My friend and I ate at Puccinis a few weeks ago, and it was absolutely awesome. I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan and the Mediterranean French Onion Soup -- both were delicious and full of flavor. The Bruschetta Burger with homemade potato chips is definitely a favorite, too! The Red Velvet Cake is to die for, and they make a mean Bloody Mary. While our waitress could have been a bit more inviting, the overall experience was very enjoyable. We've eaten here before and will definitely be returning. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice -- comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. read more

Stopped in while driving between home and my kid's college. I was super confused by the parking lot and trying to figure out where the front door of the restaurant was. I don't know if it was the day (the day before Thanksgiving) or if the place is just that popular but it was pretty busy. The restaurant is in a converted home, so there are all these little rooms. We were seated in a "front" room with the bar space behind us. The dining room was tight and full of people but warm and welcoming and didn't feel too crunched. Our server seemed a little flustered. She was busy but was attentive. I had the chicken parm sandwich, my son had the chicken parm entree. The chicken was pounded evenly and not too thin, breaded and crunchy. The red sauce was a little sweeter than my tastes prefer but it was enjoyable, on good bread and I demolished it. The kid's pasta was a little softer than I usually make it. Overall, it was a good experience. Their location makes it likely that we'll stop here again. read more

One of my all-time favorite places to have drinks and food due to the history of the building, the atmosphere, and their solid food and drink menus. I came in a couple of weeks back to have dinner with my girlfriend while staying at Rocky Gap Resort for a weekend birthday trip since it's so close to the resort. I've been coming here for a long time but I haven't ate here for many years so I was excited to take my girlfriend here and enjoy the experience with her. The parking lot was packed as usual and as we walked in I noticed that the outside dining area was too. I asked for us to be seated outside but the waitress said there wasn't any tables available and the dining room was full as well. So she sent us downstairs which was fine with me because I have always loved the atmosphere down there. We grabbed a table but the waitresses and the bartenders didn't even acknowledge us for a good 10-15 minutes which is unacceptable to be honest. I get it you were busy but at bare minimum welcome us, bring us menus, take our drink order, and have the bartender bring it over if you're that busy. The bar literally had two people sitting at it with two bartenders talking about who was gonna go home early lol The waitress we did have was very nice and she was pretty quick with getting us our drinks and food. We ordered: - Margherita Pizza (2/5) - Caesar Salad (5/5) - Tuscan Chicken over Linguine (5/5) I've ate her many times over the years and I always loved their pizza but not this time. Maybe my palate has changed since then or maybe their pizza just wasn't as good as my memories of eating here. I will say that wood fired Neapolitan pizza is my least favorite because it's so sloppy and floppy and the undercarriage is never done well enough plus there was barely any cheese on it and it lacked any flavor whatsoever. It was edible but not good. I'd give it a 3.7 and that's being generous. Now for the Tuscan chicken over linguine, that's a whole other story. It was fantastic. The chicken was so tender and juicy, the pasta was cooked perfect, and the veggies blended so well with the creamy sauce. The dish was like being in umami heaven. Highly recommended! The Caesar salad was great too. We also had a beer to enjoy with our food. Girlfriend: AUSTIN EASTCIDERS PRICKLY PEAR-CIDER AUSTIN, TX 5% ABV N/A IBU 6.50 (5/5) Me: --STELLA ARTOIS-- LAGER LEUVEN, BELGIUM 5.2% ABV N/A IBU 6.25 (5/5) She was obsessed with her cider lol She said it was the best one she has ever had. I always drink craft beers but I hadn't had a Stella for a hot minute so I decided to get one. Tasty! All in all the experience was great and I am glad I finally got the chance to take her here even though the pizza sucked. Happy Eating :) read more

Was looking forward to dining here for daughter's graduation celebration. The food was average the wait staff was not good and the manager was little help. Could be a nice destination if it was ran properly. Would not recommend for a special occasion.'s read more

It had a sour smell to the entire place like old water. The hostess was nice. The waitress was ok, a little dismissive. Food portions were super small. Shrimp scampi had no flavor, I had to add Alfredo sauce. The largest pizza would not feed a family, we had to order more. Prices don't match the food nor the service. They need an upgrade real bad. I would never eat there again over all. read more

We had a really good lunch at Puccini yesterday. We had only two complaints; one was that smoking is permitted on the patio and the other is the noise. Not much they can do about that, though, as a highway and a main road box the property in. The outside patio was pretty busy but Amber, our server, kept things moving. She was attentive and timely. I ordered the caprese salad, which was delicious except for the balsamic glaze being laid on a little too heavily. The man had the meatball sub with the chips (which were fantastic). He said it was really good. A nice spot for a good meal. read more

