   Food is great but the noise level is so loud, it is hard to hear the person next to you. As long as that doesn’t bother you, it’s a great place. The service is impeccable.

   Everything was wonderful. The noise level, however, made it challenging for us to hear each other

   We ordered a number of items and enjoyed them all, the sea bass was excellent and the bistecca alla Florentino was better than than ones I've had in Tuscany. Great local place we will definitely be back to.

   Celebrating my wife's birthday here. Had a wonderful meal. The pork chop was one of the best I have ever had - seasoned well, cooked perfectly. Also enjoyed the squid ink pasta and chicken pate crostini. The service was very good. Dinner for two with a 50 dollar bottle of wine and a solid amount of food was $215. Would definitely go back.

   Tables are spaced close together, and noise can be louder than desirable. But the food and service are so outstanding that it is worth it.

   Our visit was even more special because the main chef warmly greeted us when we came in. Every dish was so thoughtfully plated and tasted great! The main chef even checked in with us while we were having our steak and shared that they source their beef from Painted Hills Ranch in Oregon. We had our steak medium-rare; it was perfect, juicy, and flavorful! When we were leaving, the chef came out again to say good bye and wished us a happy anniversary! The service was precise, personable, and attentive. Via del Corso is always our favorite place for a special occasion!

    The food is always fantastic here, great menu and superb execution. A great value for the money. It can be tough to get a table around 630 Friday and Saturday night. Definitely call ahead. A little bit noisy with tables close together but it actually gives me great New York City vibe. Plus you can check out what other folks around you are ordering before you have to make a call. Highly recommend.

    Via Del Corso specials never fail while new additions and variations, all seasonal, impress. The salmon-filled ravioli with roe and a cream sauce was a winner. Old standby ragu with fettucine noodles was again an excellent choice.

    It is always fun to be at Corso's and glad it has reopened. The food was mixed. The Branzino was fabulous but the ravioli was not as good as it could have been- not very flavorful and a bit overdone. The endive salad was less enjoyable. Will order something else next time. The service was fine. We will be back but more careful about ordering.

    Via del Corso delivers every time. From the warm greeting by the hostess, to the friendly service from the server, to the delicious plate that flow from the kitchen…we delight in our visits. I dined in a village in Piedmont in late September…the ragu last night was nearly identical. Keep it coming Corso!

    Corso has seemingly morphed from an innovative modern Mediterranean to your neighborhood pasta joint in a few short years. I don't know if this was an intentional down-market move to appeal to a wider audience or just that we caught them on an off night, but the flavor profiles have gone from transcendent to ordinary-I-could-do-this-at-home. One of our pastas was as bland as a water cracker. All of this would be tolerable if the price points tracked accordingly, but at $350 for 3 of us with wine and tip, this is not good value. Premium pricing for neighborhood fare might work in Berkeley, but to us this is a restaurant that no longer knows what it wants to be.

Peter Chastain and his team are superb at execution of perfect service, exceptional food, and knowledgeable & welcoming staff. Our family thanks you!

    All of our dishes were very good and the pork chops were outstanding. We sat in the parklet and although the weather was cold, the heaters did a good job of keeping us comfortable. The noise level outside wasn’t bad even with passing traffic.

    Corso demonstrated again its delicious food and amazing service. We sat outside and were comfortable with the heaters even though it was a cold night. We tried three of the four pastas - the butternut squash one was the best. The baby octopus in spicy red sauce was perfectly cooked and tender. And the lamb chop special was delicious including the saffron couscous. The Cicero cocktail was enjoyed. The affogato comes with cold coffee instead of a separate shot to pour over. It was still very good. And the wine list has lots of good options by the glass. Highly recommend!

    Happy the restaurant is still around and still producing quality meals even after change of ownership. Cannoli desert finish was a bit bland, probably would have been better if allowed to warm up to room temp a bit before serving. Service and cocktails were excellent.

    This restaurant is normally one of my favorite Italian bistros in the East Bay. So lively and delicious, yet cozy. However, when my husband and I dined there last night (I had informed them when I made the online reservation that we were celebrating my husband's birthday), we felt largely neglected. No mention of the birthday let alone a little cake and candle. The burrata and prosciutto app was...a little button of nice burrata under a fair pile of mid-range prosciutto. Then a lonnnngg delay getting entrees, while we watched later-comers mow down on theirs. Would I like another drink? They'll never know because they never asked. Kinda meh all around. Had to search up our server to get the (not insignificant) check, escaped without taking a chance on ordering a yummy-looking dessert. Sigh.
