    Fantastic, flawless food. Lovely ( if loud) space. Excellent service. Slight misstep when they needed a reminder about the birthday we were celebrating ( all we wanted was a candle, but even with a nudge it wasn’t on target). Overall an outstanding meal at a not outrageous price point. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely go back!

    The first time my wife and I ate at Il Corso, we thought the pastas were excellent. That was not the case with the pasta I ordered today. It was one of their daily specials, with a veal ragu. Pleasant but underseasoned and not distinctive. Furthermore, the waiter did not provide price information for the specials, and the pasta turned out to be much more expensive than any on the regular menu (one of my pet peeves is when restaurants do this). Also, no bread was served, and should have been given the high prices. Lastly, we were in a group of 6 people (3 couples), so I asked if we could have separate checks. no, I was told, the restaurant only provides one check per table. Why??? Not true of many other restaurants. I doubt that we will return here.

    The selection was varied so that you could eat as little or as much as you wanted. I was disappointed in the beet salad. There was very little cheese or greens.

    Excellent attentive service but don't rush you. Ravioli is always fantastic -- so tasty!! Their desserts are so good.

    Although the presentation of our meals was excellent, the flavors of our dishes did not match. We chose this restaurant based on its excellent reviews, menu, and charm; however, the taste of the food did not meet our expectations. The waiter was pleasant and attentive, and we enjoyed the atmosphere and jazz music. We wish our meals had more flavor because we feel this restaurant has potential.

    Outstanding service and food. Could not have been better. Our server helped with the wine selection. Even recommended one that was less expensive than the one I was considering. It was an excellent choice. Make sure you get a reservation.
