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.

Food was delicious and service very helpful. We would be somewhat reluctant to go again because of the noise level.

Great food, and amazing service. Was stuck in terrible traffic getting over the bay bridge (with narrowing window before a performance) and almost cancelled. When I called the restaurant, they not only accommodated our very late arrival, but they took our order over the phone so that the food would be ready shortly after our arrival. That is how a business builds loyalty. Bravo!
Had not been there in years, had held up well. Very lively ambiance, convivial, a bit noisy for my companion. Pasta dishes very good. Definitely will return with friends.
Silvio
Nice place to have a casual dinner with friends. Service, food and ambience are a plus. Parking is difficult but worth it.
Elaine
We had a great dinner experience. The cocktails as well as the food was excellent. The service was superb. The entire staff was extremely attentive and very kind.
Paul
The food is simply extraordinarily delicious, and perfectly prepared. Our waitress was also superb.

A small but excellently designed menu. Apps, Salads, pastas and entrees. Well thought out choices. This is not a typical Italian-pile of tomato pasta type of restaurant. Service was excellent. The server was familiar with the wines. The restaurant was busy, but the food came out timely. We have eaten here many times, and plan to return soon.
