WELCOME TO A MODERN TWIST ON CLASSIC ITALIAN. Not your ordinary Los Angeles Italian restaurant. Grab a seat in the bar, invite a friend, have dinner for eight, then wind up fireside — admiring the succulent wall with a carafe of your new favorite wine. A casual, flexible, affordable neighborhood LA restaurant — this is your Culina.

Culina, Modern Italian has been recognized as one of the “Best New Restaurants” by Esquire magazine,  one of the “100 Best Wine Restaurants” of 2011 by Wine Enthusiast magazine, one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles by Zagat, and one of the “Best Power Lunch Restaurants” by Worth magazine.
