What happened after Food Paradise?

Cucina Enoteca appeared in the 'Farm to Feast' episode (S13E11), which featured the Del Mar, California restaurant's Italian wine-bar and enoteca-style menu inside an Urban Kitchen Group coastal shopping-center location. Cucina Enoteca opened in late 2013, according to the restaurant's own website. That website (checked 2026-09-09, 2026 copyright notice) now displays a closure banner reading 'CUCINA enoteca Del Mar is now permanently closed,' directing guests to the company's sister locations and thanking the Del Mar community. Google's listing for this address also marks it permanently closed.

The Del Mar location was one of several restaurants operated by Urban Kitchen Group across Southern California, according to the company's website. Both the operator's own announcement and Google's listing agree the restaurant has ceased operating; no fresher source was found showing the location open.
