Just came back from my first dinner at the highly-acclaimed (and correspondingly high-priced) I'll Cornicello Italian restaurant. But in typical fashion, the actual experience did not meet expectations. We were seated in an east-facing table where the bright lights from the adjacent restaurant and on-coming traffic shined directly into my eyes. As for the entrees - the homemade pasta in the Papparedelle con Genoese Napoletana was thick and undercooked, which ruined the whole dish. My husband's Bucatini con Pollo was bland and the sauce was thick annd gooey. I can't remember the last time I sent a dish back, as I usually eat & love just about everything. But I sent my dish back tonight. It was not good, which is too bad since the atmosphere was descent (except for the blinding lights) and the service was quite good

Only because I had my service animal, a small, well-behaved terrier-size gentle puppy they kicked me out when I went there after a long day of work and was anticipating going back to work. A moment of relaxation ruined by this place and it's attitude

Pretty disappointed after our latest trip here. We came a couple years ago and the food was outstanding. The owners changed recently and the menu options were very limited. The only vegetarian options were pasta with butter or pasta with marinara. The music was horrible and way too loud. This was our last trip here.

Freshest pasta using local produce for the most amazing experience. Unique drinks and a beautiful view of the Exeter river.

Went last night Saturday. Sat at the bar in the basement with my wife. Everything was great. They made me the wrong pasta dish but that was no big deal. The chef put a rush on making the right one, and brought it out to me and apologized, and took it off the bill. Unexpected and very much appreciated.

The food was great. The staff in the cellar restaurant are awesome. The staff upstairs has no idea of what is available downstairs. It’s like you are visiting a different restaurant.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations. The Owner is on site and very attentive. The food was excellent, of ample portions and professionally served. While we missed the ever present heron in the river, we'll be coming back to see her!

Incredibly flavorful meals.
You can see the chefs literally building pasta from scratch upstairs.
Head to the bar downstairs and have Miranda, Maggie, or Michelle make you a stiff but delicious drink.
I'll make the 35 mile drive just to come here.
Parking is difficult, but juice is worth the squeeze.
Excellent food and friendly service. The pasta was perfect and the cocktail was deliciously refreshing!

The food was fantastic, incorporating super fresh ingredients in thoughtful and delicious flavor combinations. I love that we were able to watch the pasta being made from scratch through one of the front windows. The service was cheerful and efficient. A very satisfying experience all around.
