Cucina (coo-chee-na)<\/strong> is Italian for 'kitchen'<\/strong> and it also refers to a manner or style of cooking.<\/pre>\n
The design of the interiors is minimalist and comfortable. The key elements injected by national Filipino artist, Jinggoy Buensuceso<\/strong>, are wood, glass and earth tones.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Swiss-themed buffet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Cucina features several live action stations<\/strong> with open kitchens that feature worldly cuisines. While most buffet restaurants are big on the quantity, Cucina focuses on quality. The chefs are very hands-on and keen on always bringing out something new and unique to the table.<\/p>\n
