Always fresh hot cleaning and ready to go well packed great staff parking is difficult but worth it. also has bakery right next-door, Italian bread, coffee, cookies, pastry, specialty cakes, strawberry shortcake. read more

Their menu offers oven gold turkey and maple glazed turkey. Each time I order the maple glazed, I get oven gold. It isn't worth making another trip to get a new sandwich made, but for the price you should get what you order. Especially since it isn't a one-time mistake. read more

I ordered fries I like mush fries that cost nine dollars and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich which was all bread and the smallest inside and they have the nerve to charge $20 for a sandwich so I paid $30 for a sandwich with no steak in it french fries that's ridiculous. I would never go there again completely overrated.!!!!! read more

Abs loveee it here. Both sides of the restaurant I abs love. The girls here are so sweet every time I come in. The sandwhiches are all so good. Fave is the tuna. It's delicious here. It's definitely a call ahead and pick up spot, as they are always very busy. Pricing is great. Def a must try when in Staten Island! read more

Everything is always outstanding and the girl that work the counter are kind and great people! Food is phenomenal can't go wrong with anything they have . read more

It's always packed here, and for mediocre food. I don't understand the hype. Parking is abysmal, seating is terrible and you wait 2 hours for a warm chicken parm. read more

TLDR; Great food, great bread, fast service. Royal Cucina is an icon for Staten Island! Their food is consistently so fresh and delicious. I love to get sandwiches, and my favorite is the chicken parm, this time I got it with vodka sauce. The bread is just so unique, phenomenal light crispy outside texture and pillowy inside feel. Definitely the highlight of the sandwich. After all, they are affiliated with Artesian Bakery, which specializes in bread and baked goods. I can't possible overrate their service, they have a well oiled system from the 15+(estimate) kitchen staff mini army to the energetic and quick cashiers. Props to them. The ambiance is very particular to their brand and style. I love the design and comfortable feel inside of the restaurant. read more

The food is superb. The service is phenomenal. The ambience is cozy like being in the front yard of Italy.

Ordered pick up thru Uber eats on a busy Sunday afternoon. Food was ready quicker than expected. Penne vodka, grilled chicken mesclun salad, broccoli rabe side and eggplant Parm hero. Food was amazing. Particularly happy with the eggplant Parm. One of the best I've ever tasted. Would order these dishes again. read more

Delicious food to go! The staff is friendly and efficient. The bakery bread is fresh, the sandwiches are packed to the brim with tasty ingredients, it's very affordable, and your appetite is satiated in full. One of my favorite places, I always swing by when I'm in the area. Note that if you order a personal round pizza pie ($9.95) it takes 20 minutes to prepare. My grilled chicken mozzarella arugula hero sandwich ($14) was ready in just a few minutes. Better to call in the order for pickup so it's ready . read more

Best ribeye steak sandwiches around! Whole thin sliced ribeye steak served with fresh mozzarella and sautéed onions on soft freshly baked bread - the icing on the cake is the balsamic vinaigrette that you pour on top. I wish they had one closer to me in NJ but for now I will pay the toll and make my way to Staten Island for the best steak sandwiches. read more

The best thing about Royal cucina is the food is hot and kept hot. Not like other places that refrigerate the food. The best grilled chicken I've ever had. The burgers are delicious too. On the plus side they deliver. read more

Pasta, a staple in many cuisines around the world, has been praised for its versatility and ability to complement a wide range of flavors. However, there are unfortunate occasions when pasta falls short of its reputation, leaving us with a dish that is disappointingly bland. Which was basically this dish that I got from them. This dish was so oily. I was actually craving for some pasta to and I never went to this spot wanted to give this place a try. For years I heard soo much good things about this spot too and it just fell behind. I just wish there was more flavor in this. read more

Royal Cucina - broccoli rab and sausage pasta - New American Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Stoped by on the way coming home from Delaware. The outdoor dining is perfect for a afternoon Meal. Seeing all the food rush by, everything looked amazing. The bakery looks out of this world. Portion are oversized. My husband and I had the shrimp parmigiana. The bread and sauce, and fresh mozzarella was one of the best I have ever had. The cappuccino was quite good too. I took a few pictures Of the pastries, they where looking too good. Next to me I come back will have to save room for desert, the hero we order was a Monster size. read more

I think they win for the dryest rainbow cookies on the planet. I'll pass next time.

I order from here frequently. Very good eggplant rollatini, stuffed mushrooms, rice balls and pastries.

Fried eggplant sandwich was ok. It needed to be cut thinner and fried crispier. The batter was falling off. The bread on the sandwich was good and the mozzarella wasnt bad but probably not a sandwich I would go back for. Seems like they have an extensive menu so maybe I will try something else next time read more

royal cucina is the best eva! i really love their delectable dishes their salads and sandwiches!

Consistently great food. Decent to go service. Fast delivery. Get the balsamic reduction !

I NEVER write reviews but I felt like I have to after yesterday. I used to love this business but the last few times I've been there the counter girls in the deli/to go area have been EXTREMELY rude and nasty, and the food is just not the same as it used to be... definitely not worth the price. Went yesterday and had GLASS in my rice ball and was still charged since I ate half of it already. This was only after giving it another shot from having a bug in my salad the LAST time I was there... such a shame and a turn off. Don't plan on giving them business anymore. read more

Horrible customer service, my order is always half correct n their to busy and arrogant when I call, they say sorry but we're BUSY and it's a build ur own steak sandwich it ain't come with onions, you have to order it. so let me get this straigt, I had to ask you to toast the bread, I had to ask u for balsamic glaze that I never got. Did get 2 Dry sandwiches with NO onions for $32 you keep the receipt; both of them, u won't even give the customer a receipt.... what else ? read more

