Cena Modern Italian - Delray Beach

From the service to the food, ambiance, and parking, Cena truly excels! We ordered the seafood risotto and chicken parmesan, and both dishes were exceptional. My date had the risotto and described it as divine, claiming there’s nothing like it anywhere in Delray. He cleaned his plate, which is unusual for him! I opted for the chicken parmesan with pasta tossed in butter and garlic. Wow! The chicken was tender, and the coating was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, just the right amount of garlic. I found myself eating more than usual and relished every bite! The parking situation was fantastic, with a valet service available, which was a nice touch. The dining room was reminiscent of Italy, featuring crisp white tablecloths and wooden floors. We enjoyed our meal out on the enclosed porch, surrounded by lush greenery that discreetly hid the white fence. It was quite charming! A big thank you to everyone for the outstanding service and incredibly tasty food. We will definitely be returning!

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and as soon as we walked in, the owner warmly welcomed us. We were seated and enjoyed an amazing dinner, complemented by excellent service! I highly recommend it!

Under new management, we had a wonderful dining experience at Cena Cucina! The restaurant's decor is bright and lovely, contributing to a cozy atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood special and pasta, both of which were outstanding! The wine selection is impressive, and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this place!

Great experience! Had dinner here over the weekend. Loved it! Food was fabulous and service the best. Outstanding wine selection. Gnocchi was great, veal chop special was outstanding! Try the cheesecake for sure. A real taste of Italian food and wine.
