Bar Corso is more than just an apparition of Italian culture - it is the missing piece of Italian ethos on Vancouver's beloved Commercial Drive. Purposefully nestled into the heart of Little Italy, we are a tasting lounge, here for you to taste different regions of Italy through our cocktails, wines, grappa, Amari, and modern Cicchetti.

First time there. Happy Hour on a Saturday afternoon. Gorgeous venue. Loved a dramatic bar. If you are a Negroni lover like myself, Bar Croso is a must visit, so you can check out their various (about half a dozen different types) Negroni. I absolutely enjoyed my Sbagliato ($11 during Happy Hour). The food unfortunately did not meet our expectation. The Wagyu crostini looked great on the surface, in terms of its presentation, but the taste was very meh. The tuna crostini was better, but I don't think my sister and I were madly in love with it, either. The gnocchi (whopping $30 despite during Happy Hour) was not worth the money at all. It was not terrible, but both my sister and I have had gnocchi that is a million times better and did not cost that much. I would certainly go back only for drinks and the ambience - not the food, though.

Absolutely love it here ! The espresso negroni is soooo delicious and completely addicted to the crostinis .. they change the menu often one time I had a pasta with crab and it was so good we went Back right away to have it again before the menu changed .. the food and drinks are so thoughtfully created and bursting with flavours .. also love the music …

I've been here a few times with friends and really enjoy the cocktails, so I brought my husband for his birthday. Ambiance was great! Serving staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy! They even accomodated our request for seating. The drinks were great, as always (love their espresso martini)... but the food was a bit of a miss this time. We got the smoked duck pasta and root vegetable gratin. But the experience was still enjoyable, overall.
