    We enjoyed our traditional anniversary dinner again this year. The food was good but not as great as in the past. Nevertheless, we love this restaurant and will be back!

    Always a great place for dinner. Never had a bad experience at Corso. Always seated next to friendly people who always say hello and engage in conversation until it’s time to eat!

    Via Del Corso is a delightful experience in all respects. Great trattoria food on a menu that is constantly changing with the availability of seasonal ingredients and the art & imagination of Peter Chastain, chef-owner. The service is always warm and the advice is reliable and helpful in understanding the menu choices. The wine list is fantastic with bottles and glasses that are exemplary at each price point. Also, for those who do not want a full bottle, they offer a carafe of many of the wines which is a nice option. The desserts are delicious and decadent. All in all, great food, service, and value. We go often, and as with all good Italian places, the first time they meet you they are friendly, the second time they remember you, and the third time you are a part of the extended family. A remarkable place.

    Corso offers reliably delicious pastas. We share the filled half moons and the crab. Both excellent. Service was great. It is extremely noisy. Isabella offers a gracious welcome.

    The food, as always, was outstanding, the cocktails stellar, the service, warm, friendly, prompt and responsive. You're always made to feel welcome and part of the family here. It was a delight to sit at the Chef's counter and watch the action, in particular the wonderful Jaime! The crab pasta we had Saturday night was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, anywhere. We're so lucky to have Via del Corso in the Bay Area.

    Not up to usual standards. Off night? Or slipping?
