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.
Visit us at our two locations: Little Italy – Montreal Vimont – Laval
Ristorante Pizzeria Corneli offers a lively and welcoming Italian dining experience with a bright, modern space and warm, generous portions that make it easy to share. The pizza is consistently outstanding, with a wood-fired crust and a wide selection that pairs well with well crafted pastas and fresh seafood options, all at approachable prices. Service is attentive and friendly, creating a feel of family hospitality even when the restaurant is busy, and the atmosphere is festive enough for celebrations or casual dinners. While the space can get loud at peak times, the overall quality, variety and value keep guests coming back.
Great food & nice experience. We had crabcakes & Melanzane & both were delicious & used actual crab. Pizzas are amazing. Great family vibe with great cocktails & amazing service. A redo
Chez Corneli, la tradition italienne a son meilleur. Un service de grande classe & une nourriture de qualité supérieure.
Merci & bravo à toute l'équipe!

Loved it! On the expensive side but food & service is very good. Thank you Sonia, our waiter, for the good service. Souriante, amicale & très professionnelle. Merci beaucoup👌
Corneli's Laval absolutely exceeded all expectations for my daughter's confirmation today. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. Sonia & Stephanie gave us truly impeccable service; attentive, kind, professional, & always making sure every detail was perfect. Joe & Alex, what a joy to deal with. So patient with me & my constant emailing! 😊
The food? Incredible. Everything was delicious, the pizza, pasta! but the arancini… WOW. To die for. Authentic, flavorful, & honestly some of the best we've ever had.
Thank you to the entire team for making such an important day so special & stress-free for our family. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend for any special occasion… or honestly just for an amazing meal! ❤?
Ambiance un peu désagréable car les gens parlent BEAUCOUP trop fort & il est presque impossible d'entendre la personne en face de nous ..j'en suis sortie avec un bon mal de tête. Service très très long ! Nous avons attendu plus d'une heure après nos entrées pour recevoir nos assiettes & sur huit personnes, septs ont trouvé leurs assiettes bien ordinaires. La salade César par contre est vraiment très bonne. Trois entrées, trois plats principaux sans alcool, ni café, ni dessert ..160$ & pour le stationnement..bonne chance ! C'était notre premier & dernier essai à ce restaurant.

Our family went to Corneli after my brother's funeral,after a sad event like our it was nice to have a server like Jean to make our meal a very joyful experience.
The food was fantastic & everyone enjoyed there meal
Une institution parmi nous à Laval! Le menu est riche & à découvrir à chaque visite. On sait que c'est bon quand les plats ramenés à la maison & réchauffés le lendemain sont tout aussi goûteux! À noter que les prix sont très abordables.
Had another opportunity to celebrate a memorable gathering, this tine for mother's day. It's our third time at Corneli & hoping to visit again in the near future. The food is delicious & the service is well balanced.
Un merci spécial à notre serveur d'hier soir Martin il a été très professionnel & souriant avec plein d'énergie. Je recommande ce restaurant fortement pour l'ambiance & le menu plus que succulant.
