Il Corso

We recently stumbled upon this charming little spot, looking for a quick pre-theater dinner, and were pleasantly surprised. We sampled the homemade pasta pomadoro and homemade pappardelle with lamb Ragu. Both were excellent. The side of broccoli rabe was prepared perfectly and very tasty. We finished with a homemade pistachio tart with a scoop of vanilla gelato. It was absolutely delicious. A great experience!

Walked in with very high expectations based on the reviews—and not only did the restaurant deliver, it exceeded every one of them. The space is cozy, the staff is amazing, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. We began with appetizers, and the zucchini fries were simply amazing. The fritto misto platter could have used a bit more calamari, but what was there was cooked to perfection. The pasta dishes were perfectly portioned, and the entrées were absolutely beautiful when they arrived—every dish was spot on. We had our hearts set on tiramisu for dessert, but unfortunately they had run out for the night. That aside, I truly don’t have much to suggest in terms of improvement—other than maybe a little more calamari. I’m already looking forward to coming back in the summer or w

Fantastic! We came here after the parade on Thanksgiving, and even on a busy day they didn’t miss a beat. This is the cutest little Italian restaurant. And our meal and service was perfection from start to finish. The worst part about dining here is trying to decide what to order on their amazing menu. They have so many great choices, and unique dishes that are different from other typical Italian restaurants. We truly enjoyed our experience here, and are looking forward to returning.

Gennaro and his incredible team continue to out perform themselves. This was my second time visiting NYC and of course, it would not be a trip without dining at Il Corso. Absolutely incredible experience, cocktails, and food is authentic and delicious. I truly cannot thank them enough for their wonderful hospitality. Looking forward to the next visit! Thank you!!

This restaurant is absolutely incredible! I had the best pasta of my life here - every bite was pure perfection. The flavors, the atmosphere, the attention to detail - everything was just outstanding. It truly deserves all the Michelin stars in the world. I can’t wait to come back!
