About

One of only five American restaurants to hold Gambero Rosso's Tre Forchette distinction in 2025, Cori Pastificio Trattoria serves Sicilian-rooted cuisine from 2977 Upas Street in North Park. The women-owned trattoria, founded in 2019, shares the neighborhood's Italian dining corridor with Caffè Calabria, where diners often continue with espresso after a multi-course meal. Every pasta shape on the rotating menu is made by hand in-house using seasonal California produce and traditional Sicilian techniques sharpened by a 2017 Barilla World Pasta Championship title. Private event overflow and off-site catering in the 92104 ZIP code are handled by Chef Joann & Co. Catering + Events on University Avenue. Signature dishes include pappardelle with wild boar sugo, Sicilian-style eggplant parmigiana, and seafood carbonara built from locally sourced fish and house-made ricotta.
