rural America! read more

Great small town Italian restaurant! I've been here a couple times and the service has always been quick and friendly. They're very polite and the owner often walks around seeing how the customers are doing. If you eat here prepare for large portion sizes, I'm a big eater and I barely finished an entree and a shared appetizer. read more

Wow.... not good.. waited 1hour and 30 mins for food!!! When it came it was OK not great. Wish I walked and went somewhere else

We had a great dinner this past Saturday night at Nucci's. The starter salad had a nice subtle dressing that went well with the bread and oil served before the meal. My Eggplant Parmesan was outstanding as was the accompanying pasta and sauce, while Ms K's Fettucini Alfredo was a huge portion that she almost made it all the way through. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well, and we're all looking forward to our next visit to sit out on the patio and enjoy the cool evening air! read more

Delicious local Italian! We had the shrimp gnocchi and it was delicious. It was served with a side salad topped with a sweet Italian dressing (house made) and bread with an herb olive oil dip, also very good! The tomato, mozzarella, and balsamic drizzle was not note worthy. The live music adds flavor to the night! Highly recommend a visit! read more

Cozy light decor, not cluttered was just right & an enjoyable experience. Menu is quite large with plenty to choose from for all taste buds. Wait staff was kind & attentive. There where three of us & each ordered something different so was able to taste a couple items. I ordered the Chicken prosciutto, grilled chicken wrapped with prosciutto & mozzarella served on a bed of garlic butter noodles with mushrooms and Parmesan, this was delicious and a large portion so had enough to bring home. Also at our table was the shrimp scampi pasta, six good size shrimp on a garlic pasta & cheese Alfredo tortellini with peas. For an appetizer we had the Italian bruschetta, good wish the bread was sliced a little thinner it was difficult to take a bite. We also tried the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes drizzled with a balsamic & this was a nice & light appetizer, highly recommend. For dessert the lemon cake we took home was delicious. My only complaint would be the Italian Margarita was $6, yummy drink but at $4 I would have ordered two, we all agreed $6 was to high. Give this place a try & you won't be disappointed, I will be going back & keep trying more items on the menu, the Alfredo Lasagna peaked my interest :) read more
