Wow the food here is absolutely delicious . We started with the oysters and the Wagyu tartare, both were incredible and I had the black cod and my husband had the pasta for dinner and it was amazing. Service from Erick was with a smile and very friendly atmosphere. It’s a bit small, with only one bathroom and was busy on a Saturday night, but we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love eating here. It is high quality sushi at a great price. The service is amazing and there is a fun atmosphere. Great for all occasions. I really enjoy sitting at the bar but there are also tables there. While eating at the bar you get to interract with the chefs which makes it special. It is one of the better sushi spots in San Diego. The quality and service reminds me of Soichi. You will not be dissapointed.

Amazing, as usual. This was my 2nd speciality dinner at Cori Pastificio. Acursio and staff always excel at service, food, creativity. From the cocktail to the plates and the wine pairings--excellent, and we learned about the creativity of local chefs using local seafood and local people to present beautiful and delicious food.
