AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Corso Italian shines with "exceptional Italian food and service." Guests love the "amazing all-you-can-eat brunch" featuring small plates that "allow sampling of the full menu." The pasta, especially the "rigatoni bolognese," is a favorite. While noise levels can vary, the overall ambiance and attentive service make it a "neighborhood gem."

Mushroom Arancini were perfectly cooked. But the flavor came from the sauces. And the gnocchi were as delicate as I have ever tasted.

Our water, Scott, was delightful! Although we had a 5:00 reservation and arrived before 4:30 they generously said we could order food at a bar table and benefit from happy hour prices. The menu is smaller but such satisfying choices. The food is always cooked to perfection.

Service was a little slow as they lost our ticket, manger said a round of drinks on the house but I realized that it wasn’t taken off. The brunch menu was sufficient and the food was good.

A true neighborhood gem! We ate dinner on Wednesday night and were unexpectedly surprised that Corso offers half-off wine bottles on Wednesdays. This special coupled with superb pastas and entrees makes Corso a great venue.

This was our third dinner at Corso and the best. We dined with three others and all agreed that it was superb. Our server, Jesse, could not have been better, knowledgeable, attentive and gracious. We began with the Formaggi and Salumi Board, followed by the Burrste Caprese. Both were delicious especially the cheeses( we expected no less from Corso’s Cheesetique heritage) Our mains were the Campanella Alla Romana, a favorite, and the Rigatoni Alla Bolognese, which did not disappoint. One of our guests had the Veal Chop Milanese which we tasted and can report that it was one of the very best. We chose a Barolo wine that was a wonderful accompaniment. Dessert was a shared fig pannacotta and Circus Maximus a chocolate confection for the ages.. Some reviewers found Corso a bit pricey but we think it is an incredible value. Five stars well-deserved!
