History
Culinaria was launched in 2009 as a customized catering service, specializing in fresh foods and made-from-scratch cuisine. After eight years in the events industry husband-and-wife owners, Regan and Aaron Pillar, craved greater connection to the Lawrence community. So in the fall of 2017, they decided to take the plunge and open up the doors to the Culinaria event space as a full-service restaurant. Inspired by the cuisine of the Mediterranean and blended with strong Midwestern roots, Culinaria Mediterranean Kitchen creates delicious memories and unforgettable experiences.
Specialties

Located in one of Lawrence's most historic buildings, Culinaria opens its doors every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for Mediterranean-inspired dinner selections and a bar program full of fresh fruit cocktails, eclectic wine options and craft beer. With flavorful food made from scratch and a warm, friendly environment, the folks at Culinaria invite you to relax and celebrate one of life's greatest joys ... the simple pleasure of eating and drinking.
