    We had a reservation and it was a busy night. So I can understand that it was a bit chaotic. However the service was great, they were very polite and gracious. The calamari was delicious as well as the bread and pesto pasta. The cocktails were a bit strong, the Bambina was not the best. Overall, I will be coming back to try out their pizza since I did notice it was definitely a top ordered item.

    We thoroughly enjoyed a romantic and delicious Valentine's Day 6-course chef's dinner at Cori last night. The service was exceptional -- all staff were friendly and professional. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the black truffle lobster risotto was especially memorable. Excellent Italian wine selection from every region of Italy.
