If you can’t make it to or into the Pasta Bar just hop across the street to Cucina Italiana. This deli provides you with all the materials to make fresh Italian at home. There is also a small amount of seating if you care to eat in instead.

The inside is very quaint. Having been to Italy myself I will say it is also pretty authentic looking. I won’t get hung up on the looks here because the food is much more important. Fresh pasta, fresh salads, fresh breads, fresh sauces, fresh meats and some desserts to boot. Not much can compare to Broders’ Pasta Bar, but a close second is their Cucina Italiana. I love the focaccia bread and red pepper mascarpone spread and their fresh pasta plus some pesto sauce make a perfect meal. Personally I’m not a huge fan of their pizza, that’s just me, but their pasta is perfect!

Next time you need a quick take home dinner stop by Cucina Italiana!
