The food was outstanding as well as the cocktails. Our waitress was very good. We always enjoy our “trip to Italy” when we eat there.

Had a great time as usual. Had the pleasure of meeting the owners this visit. They were both so kind and welcoming. Great wine suggestions and the food is on point every time we dine in. Love this place. 10 out of 10...i recommend!

We always have an amazing experience at Cortona's. The food never disappoints. The staff is always very attentive and full of suggestions. We look forward to our next visit.

Promptly greeted with a friendly tone. Seated at table in bar, which was cozy and initmate, but a tad dark for the elders of us who need more light to read & see. Service from the bar was very good tending to us. We very much enjoyed the Polenta with Ragu and Gorgonzola ($16), as it was an excellent combination of texture and flavor. Although, it would have been nice to have some table bread (which they apparently do not offer) to collect the extra Ragu and Gorgonzola sauces from the plate. My wife's Verlasso Salmon ($27) was subpar for her. She liked the salmon, but the potatoes and asparagus were cold and under-seasoned. She was actually hoping for a more vegetable-based pasta option, but the online menu option she was considering was not on the menu in the restaurant. Taking a recommendation from the hostess, my Pistacchio Lime Sauce & Shrimp Spaghetti ($25) was a hot, creamy, and tasty. I was not considering it originally, but very much enjoyed it. Overall, liked the setting in spite of being overly dark and liked most of our food. The challenge is that there are other Italian restaurants closer to us that offer consistently very good food and similar or even lower prices.

The Pork Parmesan was absolutely amazing! Perfectly balanced flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. It's a must-try for anyone visiting Cortona's , hands down, some of the best food I've had recently! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors in the pork were unforgettable. Highly recommended for food enthusiasts!!

It's pretty unassuming from the outside, but it's very cozy when you get inside. We liked our server and she was very attentive throughout the meal. The cocktails were enjoyed by all of us. I would not order the bruschetta again. I think the presentation could be greatly improved. The bread was limp and it felt very flimsy, and the toppings seemed skimpy compared to photos I've seen of this appetizer... it just looked like it was made in a hurry and we're running out of ingredients. We did like the toppings though. Everyone enjoyed their entrées immensely. We had visitors from out of country as our guests, and they said it was the best chicken Parmesan they had ever had. We also had lobster lemon ravioli, pistachio lime sauce spaghetti, and Chalene's spaghetti. The portions were large and everybody was happy.  we all said we would order those entrées again. We ordered three different desserts to share. The tiramisu is definitely not worth it at all. It was ruined by a dressing of chocolate syrup and the portion was very small. The lemon ricotta cake was tasty but on the dry side. The crème brûlée was really delicious... everybody enjoyed it, and it was a decent size. I would order the crème brûlée again.  Overall, we really enjoyed our evening and for the experience and quality of the entrées especially, the bill of $250, including 4 cocktails and tip, was reasonable for four people.

This is one of our new favorites! The food was amazing. The wine we chose was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly. They really make you feel at home. We will be going back!

Truly authentic food worth the drive to Fortville. We probably have not had Italian food any better than this in the Indy area. Highly recommended
Excellent. We had not visited Cortona for a while. However, we were reminded why we like it so much. Great food. Great service. Very friendly. The rigatoni special was superb. We will not stay away again for so long.

The closest thing to authentic Italian in the whole state. Shaved truffle wheel pasta...cmon now. Thank you for a wonderful birthday celebration.

Second time eating at Corona's - this time with a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. Service was good, food quality was high and we had an overall enjoyable experience. It was pretty loud in the small dining area that we were seated in. Wine by the glass and cocktail prices a bit high for what you get. Planning on going back with a group of 6 in a couple of weeks.
Cynthia
We sat outside and received excellent service. We had one server but even servers from other tables made certain that we were never without water. The manager and staff were very attentive. Pasta was perfect and portion sizes, just the right amount.

Hidden Gem! Pasta is made fresh and the sauce was made inside of a wheel of aged cheese! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and collaborative. Everything was delicious!
