To our cherished guests: This is an exceptionally difficult time for our community, our industry, and our CUCINA family. In keeping with directives of County and State mandates, it is with deep sadness we have temporarily closed our restaurants in San Diego and Orange County.

We will consider to go services for guests in the coming weeks, but at this time our main concern is the health and well-being of our team members. We will be directing our efforts to providing meals for them and their immediate families for as long as we possibly can.

Please help by supporting us – stock up on gift cards for future dining. And please do the same for our fellow local restaurants. We are all in this together!

We are immensely grateful for your support and patronage over the past 25+ years, and we remain positive that the world is on hold for a short, necessary period of time after which we will gather again for brighter days, dine together and wine will be flowing!

Wishing you and your family good health.

Tracy + Team CUCINA

Our Story

We are a wine shop inside of a restaurant | Irvine’s CUCINA enoteca is the second addition to Urban Kitchen Group. The modern Italian kitchen-meets-charming bohemian eatery is one of Orange County’s only retail wine shop and restaurant-in-one concepts. The restaurant includes a 6,700-square-foot dining room and two oversized patios totaling 2,700 square feet for outdoor dining, a retail wine shop, bar, community seating and unmatched design and ambiance. CUCINA enoteca is situated on the northwest side of the Irvine Spectrum Center, just across from the Edwards Irvine Spectrum 21.

CUCINA’s contemporary Italian cuisine is prepared with a focus on California seasonality and the bounty of local farms. Combined flavors of Italy with the organic freshness of Southern California is emblematic of CUCINA’s from-scratch menus. Standouts include shareable portions of house made pastas, innovative pizzas, cleverly crafted seafood and meat preparations, an elevated selection of antipasti, dolci, and signature cheese and salumi program.

CUCINA’s fresh-forward approach also lends to its extensive beverage program. Seasonal cocktail menus are crafted with an approach that is fresh, precise, balanced and direct, combining simple flavors with sophisticated technique. Many of CUCINA’s cocktails are infused or garnished with fruits and herbs from their own gardens.

The CUCINA retail wine program allows guests to hand select wines at a retail price, either to enjoy with their meal for a minimal corkage fee or for purchase to-go. The wine list is comprised of many familiar labels as well as rare and small-batch gems, with an emphasis on Italian varietals.
