    This was the second time my husband and I have dined at this restaurant. We made reservations and were sat at our table fairly quickly and on time with our reservation. Waiter was nice throughout the evening but did spill water on my husband later in the evening. He asked “did I get you” and my husband responded “it’s fine” and the waiter then walked away without apologizing. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, which was really good. We both ordered the tagliatelle Bolognese, which I was I had previously had. The pasta was over-cooked and wasn’t in whole pieces. It was ok, but not good by any means. I just figured out that they changed the pasta, but not the physical menu. The menu in the restaurant said tagliatelle but the menu online says Fettuccine alla Bolognese. I told my husband during our dinner that the pasta was definitely not tagliatelle and looked more like fettuccine (I was right). They need to update their physical menu in the restaurant. Overall, we spent around $170 with a bottle of wine. Not sure if I would go back. Food was better the last time.

    We love dining at Il Corso That said, our table service was far less than experienced during past visits, based on our waiter who had the personality of a thumbtack throughout the evening Seated outside, had to get up and come inside to ask our waiter for a second glass of wine Food and ambiance was great as always

    Seating was bad, completely out of the way as an afterthought. Could hardly hear the waiter food came out cold, both the appetizer and then all all two entrées expensive

    First time at this restaurant--had a very nice Christmas Eve dinner, sat outside. The Carpaccio was outstanding--best we've ever had. They also have a very tasty dip for the bread. Service was very quick, perhaps because we were a party of two at a four-top. Our meals came out well before those of others who were there before us and had many more people. We liked that! Anytime you can dine at a nice restaurant in less than an hour is ideal.
