We were showed to our table the only 2 seater in the middle of the restaurant with waiters going by us on both sides. I asked if we could sit elsewhere and a cocky waiter with no manners said that's what happens when you book a late reservation which he repeated 3 times other people booked earlier so those other tables taken. He was not friendly or conciliatory at all. The waitress was cool did not know how to smile and had no warmth. The food was mediocre and if you wanted bread they charged for it.

My husband had the prosciutto and fig pizza that he describes as amazing and the peach mule. Service was good and the food came out really fast. I like that you can see the kitchen and fridges - you can tell they run a tight and clean ship.

We got the tomato, mushroom and brie bruschetta. Mushroom one had goat cheese which I dislike but other table mates said was delicious. Tomato one was good. Brie was my favorite. Not easy to share with the table which made it very awkward and not everyone got to try some. You can cut them into about 3 pieces which still left 1 of us not being able to try it. I got the Spaghetti Carbonara: 9/10. Very good, pasta was cooked well, there was enough sauce. Good flavor. Boyfriend got the special which was cheese stuffed ravioli in rose sauce - 10/10. Loved that it comes with extra protein (chicken). Friend got Veal Scaloppine: very garlic-y. Friends said she would not get again. But very generous portion of vegetables - broccolini, peppers, carrots. And the half of a baked potato came with cheese baked on top which looked amazing. Friend got the lasagna and loved it, reports it is not spicy and has a lot of meat (ground) in it. They brought over a free chocolate mousse dessert with a sparkler as well. Overall very nice pasta place.

I called and was quoted 22min which I thought was quite long but it took me that long to get there anyway. There was lots of 2 hour street parking available. Very nice decor inside - fancy, classy, romantic would be how I would describe the decor. The restaurant was completely empty at 5PM although they did just open at 4:30PM. My order was ready when I arrived (20min later). I got the Arancini appetizer, Gnocchi entree, and Tartufo (choc + raspberry ice cream) dessert all for ~$40. The food survived the 11 minute drive home (even the ice cream). The Arancini was delicious - like a deep-fried risotto ball should be. I liked that it came with a touch of tomato sauce which gave it a nice acidic kick. The gnocchi were larger than I expected and therefore hard to eat in 1 bite so I had to try to cut each one before eating. Not the best I have ever had. I got it with the rose sauce which was nice but nothing special. Creamy but not a lot of flavour. The tartufo was promising - like a black forest cake but ice cream style. Too bad it had such a miniscule amount of raspberry. 95% chocolate ice cream; which was good chocolate ice cream for sure but not enough acidic to balance out all the sweet for me. Place and menu look great and promising but unfortunately, I was underwhelmed for the price and can't see myself back anytime soon.

Having never had it before, my boyfriend and I ordered pizza from Pisa Pizza because of the great reviews on yelp. We ordered two kinds: Greek and Meat Lovers. The Greek pizza was not good....at all. The crust was very thick but more like bread (stale bread) than a good pizza crust. The meat lovers was only slightly better but not that good either; almost tasteless. The pizzas arrived almost cold and had to be heated up in the microwave. I would have to say that this is one of the worst pizzas either of us have ever had....and we eat pizza often from various pizza joints. I don't know if they were having an off night.....the delivery guy said they were really busy. But I honestly can say I will never order pizza from here again. Sorry.

Scottadito= Roman style lamb chops with salsa verde.

Service was excellent as usual It is warm and comfortable, and the warm tones with the wood make it an intimate and lovely place to linger with friends (although they do have a time limit because they are so busy so be mindful). Great wine list as well. Prices are on the higher end, so realize that when you go.

The tall brutalist cement benches are gone and replaced w cushioned benches and chairs reminiscent of the 60's. Clean and functional. The walls are now a muted terra cotta colour and the sound is much better modulated by the panelling. Gone is the private room for a more practical open second floor w a wall unit now on the stair side as a storage and partition. The main floor has more cozy tables signifying a more casual restaurant. The food is anything but casual. Made for sharing, so like your dinner companions, on 2 separate occasions went as a couple and a group of 5. The Siciliano bread w house made ricotta is excellent. The bread is crusty and airy. Soft crumb and the right amount of salt in the crust. We had a prawn appetizer. So delicious and the Prawns Diavolo were of excellent quality. The lamb appetizer provides 5 pieces cooked to perfection w a lovely sauce. The chicken wings Pollo Spiedino were done well and crispy on skewers. The gnocchi di polenta w black truffle was excellent. The polenta makes it a little less cloud like but delicious, nonetheless. The ravioli was so fresh and light - the whole plate disappeared in a flash. The paccheri here is spicy and a favourite. The real star if the Domenica served w ziti as the e noodle in a light ragu. The meat - beef (both brisket and rib) pork meatball and fennel sausage was fall off the bone and browned well. Even for four, it was generous. Desserts we tried were the sorbeto which this month is BC nectarine flavour w a lightly salted cream to cut the sweetness. The chocolate mousse was a layered masterpiece of mousse and cream, powdered w chocolate and chocolate crystals. Really an excellent dessert. Great for date night and even better w a group to share more plates. Corso does it again!

