    Il Corso is always consistently great. We love the atmosphere in the bar. We had the Chicken Marsala and the pasta with mushrooms and sausage and both were delicious. It’s a local restaurant group and they do a great job with service.

    The food, ambience and service was beyond my expectations. I had the Risotto Pescatore and it was delicious, just enough seafood that it didn’t overwhelm the delicious tomatoe based sauce and rice. The service was excellent and they did a great job surprising my friend with a complimentary birthday dessert.

    Food was outstanding, service was marginal. We had to get up from the table twice to find our waiter. No enthusiasm, no smile from the waiter.

    Our server was amazing. Three of our party of 5 are vegetarian or vegan. Our server described how the chef could prepare a couple of different dishes to accommodate us. The food was so tasty! We will definitely return.

    Very nice dining experience. Good food, very good service, nice room, and for as busy as it was, the noise level was very manageable. Very reasonable prices, too. We thoroughly enjoyed it

    Enjoyed our evening, great variety choices on the menu for our entire group. Prices were reasonable. All five of us were happy with our choices, food was served hot and in a timely fashion. Servers were all pleasant. Nice atmosphere and it was nice to be indoors as it was a cool night, on a warm evening they offer a nice outdoor patio. They also had a great wine list.

    Food was excellent, the restaurant is beautiful but the best is the service - we sat at the bar and bartender Eduardo was outstanding. I wish we had his service in south Orange County !

    Risotto was not what risotto should be. Panna cotta was gummy and overall not edible.

    Food was good but service stumbled throughout the evening. Had to send back two Cosmos as they were undrinkable due to acidity from too much lime juice. First courses were served incorrectly, Server combined a glass of wine with other person’s wine rather than serve the person who ordered it. (Wrong) Waiter was very very hard to understand. And to finish it off, the wrong bill was presented at the end and the person paying didn’t notice it. (The total amount seemed right to her.). Several minutes later waiter returned and said he needed more cash because the right bill was a bit higher. Just sloppy all around. For the money involved the restaurant needs to up the level of service/staff. We are year round locals who have frequented the restaurant numerous times with visitors. There was confused service each time. This may the last visit for us. Sad, because the place is beautiful, but a $350 bill plus tip deserves a more elevated dining experience.
