    Vodka chicken parm hero
    Mohamed K.

    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.

    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 .

    Ribeye steak sandwich
    Patricia G.

    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.

    broccoli rab and sausage pasta
    Mickie K.

    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.

    I have been wanting to come here ever since it was recommended to us. The parking is horrendous…read more There is a gravel parking lot in front with only about 10 spaces and then a road in front of that where most of it you can't park because it's peoples houses and they have signs and cones up to not park there. We spend a half hour trying to park in two spots that were too small. I recommend getting there before 5:30 or after 8 to avoid a parking nightmare. We made a reservation for 2 at 7. Recommend making a reservation. Service is slow and didn't really talk to us, the waiter was very quiet but nice. Bread and water was brought out quickly. The standout was the stuffed mushrooms. 5 stuffed mushrooms and they were not soggy at all. The sauce was light and delicate. The stuffing was like fluffy bread stuffing on thanksgiving. It had vegetables in it. Never had a stuffed mushroom this good. I got the pappardelle with veal and it was delicious. Huge portion had to take half of it home. I was expecting ground veal but no this was chunks! They were very tender and delicious. The sauce was standout. It was buttery and light at the same time, perfect red sauce. My husband got an eggplant pasta dish. It was a bit too spicy for me but he liked it. Prices are reasonable was around 75 plus tip for us. The inside is nice and cozy and airy. Really cool this place has been open for more than 100 years!

For main I went with the fettuccine bolognese. The pasta is fresh made in house and was amazing. And the bolognese sauce was delicious and just the right Spice. My plate was clean by the end. For dessert I went with the Italian cheesecake. It was made into a cute cupcake with whipped cream and glaze. Overall was a great meal and will come back

The restaurant was quiet when we arrived and we were seated at a wonderful table overlooking the lake.

The servers were friendly, attentive, and helped make the experience easy and enjoyable. Food The food was solid across the board. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and flavorful. We ordered the calamari, vegetable pasta with added chicken, pork chop, steak, and spicy seafood. The standout dish was definitely the pork chop, but every dish was enjoyable. Overall This is a great spot for a special occasion or a family meal. Between the beautiful lake views, welcoming service, and good food, we had a very pleasant experience. I would recommend it and would happily return when I'm in the area again.
