City officials, including Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyers, attended the ceremony and got a taste of Cucina’s menu. The event was open to the public as well.
The restaurant posted Instagram videos and pictures of the grand opening, showing the owners with Mayor Dyer cutting the ribbon and later giving a sneak peek of the menu. There were samples of bruschetta, pasta, and pizza, of course.
