    Took my husband here for his birthday and had a great experience. The quality of the food was very good and so was the service. Will definitely make it a point to dine here again.

    Limited menu but all items are carefully thought through and prepared. Tables are too close together for my comfort. I realize it's a small space, but because the tables are so closely spaced you end up having dinner with people you don't know.

    We went here around 10pm when they were about to close. We were expecting that the hostess would rush us as the kitchen was about to close. But to our surprise, she didn’t. I was very impressed with her friendliness and taking time to answer our questions. She give us space and time to decide what we wanted to order. It made a huge difference to the entire experience! The food quality was phenomenal! Their chicken main is to die for. I have never had a chicken so soft that melts in your mouth- yummm. The pasta was wonderful too- made just right. Five star on everything - the management and owner should be very proud of the staff for providing stellar experience and food right till then end of the night when probably everyone is tired and wanting to go home. Will definitely go back. Have already told all my friends about it:)

    Food was good, but it was the smallest portion of pasta I've had at a Italian restaurant. There were only 3 shrimp and not much pasta in the Farfalle. It was also a little heavy on the oil. The flavor was good. The other person with me had the cannelloni and thought it was tasty. I would come back again to give it another try.

    Went to Corso for our anniversary. Last time we were there was 7 years ago for our anniversary and the experience is just as amazing. Great vibe and very friendly service. Food was amazing too and so hard to decide what to order because everything sounded delicious! I can’t say enough great things about this place and I’m looking for another reason to go back lol

    The food was great, but the service was off and took long time with no check ins. They also called and told me that my reservation was one hour earlier, when i didn't made any change (I now see changed reservation email, but I didn't make the change. It must have happened on the restaurants side). Our table was close to the kitchen area and they must've opened the back door or something and it was freezing. With knowing it was a birthday celebration, they didn't do anything special except a candle. I'd rather spend my time and money aomewhere else next time.

    Returning customers. The food was excellent with this caveat; we found maybe a few tablespoons of polenta under the cheese, and that was disappointing. That said, the chicken was incredibly tender, the seasoning nuanced, and overall, it was another satisfying dinner out at Corso.
