Cucina Alessa – Huntington Beach, CA – Great Pasta in Orange County. Cucina Alesso has 3 locations in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach (this family must like the beach life). They are each family owned by different family members. Cucina Alessa has a wide variety of Italian dishes but they really shine at their homemade pasta dishes. Their Tortellini Di Carne is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. It has giant stuffed Tortellini with Braised Short Ribs and a Walnut Porcini Cream Sauce. The homemade Tortellini was very flavorful and texture was perfect, the creamy Walnut Porcini sauce went very well, plus who doesn’t love Braised Short Ribs. The service at the Huntington Beach location was very good, our energetic and comedic waiter made our experience very enjoyable. Try this place out for some great pasta. Love, peace and Braised Short Rib Tortellini grease.
