"Since opening in 2019, this bright, cozy Italian trattoria has showcased Sicilian dishes from chef Accursio Lota. While the interior shines with sunny colors, the outdoor patio space is warmed with heaters and string lights. The house-made pastas are made on the premises each day with heirloom Sicilian grains and local seasonal ingredients. Try the lamb chops, crusted with pine needles, and eggplant parmigiana, as well as the award-winning seafood carbonara pasta. Well-received by locals as well as the international culinary community, this North Park treasure has a vegan menu and Sicilian desserts such as the ruota menfitana, a ruota shell filled with sheep ricotta, candied oranges, and prickly pear juice. Must-try dishes: Be sure to try the seafood carbonara pasta, made with ancient grains. It’s a dish that made chef Lota the winner in a global pasta competition." - Candice Woo
