CUCINA enoteca Del Mar

CUCINA enoteca: Italian Restaurant at Flower Hill Promenade, Del Mar CA

CUCINA enoteca is a two-story, 8,500 square-foot Italian restaurant and wine shop located in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade. Playful vintage finds such as antique housewares and colorful world globes are complemented by touches of lush greenery and bold lighting. As a nod to the location’s proximity to the polo fields and the nearby thoroughbred club, an “ode to the equestrian” is presented with over 400 toy horses strung in a unique staircase installation. Other highlights of the restaurant include a second story open-air deck, open kitchen, bustling communal bar area and intimate glass dining room.

Executive Chef Joe Magnanelli leads the kitchen with Chef Daniel Wolinsky bringing creative takes on Italian classics to North County San Diego, all while showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms.

CUCINA’s wine list is comprised of over 250 familiar names and rare, small-batch gems from the Americas and Europe, with an emphasis on Italian varietals. Our dedicated wine shop allows guests to hand select wines at a retail price, either to enjoy with their meal for a minimal corkage fee or to purchase to go.
