Had a great meal and the service was very attentive and friendly. The owner was a very friendly gentleman. Had a nice chat with him. Would come back again when we are in the area.

A nice gathering: pre-birthday and hanging with an old friend...welcomed by the Via del Corso staff followed by a fun back and forth on wine choices...first courses and olives were outstanding! The dinner courses were great as always, the dinner special of sausage, peppers served over polenta was a treat! Our dessert was a special request: chocolate sorbet with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and toasted nuts topped with a birthday candle! Ching-Ching!
Marina
Fabulous meal and outstanding service from Emma. She's wonderful!! The sausage and polenta entree and the pork chop entree were both star dishes!!
Eileen
Loved dining at Corso after EVERY Berkeley Rep play ( really anytime). Really great food, service, and AWESOME Martinis!!!
Don
For great traditional Italian cuisine along with a fantastic atmosphere and excellent service, you have to to Vial Del Corsica!

I hadn’t dined this well in a long time! We had a celebration of autumn ingredients with delicious squash and mushrooms. Squash tortelli was incredible, with the homemade apple mostarda for a unique and authentic flavor. Mushroom tagliatelle was just perfect, both the pasta itself and the sauce were superb. We also had the steak which was also perfect, and the fresh arugula and Parmesan side made it delightful. Excellent wine list, classy service and elegant atmosphere. Perfect place for a special dinner.

The creative menu, excellent service and welcoming vibe make this restaurant one of our all time favorites. Via del Corso never disappoints!!!

Except for street noise, I would rate this experience as quiet as we ate in the outdoor seating- which is VERY comfortable. The service is excellent and everything we selected was great- the charcuterie plate was great to share for 3-4 people, easily. The pasta dishes are perfection, properly cooked.

I had the spinach salad and butter baked chicken. Delicious! Justin makes a dynamite martini!
Small menu, ravioli was a small portion (only 5 raviolis.) Most items didn't have tomato sauce, which was unusual. We are from LA and the food in Berkeley near UC has not held a candle to the restaurant market where we live. The server was very kind and we had a nice evening, but the food was just OK to me.

A great venue for a casual catch-up with a friend. Delectable cuisine. attentive service, and a warm welcoming environment made it a fun evening. The only minor drawback was the mouse level, which made it hard to hear my dining partner at times.

Corso is our favorite restaurant and we bring newbies there all the time. Once again, they didn't disappoint. Service was great and the food was delicious. Our only complaint is that they didn't have Branzino - our favorite of all dishes!

We haven't been to Corso in a while and used to really like it. We were a little disappointed with our most recent experience. The service was really slow, particularly between our first drinks and our entrees coming out. The wild boar ragu was under seasoned and we weren't able to get Parmesan for the dish until we were more than halfway done. The pumpkin tortelli was good but the portion was laughably small for the price. The ambiance was nice, but the value wasn't there.

One of our favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. Dishes are consistently excellent. The waitstaff is top notch, knowledgeable, attentive, with warm engaging personalities. Positive energy and conversations fill the dining room. And the cocktails are masterfully made.
