    From appetizers to desserts, Cortona’s exceeded all our expectations! We especially enjoyed the appetizers, the variety of desserts, and the Short ribs ravioli . The crème brûlée was a crowd-pleaser! Highly recommended. If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried. We only had good comments about the food. I can’t wait to come back again; also the The wine list offers a wide variety of options, the Cortona’s Shyra il Castagno was Delicious. Strongly recommended this place for a cozy authentic Italian dinner!

    Elizabeth does a terrific job with craft drinks at the Bar. Try the "Harvest Gold" drink! Laura our waitress is always great, attentive and personable. Sara prepared my cheese wheel entree tableside and it was excellent. The Prosciutto & Melone Appetizer and the Chocolate Mousse for desert were outstanding. Truly an authentic Italian dining experience.

    The food was delicious. Freshly made pasta can't be beat. It's definitely a great date night spot, or just a family dinner.

    Met the owner and received recommendations for both him and our server. Exceptional service all the way around and not one bite left over! Dishes we tried were the chicken Parmesan, fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and the house lasagna. Absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to come back.
