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.”
The Gambero Rosso Top Road Show Tour landed in San Diego to present the award during the announcement ceremony. Mr. Lorenzo Ruggeri, curator of the Gambero Rosso guide, and Luigi Salerno, the guide’s CEO, presented the award to Chef Lota and his wife and co-owner Corinne Goria in person. Cori Trattoria Pastificio was awarded Opening of the Year in Gambero Rosso’s 2021 Guide. A select few restaurants around the world receive the Tre Gamberi, including Massimo Bottura’s Torno Subito in Dubai, which was given the award in 2021.
Cori Trattoria Pastificio has been recognized among such an esteemed group for their many classic and innovative dishes, including snails in garlic confit with cherry tomatoes and mint, tuna prosciutto, savory donuts with parmesan foam, and an array of handmade seasonal pastas and ravioli.