We got takeout one time .....service was SO horrible New to the area. We will give it another try. Got a couple pizzas ...they were ok . But the way that we were greeted .....or should i say ... not greeted and the service was horrible. They acted as if we weren't supposed to be there at that time!!' lol It was very weird. We'll try again ........ read more

Went here for Father's Day and this place was amazing! The service was good and food top notch in taste/quality. Gem place while visiting here. We had: - Crab dip with cheese - Chicken Marsala - Crab soup - Bee cake read more

The inside has such a warm and cozy feel in the winter time. Service is always nice. The food is decent. Good pizzas and sandwiches. I don't live in this area but usually have this as a stop to rest and refuel when passing through. read more

I stopped here for lunch with a coworker. He swears by the wood fired pizza here, but I was looking for a low carb option and decided to try the wings. They came out hot and fresh, but not as crispy as I prefer. Still, they were tasty and hit the spot for lunch. The order came with 8 wings and only cost $8, so I thought it was a pretty good deal. My coworker ordered the hot chicken pizza which looked and smelled amazing. I would be interested in trying the pizza on my next visit. The restaurant itself is an old, historic building. The layout is rather interesting with different rooms at varying heights, requiring patrons to step up or down accordingly. The menu has a story with some of the history or the place, which I enjoyed reading. Our server was friendly and polite, no complaints there. Food was brought out about 10 minutes after ordering and they had no problem splitting the check for us. read more

took so long made my poor grandma sit in there and the mints are covered in pee according to her

The servers were kind and nice the atmosphere felt old world and going to a neighbors house for dinner. The food fell flat. I ordered a simple personal cheese pizza and was let down. The sauce is thin runny and definitely tastes like those 80s make at home pizza kits from Krogers. The cheese was nice but couldn't make up for the "wood fired" dough being chewy and unimpressive with no bite. Could definitely been left in the oven a bit longer and cut in better portions. I didn't try anything else on the menu as I was drawn in by the pizza but this one is a skip from me. Plenty of parking and a nice outside dining area. read more

Cuisine seems unauthentic; microwaved. Ambience needs some work; Italian music was expected, but heard 50s & 60s music. No bread served prior to meal, as is done in authentic Italian restaurants. Hostess wasn't friendly. Wine list extremely limited. Heard complaints from another guest , (a bartender) about her Espresso martini. read more

We've driven past this restaurant at least 50 times on our travels, but never stopped. We are glad we finally tried it. There's a ton of history, if that interests you. We stopped in on a Saturday evening and it was very busy. The parking lot is a little funky, but we were able to find a spot. When we walked in, we were greeted immediately and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside - we did not have a preference. The kind lady sent us down to the cellar where we were seated. Cellar is the perfect description - in a good way. Service was spot on. We ordered a wedge salad, pickle pizza, and buffalo chicken pizza. The wedge salad was good - I wish it had a little drizzle of balsamic to cut through the blue cheese, but I love blue cheese, so it was good as is. The pizza was the bomb. We all agreed that both were delicious, but the pickle pizza was our favorite. Great dill flavor with plenty of pickles and cheese. It's definitely an old school vibe inside - it appeared as though there were multiple places for seating. Cool place with great service and delicious food. We won't drive by next time. read more

Definitely best pizza I've ever had!! Everything is amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Will travel the 40 mins again, and again!!

The best pizza in Cumberland on Ali Ghan Rd and my favorite place to eat outdoors. The outdoor balcony is 100% dog friendly. I love the woodfired pizza. Warning you will be fighting over the last slice of pizza, and the never have leftovers kind of pizza. They have my favorite cakes here tiramisu, bee sting cake and Italian love cake (It lives up to its name). The specialty pizzas are the best they have unique combinations that just work. Great selection of tap beer enough choices to keep everyone happy. They have happy hour on Friday only from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. read more

First visit for myself and my aunt from out of town. The MOST EXCELLENT food! A+++ on the Italian... the Lasagna was the BEST i've had in ages! Customer service was POINT ON and our waiter Hayden ( not 100 on spelling) definitely deserves a raise! He was the sweetest with my aunt, personable and made the meal even better if possible! Thanks for a GREAT dining experience!!! Ps-The CRAB DIP is TO DIE FOR!!! read more

Service as slow as molasses on a winter day... Took them 1.5 hours to cook us two pizzas and one sandwich. Our waitress only checked on us twice during the cooking time. Food came out cold so the waitress obviously was more concerned about socializing than doing her job. read more

