Pasta Cucina of Suffern

I've eaten lunch here twice and feel that the food is above average. Located on very busy N. Airmont Road in Suffern, it sits on a small strip mall next to a tile/flooring business. There is a tiny parking lot right outside the restaurant and I can imagine it gets hectic on busy evenings and weekends. Driving past here on Mother's Day, I noticed the line was out the door. Entering the restaurant, you are greeted by a hostess who seats you. There are several daily specials printed on a large blackboard, as well as tucked into your menu. The fare is predominately Italian and you can have a decent meal here. Typical entrees include meats, pasta, seafood, and chicken. Lunchtime usually includes a sandwich or wrap selection. I've enjoyed pasta (spinch ravioli and eggplant stuffed manicotti) as an entree which was accompanied by a mixed green salad. Basic fare, not fancy but prepared to order and tasty. Bread comes with all orders and desserts are also available. Wine, beer and soft drinks are available. more

Pasta Cucina is a well known restaurant in Rockland. The lines are often out the door and it is a popular "date" place for those in the County. However, I have eaten there many times and have never been completely impressed. The menu is pricey, the place is loud, and the food is average. What I do enjoy is going for lunch, as they have great lunch specials, significantly more affordable, and a calmer, more sedate crowd. I always ask for vodka sauce on my side of pasta, which is by far my favorite thing there (maybe I should just get it for the main course!!) Overall, PC is not at the top of my list in the County, but you could certainly do worse for a business lunch. more
