    The barramundi served as a whole fish was stuffed in such a way that made it impossible to remove the spine with all the bones. As a result, every bite had bones making it difficult to eat. The Cucina restaurants were previously my favorite chain for many years. I was disappointed.

    We always love Cucina Enoteca. The food is delicious and the mood is fun. The only negative thing I have to say about our latest visit is that the table staff were a little overzealous in clearing plates as we finished (or approached finishing) each of our courses, which made us feel rushed.

    Whipped ricotta was not our fave, slightly bland. Brussel sprouts were very good, liked spicy sauce. Bucatini Amatriacini was not very good, have had so much better, a bit flavorless and oily. Soppresta and sausage pizza was very good. We were mixed on Tiramisu but I loved it.

    Love the Cucina Urbana location…this one is different…quality of food is far less than their Bankers Hill restaurant…next time it will be worth the drive.
