Awesome food! Atmosphere in the basement is so rustic and the wood fired oven is cool and the pizza was great!
Got there with no reservations after a graduation in FSU on Thursday around 11:40 Got seated right away. Very friendly servers. We got our drinks within minutes. Pizzas are luxury delicious…. If you want a good cup of coffee…. Skip it!!! Not there….
We ordered the fried mushrooms, they were good. My wife got the tomato and veggie soup, it was delicious. My stepdaughter got the cream of crab and it was delicious. We got a lasagna, chicken Alfredo, chicken parm and I got a pickle pizza that was incredible! Highly recommend this historic place. Everything from adventurous bar food to more upscale it was delicious, and the price point wasn't bad at all! Highly recommended.
Been here a few times over the years. The consistency is excellent. Menu is pretty large and that's usually a turn off for me but after trying different things, they all turn out great. Pro-tip, if you get a pizza with lots of toppings, knife and fork time. The dough they use is great but not super structural. Take that how you will, the big pizzas are still excellent.
Awesome staff, awesome food, awesome pizza, awesome drinks. Awesome value.... I could keep going - At Puccini we had 4 wine flights, 4 spiked spiced ciders and 2 pizzas that were awesome with leftovers for dinner. Definitely go to Puccini
My wife and I absolutely loved this place! The building has an amazing history and looks really cool. On top of that, the food was delicious. The wood-fired pizza was terrific; fresh ingredients really make a difference. Excellent local beers on tap and you can get a flight to sample them. If you're anywhere nearby or just passing through, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. You're gonna love it!
Great food in a cute atmosphere! We had a group of 7 and sat comfortably in one of the front rooms of an old house converted to restaurant. Everyone's meals were great!
This was everything the hype said and more! Came here from out of town, first the location is so cool! The staff was so friendly and caring. The food came out quickly and it was absolutely incredible! The wood fire pizza was out of this world! A BBQ chicken pizza with ranch, wow- just wow!! Can’t wait to come back here in the future.
A gem on the outskirts of Cumberland, MD. This historical building has a rich history. My group decided to stop for dinner on the way home from a weekend trip. We were greeted pleasantly and encouraged to be seated in the pizza cellar. The food and drinks were delicious. This establishment is well worth the cost of dining here for the experience and atmosphere.
We ordered a full spread from Puccini Restaurant and brought it back to our hotel, and overall, it delivered exactly what you want from a solid Italian-American spot. Our order included a House Salad, Chicken Dumpling Soup, Crab Cake Platter with Sweet Potato Fries, Penne & Cheese, Steak with Baked Potato, BBQ Chicken Pizza, and the Crab Dip with Breadsticks. The Crab Dip with Breadsticks was a rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The breadsticks paired perfectly and held up well even after travel. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was another highlight. The crust was sturdy with a good texture, and the balance of BBQ sauce, chicken, and cheese worked really well without being overwhelming. The Steak with Baked Potato was hearty and satisfying, classic comfort food done right. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. The Crab Cake Platter had great flavor, and the Sweet Potato Fries complemented it nicely. The Chicken Dumpling Soup was warm and comforting, exactly what you’d expect from a homemade-style soup. The Penne & Cheese kept things simple but hit that comfort food note perfectly. It had such a rich and velvety smooth texture and flavor. Of let's not forget the house dressing, bright, flavorful, just scrumptious. Even as takeout, everything held up well by the time we got back to the hotel, which speaks to consistency and quality. Overall: Puccini Restaurant offers generous portions, solid flavor, and dependable comfort food. It’s not trying to be overly upscale and doesn’t need to be. It delivers exactly what it promises, and does it well.
