If you're looking to dine at a vintage-esque, fancy restaurant with delish food, go to Cucina Enoteca in Irvine. I promise it won't disappoint! Cucina Enoteca is my favorite Italian restaurant in Irvine. ^^ I love the decor, especially the dangly chandelier lights and wooden shoe molds.
You should try the stuffed fried squash blossoms, pear + gorgonzola pizza, frutti di mare + squid ink linguine, truffle mushroom mac & cheese, burrata + prosciutto ‘caprese’ salad.
Here are some pictures of the decor + some photos of the food:
