2051 Cucina Italiana

Very large spacious ambiance for a great Italian restaurant. One true outstanding food feature is the soft pasta and gnocchi: one can easily tell that they are not packaged and boiled. I like the grocery store pasta, but the “home made” is a not-often-done experience to treasure. My friend and I (both with Italian heritage) enjoyed reading the Italian menu items. The weather was perfect Southern California Coast Evening for our dinner. Our “cameriere” had a lot of Italian style fun with us! Absolutely… the food was delicious!

Came for lunch and was not disappointed. Clean and open atmosphere with exceptional service. The food was authentic and delicious. I had the italiana salad and their scratch-made lasagna. Portions were filling. You can tell a lot about the quality of an Italian restaurant by the lasagna. I will be back.

Well hidden restaurant but so worth finding! The walk-in wait was not too bad but I do suggest making a reservation ahead of time. The pizza is great but the pasta is where its at. Perfectly al dente and the cream sauce was made to perfection. Not too creamy and not watery, just right. They ran out of panna cotta by dessert time so we opted for the coconut mango cake. Very light and airy. The flavors were not too sweet which was perfect for the savory dishes. Perfect way to end the night. 10/10 recommend!! Coming back to bring the family ❤️

Love the outside atmosphere here! The service is the absolute best and so is the food. The location is a bit interesting but they have done so much with the space, both indoor and outside. Go support this local, authentic Italian small business it will not disappoint. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of our entrees (got too excited and started eating, ha)!

I ordered the Mele salad which was pretty delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. The environment was perfect for a work meeting, large open floor plan and the tables aren’t too close together. The restaurant was a bit out of the way so I don’t know if I would go back specifically for this salad but if you’re in the area it’s worth a try

I do recommend this place 100% Everytime here is a delicious experience 🙂 This place took me back to the best memories in Italy. Their food is so fresh and tasty. The pasta was fresh and al dente. And coffee omg the best morning cappuccino I'm town and for a great price. Forget about Starbucks and who knows what, this is the place for a great cappuccino. Pastries... Well this place has it !!! The cream pat was not overly sweet or fridge taste at all. It was the perfect insert for a puff pastry. Gnocchi was fresh and did not tasted like a ball of flour .. i could actually taste the potatoes flavor on it. We are looking forward to go back again really soon!! 4 capuchinos 2 main entrance 1 caprese salad 1 puff pastry Total $60 .. Price 5/5 Service 5/5 Place 5/5 Food 5/5
