OUR STORY

Cugino’s Restaurant in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, serves a varied menu that combines Italian and American flavors. For more than thirty years, it has been part of the local community, specializing in homemade Italian-American dishes made with fresh ingredients.

Guests can try favorites like New York–style calamari sautéed with garlic and capers, or Chicken Pesto paired with tortellini in a rich, creamy pesto sauce. Other highlights include a Gorgonzola Burger topped with bacon and served with French fries, as well as Shrimp Scampi with fresh garlic and cherry tomatoes over linguine. Cugino’s offers a welcoming spot where classic homemade cooking is paired with a vibrant dining experience.
