    Service was great. Barberesco was heat. The clams and mussels weee great. The chicken parmigiana and scallops were great. We had a grey time. We’ve gone here for dinner at least a dozen times and it just keeps getting better.

    Wife and I were immediately greeted by the owners as we walked in the door. Had reservations, but decided to sit at the bar as they were the ones tending. Service, drinks, and every last item we ordered was absolutely outstanding. We made a reservation to bring family while eating dessert. Our new favorite spot.

    We have never had a bad meal at Cortona’s. It is one of my favourite restaurants. Always delicious! The octopus bucatini is my go to meal and the cannoli cake is the best dessert around!

    I brought my friend Arturo on a date, first time at Corrona’s for him. He truly enjoyed everything and we can’t wait to go back for the next date.

    What an incredible dining experience! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and the service was lightning-fast and incredibly professional. Our appetizer and main course arrived right on schedule, and the drink selections were expertly curated by none other than the owner and chef, Simone himself. He made his rounds, checking in on everyone and ensuring we were all comfortable and satisfied, creating a truly warm and welcoming vibe. While chatting with Simone, we discovered the fascinating roots and intricacies of Tuscan cuisine. We decided to go for the heavenly gnocchi pasta and succulent beef, following a delightful polenta appetizer that set the stage perfectly. To top off this culinary journey, we indulged in creamy panna cotta and decadent tiramisu. The evening concluded at the bar with a rich espresso served by Simone’s charming wife, Betta. Her warmth and hospitality added the perfect finishing touch to a remarkable family-style Italian adventure. A huge thank you to the entire Cortonas team! I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!

    We had family in for a visit this weekend. They had been to Cortona's during their last visit and wanted to go again. The evening was as wonderful as they remembered. My wife and I had the clams and mussel's appetizer which comes in a delicious butter and wine sauce. After enjoying the perfectly prepared clams and mussels, we dip their homemade focaccia into the sauce - it's so GOOD! Both the pork chop and the Tuscan Ragu dishes were ordered and greatly enjoyed by my family. For dessert, the Lemon Mascarpone and Tiramisu treats were enjoyed by the table. The restaurant is compact and was lively the Saturday night we were there. A reservation is definitely required. Eating at Cortona's, enjoying their well prepared, tasty dishes with a glass of wine, makes for a most enjoyable dining experience.
