il Corso

Right from the beginning, our experience at Il Corso on El Paseo was unforgettable. The service was continuous and attentive throughout the evening. Our waiter, Marcos, was excellent—he gave thoughtful recommendations and introduced the restaurant manager that shared his wine expertise. The food was authentic and delicious—we had the carbonara and fish ravioli for our mains, both outstanding. The carpaccio was another highlight, and we ended with a trio of desserts: tiramisu, cannoli, and a decadent hazelnut chocolate cake. We were also impressed to learn that the chef is from Italy, which really shows in the flavors and authenticity of the dishes. We’d happily return and look forward to bringing friends and family to share this wonderful Italian dining experience.

Wow! What a great Italian restaurant with great food, service and location! From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were treated with kindness and respect until the end. Our waiter attended to us very well, which we truly appreciated. The food is absolutely excellent and perfect! Our table absolutely loved their items, whether it be the steak, grilled chicken or the pasta; everything was perfect! The food was so great that we also ordered desserts, which we never do! I ordered the berry panna cotta, which was delicious. The ice creams were also tasty. Overall, we were impressed, pleased and extremely satisfied with everything. As such, I absolutely recommend this restaurant!!

Amazing experience altogether. I asked for a lobster dish and they recommended me the surf and turf. Absolutely awesome with such tender steak! And for the desert part make sure you try the chocolate cake with ice cream you won’t regret it :)

Unfortunately, our recent visit to Il Corso left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant not being busy, we waited 10 minutes before any staff member acknowledged us, even having to call someone over while the team stood around chatting among themselves. When our pasta finally arrived, it was stuck together and undercooked - clearly not up to the restaurant's usual standards. To their credit, they did take the dishes back and brought us new ones, but the damage to our dining experience was already done. I suspect this might be an end-of-season issue with their regular team possibly being out and less experienced staff handling the kitchen. While the staff were friendly enough, there was a general sense of indifference and fatigue - they seemed tired and uninterested in providing genui

We recently dined at Il Corso and had a lovely experience. The restaurant wasn’t too busy, creating a relaxed atmosphere. We tried the octopus carpaccio, which was delicious, and enjoyed a couple of drinks. The staff were very friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. We would definitely go back!