Place has "very fancy" feel and would be good for special events/celebration dinners. Free bread to start was fine but not the best I have had. I prefer mine with butter but the oil/vinegar is probably more typical. We tried the: Calamari: 10/10, great texture, loved that we got 2 sauces to dip in. Fettuccine Tavolino (cheese wheel pasta): 10/10. Boyfriend was not too full after. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Nice cheesy creamy flavor. Ravioli Alla Zucca: 9/10, I can't remember if there were 6 or 7 ravioli in the dish. Very pleasing presentation. In my opinion too many sundried tomatoes. I love that it comes with sundried tomatoes as that added some great tang/flavor. Ravioli themselves were perfectly cooked. Brown butter sauce was excellent and wanted more. Creme Brule: 9/10, exactly as expected, definitely enough to share between 2 people. Affogato: vanilla gelato was 11/10 good to me but boyfriend didn't like the flavor. We both agree the espresso was excellent. Very small portion (too small to share!). Free cookies at the end were fine. Overall food was excellent and I'll be back but to try something different on the menu.

I had really high hopes for this meal but it was just so very disappointing and I can't imagine…read moreever returning. To be clear, the service was not 1 star. We were greeted nicely, asked where we wanted to sit and had our water orders taken quickly. We had to wait a while for our server but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt as I don't think he is a server and may have had other things to do. But it w asnt busy and we were paying a lot so I should expect a little more attentive service. We eventually ordered an appetizer, each had a special and drinks . The appetizer was a lobster and cream cheese dip with toasted pita. And it was very good, though the pita was just cut in triangle. Hard to mess that up. The dip was fantastic and cheesy with big chunks of lobster. Great start and we were excited. That is the end of anything good. My wife ordered the special ravioli with shrimp, scallops and mussels. The shrimp was decent but nothing special. The scallops needed a better sear and were a bit soggy. The mussels were so small as to be almost tasteless. But the crime was the actual ravioli. It was thick and under cooked. The stuffing was good but you can't get over the huge bites of undercooked pasta. It was very off putting. The sauce and stuffing made it palatable but my wife couldn't finish .And I know it wasn't just us because I talked to friends at another table who said the same thing about theirs. I ordered the surf and turf special. Big mistake. Great presentation with the big lobster tail and good looking steak. The lobster was good. Not great. But it was a bit bland if you didn't dip it in the butter. And it seemed way smaller than the shell. I gave a bite to my wife and that left me with basically 3 more bites. And I'm not talking big bites. Normal bite sizes. Seemed the shell was larger than the meat in it. The steak looked great. But I couldn't even swallow the first bite. It was so stringy and fatty. It is hard trying to spit out food at a fancy restaurant. But I had to. And not just once! Every piece around the edge was fatty and gristly and stringy and I couldn't eat it. I tried to cut around the sides and just eat middle pieces. Managed to get a couple pieces but most of them were still stringy and I had to chew forever to get it down to size to swallow. My jaws hurt. In the end, I managed to eat less than half and left two big spit balls of inedible meat and the circumference of fat on the plate. To make it worse, it was close to rare and almost raw looking in some parts despite ordering medium rare. Just an awful steak all around. The mashed potatoes were very good though not plentiful and not near enough to overcome the meat. The veggies of one carrot, one bush of broccoli and a couple soggy zucchini slices were well done and actually I could have made a meal of them and been almost satisfied. When we started the dinner a group of four was sat behind us and they were the loudest people ever. No indoor voices. They seemed to know our waiter as they had a couple loud conversations with him and he was over a lot. I mean our food was terrible but the ambience had been nice. There was at least that. But now even that was ruined by these people. And I know I can't blame the restaurant for that. But I will say that they got much more attention from that point than we did. I actually think he came over exactly once to see how things were and we didn't get offered another drink at all. Our water glasses were refilled, not always by him. Again, maybe he had other things to do, but he seemed to have time for this other table. But I would still expect more attentive service at a place like this. By this time, we just wanted to leave. My wife still had half her plate and my plate looked like a bloody massacre on porcelain. Then our waiter came with a dessert with a sparkler going. Our friends surprised us by ordering it. It was bread pudding with a ball of vanilla ice cream. The bread pudding was good not great. IBut it was passable and it was free so that makes it better. Ice cream is ice cream and great but it is ice cream and hard to mess that up. In all it was a passable dessert but did not come close to making up for the atrocity that was the main course. Unfortunately, we are not the kind to send food back or cause a scene but it would have been deserved. Anyways, he leaves us the machine and we don't see him again. Got a good bye and thanks from the hostess but that was it. We got in the car and looked at each other and agreed it was terrible and we would never go back and that we would have a do-over anniversary in a couple months to make up for it. Such high expectations and promising start but overall not good at all. There are too many good restaurants to go to and explore in this city to waste another night there.
