Lucky Me- Mom had a gift certificate to Lil Cucci's and she took me there for lunch. I love this Italian Restaurant in Forest, Virginia. Lil’ Cucci’s is owned by Maurizio and Shari Cucci and has a great family atmosphere. Not only are you greeted by Maurizio when you enter the restaurant, he calls you by name.
Located in the Forest Square Shopping Center, Lil Cucci's does a brisk business so you may have to wait for a seat but it's worth it. The food is awesome- we had the Lil Cucci's Special Calzone which was stuffed with pepperoni, peppers, onions, cheese and a whole lot of yum. Lil’ Cucci’s offers great pizza’s (my favorite is the veggie), appetizers, calzones, salads; dinners including spaghetti, lasagna, chicken & eggplant parmigiana; cheesecake & cannoli and a children’s menu. Don't have time to wait? Call ahead for takeout at (434) 525-9510 or online at Lil Cucci's Pizzeria.
We were even treated to a rendition of Happy Birthday, in Italian!

Debbie, I'm hungry for pizza now! Frank and I want to take a day trip to Poplar Forest next time we're in Virginia, so I'll have to remember this place. Is it close to Jefferson's home? Maybe you can join us!
Hi Lanre! My Brother, If you ever leave the city for a trip south, we'll be making a beeline to Lil' Cucci's, my treat! Thanks for your support my friend.
