    Cucina Enoteca never disappoints. We shared the Italian chopped salad, meat balls, a pizza and the half chicken. Everything was wonderful. The lavender lemonade is the perfect non-alcoholic drink.

    Forgot one of our entrees, then when it arrived after everyone finished their entree, the pasta was undercooked, not al dente undercooked.

    Wonderful restaurant, delicious food and our waiter Rudy was fantastic! The family style chopped salad and mushroom goat cheese pizza was delicious! And a yummy birthday dessert on the house. A lovely lunch and afternoon with friends.

    We had a wonderful meal with interesting preparation, generous portion sizes, and excellent flavor. We chose to sit outside, and it was a lovely breakfast experience.
