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.More
