Cucina Urbana, located in Banker's Hill San Diego, has 400% captured my foodie heart. Sadly, I didn't always have this opinion. I dined at Cucina Urbana a few years ago and had a really blah experience; not bad by any means but definitely not memorable. Thanks to my friends, colleagues and Urbanist, I gave Cucina Urbana another try and I'm so glad I did! The interior is beautifully decorated very Anthropologie-esque and I very much appreciated the details [chalkboard art, eclectic lighting fixtures, etc]. Essentially, I'd like whoever decorated this restaurant to decorate my future home.
Squash blossoms filled with ricotta cheese and topped with aioli and pesto.

Meatball pizza sans meatballs for my vegetarian amigas
LASAGNA TO DIE FOR WITH GARLIC BREAD. This was for sure the winning dish.
pork + veal + marinara + bésciamella + gooey cheese...ohhh yahhh.
Chalkboard art
Impressive wine selection
The service was great, the food was fantastic and the ambiance couldn't have been better. I absolutely can't wait to go back!
Stay tuned for more foodie finds around town because this weekend, I'll be investigating some brand new restaurants! [the fact that my pants are getting harder and harder to button is perhaps a sign I should sample the salads}.
{HAPPY FRIDAY! Here's to a feastly weekend.}
