NYACK'S OLDEST FAMILY RUN RESTAURANT
OUR HISTORY
In the Fall of 1974, Nyack residents Cecelia and Vincent Cuccia opened a little family restaurant where they could share their love of good, homemade food with their beloved community. It became a family affair as soon as their doors opened with their children, parents and siblings all rolling up their sleeves to help make Strawberry Place a success.
Their children, Jody, Renee and Vinnie, as well as their grandchildren would all eventually grow up working in the restaurant after school, on weekends and during the summer. As time went by, Vinnie, who was five years old when the doors first opened, found himself at the helm of the restaurant holding tight to the ideals (and recipes!) that were put in place when his parents' dream became a reality over forty years ago. Strawberry Place continues to be a landmark in Nyack but the fabulous food as well as the socially conscious people who work there, are what makes it a true treasure in our little village. |
