Cucina Urbana

On Saturday, we went on a double date with Mirm and Martin.  The destination...one of my favorite San Diego restaurants, Cucina Urbana.  

Great company, delicious food, awesome service and an amazing atmosphere...what more could you ask for!

Here is the meal breakdown:

Antipasti

yellowtail crudo | foraged mushroom+ mizuna + mint + marsala vanilla reduction

ricotta gnudi | sage brown butter+ parmigiano + amaretti
DARN, I didn't take a gnudi picture :). This was definitely a table favorite.

Insalate

burrata + prosciutto ‘caprese’ | tomato + rocket + basil + nicoise olive + saba

Entrees...

braised black cod | pistachio caper crust + smashed potato +

 peperonata + limoncello butter

whole roasted brook trout | lemon and herb bread crumb+

farro + roast tomato vinaigrette + watercress

short rib pappardelle - the meat was so tender and the pasta was perfect!

pesto’ ravioli | roasted garlic and ricotta stuffing
+ basil puree + pine nut + parmesan butter

For dessert...chocolate budino & zucchini bread pudding. Both were yummy, but the next time I go, I'm definitely ordering that sinful chocolate dessert again.

If you ever plan to go to Cucina Urbana, you must make reservations...the place is always packed!

Thank you Martin and Mirm for hanging out with us and thank you Kamala and Jonah for playing with Noah!
