Review summary

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.
