I was so happy to find good Italian food in Sioux Falls and to have the availability of gluten free pasta and wraps. I had a delicious Nucci's Italian Wrap in a gluten free tortilla and tomato basil soup, which is available daily. It was a great lunch. The gelato was wonderful, too.

Mama Rita is the Best! She is the proprietor of the establishment, and is always around. She makes the gelato from scratch and does a great job on it. But don't overlook the food, as she has done a great job with a menu that is simple and delicious. Super fun, Super quaint. A must when in town.

After reviewing places from my weekly travels, decided to review a restaurant where I actually live. I can't attest to the authenticity of the food at Nucci's, just know that I really like it! You can tell that the ingredients are fresh, nothing frozen or precooked. Another reviewer mentioned lack of sauce, but I've found that the pasta I've ordered... More

If all you want is a scoop of gelato this is your place. Don't plan on eating here, though. The portions are small and the prices are high. You could easily have a nice meal at a full service restaurant for what you will spend on a meal here.

This is a nice little place if you want a sandwich for lunch. I tried their pasta once and was not impressed at all. Certainly not the best restaurant in Sioux Falls.

Mama Rita and Maria made me the best ever gelato birthday cake. My favorite cake is german chocolate and they managed to combine cake, gelato, and frosting into the most delicious german chocolate cake ever.

My only complaint is that they only have manicotti on Saturday nights. My sister got me hooked on the coppias when I was sick one time, now cant have enough. And the gelato is amazing but so hard to chose only one kind, as there is such a variety. MMMM goood

I love Nucci's Italian Bistro because of their QUALITY of food! I can taste no food preservatives, everything is 100% fresh and very tasty! I can finally enjoy going out without feeling guilty for A VERY FAIR PRICE. I can believe they can keep their prices so low, quality is always very expensive, not at Nucci's! Thank you Mama Rita!...
