Following the success of Cucina Enoteca at the Irvine Spectrum, Tracy Borkum's San Diego-based Urban Restaurant Group has announced that it will open another Enoteca at Fashion Island.
The restaurant is going to claim a 8,300 square foot location across from Nordstrom. The anticipated opening date is May of next year.

By then, Fashion Island's roster of restaurants will have seen a lot of newcomers already settled in, including Red O, the soon-to-be-open Lemonade, and the just-opened Lark Creek.
This Cucina Enoteca, like all the restaurants in Borkum's empire, will feature an eclectic array of interior design elements which will be for sale should you like the chair your sitting in, or the painting on the wall.
