Cucina Urbana

Cucina Urbana is a bistro in Banker's Hill district in San Diego.  we went for dinner there last night.  passed by a french restaurant that was quite crowded and happening (as it was Bastille Day).

They have a wine market, so you can buy any wine from there, either to go or to have with your meal, only $7 corkage.  We got a young italian for only $19, plus the corkage.  For appetizer, I ordered the fritto misto, which came with soft shelled crab, calamari, jumbo shrimp, and lots of vegetables.  definitely worth it.  for main course, i ordered the pork.  not as good as the one that Literati2 used to serve (mainly because I asked for rare, and got medium-well), but I think the kitchen was just overwhelmed, as it was packed (at 10pm!), since even the waiter suggested that I order it medium rare.

Again, sadly, no pictures, but here's a link to their website
