Cooking from the Heart

“Cori” means heart in Chef Accursio Lota’s Sicilian dialect—and at Cori Pastificio, everything begins there.

From handmade pasta to warm hospitality, our approach is simple: cook with care, serve with intention, and create a place where people feel at home.

A True Trattoria

Cori is inspired by the trattorias of Italy—where food is honest, the atmosphere is relaxed, and meals are meant to be shared.

We make our pasta fresh daily and build our menu around seasonal ingredients and simple, bold flavors.
