    I can’t believe I have waited so long to experience Cortona’s. The wine list, menu items and Dinner Specials were excellent. The cheese wheel was a great entree. Service was excellent and the owner came by more than once to make sure we were taken care of. I won’t wait so long for my next real Italian experience.

    We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary there last evening. The service was wonderful and the food was great. Nice cozy little corner just for us, including a personal Happy Anniversary sign. After we got home, we realized that the dessert we ordered to share was on the house. No one brought attention to this. Impressed by the relaxed atmosphere and attention to detail . Thank you for a special night. Can’t wait to come back.

    I ordered the ribeye steak and it was cold, rare and a very small portion for the price.

    A++. One of the best meals I've ever had. Authentic Italian meaning the pasta is delicious and has a great texture; the sauces burst with flavor. We had the cheese wheel and the Chicken Parmesan. Excellent on both counts. We split a salad and still had plenty. We split a dessert (Tiramisu) but I wish we both would've had our own as it was so good. We will be back. Great place for a birthday or special occasion. Anytime really.

    We had a lovely experience and a very attentive server. We had an early reservation for a Friday (5:45) and when we arrived it was very quiet. By the time we finished our meal the room was full but the noise level was totally acceptable. The food was very good and we had amazing service. It was our first time there and we will definitely go back! There were so many things on the menu that interested me - it was hard to choose!

    I had a wonderful experience at Cortonas’s. It is truly authentic Italian food! Every dish was full of flavor and we enjoyed a nice bottle of the Syrah from Cortona, Italy!
