    Great food and a great place to take your family. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. The owner came to check on us several times through out the night. We got the cheese wheel pasta which was awesome to see made table side. I highly recommend recommend the pasta al fumo and the Limoncello Mascarpone Cake!

    Great selection of authentic Italian cuisine. Cheese wheel with veal is one of my favorites. My wife enjoyed the veal scallopini Marsala mortadella e fontina which was very flavorful. We shared a special bread pudding desert which was excellent. Good wine lists. Would highly recommend Cortona’s!

    WOW!!! What an amazing Italian restaurant! Great ambiance, attentive service, amazing & delicious menu selections!! They have a huge Parmesan wheel that they bring to your table and set ablaze to make an Alfredo sauce to go with freshly made pasta. This place is well worth the drive. We will definitely be back again and again!!

    I crave the cheese wheel and always look forward to our visit to Cortona's!!! The Ribeye weekend special was sooo good as well. I would definitely suggest saving room for any of their desserts. Can't wait for our next visit!!!
