The dishes that this team puts together in that kitchen are absolutely magical and filled with flavor. I discovered them a few years ago when I had a craving for fresh homemade pasta. The pasta is made fresh daily and also sold by the pound for take home meals. I don't get the pleasure of dining in often because it's always packed when I visit but this time there was a lonely table waiting for me. The restaurant is small and intimate. Casual but perfect for a date night or solo dining. In the summertime they have picnic tables outside to dine at as well. The focaccia bread is made in house daily and is served warm with a drizzle of good olive oil and flakey salt. Don't ever skip out on the bread!! The cucumber salad was inspiring. The cucumbers were served on a bed of hazelnut fava bean hummus??? Excuse me? My mouth is still watering from looking at the photos. It was so fresh and tangy. The pasta dish was warm, filling and cozy. It settled in all the right places and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. The chocolate chip cookies are also a must!! I'm not sure if they use cake flour or something because the cookies are crunchy on the edges but think and chewy once warmed up. They are not skimping on the chocolate inside either! Overall my meal was perfect, I cannot wait to dine here again to taste the love and magic that goes into each dish. PS- the menu is mostly seasonal so try what you can before the menu changes!

I love this pasta shop so much and can't wait to be back in Nyack to enjoy another one of their incredible pasta dishes. Be sure to try their piccolo negroni (absolutely incredible!) or if you're feeling something more light go for the not a spritz, you will not regret hehe.

Outstanding. A full rack of tender, flavorful, juicy baby rib chops served with broccoli rabe and roasted potatoes. OMG. While devouring this meal, I was a bit without words. Did I mention it was a full rack?! We also enjoyed a bottle of their house Cabernet with dinner. Very smooth and a solid table wine for the price.

I don't live local anymore so I've only done takeout in recent times, that might be why quality seems lower.

All the cheese was glued to the top of the containers when we got it home because they used too much, and then tightly packaged them while still piping hot. And the flavor, nonexistent. The chicken parm, the eggplant parm, the ziti with it, none of it has any flavor. And none of it was crispy.

I picked a beautiful spot, and almost immediately Kenny brought me sparkling water, complimentary eggplant caponata, and bread that tasted like it had been baked by someone in heaven! I started with the Millefoglie Di Melanzane "Alla Mamma Carolina"--thinly layered eggplant, San Marzano D.O.P. tomato sauce, and 18-month Parmigiano Reggiano. I make eggplant Parmesan at home, but this was on an entirely different level. Absolutely out of this world. As a special favor, they also prepared a half portion of Buccatini Carbonara for me: Roman-style bucatini with guanciale, egg, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper. My only complaint? I didn't get the full portion! It was outstanding. For my main course, I ordered the Costatella Di Cervo, a marinated venison chop with red wine, juniper berries, and herbs, chargrilled and served over soft Ribiola cheese polenta with port wine and fresh figs. I normally wouldn't order venison, but I am so glad I took the chance. It was spectacular--tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Dessert was the Italian ricotta cheesecake, and I had a decaf cappuccino with foam that was like whipped cream The restaurant itself is charming and beautifully decorated, the service is truly exquisite, and the food is beyond belief.

While Tua Cocina is primarily known as a Mexican restaurant, they're hiding a secret that pizza lovers need to know about: they serve what might just be the best New York-style pizza north of NYC. In an unexpected twist, this Mexican eatery has mastered the art of the perfect slice. Their NYC-style pizza is nothing short of phenomenal. The crust strikes that ideal balance - thin and crispy, with just the right amount of chew. It's sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, yet pliable enough to achieve that classic New York fold. The sauce is flavorful without overwhelming the other components, providing a tangy base that complements the high-quality cheese and toppings perfectly. Speaking of cheese, they don't skimp here. Each slice is generously covered with gooey, stretchy mozzarella that hits all the right notes. What's truly impressive is how authentic this pizza tastes. Close your eyes, take a bite, and you might just believe you've been transported to a classic pizzeria in the heart of Manhattan. It's clear that whoever is behind this pizza knows exactly what they're doing. While it might seem odd to seek out pizza at a Mexican restaurant, trust me - this is a side hustle that deserves main-billing. Whether you're a New York transplant craving a taste of home, or a local looking to experience top-tier NYC pizza without the long drive, Tua Cocina's pizza is an absolute must-try. In a sea of mediocre attempts at New York-style pizza, Tua Cocina stands out as a beacon of authenticity and quality. It's a hidden gem that pizza enthusiasts will want to shout about from the rooftops. So next time you're in the mood for a slice, don't let the restaurant's main cuisine fool you - Tua Cocina is serving up pizza magic that rivals the best of the Big Apple. read more

This place is Amazing!!! They give you salsa and chips, then they give you some quesadillas. When you order your food it come with in 10 minuets. It's so awesome. At the end when your finished with your food and like about 10 minuets after they come and give you some ice cream and a bunell. A bunell is a a banana rapped in a fried funnel cake. I don't know if it's a funnel cake but its so good!!!! If you don't like banana or funnel cakes. Then they will just give you some ice cream. Over all this place is amazing and so unique, I highly recommend it!!!!! read more
