The kitchen hit three home runs last night - each item we ordered was spectacular. We had the crostone with tuna and beans (ordinary ingredients transformed), tagliolini al Granchio (crab and perfectly done pasta in a heavenly sauce), and the pork chop, which was (as always) incredibly delicious. We've had plenty of delicious meals at Via del Corso, but this one was a standout. Can hardly wait to return!

Via del Corso has become a favorite spot of ours over the past few years; first as we visited Berkeley, and now as we’ve become residents. One of our top choices when hosting out of town guests. The restaurant delivers a consistent dining experience with a menu reflecting the freshest of ingredients available. You will always find reliable standbys, such as Mary’s Chicken Breast, on the menu. In addition, a fine selection of house-made pastas, meat and fish entrees; not to mention vegetarian options. As we often do, my wife and I sat at the chef’s counter, allowing us to observe the meal preparation. Tonight we went with the swordfish entree, which was excellent. We never hesitate to quiz our server about their recommendations; they tend to be spot-on. It is refreshing to find a restaurant that has earned a reputation for treating their staff well; obvious by the very low turnover amongst the chefs and servers. We’ll return again and again!

Intolerable noise. Very difficult to find parking. Otherwise the service and food were superb! Very speedy, knowledgeable & efficient wait staff. Please do something about the noise - it’s painful. Tablecloths to dampen sound?

Always excellent. The evening's signature Cocktail Special was very tasty. I had never ordered the Mezzeluna but it was fabulous -- tender pasta shells in a gorgeous sauce. Frances, my server, took excellent care of me, as did the other attentive souls who carried plates and glasses to and away. Lovely!
