About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

Acclaimed Sicilian Chef Accursio Lota serves up authentic cuisine in a cozy 60's-style Italian trattoria. Voted San Diego's Best Chef five years in a row, and Barilla’s World Pasta Champion, at Cori Trattoria Chef Lota serves up beautifully bold dishes like Agnolotti with Spring Peas and Beef Bone Marrow, and an unbelievably rich Vegan Parmigiana di Melanzane. The menu melds the flavors of Sicily and Italy with the best of fresh, locally-sourced Southern California ingredients, and is matched by a curated wine list and cocktail program that include indigenous, bio-dynamic varietals from all Italy.

The current Spring menu features dishes like Agnolotti with Spring Peas, fava bean, and beef bone marrow, and Cacio e Pepe with sustainably-sourced Petrovich caviar.

Enjoy full-service table seating, grab a place at the marble-topped bar, from which you can watch all the action of your meal being prepared in the open kitchen or just order your meal to enjoy at home with your family.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Accursio Lota

From the OpenTable editors: At this colorful Italian restaurant, even the light fixtures are styled like pasta shapes. That delicious backdrop sets the stage for chef Accursio Lota’s soulful Sicilian dishes; many of his pastas are based on a special mix of flours made with ancient grains from Italy, including spaghettoni with seafood carbonara, plus thoughtful gluten-free and vegan options.

We came on Father’s Day with our two year old, they are kid friendly and have a kids menu! The adults ordered 3 appetizers. We loved the focaccia and octopus. The bufala was ok, the peaches weren’t very ripe. For our main dish we got the Father’s Day special (lamb) and the vegetarian gnocchi, which was so good! The service was great. We also got a couple drinks (NA spritz and a Negroni) and dessert- the lemon mousse with passion fruit. So much good food and we were well taken care of! It was our first time but we will be back!

Some of the best Italian food I’ve had in San Diego. We went with family on Father’s Day we had a group of six. The service was great no problems they were attentive and pleasant. The food was exceptional. The feeling and ambiance felt like I was back in Florence. The Brunello wine was so good i immediately ordered it when I got home. Highly recommend.
