A Toast to Excellence.
Last night, we gathered to celebrate a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, Candela Cucina’s 2026 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
Guests enjoyed an intimate, family style evening featuring thoughtfully paired wines, seasonal Italian-inspired cuisine, and the warm hospitality that defines the Candela experience. From the welcome Aperol Spritz to perfectly paired courses of house-made focaccia, tuna crudo, grilled branzino, wagyu bavette, and a sweet finish with strawberry cannoli and our Italian Ice Chocolate Raspberry Martini, every detail was designed to celebrate great food, great wine, and great company.
This recognition is an honor, but it’s also a reflection of our team, our partners, and every guest who has chosen to dine with us.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in raising a glass. Here’s to continuing our pursuit of excellence, one unforgettable meal at a time.
