Cucina Urbana SD

A modern Italian influenced kitchen with a fantastic energy and vibe, Cucina Urbana has transformed what used to the old Laurel place.

With a multi modular interior, you can dine in the open seated area, take a chair on communal tables, park yourself at the hotel inspired bar, cozy on up to the fire from the pizza oven bar station, nestle into a glass alcove looking onto the street or have a family style 16 person table in the wine vault dining area! The selection of spaces in this open configured environment is fantastic.

The food is just as appealing and flavorful. Start off with one of the appetizer jars.. Hummous, smoked trout, or the olives (which have now been removed :(




Smoked trout pate style with fresh baguette bread or multigrain toast..

The burrata with garlic and olive oil, fabulous... Even if your date doesn't tell you so!


Pomegranate martini's with blood oranges and citrus cucumber cocktails are a refreshing way to put the day behind!






The mediterranean mussels with olives an pickled red peppers were phenomenal.. Whole dish baked with juicy garlic infused white wine... Delicious:


The goat and beet salad with yellow and red beets was also fantastic:


The jodori chicken: roasted tender chicken served with white asparagus, potatoes and a poached egg!


Great food, lots of energy and ambience that is more needed in the area!