This is so sad to say that the best sandwich shop on the island went straight into the shitter. For two sandwich rolls $38. Really? Then on top of that they FORGOT to put balsamic glaze in my bag and when I mention it the little bitch rolls her eyes and says "I'm gonna have to charge you so whenever you decide on a size lmk" like I won't slap her from old town road to Kentucky. Crazy what they hire now a days. I miss the old royal. Save your money and their chicken taste like it's been soaked in a mop bucket. Lost a valued customer. read more

The food was great My girls told they have great sandwiches and they do Expensive but it's worth it The bakery is crazy love All they have The service was good Too small for the inside dining area read more

Looks very nice but disappointing. Portions are generous but the pear salad was pretty tasteless. I asked for extra dressing and bottles of their balsamic and oil were brought but in the middle of my meal it was taken away because another table needed it - kind of tacky. It was just as well so I decided to take home the rest of my salad to add some ingredients or other dressing to make it taste good. This was after we asked for new glasses of water because the first ones tasted like the glasses hadn't been rinsed. To be fair, the person I was with enjoyed their sausage & peppers and the service was good. Outdoor eating was very comfortable but the street noise, whic h they couldn't control, and the music which they could, were unpleasant. I was also pretty disappointed that they had no gluten free pasta. That eliminated a lot of the menu. No need for me to return read more

Nice place where you can sit outside and enjoy great weather with real Italian food. My boyfriend loved the like rib eye hero and the fried calamari was delicious, but they didn't give me tartar sauce with it. House salad with grilled chicken was very delicious. read more

Spent $13+ for a chicken CEASAER salad just to have no Caesar dressing in my bag!. I don't get it. It's already bad enough I had to wait close to 30 mins just for a salad( that I called in for btw)(bc I asked for a boiled eggs; and I'm guess they were waiting on the chicken to lay the egg before boiling it -____- )and then on top of that, I couldn't enjoy my salad. Unfortunately the distance did not allow me to come back but I am very unsatisfied bc I know this is a reputable place in the neighborhood and I enjoy buying food from here; however this is unacceptable. Total waste of money. Important: Food --5 stars Service--2 stars Accuracy --2 stars read more

I enjoyed my sausage and peepers with onions. The bread was great. The taste of the bread, texture and the softness was on point. The sausage was fresh and has a great taste. And the peppers an onions were the perfect compliment. We sat outside, the weather was nice and our waitress was very attentive and good at her job. It was a solid lunch menu. I will be back. read more

Use to be a big fan of this place until recently they decided to start charging a delivery charge for employees at Staten Island university hospital ! The reasoning they gave is because we are "to close" to me that is backwards !! How can you charge a delivery fee to frontline workers after the pandemic we just went through that is sad. Bad move royal crown read more

Very slow service. Very. On the plus side, it's a relaxed setting, and you never feel like you are being rushed out. Normally very crowded, and when you sit outside, you are constantly reminded that you are in a very busy street. Lots of horn honking. Food is good, and the prices are fair. read more

The food is ok, but I do find the service to be slow. I asked for iced tea and I had to remind her after my meal was brought to me. read more

Royal Cucina - Ordered Spaghetti and Meatballs, pretty good. - New American Near Me - Staten Island, New York

The food is great but the girls behind the counter taking the order for pick up or delivery are very rude and nasty

Sad excuse for a pizza. I walked in hoping to get some good pizza and it was terrible. Would not recommend

My first time there and I really have nothing positive to say about the restaurant. My friend and I sat outdoors and had to wait 10 minutes just to get a glass of water, and that was after bring ignored by a waitress having a chat with someone. My seafood salad was fresh but underdressed. My friend could have finished 2 omelets by the time she got the bagel that was supposed to come with it. Not enough salt and pepper shakers for the outside tables. Maybe the service isn't usually like this, I don't know, but the food was not any big deal to make me want to to try again. read more

Very great food, but they have HORRIBLE customer service when it comes to calling in an order!! Called 4 times and the phone just rang for a few minutes and would just drop!! You should have someone at least answer and place a potential paying customer on hold!! Not answering your phones during active business hours is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE!! read more

True service is slow and they often get the order wrong but I keep coming back because the food is soooo good!

Horrible service. Delivery driver actually said to my little brother, who I made go get my food, "no tip?" Thank god he didn't ask me that because that would have been a problem. Meanwhile I had the tip put on my card over the phone. Food is great love it. Tuna panini is my favorite. That driver better never come back to my house. Because his ass will be grass. And to the older lady who rushes me off the phone she sucks too. Thank god for the food because the service is bad bad bad read more

Ordered Fried Calamari that wasn't bad except in the box it was delivered in was the kitchen dupe the person who packed it left inside so it was soaked and stuck to the food, so half the order was ruined. Also was ordered 2 orders of Penne Ala Vodka, 1 With Chicken. Both had practically no sauce dry as can be and the 1 with chicken was a joke you had to search for the chicken if I tell you there was probably 4-5 slices of chicken I was in shock.Anywhere I had this order there usually peas in the order, NOTHING.Just Pasta that was so dry, when delivered you would think there would be a couple of pieces of Italian bread, not a slice. This is after spending $43.00,NEVER AGAIN read more

The food is OK that's why I'm not giving this place one star. This place has the worst service in NYC. I've been here a few times and every time the waitresses are rude and insanely slow. Food is not good enough to equate the horrible service. read more

I had a fried chicken hero that made me sick and throw up a hour later I call to get a refund and they told me it's not their problem and I would of had to bring the food back that I threw up read more

I've only ever ordered pizza from here and it is probably the best I've ever tasted. The cheese is so fresh and the crust is fantastic. The sauce is delicious. I don't know about anything else at this place, but their pizza is superb. read more
