‘Elevated’ Italian Eatery Coming To Morris County Soon

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Morristown foodies will soon be able to experience more fine dining in their town, with Cotto opening its doors soon.

Cotto is a “fine Italian dining” restaurant that’s opening its doors in December. The eatery will use the space that was previously occupied by Guerriero’s, which operated at 90 South Street for 20 years before closing this summer.

Cotto is the latest concept from Stirling Restaurant Group, which also owns Morristown’s Stirling Tavern and Dublin Pub, as well as the iconic Stirling Hotel in Stirling.

Cotto’s executive chef is Jordan Petriello, who’s worked in Michelin-star restaurants in New York City, as well as more local joints, including Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen in Morristown and Il Nido in Marlboro.

“Expect next-level Italian fine dining,” one social media post read.

The modern Italian restaurant has undergone some renovations ahead of opening, with leather booth seating, freshly painted walls, impressive light fixtures, and more. See a sneak peek at the restaurant’s interior below:

Cotto is currently hiring for all positions, including line cooks, servers, managers, bussers, and more. Owners recently held open houses so those looking for work can learn more.

An opening date has yet to be announced, and a menu hasn’t been shared yet, but Cotto will open sometime in December, according to representatives.
