Welcome to the world of i. Cugini, where our roomy, open-air environment washes away the cares of the day. The distant crashing of waves and the warm, rustic ambiance will have you relaxed before you even see the menu!

And what a menu - i. Cugini is known for serving the finest Italian seafood cuisine in Southern California. Every day brings a host of new seafood specialties - because just like on the Italian coast - the daily menu is not determined until the catch of the day is brought to the kitchen.

Almost half of our restaurant consists of a space designed to resemble a seaside patio like one might find on the Amalfi coast of Italy. The interior features vaulted ceilings, parquet wood floors, terrazzo marble countertops and a huge mural depicting an old trattoria in Italy from the 1920's. Columns are used instead of walls to separate the different rooms: a bar area, center dining room and back dining room. The focal point of the center dining room is a central fish boning station. Also worth noting is a gorgeous bar that showcases our extensive wine and grappa selection.
