Founded in 1960 by brothers Peppino and Federico Corneli, the restaurant continues to uphold the same authentic recipes passed down through generations. A true family business, it is now proudly run by the new generation — Nicola, Pina, and Alex Corneli, together with Chef Joe Nicodemo. Our homemade pasta, hand-crafted by Nonna Donna, remains the heart and soul of our cuisine. And of course, our pizza baked in an oven imported from Italy delivers that traditional taste we’re famous for.

Première visite chez Cornelli à Laval & wow, belle surprise!
Service A1 du début à la fin, avec Sonia qui était vraiment aux petits soins pour nous. On commence fort avec la focaccia savoureuse 🌶? , suivie de calmars frits croustillants.
L'ambiance est super agréable, vibe animée sans être étouffante, & le service reste rapide même quand le resto est plein, gros point positif surtout avec les enfants.
Côté plats, les portions sont généreuse & intéressante à partager. Nous avons commandé les cavatelli di ricotta fait à la main & la pizza, tout simplement délicieux! Les choix de pâtes dans le menu pour enfants était très bien, même si ma fille a décidé de prendre les nouilles au beurre (qu'elle a adoré haha).
Bref, une expérience 10/10. Je recommande sans hésiter & c'est sûr qu'on revient! 🍕

If you like a loud party atmosphere when gathering with friends & family, this is the place for you. Don't expect to go there to have a nice relaxed quiet dinner. Having said that, the food & the service were on point & reasonably priced.
I visited Cornelli Restaurant in Laval with my wife for Valentine's Day, & it was an absolutely wonderful experience!
The food was delicious - each dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor. The service was attentive & friendly without being intrusive, making our evening feel special & relaxed. The ambiance is cozy, romantic, & perfect for a date night.
The restaurant is very clean & well-organized. The parking lot was a bit limited due to how busy the restaurant was, but it was still manageable.
Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience & a perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day. I highly recommend Cornelli Restaurant to anyone looking for great food & a warm, welcoming atmosphere in Laval!

Nourriture fraîche mais très fade. Spaghetti très acide, assaisonnements manquant.
Ambiance de cafétéria, très bruyant, on ne se comprenait pas quand on parlait.
Really enjoyed it with my family!
Edit:
Went back a second time & loved it!
My teens loved it so you know it was good.
The food arrived nice & hot - perfect.
I really liked my Margarita but would perhaps ask to add more alcohol & gladly pay.
Carrot cake was delish.
Entrées : in-house focaccia type bread with grilled hot peppers! Sooooo good :)
Nourriture excellente, portion généreuses, prix très raisonnables pour le marché.. Rien à dire. Un peu d'attente pour recevoir les plats, mais ça s'explique facilement par un resto plein à ras bord. Je recommande fortement!
Your food is very good ...when it comes to take out your portion not enought for the price ...
When you take for example your cavatelli ...very good but again not enough...for the price
You should increase your take out for your food.
