    Clams & Mussels app was good, pasta menu items were very good, pasta cheese wheel and salmon were at best room temperature (actually closer to cold), and service was slow from the time we were seated until the time we left. Was very excited to go but was quite disappointed. Unlikely to go back.

    Never had a bad meal here. I’ve joined Cortona’s at least 10 times now and it’s always outstanding. Great service and friendly owners, this is a gem.

    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.
