    Our first time dining at Cortona was this evening. It was outstanding. Cortona isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Whether you're an Italian food purist or just looking for an unforgettable meal, this place is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back! The cheese wheel pasta is a true Italian experience all its own.

    Everything was absolutely amazing - from Cat’s wonderful hospitality as our server, to Chef Sarah making my pasta in the Parmesan wheel table side to Simone’s multiple visits to our and others tables - we truly felt like we were transported to a family owned restaurant in Italy. So authentic and delicious from start to finish. A perfectly made Aperol Spritz to boot! Bravo, Cortona’s!

    The Special Duck all’ Arancia was absolutely amazing! Perfectly balanced flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting. The staff at this restaurant genuinely care about their guests. When my child spilled their drink, they immediately brought a replacement and cleaned up. The ambiance at Cortona’s is so cozy and welcoming. The soft lighting and comfortable seating made it perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. It’s the little things that matter!!

    The food and service was outstanding!! For a truly authentic experience you must eat here. We had the Fumo and the tortellini Cortona. Both were delicious. We ended with a homemade cannoli cake. It was one of the best desserts that I’ve ever had!

    This hidden gem is a wonderful experience every time! The food, the wine, the service, and the welcoming staff are fantastic. My favorite dish this night was the duck breast alla arancia (carmalized orange sauce).
