   Fantastic job by staff and chefs. Worth every penny. Service was attentive from when we got to the door. Knew our reservation, first and last name, occasion and every detail of our correspondence prior. Ordered a tasting menu that didn't disappoint, allowed us to substitute pastas, which was great. Octopus was tender and smoky. Arancini was just right. Crispy on the outside, not overly cheesy inside. Tomato sauce on meatballs and even kids' pasta was bright, but not too tangy. Seafood spaghettoni was amazing. Beef cheek brasato was tender like you wouldn't believe. Service, timing of the food coming out, perfect. We had our two boys with us, and even they had a great time. Already talking about our next visit. This place is legit.

   Delicious meal, great and friendly service, warm ambiance, everything was exceptional! Cori serves authentic Italian cuisine, the kind of food you eat when you’re in Italy. The arancini are exquisite! The other appetizers we had, the bruschetta and zucca, were also phenomenal! The house made pasta is the best I’ve had outside of Italy. We had the Pappardelle with boar sauce, the Agnolotti, and the Spaghettoni with seafood carbonara -all were exceptional! We will definitely be going back … regularly! Grazie!

   Wonderful birthday dinner, sweet experience but not quite mind blowing.

   Warm, gracious service and varied menu to suit anyone’s palate. The story of the chef’s journey is felt in the care paid to every aspect of the dining experience. What a gem and worth visiting the North Park neighborhood to see.

   Thought the food quality matched our favorite Sorrento restaurants. Very authentic Southern Italy.

   Attentive service and good wine selection (with our favorite Italian wine, Lacrima Morro di Alba at a great price point) but was anticipating much better food after traveling far to experience this renown restaurant. Gnocchi and winter salad were fresh and excellent; everything else we had was hit and miss. Not sure if chef was absent on this day, but underwhelmed by the execution (or reheating due to a busy Friday night?) of our other courses. Here’s what we had: Winter Salad with Cara Cara oranges: fresh, good portion and delicious! Mushroom Truffle Arancini: the Gorgonzola inside the arancini and the sauce both completely overpowered the truffle taste. Eggplant Parmesan: very small portion with burned mozzarella. Traditional Lasagna: dry, burnt and no sauce. Gnocchi Norma: delicious, fresh and perfectly crafted pillows in a bright sauce garnished with basil; generous portion. Seafood (award winning?) Carbonara ($53) small portion, indistinguishable pieces of seafood, and dry with minimal caviar. Was expecting a more silky, luxurious texture with a standard portion for the price. The kind manager responded immediately to our disdain over the burnt lasagne by removing it from our bill. With a little more careful attention to the execution, flavor profile and texture, these dishes could be improved very easily!
