Corso offers reliably delicious pastas. We share the filled half moons and the crab. Both excellent. Service was great. It is extremely noisy. Isabella offers a gracious welcome.

The food, service and experience was simply excellent from start to finish. We had such a lovely time on Xmas eve. The crab pasta was fantastic as was the pork chop. Our dessert (the flour-less chocolate cake) was the perfect culmination of tastes. There is a reason that this restaurant continues to impress year after year.

The kitchen hit three home runs last night - each item we ordered was spectacular. We had the crostone with tuna and beans (ordinary ingredients transformed), tagliolini al Granchio (crab and perfectly done pasta in a heavenly sauce), and the pork chop, which was (as always) incredibly delicious. We've had plenty of delicious meals at Via del Corso, but this one was a standout. Can hardly wait to return!
