" My friends and I decided to check out CUCINA enoteca after hearing great reviews, and we were not let down! The ambiance was chic and trendy, perfect for young professionals looking to unwind. We shared several appetizers and each one was a delight. The highlight was the stuffed squash blossoms. Though the drink menu was also impressive, we did find the prices a bit steep for cocktails. Nonetheless, the experience was fantastic and we left satisfied. Would recommend this spot for an enjoyable night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dining experience here! The pasta was freshly made and the flavors were balanced beautifully. I had the bucatini with a fried egg — it was rich and satisfying! The ambiance was a nice mix of casual yet upscale, perfect for a date night. Service was friendly, though a little slow at times. I could definitely see this becoming one of my regular spots in Del Mar. Just remember to make a reservation on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about this restaurant, so I decided to check it out for lunch. While the food was nice, the service left much to be desired. The servers were friendly but seemed overwhelmed; it took a while to get my order and the check afterward. The primavera pasta was good but a little bland for my taste. I appreciate good Italian food, but next time, I might look for a less busy time to visit for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a feast I had at CUCINA enoteca!! This is an Italian restaurant that could easily compete with some of the best in Italy. Each bite of our meals had bursts of authentic flavors that transported me right back to the Italian countryside. The ingredients tasted fresh and prepared with love. The standout dish was the giant meatball — I can't recommend it highly enough! The only downside was that it quickly got busy, and our server got a little flustered, but that didn’t overshadow the experience. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the quality of food at CUCINA enoteca is commendable, I found the pricing to be on the high side. I visited with my husband and ordered a couple of pasta dishes and a pizza. They were tasty but not necessarily worth the price point, especially for the portion sizes. The ambiance was lovely, and service was friendly, but I feel like there are other places in the area that provide a better value overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" CUCINA enoteca is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey to Italy! As a food enthusiast, I have savored Italian fare everywhere, and this place ranks among the top. The roasted eggplant appetizer was incredibly flavorful, setting a high standard for the Italian food to come. The pizzas we ordered were also delicious with a nice thin crust. I did find the wait staff slightly overwhelmed during peak hours, which led to slow service. However, it did not take away from the overall experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest visit to CUCINA enoteca, I was impressed by the innovative menu and the emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. I ordered the corn agnolotti, which was a delight! The combination of flavors was a new experience for me. My dinner partner enjoyed the ricotta gnocchi, which he claimed was the best he's ever had. The ambience was stylish and inviting, perfect for a weekend dinner date. Just a little on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality. " (*Curated Review*)