We came here for dinner on a drive from NC to Somerset. The building is beautiful and the outdoor patio was big. Hostess looked a bit overwhelmed but friendly. After a 30-minute wait, we were seated. We ordered our drinks and waited about 10 minutes for our drinks. Liz, our waitress, was friendly and polite. It took forever to get our food. I got a side salad with their homemade balsamic dressing which was sweet. It was ok. My son got the chicken Cesar. The dressing was again, sweet. Odd. I got the veggie pizza which was undercooked. My son got the garlic breadsticks which took forever to come out as our appetizer. It was a cheese pizza with marinara on the side. I looked it up again. It said sticks. Confusing. But it tasted good. Meh. My son had the penne pizza which had a few noodles on it. It was a solid meh. read more

We were visiting the area and our hotel recommended this place. We had a nice table outside because the weather was amazing. Our service was a little slow and it took about 20 mins for the appetizer to come out. I forgot to take any photos of the food! We had the crab dip, appetizer, I was expecting more with that. But the flatbread it was served with was really good. I had the barbecue pizza and it was amazing. my husband had the chicken Parmesan and again that was delicious as well. The food was great and the prices were not bad at all. We even got dessert to bring home and the total for everything was around $100 with tip. read more

Margarita pizza: Really. Zero flavor from the crust to the rubber cheese... just the worst. Service was slow for only two tables. Green pepper soup was good, needed to be warmed. But the cream of crab soup... even came with a couple of shells. Over all: one and done. read more

The food is always good here!!!!! It is very nice in the summer because then you can sit outside. Very pleasant experience.

Puccini's used to be our favorite restaurant stop anytime we traveled from MD to WV. We stopped by the other day and were completely disappointed by their pizza. I don't know what have they done to the recipe but it was not what it used to be. This time it tasted like a stale flatbread bought from the store and reheated in the oven. No chewiness, the sauce was not tasty either. Very disappointed. Sadly we have to find a different food stop now! read more

The atmosphere had a casual, even in main dining. The staff, Alyssa, was phenomenal. She was on point with recommendations of items from the menu, follow-ups, and personable. Her customer service was outstanding. The cream of crab soup was tasty and not too thick. The chicken wings were fresh, crispy, and had great seasonings. I tried the Buffalo wings and garlic parmasean. A good experience. read more

The service has been excellent both times we visited which is such a treat in today's world of servers not caring about the service they provide. I had a Bloody Mary at one of the visits that was awesome. We got pizza and pasta and both were good. We will definitely go back. read more

Hubs and I went here on a Friday night on our way to Ohio. The service was friendly and fast. Nice atmosphere and it was quite busy when we got there around 7. We started with the zucchini fries. They were hot, crispy and salty. My hubs who doesn't really like zucchini loved them. It was hard to stop eating them. I was intrigued by the dill pickle pizza and asked the server about it. She declared it her favorite pizza there. Sold!! I ordered it. My hubs ordered the Chicago pizza. The pizza dill pickle pizza was delicious. Just the right amount of of pickles and dill. It was amazing. Hubs enjoyed his Chicago style. We would definitely go again. Great experience. read more

Puccini's has one of my favorite pizza. The honey bbq chicken is a wonderful blend of sweet and tart flavors. The dough/crust is thin and baked to a perfect crispness. The staff are all very nice and helpful. The Amish is really cool. The history of this place and the way they have maintained the original structures and looks is great. This is my go to in the Cumberland area. read more

Up the road a couple of miles from downtown Cumberland, Puccini's is a fun restaurant with good food. I sat at the bar for quite a while as my gf gave a talk in a room upstairs. As I sat at the bar and chatted with other diners, I was pleased to see the good draft list. The servers were all nice and checked me for refills or food options. The small (in name only as it was very generous) Caesar salad was delicious and I liked that anchovies were optional but not extra. Later I ordered a plain cheese pizza, my test of a pizza is a basic cheese since if you can't make that pie then it's downhill from there. We happily devoured the pie. The rooms looked nice and they had upstairs seating for private parties or events. The outdoor seating looked fine but it was too muggy for me. If we're passing through the area again, we'll stop for the good food and service. read more

The food was fantastic! The servers were happy and upbeat. There was room for our stroller and a high chair, not crowded at all. The bathrooms had a baby changing station (we used it! Thank you!). The historical aspect of the building radiated everywhere, drawing you into learning more! The menu had the history too. We ordered the crab dip (10/10), Chicago pizza (8/10 only because I should have asked for fewer onions), chicken Alfredo pizza (9/10), kids pepperoni pizza (10/10) (same size as adult individual pizza!), and chicken Parmesan (9/10). Cold beer! Loved this place and wish we didn't live 10 hours away! read more
