    Vito is the best waiter! He anticipates our every need and is warm, welcoming and charming. The food and service at Corso are always stellar but Vito makes our visits even more special. I only wish you’d bring polenta not the menu as a side.

    It was a cold, rainy and raw evening so entering Via del Corso was a welcoming relief to the harsh external conditions. The enthusiastic and genuine smile of the hostess instantly made me forget about the weather. Claudia, my waiter, was exceptional: Thoughtful, attentive, very knowledgeable of the wine list & menu and responsive. I ordered the Lattuga (Little Gem) salad, Ravioli Stuffed with Braised Oxtail and paired it with a bottle of 2019 Brunello Montalcino, a perfectly structured Brunello. I finished dinner with the delicious Budino Di Cioccolato, which paired nicely with my Brunello. After such an exquisite dinner, I bravely faced the rain and high winds as I waited for my Uber. Verdict: Don’t let bad weather stop you from enjoying a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurants in the EB. Make that reservation; call your Uber or Lyft; and enjoy yourselves while supporting our fine restaurants.

    All of the dishes we ordered were delicious and well seasoned. It was a busy Sunday night but our waiter and the rest of the staff were very attentive and on top of all the details.

    Excellent food! This restaurant has improved considerably since the last time I was here before the pandemic. Cocktails were also top notch. I had a great Negroni!

    Via del Corso is reliably good every time. I love the first courses, the pasta, and the main courses. And the cocktails are original and delicious.

    The food was excellent as always. We couldn't talk very well because the noise level was so loud!
