Paola's Cucina

Paola's Cucina serves old-school Italian classics in Wayne, PA, built around brick oven pizza, baked pastas and homemade chicken and eggplant entrees. Popular dishes include baked ziti, meat lasagna, penne alla vodka, stromboli and the Nonna, a thin square pie with fresh mozzarella.

A short menu of salads, fried sides and cheese steaks sits alongside the pizzas and pastas. Catering orders go through email with a name and phone number, and the restaurant hosts private events. Pasta can be made with gluten-free penne for an extra charge. Monday is the day off, and weekends run later.
