Cori Trattoria Pastificio, a multiple award-winning Italian restaurant led by Chef Accursio Lota and located in San Diego’s thriving North Park community, has received the Tre Gamberi from Gambero Rosso. According to Gambero Rosso, Italy’s premier food and wine rating group – similar to France’s Michelin Star Awards and the James Beard Award in the United States – the Three Shrimps are “awarded to bistros, and trattorias, true engines of the Italian gastronomic tradition.”

“We are so thrilled to receive this honor,” says Chef Lota. “My wife Corinne [Goria] and I have put our hearts and souls into Cori and this award is a total honor for us.” He continues, “My goal is to always be true to my Italian heritage and Sicilian roots while emphasizing fresh local ingredients. We want our guests to experience dishes that reflect tradition but also a little bit of the unexpected.”
