    Owners are wonderful, and what a talented chef! The food was delicious, and we tried some things like octopus which are notoriously difficult to get right. I highly recommend this restaurant. We always have a great experience and great food at Cortonas.

    The cheese wheel is phenomenal! Good wine selection and the Creme Brulee was quite good. Caesar did a nice job of attending our table.
