The food wasn’t bad. But when it gets busy on Sundays, it seems like there’s a few servers and they’re either learning or can’t handle the number of tables assigned to them. I enjoyed it the first time I came out a couple years ago but some dishes came out just okay. The marg was delicious and I recommend the pizzas but some of the pastas aren’t great. You really have to love short ribs…or if you do, order something else.

If you haven't been here you're truly missing something special, the food is amazing the desserts were great and our service was exemplary, I usually go to the one in Irvine Spectrum but I went to the one in Fashion Island and it was just as amazing

That's my first time to have dinner at Cucina. Our waiter was super nice. Menu shows many Italian. So he helped us figure out the ideal food. It turns out that he made perfect suggestions. My son finish the whole plate pasta. That's the first time that he finishes his meal in restaurant. Wagyu steak is also good, tender and juice. We really enjoyed this place. One thing is not very convenient though, the menu is hard to read at night.
