Cucina Del Mar: A Culinary Journey through Italian Seafood and Wine

Staff were very helpful at this romantic yet family friendly restaurant. Prices and portions are fair. Food is yummy. Great place for groups. Parking is provided.

Great food with many vegetarian options. Ambiance is one of a kind, combined with impeccable service and exquisite selection of drinks; this is our new favorite for a date night.

The food and service were terrific. Loved the cauliflower appetizer. Thought I'd enjoy the squash blossoms app more than I did, but not bad. The chopped salad and pasta bolognese were both terrific. I think our waiter encouraged us to order one dish too many, and I was a little peeved that the default tip calculations start at 20% and go up to 24% (wow, that's presumptuous). But service was excellent - our waiter noted that we just wanted to chit chat and didn't disturb. You've got to love the convenient flower hill parking lot, too, right off the freeway.

Went there to celebrate Mother's Day. It was really good experience. Food quality and quantity was perfect and service was really fast and host gave us enough time to explain about the food in detail. Pasta is must try and pizza is the best I have ever had, thin crust with full of flavors. I would recommend this place and would definitely revisit whenever I get chance.

I visited this place with my girlfriends and our respective kiddos for a pre-Mothers Day celebration and was absolutely blown away by the experience. Our server, Anais was simply amazing - providing great recommendations when it came to drinks, very patient with all the kiddos taking their time to order and checking in on us every now and then to ensure we were never without food or drink. We tried a variety of appetizers - the roasted tomato focaccia, the burrata w/tomatoes and olives, fried squash blossom, cucina meatballs and truffle herb parmesan fries. For our entrees we had a few orders each of the artichoke and spinach ravioli, bucatini amatriciana, short rib mafaldine, chicken milanese and fennel sausage pizza. And to wrap up- we tried the chocolate budino (my fav) , the basque style cheesecake, the tiramisu and gelato.

I came here for a catered group outing. We took pasta making classes, cocktail making classes, and charcuterie board making classes. Afterwards, we were treated to an assortment of salads, pizza, and pasta. The food, especially the pasta, was some of the best that I've had in a very long time.

The menu is always changing, but good haul from this takeout! I got the mushroom pizza, which is very delicious and good for two meals... And their new smoked salmon dip! Big pieces of fresh smoked salmon, a salmon purée, and a bunch of flatbread crackers to eat it with very delicious meal! I wish more restaurants would do taramasalata style appetizers. Pacific social had a delicious one on briefly and then removed it. I hope Urban Kitchen keeps this one here, presumably borrowed from the Gold Finch menu since it's more a Jewish than an Italian dish. The only thing I would change is a little more dill and a little more seasoning. But it was a great value and I'm dividing it over three meals!

Inside an upscale shopping plaza with a Whole Foods and boutique style stores, this small restaurant chain mixes a funky design aesthetic with a fun, lively atmosphere as well as a wine shop where you can find interesting wines of the world. Bonus on buying retail and drinking on premise. Very friendly staff - many came to say hello. We visited during happy hour which offers some discounts on wines, drinks and a few menu items. Meatballs - nice. Served over polenta with marscapone which was rich and creamy Chopped salad - under seasoned, could have used a bit more ooomph. Mussels - nice broth, well grilled bread to accompany. We enjoyed the people watching and the hospitality. Will be back to try wines and some of the entree items!

Went to this place for valentines and had a nice dining experience! Focaccia was the star of the night, my friend and i love bread so we rate it a 9/10 My friend rated their pasta a 7.5/10 (a short rib pasta) I got an eggplant based pasta i will also rate it a 7.5/10 Our wines were different but mine was so yummy and worth the price, my friend didn't enjoy theirs as much but the wine selection was very nice to see! Overall the experience was good, the ambiance was also nicely lit and service was great and detailed. I would say it's keeping itself from a 5 because it just didn't feel comfortable? Maybe it was a mix of the seating and the atmosphere? But definitely a good place for a date night !
