    Wow. There was a change of management and the new restaurant is outstanding and now will become one of our go tos. Fantastic service, creative and delicious entrees, and hopping spot! Our server was spot on, and the choreography of the other servers were as good! We'll certainly be returning soon!

    Wonderful meal with my wife and cousins last night. Everyone had something different, and each were delicious. Paired well with the Amarone and Barolo we brought (corkage fee was reasonable!). We shared two deserts with both thoroughly enjoyable. Owner came out to talk with us (I know he too loves a good old Barolo). Will definitely go back.

    Justin the bartender is such a pro! Love eating at the bar. If Corso were in my Peninsula neighborhood we'd be regulars.

    As usual, the food was excellent at Corso! We were a group of three and had a great time, the Waiter made some very good recommendations. Only sadness was that one of my friends really wanted Branzino but we had just missed it by days as they rotated off the menu.
