Cortona's Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar

Had a really great experience here with my parents for their anniversary! The wait staff was very pleasant, knowledgeable on the meals and had great recommendations. You’d be a fool to not try the cheese wheel! Cocktails were all very good as well.

I highly recommend trying Cortana’s for dinner. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and they made for a wonderful experience for my parents 35th anniversary.

However, the short rib ravioli and the cheese wheel pasta left something to be desired. Both had very little flavor and the portions were lacking. The complimentary dessert was very strong almond flavor which was off putting. I would’ve preferred a normal chocolate and vanilla cake. (Also, no heads up there was almond in the dessert - my brother is very allergic. Thankfully he didn’t try it)

I love Italian food and I eat it 70% of the time at home. The beef ragu was amazing at Cortana’s and I’ll get it next time I go.

The restaurant has some delicious food and is worth trying!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cortona’s Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar – Fortville, IN
Birthday Night to Remember!

Took my sister out to Cortona’s for her birthday after seeing their viral TikTok—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! This is the only place in Indiana doing the famous cheese wheel pasta tableside, and let me tell you… it’s a full-on experience.

The vibe is warm, intimate, and dare I say… a little sexy 👀. Perfect for a romantic date night or a cozy dinner with close friends. From the appetizers to the wine and that unforgettable cheese wheel pasta with vodka sauce—everything was buenísimo from start to finish.

The owner and his wife were incredibly welcoming, and we even snagged a photo with him right before he whipped up our dish tableside. Big shoutout to Caesar for the 5-star service—friendly, attentive, and truly added to the whole experience.

If you’re anywhere near Fortville, do yourself a favor and check this hidden gem out.

Cocktails were weak and made in a manner that no other restaurant or bar has ever made them. Food was just ok. They charged for table items and didn't let us know to give us a choice to decline or accept. Just not the culinary experience we were hoping for...

One of the best restaurant experiences I've had. Pastas are fresh made, perfectly balanced sauces, wonderfully intimate ambiance, and fantastic service. Cesar was very attentive and made great suggestions. I had the Tuscan ragu and husband had the gorgonzola gnocchi. Both pastas had the perfect texture and flavor. For dessert, I had the cannoli and hubby got the tiramisu. Again, the textures were on point and flavor was superb. Honestly can't praise this place enough. We were there early but if planning on a regular dinner hour, I would suggest reservations as it's not a large place. There is street parking but there is also a public parking lot within walking distance.
