About
At Cucina, you can see the tastes, hear the smells, and touch freshness. Feel the kitchen's heart beat - because here it is alive. Menu changes with seasons of the year. The desire to provide our guests with unforgettable, multisensory sensations is directing our chef's thinking about food; for him, cooking is a combination of philosophy, psychology and fun. Cucina is not only a restaurant but also a genuine pizza from the oven. The oven - a genuine one, wood-fired, giving heat and spreading a lovely aroma of burned wood - is the heart of every Italian restaurant. Cucina also has such a heart, and owing to this we can offer our Guests a traditional Italian pizza from an oakwood-fired oven. Many our guests have already got delighted with the thin dough baked with passion, aromatic olives, and selection of ingredients, that is with our unique pizza. Our cooks strive at composing lovely dishes using only the best possible ingredients.
MICHELIN Guide: Good cooking
Housed inside a historic building that was once a military barracks, the ever-developing Cucina now forms part of the City Park Hotel. The Mediterranean-influenced menu caters to a range of tastes, from pizzas and pastas to beef tartare and fine roast duck. A large, on-view wine wall is an indicator of the serious list, which features some excellent vintages and is enhanced by charming, knowledgeable service. A covered terrace comes into its own in the summer.

Excellent meal choice but avoid the lobster which is expensive. Had onion soup which was generous, a pumpkin steak which was sublime and topped it off with a baked Alaska. What more do you want after a day’s driving? They run an open kitchen so you can see everything being prepared if you want.

A very nice business dinner with 4 people was created bij the atmosphere, chef and especially by the very polite and professional waitress Daria. From entering Cucina to leaving there was a very professional attitude with room for social talks. One of our guests has an allergy and the kitchen did a great job to also let him feel special. Definitely will come here again.

Great snails (different than usual because in soy sauce with oyster mushrooms), champagne and wine. The oysters are not acidic enough for me - I would add a bit of lemon and pepper, the octopus with chorizo is good, but it's a pity that the capers are also fried - quite fatty. But it's a matter of taste. Very nice service. Very good rating - we recommend it.

Maybe it was just not my taste, but nobody at my table was satisfied with what they ordered. The interpretation of the dishes is very confusing and badly managed, they choice of ingredients and flavors is poorly balanced and underwhelming. The atmosphere is cozy and the waiters are polite but the kitchen was sometimes quite slow in delivering the orders. The dessert was the biggest disappointment, don’t order the tiramisu. The food they serve in general is an offense to European cuisine, if the creator of the menu isn’t skilled enough to interpret those “European” dishes, him/she should stick to traditional recipes.

Cucina 88 was few years ago a fine address in Poznan. Today we visited the restaurant again after many years. It was terrible. We have eaten 2 starters goat cheese on top of pastry dough and arancini. It was a real disaster. We were not expecting miracles but only freshness is a minimum for us. Sorry for this comment.

Dear Guests, Greetings from Cucina Restaurant! During your stay with us both starters: goat cheese and arancini we served at the same moment for other guests and they have a completely different opinion. Seeing that you didn't like the appetizers, we suggested other ones, unfortunately you refused, making it impossible for us to fix the situation regarding the taste of the dishes that didn't suit only you. We apologize for this inconvenience, With best regards, Cucina Team

Having tasted the pasta dish my wife ordered we instantly knew this dish was not cooked by a professional chef. No discernable taste of the visible and listed ingredients and very salty to complete the experience. The only thing that came to mind was unfortunately whiskas, metaphorically speaking...

Popped in for quick meal whilst charging my Tesla (Superchargers are few & far between in this region). The golonka was good without the bone. The desert was frankly poor & the coffee was a Nespresso. Best to stick to the non sweets. Nice atmosphere, service was good, and the kitchen is an open one if you prefer to see your food being prepared. Would I go again? For the golonka, yes but for the “puddings” there are a few alternatives literally next door in this complex.

One of the best restaurants in Poznan. The internal design is modern and clean. The service is very nice. We had delicious dinner. The food was presented beautifully. Selection of wine is excellent, and we were spoiled with some great desserts. I rate it 10/10.

Cucina88 is one of about a dozen restaurants in „City Park“ (Poznań), a former military complex that several years ago was converted into a modern center with exclusive hotels, restaurants and shops. Cucina88 is a well-known name in Polish gastronomy. So it was high on the list of restaurants I would like to visit. I only rate a restaurant five stars if I fall in love with it. Cucina88 is a great restaurant but I didn't fall in love. The ambiance is pleasant. The food was very tasty. I chose the beef tartare (tatar wolowy) as a starter and the beef steak (stek wolowy) as a main course. Both was a very good choice. I was disappointed with the wine. The restaurant is said to have a sommelier (according to the website). However, he was not to be seen that evening. In the Muga restaurant (also in Poznań), the sommelier shows his presence. He goes from table to table and gives the guests excellent recommendations. None of that at the Cucina88. The wine list itself is not nearly as impressive as in "Muga" or in "Karkut" in Szczecin. The bill was 525 zlotys. After I complained, it was reduced to 355 zlotys. They accidentally charged a bottle instead of a glass of wine. Something like that can happen. I don't think the error was intentional. But as a restaurant guest you should always be attentive. To sum up: Cucina88 is a great restaurant. I give the restaurant my full respect and appreciation. However, there will be no love affair between us. You should definitely have visited Cucina88 once in your life.

All the more thank you for your time and writing your opinion about our restaurant. Your opinion invites us to work even harder on the detail to deserve the love of you and our other Guests.

Visited for dinner. Service was OK but we thought the atmosphere was lacking. I had ROASTED BEETROOT AND CELERY STEAK which was OK, sweet corn was undercooked, I followed this with a PLUM TART which was OK.
