    Very delicious! Best meal we’ve had in a long time. I had the lemon pasta and it was so good! The perfect portion, too! Husband had the short ribs and mashed potatoes and it was incredible. Split the delicious pear & gorgonzola arugula salad. Just a wonderful little gem!

    Excellent food all around. The White asparagus with speck appetizer special was a real standout. The service was impeccable and the Arancitini (sp) cocktail was sublime❤️

    We eat at Il Corso regularly, we live within walking distance. We love the food, the service and how completely consistent both are. We have never had a meal that was anything less than delicious, and the service is always just right. The avocado and artichoke salad is my favorite, and any friends we have join us always agree. And the cacio y pepe is the best I have ever eaten. We think Il Corso is one of the very best Italian restaurants in the city.
