    Very pleasant atmosphere, not too loud. Pasta dishes were wonderful, fritto misto platter was also quite good and very generously sized. Wine list featured many Italian selections.

    Delicious! Just two nights in NYC and wanted to make the most of it. We always do our research and seek out great food in advance. Il Corso did not disappoint. Great service, food and wine. A nice ambiance with intimate, dimly lit dining, always a plus. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

    Last night was our 1st time dining @ Il Corso. Everything was fabulous! We were greeted by the hostess Nakia (?) who gave us the perfect table as I had requested “somewhere quiet”. Eduardo our waiter was excellent… explaining the menu, checking on us periodically but not intrusive. We both loved everything we ordered.. amazing food! Will definitely be returning! Thank you!
