It was a great birthday celebration of my song became 22 yeas old! We had 4 appetizers: spicy squids, octopus, scallops and polenta with wild mushrooms. All were amazingly flavorful and delicious. My son had a tomahawk, while I enjoyed Mediterranean fish (I forgot what kind). That tomahawk was so huge but tender. It came with mushroom butter sauce and potatoes more condiments. We concluded this dinner with crème brûlée and flourless chocolate torte and a cup of decaf coffee. I’m so glad that my son is now old enough to appreciate these dishes wholeheartedly! And the service was impeccable, as usual. They were so attentive and everything was timed perfectly!! I really appreciated all aspects of the dinner!!

From opening the front door to enter all the way to saying good night, we had the BEST experience with all staff, servers, as well as their support people. The food was so tasty and beautifully presented. Portions were ample and left-overs taken home. We’ll be back soon! Thank you!

Highest authentic quality fabricated Italian food in the area. Classic white tablecloth experienced service staff. Wine menu cellar selection and humble service are outstanding as evidenced with DIRONA Awards.

Café Cortina is such a wonderful restaurant! The staff is attentive and friendly. They offer such nice touches—we arrived and they provided a nice romantic corner booth with a Happy Anniversary card on the table. We were also married there 5 years ago. The ambience is also quite nice.

Words can't describe the generous hospitality we experienced at Cafe Cortina last night. I called earlier in the day to ask about outdoor seating given the time of year (October) and the manager, Mohammed told me, "Do not worry. Come in and you will be taken care of." Well when we arrived, he had one table in the courtyard set up like a fairytale!!! It was a scene from the Bachelor. He created a beautifully romantic space just for my date and I. If this didn't blow us away already, the service would have and it did. Top of the line everything!!! Thank you!
