Cucina Di Mare brings coastal Italian cooking to Plaza West on Coral Harbour Road in Nassau, Bahamas. The restaurant’s identity is shaped by the meeting of Mediterranean tradition and island ingredients, with a menu focused on fresh seafood, Italian technique and Bahamian influence. The result is a dining style that connects the coast of Italy with the surrounding waters and produce of the islands.
The kitchen balances familiar Italian foundations with locally sourced ingredients and tropical flavors. Handmade pasta, seafood prepared over wood fire, fresh catch and citrus-led preparations all fit the restaurant’s coastal focus. The menu is designed around clean flavors and careful preparation, with seafood playing a central role alongside pasta, salads, sauces and desserts. Bahamian touches add brightness and local character without moving the cooking away from its Italian base.
The setting is refined but welcoming, making Cucina Di Mare suitable for a relaxed meal with an elevated feel. The restaurant presents dining as a broader experience rather than a quick stop, with attention given to the relationship between food, drinks and atmosphere. A cocktail program adds tropical notes to classic and contemporary combinations, creating a natural pairing for seafood and coastal dishes.
Italian culinary traditions also appear in the restaurant’s approach to small plates, pasta and dessert. Richer elements are balanced with citrus, fresh herbs, tomatoes and island produce, while seafood preparations keep the menu connected to Nassau’s coastal setting. The range can suit diners seeking a seafood-focused meal as well as those looking for Italian comfort dishes with a Bahamian interpretation.
A cigar menu forms part of the venue’s wider offering, adding another option for a longer evening. Reservations are available for planned dining, and the restaurant also presents itself as a setting for gatherings. Cucina Di Mare is a fit for diners interested in coastal Italian cuisine, fresh seafood, tropical cocktails and a polished atmosphere that remains approachable.
