    This was my second visit and I was disappointed. My friend was vegetarian and there was only one dish on the menu that didn’t contain meat. There was a pasta that was mostly vegetarian but contained anchovies and we asked if it could be made without them and we were told no. The chef wouldn’t accommodate us. One of us ordered pasta that was not completely cooked and another ordered the fish which came with lots of little bones. No mention was made on the menu that it wasn’t deboned. All in all, disappointing. My last visit was much better.

    We had a great night! Our service was attentive and informative on our wine pairing for the evening! He even remembered our note that we made on the reservation! The food was delicious! We would definitely come back again.

    We arrived about 5 minutes early, but our table for four was ready. Service throughout the evening was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant is luvely, but not so loud as to prohibit conversation. Cocktails (Manhattan, EVOO martini, negroni up, negroni over) were excellent. The latuga salad was fresh, light, and tasty. Two of us had the prawn piatto del giorno, one had the cod, and the other had the pork chop. All were delicious and well prepared. We couldn't help but opt for dessert: affogato, cherry Gelato, poached pear, and cannoli. Again, all excellent. I highly recommend Via del Corso.

    Outstanding as always. I had the short rib ravioli and the chickory salad. Both were delicious. And, the Cicero - a truly inspired cocktail. Service is great. But is can get noisy.

    Always a nice experience. Price is too high for the cuisine. No tablecloths here. Tablecloths always point to a quality experience. The beet raviolis were great. Bread was just Okay. Taglioni okay but better to use a better noodle. Lattuga was very good. Affettiati could be greatly improved if it were served with a melon or grapes to balance the dish. We will return.

    Dining here is always a great experience. While the food is terrific, it is especially wonderful to consistently receive excellent service from the friendly and professional staff. I appreciate that the menu has modest changes from time to time, so that it doesn't become stale. But they stick to a core selection, so I can relay on finding something I love.

    I’ve written over and over again about how great the food is. Tonight I’ll tell you that I’m very impressed with the staff as well. The woman at the front desk was charming and handled the big rush with skill and charm.
