We came as a large group and had an excellent time!
Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive!
We tried many dishes. I think the pesto pasta was the best dish we had. (Not pictured)
I had the short ribs pasta. It was very good! The meat was cooked very well.
We tried many appetizers and our favorite was the focaccia bread with the ricotta cheese and balsamic glaze.
The drinks were very good.
The atmosphere was great! Would definitely come back and recommend to others.

Our group was seated for more than 15 minutes before food was discussed, although wine was at length. Still a fun evening, amazing food (shared appetizers that I was able to get a fork in) … but it was quite challenging to get the servers attention after apps. The server didn’t ask if I wanted to order any food, but I was able to flag her late for a cocktail after everyone’s else’s food had arrived.

You can’t go wrong with this place!! The restaurant has a great vibe and a beautiful patio. There are also indoor sitting. The servers are all super nice. They have a nice selection of delicious authentic Italian food and appetizers and their portions are big. Highly recommend checking it out!

Really really enjoyed this place! One of the best Italian spots in OC. I loveeeed their rigatoni (al dente) and focaccia (so so delicious with the whipped ricotta, just melted in your mouth). Italian chopped salad family style was really fresh tasting for the entire table to share. We also got the fennel sausage pizza (very good & thin) and the giant meatball. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try to more things here!

I hadn’t been back to Cucina Enoteca since 2020, but we were heading to the Improv and didn’t want to eat their greasy bar food. So we popped into Cucina 15 minutes before happy hour ended and grabbed some delicious apps! Probably one of the best roasted cauliflowers I’ve ever had…
Cocktails were great!
But the cherry on top was our bartender Ashley. She was fantastic! Friendly, funny, personable and knowledgeable.
She made us a Sweater Weather which was lip smackingly good! Carmel Apple and bourbon… Hell yes!
We will be back…

Pretty standard Italian restaurant serving up delicious plates, flatbread and salads. Selections are a bit limited but the dishes are tasty. We ordered a shrimp pasta dish where the shrimp were undercooked and raw. The waiter promptly addressed this which we appreciated. Overall reasonably priced. Large selection of wines which you can purchase bottles to take home. For lunch, there didn’t seem to be a need for making a reservation.

I loved spending a relaxing Sunday evening here. The octopus appetizer was especially delicious — that’s actually why I came back! The other dishes were not too salty and tasted clean and well-balanced. Everything was just great!

I recently visited Cucina at Spectrum Irvine for a girls’ hangout, and it was a delightful experience!
The vibe is fantastic, and I’d rate the ambiance a solid 5/5. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming.
They quickly seated us, and our server was friendly, polite, and provided excellent explanations about the dishes, especially considering my garlic allergy. He ensured I was aware of which items contained garlic, which was very thoughtful.
We ordered a Margarita pizza, shrimp pasta, a berry dip, Brussels sprouts, and a sparkling rosé.
The food arrived promptly, and the service was impeccable.
Our server checked in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed and kept our water glasses full.
The restroom was spotless, which added to the positive experience.
⚠️One area for improvement would be offering a simplified menu for those with dietary restrictions like garlic or gluten allergies. Despite this, the overall experience was outstanding, and I’d highly recommend Cucina.
Don’t miss their beautiful wine rack,
I’ll share a photo! If you’re in Irvine or Orange County, definitely give Cucina a visit!

Went her with some friends with the birthday girl, good service with nice ambience and good food. We all had different food to share, it does get busy and we waited about 10-15 minutes to be seated, overall great experience pretty worth it for the wait. They have good selection for drinks/wine as well

Our group chose Cucina Enoteca for our dinner get together. The restaurant is located at Irvine Spectrum right next to Tender Greens. It gets super busy on weekends but, we didn’t have any issues with the parking. Upon arriving, the friendly hostess informed us that our table would be ready shortly.
We waited for about 15 minutes before being seated. Our server was attentive and pleasant. The food exceeded our expectations. We ordered some pasta and pizza dishes. For starters, we had the chopped salad (family style) and the parmesan truffle fries. We enjoyed both the appetizers. For entrees, we tried the pepperoni pizza and rigatoni amatriciana. Both entrees were flavorful. The pasta dish was our fave. The rigatoni was al dente and sauce was delicious.
The service and food were excellent. We would dine here again!
