About Vino E Cucina

Vino E Cucina offers an enjoyable dining experience with a focus on good service and wine pairings. The owner's expertise in wine and monthly specialty pairings make it a popular spot. The menu includes dishes like Cantadina with Italian sausage and Tortellini Boscaiola, with some dishes standing out more than others. The seafood pasta, scoglio, with linguine, mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and scallops in a lightly spicy tomato sauce, is flavorful and satisfying. The burrata e prosciutto is a wonderful starter, with creamy mozzarella, fresh arugula, and Parma prosciutto. The tiramisu is good, though it could be better with a stronger espresso or more rum. Some dishes, like the bolognese, may be underwhelming, as the tomato beef ragout lacked depth, but the staff is attentive and willing to make things right. The restaurant offers a great selection of bread, freshly baked and sometimes crumbly, which adds to the homey, cozy vibe. It gives a small-town atmosphere, like many places in Italy, and is located near the LBX. The nearby bar offers many bottles of wine to choose from. Customers often enjoy dishes like linguine and clams or takeout favorites such as lasagna and chicken with mushroom, which travel well and are tasty. Overall, Vino E Cucina is a good choice for a memorable meal, especially for those who enjoy seafood and Italian classics in a warm, neighborhood setting.
