There’s an authentic Italian restaurant that’s street-level at the historic El Cortez condos in downtown San Diego (up on Cortez Hill), where the owner mastered his craft serving as a captain on luxury cruise ships for years.
You’ll feel at home once you walk into this Osteria named Cotto e Mangiato, which is a famous slogan in Italy. Translation: Cooked and eaten!
Highly suggested: The Sunset Happy Hour, which offers three courses for $40. Or, go for the restaurant’s tableside cheese wheel.
Along with Happy Hour, there’s a menu for your furry best friend.
Don’t feel like eating out? They just added a section of authentic sauces and pastas from Sicily, so you can pick them up and create Italian dishes at home!
Cincin!
