Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Corso Italian shines with "exceptional Italian food and service." Guests love the "amazing all-you-can-eat brunch" featuring small plates that "allow sampling of the full menu." The pasta, especially the "rigatoni bolognese," is a favorite. While noise levels can vary, the overall ambiance and attentive service make it a "neighborhood gem."

This is a relatively new spot and we can hope that it will improve. It had been recommended so maybe our expectations were too high. We had a mediocre experience. Extremely sloppy service, including misrepresenting ingredients in a "special" dish that meant some at the table couldn't eat it. Courses served out of order and we had to remind them about one dish that didn't appear. The Corso menu isn't cheap, which made the whole experience even more distressing. It's an attractive place in a convenient location. Maybe this was just an off night. In any case, we won't be rushing back. There are lots of other places in Shirlington that I we know are good, including Osteria da Nino, which is right around the corner.

Food was very good as were cocktails and wine selection. Service was sporadic despite letting our server know at the beginning that we had tickets for Signature.

Hi there, Dona. I'm so sorry that our service was off on Sunday night, which was definitely an "off" night for us at Corso. I would appreciate the opportunity to make it right and I'll reach out to you directly to do so. Thank you so much, Jill Erber (owner, Corso Italian)

I wish I could comment on the food, but after waiting an hour with nothing being brought to our table, we decided to just leave.

Hi there, Max. I'm feel terrible about your experience on Saturday night. It was one issue after another in terms of providing you prompt service and I'm so very sorry. I would appreciate an opportunity to make this right - I will message you directly. All the best, Jill Erber (owner, Corso Italian)

We had a great dinner with my parents. The noise level was perfect to have a conversation and visit. The food was fantastic, everyone found something they wanted and were very happy with their choices. Unknowingly, we had visited on their Monday night pasta special, which just sweetened our experience! Would recommend and we have already made reservations to return next month.
