The Cucina is on the same street as the Trattoria, more east. It has a valet parking lot. The food is the same, but the atmosphere is different and it depends on what you like as to which place is better. The Cucina has an atmosphere that is better for groups to talk, it's more intimate and less bustling and somewhat less crowded. There is more indoor seating here, but there is still an outdoor patio. The outdoor patio tends to be warmer, also, since it has walls surrounding it and it's a little farther from the beach. And it still has the great garlic rolls! :)
