    Our service was good, efficient but not real friendly. I was disappointed they removed veal parmigiana from the menu and would not let me special order it. The Caeser salad was good, very cold, but lacking in prosciutto. The lasagna was boring, not much meat or spice. My wife's Cioppino was very good. We had a nice table in the corner. When the restaurant is full, it is quite noisy.

    We had a nice experience at Il Corso. The tagliette Bolognese was awesome, so much flavour and a good sized meal. The calamari was also good, and our server was exceptional. The one meal, the chicken parm, was a bit flat, however the linguine Vongole and the tiramisu made up for it. We will be back.

    The food was okay. The price was reasonable. We loved the lightly fried calamari. The waiter took forever for everything, even with giving us the bill and returning our card to leave. I had really high expectations for this restaurant. The food wasn’t bad, but I wont be returning.

    It was so busy that the team couldn’t keep up with the crowd. But the food was good and the bartenders were excellent. I liked the way the food arrived via rolling carts. The server team is surely aware of how busy it is, but they chat at tables rather than excuse themselves to complete service at other tables. Frustrating to be sure. Attractive enough space. Recommend asking them for an order of garlic bread - not on the menu but excellent
