Culinaria celebrates 15 years in business

Culinaria, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant in East Lawrence, is celebrating 15 years in business this September. After covering Culinaria as a vegetarian-friendly hidden gem in our episode of No Free Lunches from 2020, we’re now coming full circle to showcase their success.

In this episode, you’ll hear from co-owner Regan Lehman Pillar. She shares how her and her husband Aaron, co-owner and chef, grew their business from a small catering company to a staple restaurant in the Lawrence food scene. Their secret ingredient? Taking care of their people.

Culinaria will honor its 15th year with a special prix fixe menu from Sept. 4-7, plus $7 glasses of champagne to represent its 7 years as a brick-and-mortar restaurant. In this episode, you’ll also see the building’s new renovations, including an upgraded bar and new dining room layout.
