Last fall Executive Chef Marco Provino opened morning-focused Cali Breakfast in Cortez Hill. Provino is also a founder of Giardino Italian restaurant in Lemon Grove and has ownership interests in San Diego-based Inpasta, Allegro and Rusticucina restaurants. Cali Breakfast featured a variety of Latin American and California-style breakfast options and a build-your-own drink experience.
Provino recently rebranded Cali-Breakfast to become Osteria Cotto e Mangiato, which offers an expansive selection of antipasti, which is an Italian word for 'pre-meal' snacks. Dubbed as the "city’s first Antipastini Restaurant & Bar," expect dishes like tuna tartare, beef carpaccio, homemade meatballs, arancini rice balls, meat and cheese boards, flatbreads, and much more, as well as salads, soups, fresh-made pasta, and a selection of entrees.
Osteria Cotto e Mangiato is now open at 702 Ash Street, Suite E, in San Diego's Cortez Hill. For more information, visit osteriacottoemangiato.com and check out the launch menu below.
