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.

Food was great - but the space was a little tight. Perhaps as it was Valentine’s Day. Would definitely go back. We had a controlled menu set - would want to explore with full menu option.

We thoroughly enjoyed a romantic and delicious Valentine's Day 6-course chef's dinner at Cori last night. The service was exceptional -- all staff were friendly and professional. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the black truffle lobster risotto was especially memorable. Excellent Italian wine selection from every region of Italy.

Definitely more of a spot for special occasions than weeknight dates, but the food and drinks are excellent. Comforting, but still inventive.

If you’re in the mood for traditional homemade pasta, this is the place. The strong suit of this cozy spot is expected Italian. Adventurous appetizers like the butternut squash w/ radicchio and other random ingredients miss the mark.

The restaurant was super noisy. Service was fsur at best as they had 2 waiters for the whole restaurant. The little gem salad was good. We had the eggplant Parma app, tasty but came out warm at best. And, had the Branzino,, topping was good but tasted like it was frozen fish.
