My first visit to this family-run Italian restaurant was pleasant overall — warm service and flavorful dishes, though the chicken francaise portions were extremely small - two tiny thin tenders… and one appetizer seemed off. We were very surprised that our braciole didn’t come with pasta :( I hope they rethink that choice...
I’ll certainly return for a second visit, as I always like to give local places another chance.

Can’t beat the food here. Everything is fresh and they were very willing to customize (two of us ordered chicken parm with vodka sauce instead of red sauce and they enthusiastically accommodated our request). Our party of 6 got our appetizers and bread quickly. Staff were very nice and attentive and were not pushy at all even though our visit was late (last reservation before closing time). We took a slice of chocolate cake to go and that was delicious even after the ride home. One of our top Italian spots.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The portions were generous. We talked today about going back as soon as possible to try their other dishes.

Ate at Cornell’s yesterday and this was my second time there in a few months. Outstanding service, very attentive staff - food was absolutely outstanding. This time I sat at the bar and the bartender was warm and engaging and helped finalize our meal choices. A plus was the “special “ appetizer at an unbelievable price and they were better than many specialty places. We will continue to return and enjoy quality food, great atmosphere, fantastic staff and prices from the old world.

Great food and a very nice atmosphere. Hostess and waitress were both super friendly; will gladly return!
The service was incredible, the food was unforgettable, and the price point was very fair. Despite being overwhelmed with several tables at once, and training a new hire, our server was poised, graceful, and prompt, and was kind enough to offer suggestions for entrees and wine pairings. It was evident that her section was extremely busy, and we were politely notified that the kitchen was short-staffed that Friday evening. But we never would have guessed as the service was outstanding and the food arrived within a reasonable time. Thank you to our beautiful server whose name I regrettably cannot recall (dark hair, crow tattoo, drop-dead gorgeous) and to the kitchen for making our night exceptionally enjoyable.

Went for Mothers Day Dinner. 5 in our party. There was a snafu with our reservation, but we were assured we’d be taken care of and we were if a short amount of time. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed. The highlight of the evening however was our server Donna. She was pleasant and made sure our evening was extra special. She really did go above and beyond to take care of us. Thank you Donna!
