Service was slow so we left rather than stay and order. The 1 server working was totally nice about it, though, but we’re never returning.

Hi there, Glenn. I know about the issues on Monday night and I'm SO sorry! This was the "perfect storm" of being unexpectedly short-staffed and having a particularly busy Monday night. I know how frustrating that can be, but please know that this is not the norm. I hope you'll consider visiting us again, knowing that this was an exception to our usual great experience. I'm going to reach out to you directly as well. Thank you so much! - Jill Erber (owner, Corso Italian)

Our service was amazing and the food was superb! However, my friends and I sat in the back part of the restaurant and it was a bit difficult to hear each other but this just shows how busy they are...probably because of the food. I would most likely eat here again.

Pasta was excellent and drinks were too. The service was bothersome. The waiter was overly attentive and needed us to point out specifically what we wanted on the menu. He continually asked us when we would like him to enter our entrees and appetizers instead of him being able to do so or course it out. I wouldn't go back only because the waiter was so inexperienced and unsure about his job; however, the food was good and it is convenient to the Signature Theater before the show.

Our server was outstanding. The food portions were small for the price. Overall, it was an experience.
Corso ItalianResponded 7 days ago
Hi there, Zina. Thank you again for joining us to celebrate your anniversary! I'm glad you loved the service! Regarding "All You Can Mangia Brunch" portion size, the portions are small on purpose, as this is an unlimited brunch so you can order many items to try. When portions are too large, people fill up quickly and wish they had more room to try more items. Again, I'm glad you enjoyed your experience and we hope to see you again soon! - Jill (owner, Corso Italian)

First time trying the AYCM brunch. Excellent. The burrata was a fabulous. The meatballs - a dream. Literally everything was amazing. And the bread? Some of the best I’ve ever had.
