Major construction outside but posted as open! The vibes in this cute little Italian restaurant were on point. Everyone knows about the martini special here and the bartender David is 10/10 super fast and super attentive. Warm greetings from the host and very pretty restaurant to sit in. Chicken parm was crispy, melty fresh mozzarella, totally perfect. Thank you Chef! I will be back. Come with me!!!!

I had a disappointing experience in this restaurant. We drove one hour for their all-you can eat brunch experience. The website stated that the brunch is served until 3 pm. We arrived at 2:05 pm and was told that we can not have the all you can eat brunch anymore because they only serve it until 2pm. When I mentioned this to the server, he just brushed it off with “ yes the kitchen made that decision”. Then please correct this on your website. Otherwise the food was okay, but a small portion. And what Italian restaurant doesn’t serve BREAD?

Corso is a gem for homemade pasta lovers! The service was great and the food was delicious. I ordered the pesto pasta and it did not disappoint.
The one thing I'd love to see improved is the bar area. The happy hour specials are a fantastic draw, but the space is on the smaller side, and when it fills up, there's nowhere to wait or grab a table nearby. I've found myself heading to another restaurant on those occasions simply because there wasn't room — which is a shame because this place is worth the visit.
Hopefully they consider expanding the bar or adding a few tables that would fall under HH specials. I'll keep coming back in the meantime!

Had an hour to kill while in Arlington today so I searched for a good happy hour and this place popped up. Italian is one of my favorite type of cuisines so I was excited to try their happy hour.
They have a apertivo hour from 3-7 at the bar which includes food and drink. They actually have $5 bar bites which is unheard of these days. The bar is small with limited seating so plan accordingly. I arrived early and was able to secure a seat.
The space is small and intimate and had very cute decorations for Valentine's Day. It was quiet and is definitely a great spot for date night.
They have a great pasta menu as well do I decided to take some oxtail ravioli to go. Will let you know how it is!
Oops! I also ordered the muscle and clams and arancini for happy hour and somehow forgot to take pictures.

Well, it was a very impromptu visit, but glad I did. Jose was an excellent server, the brunch was delicious, mimosas were mimosa-ing, and the weather was phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend!

Loved the spaghetti and meatballs. I look forward to going back to try additional items off the menu!

Sorry mom, but this may have been the best pasta I've had in my life. I was very impressed with our meal here and I recommend this restaurant to everyone.
You can absolutely tell that the pasta is homemade. It was perfectly cooked and the portion sizes were just right. We came on a Monday and the pasta dishes were $15 with the Macaroni Monday deal. We ordered the chicken Alfredo and campenelle. Both were out of this world.
This place is a perfect date night. Cannot recommend it enough. They also have a small market inside that sells the homemade pasta, cheese, wines, and more.
Wonderful food and amazing staff, our server was everything you could ask for when going out to eat, extremely kind and efficient! My only complaint was the entire evening there was an elderly gentleman that wouldn’t stop throwing temper tantrums and complaining about everything in the restaurant. Which was ironic because tables around us had very small children that were acting much more mature than this elderly man. I know that’s not the restaurants fault but I wish they could just kick those types of people out. If somebody wants complete quiet I suggest they stay home because something tells me they’re children don’t visit much so it should be plenty quiet. Instead of going out and ruining everyone’s evening and harassing a wonderful staff just because you need a changed Depends.

The food was good, servers were very friendly and accommodating. We ran into some friends randomly who joined us for dinner and we had a lovely time except for this table nearby which wouldn’t stop complaining about everything including the noise level of other tables talking. It was a lively environment and a little on the noisy side but it’s not a huge restaurant. For those looking for a very quiet old experience maybe they would be better off at a Prime Rib steakhouse (Stewie).

This was the worst dining experience I’ve had in years. The presentation looked promising, but the food and drinks were shockingly poor for a place that charges around $300. Under-seasoned, bland, and overpriced. To make matters worse, the children at nearby tables were loud and disruptive, and the service was painfully slow. I’m beyond disappointed and will not be returning.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Corso Italian. The food was delicious, the wine and cocktail list was perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail and wine pairing for our meals, and our incredible server, Scott, helped make it a perfect date night. We will absolutely be back for many more meals. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
