5 GIANT STARS!! This place is a gem! The food was so fresh and flavorful. Unique choices and a good variety. I went for happy hour at the bar and got the giant meatball, a side of focaccia and whipped ricotta with oil, and a lavender lemonade. Each item was so delicious! I can’t wait to go back… and I have told everyone I know to go here.
The great service, friendly staff, and cute ambiance were also very appreciated and enhanced the positive experience. There is outdoor patio seating and a cute gift shop at the front desk. 10/10

Good food paired with pathetic service. First thought was it will be a good Italian food but the server’s attitude and attentiveness was below par. Trying to be cool with no knowledge and awareness of the customer needs.

We started with the Margarita Pizza as an appetizer — fresh, hot, and perfectly balanced with a nice char on the crust. The Focaccia Bread with ricotta and 15-year aged balsamic followed and was probably one of the highlights of the night: fluffy bread, creamy ricotta, and the sweet depth of that balsamic.

For entrées, my wife had the Rigatoni with a soft egg mixed into the sauce (our waitress recommended it, and I’m glad she did — it was rich, creamy, and delicious). The Shrimp Linguine was another hit, with great flavor and tender pasta, though I do wish the shrimp tails were removed to make it easier to eat. I went with the Cheeseburger, which was huge, juicy, and full of flavor. It was messy, but in the best way, and the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly.

The atmosphere is fun and lively, the staff was attentive, and the food overall was excellent. A little on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality and presentation. Definitely recommend, and I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.

Came here for a late lunch. Happy hour starts at 3. The fried stuffed squash blossoms are a must try. Parking is available in the structure near nordstroms. This place provides a meal that is worthy of higher prices.

Great restaurant to stop by during the holidays for a dinner – especially because of the seasonal drinks. Comfortable seating and homey atmosphere. Learned about their wine offerings, will have to come back to try more of that!

Cucina enoreca is an Italian restaurant at the Fashion Island, very good interior design and atmosphere.

While the food was just fine, we ordered family style chopped salad (really BIG, min for 4 adults), giant meatball (also really big) salmon, and shrimp spaghetti, all good, particularly the salmon, the sauce was really good, meat was tender.

I came here with my family and had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the server was attentive and fun, the ambiance was beautiful, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The squash blossoms were SO good! We enjoyed the date pizza and drinks too. I’ll definitely return!

Pleasant atmosphere and great service — but the food fell short. The short rib pasta was the standout, with tender meat and decent flavor, though the pasta itself was just okay. The burger was simple and forgettable, despite a quality patty. The Margherita pizza lacked punch — not bad, just uninspired. My family enjoyed their meals more than I did, so maybe it just wasn’t a match for my palate. Overall, a solid experience for the vibe and service, but the food didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Really good friendly service. Tried an orange wheat beer on tap which was delicious. Ordered the bacon pizza which was pretty good. The crust was amazing!
