    Love the food, staff, drinks, and vibe. The only downside is it’s noisy inside

    We split the Insalata Della Casa, Fusilli alla Zozzona and the Spring lamb dish. Suffice to say we "oohed and ahhed" over each dish. Fresh, incredibly favorful, both the pasta and lamb at a perfect temperature. I was hesitant to order the lamb because I raise sheep and cook it myself but not like this, I need the recipe! In addition our waiter was warm and engaging, paid just the right amount of attention to us and was extremely helpful as we chose the dishes and wine. I have been here twice in three weeks and will be back soon, thank you! Pamela

    Corso never fails to deliver. We had three courses, and all the plates were sent back clean - except for the bone from the pork chop, which has become a favorite. It's not the same exact preparation each time, but always delicious.
