We loved the whole experience! The chef Pino himself came over to say hi! My child thought that was so cool. The food was delicious, our kids loved the yummy dessert. Our server Anastasia was attentive, all the servers there was really attentive we felt very well taken care of. Even though they seemed to have big parties happening the same time we never felt neglected. We went to celebrate a anniversary and their dessert chef was so amazing she even wrote us “Happy Anniversary “ We definitely try to go again!

Commercial Drive

About the restaurant

Bar Corso is more than just an apparition of Italian culture - it is the missing piece of Italian ethos on Vancouver's beloved Commercial Drive. Purposefully nestled into the heart of Little Italy, we are a tasting lounge, here for you to taste different regions of Italy through our cocktails, wines, grappa, Amari, and modern Cicchetti.

Always amazing at Bar Corso. The menu is inspiring and always changes based on what is in season. Quality ingredients and always treated the best. Chef Luke Boswell is a genius, eat here before they get their Michelin star and you can’t get a table. Also their cocktails are 👌🏻

About the restaurant

So, you can’t cook like Nonna? We’ve got you covered. Like his ancestors, Chef Enrico feels that food should be simple and made “farmer style,” with fresh, seasonal ingredients. All of our menu items are prepared with care in the traditional Italian fashion. Sauces are simmered for hours allowing for a true emersion of flavours. Similarly, our pizza dough is prepared in advance and allowed two days to rise — this grants that the yeast will complete its full growth cycle, creating a lighter meal. As Italian cuisine is so diverse, seasonal changes will be made to our menu; be sure to keep an eye out for new items, as well as old favourites.

As is at home, our food is best enjoyed when shared family style, like the typical Italian dinner table.
