{Food & Friends | Abe's Going-Away Party @Cucina Enoteca}

My college fraternity big bro Danny texted me last week about getting together for a surprise going-away dinner for our friend (his bro) Abe, who would be moving to Singapore for work; of course I gladly accepted. I absolutely had to attend this dinner to spend some time with Abe, and our friends that I hadn't seen since graduating school.
We gathered at Cucina Enoteca at the Irvine Spectrum; and started off with happy hour drinks and 1/2 off pizzas! Happy Hour/Specials below:

I truly couldn't have asked for a better way to spend time with friends; catching up over scrumptious food and drinks...the merriment just overfilled the patio. I wish Abe the best of luck, but it's not like he needs it! And I will surely be back to Cucina Enoteca to enjoy a glass of wine from their vast selection as well as explore their full and happy hour menus!
