    Amazing, as usual. This was my 2nd speciality dinner at Cori Pastificio. Acursio and staff always excel at service, food, creativity. From the cocktail to the plates and the wine pairings--excellent, and we learned about the creativity of local chefs using local seafood and local people to present beautiful and delicious food.

    If you are looking for a unique dining experience this is the place to go! I booked this place for a girls night and am so glad I did. I was greeted at the front door by the sweetest hostess that walked me up to the loft where we were having dinner. The space was so welcoming, and intimate. I felt as if I was walking into a long time friends house for a meal. The staff was attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Chef Jay created a 13 course meal, that with every plate seemed to just get better and better. Every time I thought I had picked a favorite dish then something else would come out and I would think that was the one. Every course was presented beautifully, the flavors were incredible, and the best part was that the Chef would come and explain every dish, even giving us a childhood story behind a couple. I cannot recommend this place enough, from the ambiance, to the staff and the amazing food, you will not be disappointed! Make sure to get the wine pairing too, definitely worth it! I am already counting down the days to my next visit, this time with my husband. Thank you Chef Jay and staff for an amazing night!
