cucina SORELLA

A pasta-forward approach to CUCINA's wildly popular California-inspired Italian cuisine, serving handmade pasta specialties and seasonal dishes.

cucina SORELLA will offer a new spin on the signature CUCINA concept, aiming to become a delicious gathering place for the Kensington community and San Diego diners as a whole. The menu places a heavy emphasis on hand-crafted pastas, antipasti, polenta boards and plates both small and large.

Our Story

We are a wine shop inside of a restaurant | CUCINA sorella is the โ€˜little sisterโ€™ to the wildly popular CUCINA urbana and CUCINA enoteca restaurants. Tucked away in the charming Kensington neighborhood of San Diego, CUCINA sorella is a casual eatery that features deep dish pizza + homemade pasta your way showcasing CUCINAโ€™s signature emphasis on California-inspired Italian cuisine.

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.
