    Cucinella's brick oven pizzeria
    Mike M.

    Great pizza came here after going to Madison blue springs only about 10 minutes away. Great pizza definitely worth the drive and great customer service as well

    What an amazing surprise! Just off the highway this cute little town is hiding one of the best pizza restaurants in the South! Nice set up inside with a chalk wall for kids and two separate dining areas capable of holding larger groups. Coke products available (which is always a plus) and the best Garlic knots you will ever have in your life! Soft and chewy on the inside, slight crispiness on the outside with a sharp Parmesan flavor permeating throughout! If you thought the appetizer was good then wait till you try the pizza! Perfectly cooked and not skimping on the toppings! Gooey, cheesy goodness is the only way to describe it. Exploding with flavor and perfectly proportioned! Do yourself a favor and come off the highway on your next trip to try this amazing restaurant! Expect a 30 minute wait for food.

    This place is SOOOO good! Not too far off the interstate! Haven't had a bad experience ever. We have had their subs, pizzas, and pastas. All delicious. The staff treats their customers like family and always have a smile.

    This locally owned place has great food! I found out that you order at the counter. Having never been here before we looked over the menu and ordered. I had the calzone with onions in addition to the meat. My brother had the spaghetti and meatballs. I was so pleasantly surprised and even though the onions that I thought would be inside the calzone was outside, everything was delicious. The calzone was the best I've ever had! I can't wait to come back to this local hole in the wall!

    I've gotten pizza and salads here a few times. It was all ok. The pizza makes me think the oven isn't hot enough. They are all nice.

    We go here regularly, and the food is always good. We've been going to Taco Tuesdays because the…read moretacos are SO good, plus they make homemade salsa and homemade queso. I've been craving a taco pizza and asked if they might be able to make it on a Tuesday since they have everything needed, and they said they could. It's Tuesday, and I ordered the pizza over the phone, just picked it up, and started eating it... this is the BEST taco pizza I have ever had (I've had quite a few). Rich, the pizza master, used refried beans with queso for the base, then added meat, olives, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. I haven't eaten this much food in a while. I cannot wait until next Tuesday!

We got there got sat down right away and had an awesome server named Sissy, its alot Bigger once you get inside, and the atmosphere, color scheme and music ambiance is a perfect trifecta. We ordered 2 of our favorite Italian appetizers, if they are on the menu at a restaurant we always order them Mozzarella Caprese and Bruschetta. And then order our main meals. They were perfectly spaced apart so that we could enjoy each item.Sissy checked back with us regularly to make sure we were good, some excellent service!! Not only only are they in my Top 3 Italian spots, they have taken over the #1 spot in North Florida!! There isnt a thing i can say negatively about this restaurant, only thing i wish it were in Gainesville!! Whatever you got do to get out to Branford to try them out, DO IT!! ! They do own a restaurant same name in Lake city but i havent tried them. And the Tiramusu is homemade and AMAZING!!

When I arrived to pick up the dinner, they were closed and I waited for 30 minutes. While waiting, I left numerous messages at Rocco's Italian Restaurant since the food truck is obviously owned by the restaurant. No one answered or returned any of my calls. Later in the week i did speak with Stephanie who said yes, the food truck didn't open that day as they had an event and it was their online vendor Door Dash, who took payment and we should deal with Door Dash. i just spoke with the truck operator on the phone and he talked to the owner and confirmed we would have to deal with Door Dash. Door dash is the vendor they use for online ordering and the customer should not be responsible to resolve. Really? Wouldn't it have been the correct customer service thing to do and give your loyal customer the food they ordered (and always enjoyed) Instead of telling them to try and get their money back from Door Dash? Try to retain customers instead of refusing to make things right? It just doesn't make sense to me.

    Mangia! Never would have expected to find such a great Italian deli here in Florida. Counter…read moreservice was so polite. Table delivery came as items were finished. Lasagna portions could definitely serve 2 for lunch. Garlic knots were some of the best I've had- you're going to want more than the 1 served with your entree. Flatbread pizza was tasty. Very thinly sliced eggplant for the parm: kudos! Breading was thin but held up nicely to the sauce. Sauce flavor is bright and tastes just crushed. Only observation is that a little bit of olive oil and garlic with extended cooking time would produce a deeper flavor but to each his own. We fo enjoyed our lunch: worth jumping off the highway.

I expected to walk into the scent of marinara, herbs and garlic wafting through the air but no real Italian restaurant vibe going on. Pasta is overcooked (soft). Marinara has no flavor and a little watery. Salad looked better than it tasted with blah olives fresh from a can where they were soaked in water. Lady at the counter wore the same pair of gloves doing numerous activities over the course of 45 minutes. Other employees sat around a table staring at their phones looking totally checked out while chairs were left out in the way, random leftover Napkins were on tables and dirty dishes stacked up at the return station. Not worth it.

(Do not go to the existing one in TLH on Bannerman. Not the same at all!) The service was superb and our glasses were never empty even though the waitress was very busy. We ordered the fried Mozzarella (fried cheese) appetizer and the stuffed mushrooms. The sauce under the fried cheese was some of the best marinara that I've ever had. It had a tad of sweetness to it. The cheese was topped with reduced balsamic glaze. I want to go back just for this! The crab stuffed mushrooms are not my cup of tea- but they were crabby. I ordered the Delmonico Ribeye with a side of spaghetti with meat sauce. The steak was perfectly seared and the right temperature. My brother ordered the Spaghetti alla Bruzzi. His taster has been off and said that it didn't taste the same. I tried it and it was as I remembered. The salads were good but don't expect Andy French or Thousand Island dressing or honey mustard. For dessert bro and his daughter chose the banana pudding cheesecake. They inhaled it. If they had an outdoor space for well behaved dogs I would be there weekly!
