Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared and delicious. The pork chop was one of the best ever. Staff were friendly and efficient. Loved it.

I can't believe that I just discovered this restaurant. The food was impeccable, interesting, seasonal and super delicious. Wine and cocktails were perfect too. The service was just right for us.

Hands down best service and best restaurant in Nor Cal. Never had a bad meal. Favorite place. Period.

Overall experience was wonderful. The chef, severs and wait staff were great, and the food was amazing. Pork chop and asparagus and short rib ravioli dishes were so good. The dessert was a great way to end the meal.

We love visiting Corso. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming (and tolerant of our kids). The food is delicious, and the service impeccable!

This has become our new go to Berkeley restaurant before a play at Berkeley Rep. Tonight continued to impress. The changing seasonal menu creates a nice variety, while maintaining some standards. The staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. We look forward to our next visit at the end of May! My husband said the rack of lamb was some of the best lamb he's ever had! They also make some mean cocktails - Manhattan's being our standard. The ravioli di carne with braised short ribs, butter and sage was wonderful and not the traditional shape, but rather folded into a triangle and was delightfully al dente.

We hadn't been for a while, and that was a mistake, b/c Corso is better than ever. The place was lively/jumping, but our server was spot-on -- actually thought about his wine recommendation based on what we were ordering, and then came up w/the best Sicilian, as we are going there next week! Everything was delicious and the prices are reasonable. It's a gem, and we're glad it's still going strong.

Great food, nice service and warm, informal ambiance. We had a very good dinner. Chef Massimo prepares dishes with an authentic Italian foundation. Very recommended when in Berkeley.

Another excellent dinner here. Shared the beet salad and the tuna appetizers, which were both great. The lamb special was done just right. This has become my go-to restaurant for visitors.

Our dining experience at Via del Corso was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The meal started with an array of delectable appetizers that set the tone for what was to come. The steak was cooked to perfection, the pork chops were tender and full of flavor, and the seafood pasta was simply outstanding—each dish a masterpiece in its own right. To top it all off, the chocolate dessert was the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal.

What truly elevated our evening, however, was our server, Emma. Her attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and friendly demeanor made the experience even more memorable. Emma went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for better service.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers on both food and hospitality, Via del Corso is a must-visit!

Considering there was some type of pistachio or cashew used in the dish (only know because of allergic reaction), without them advising of nuts being added, it led to a medical emergency. Had eaten here before with no issues but obviously will not return based on this event.

Dietary restrictions: If nuts are used in the dish it should be noted on the menu. Normally Italian dishes will not have pistachio or cashew with a steak. This caused a serious medical incident.
