Dora Ristorante

After quietly building one of San Diego’s most beloved Italian concepts out of a cozy North Park trattoria, Dora marks the newest venture for husband-and-wife duo Chef Accursio Lota and writer and hospitality visionary Corinne Goria. Named for Chef Accursio’s grandmother, Dora celebrates coastal Southern Italian cuisine–rooted in tradition, guided by seasonality, and interpreted through a contemporary lens. The menu draws inspiration from the sea and the seasons, centered around handmade pastas, Mediterranean seafood, and a touch of theatrical flair, with thespian-inspired dining experience and themed specialty cocktails as an ode to the neighboring Tony Award-winning La Jolla Playhouse.
