CUCINA MODERNA – Italian
This is where the group started: a Woods Walk Plaza storefront on Lake Worth Road, on the Wellington side, still trading as the neighbourhood Italian its regulars treat as an extension of the kitchen table. Rotating daily specials are the draw, arriving with salad and gelato alongside the standing card of chicken parmigiana, lasagna, fettuccine bolognese, baked rigatoni, meatballs in Sunday gravy and linguine with white clams. Pizzas are built to order in twelve or sixteen inches. Unlike its newer siblings this room pours beer and wine only, which suits the unhurried, family-first mood. Warm service, generous plates, no rush.
