Great spot. Fresh pasta. Wild boar was excellent. Ample serving size. Fair price for quality and location/style.

Just ok…nothing special at all. Tried 3 dishes and each one was an average 5-6 out of ten. Classic cheap restaurant technique of cooking proteins earlier and then reheating…was cold on the plate. Wouldn’t go back

This was one of our worst dining experiences ever. We were seated around the bar area served by a young, inexperienced bartender. The sourdough toast accompanying the bland starter arrived blackened. I mentioned that it looked burnt (it definitely was) and the reply: “this is how we cook our toast to make it crispy”! Both starters and main courses were very much below average and disappointing. My husband and I dine out frequently but will definitely not be returning to this overpriced, inadequately staffed restaurant.

Truly exceptional fresh pasta in a beautiful dining room. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The view over the river is beautiful. My wife and I went for her birthday last December and are making a tradition of it - this time we’ll come with a group of friends.
It is some of the best pasta I have had in the US and the presentation is impeccable.
Book a reservation far in advance!

Don’t even try food here if you have any food allergies. Even after telling about allergies multiple times, when the server got the food he said the allergies was not written on the note and he went and checked with chef and said food is good to eat. After one bite, my daughter ended up in emergency after taking 3 epipens. Don’t trust the food here if you have allergies

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!
