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.

Food was incredible! Top quality service from all the staff, they were so attentive to our needs & patient with us!! Couldn't ask for better service! I recommend the seafood pizza & the Agnello! So tender & the vegetables were well done & fresh. The cocktails were sooooooo yummy especially the spicy mango margarita. Inexpensive meal & excellent quality. 10/10 would return
Corneli absolutely demolished the competition in Laval ! The quality, precision, & attention to detail are unmatched. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, & top-tier.

Corneli has honestly become my go-to place for pizza. The moment you walk in, you feel this warm, welcoming vibe - the space is beautiful, cozy, & surprisingly large, with lots of different seating options depending on your mood.
But the real highlight is the pizza. It's consistently amazing - both in quality & price. & the portions? Very generous. I actually eat a lot, but I still end up with 2 or 3 slices left every time 😄
I still remember that first bite… & that feeling hasn't changed. It's one of those places that genuinely makes you happy.
I've tried other pizza spots in Montreal & Laval, but I've often been disappointed, which is why I keep coming back here. Corneli is easily one of the best.
Highly recommended if you're looking for great pizza, big portions, & a warm, inviting atmosphere.
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! 🍕
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 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!
We celebrated our family reunion at Restaurant Corneli, & the food was absolutely amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was just as great-warm, stylish, & welcoming. Everything from the atmosphere to the dishes made for a wonderful dining experience.
A big thank you to our server, Jean, who was outstanding. He made sure we were well taken care of throughout the entire meal & truly elevated our experience with his attentive & friendly service.
Not normally a fan of Italian food but this place was incredible. Calamari entre was fresh & not heavily breaded. The main dish of braised lamb with a variety of vegetables was absolutely Devine. Very generous portion & cooked to perfection.
Je recommend L'agneau braisé avec légumes. Toute cuit dans un sauce maison. Un délice. Les amies ont pris des pâtes & pizzas. Tous l'monde est très satisfait. L'ambiance est spectaculaire & confortable. Le seule problème avec ce restaurant (& beaucoup d'autres restaurants d'ailleurs) est le service. Ouf. Une serveuse qui ne sert pas avec un aire bête. Zéro sourire est permis!!! Elle prends nos commandes avec un attitude & deux jeunes garçons viennent nous porter nos plates. Épouvantable. Ça ne vais pas m'empêcher d'y retourner mais c'est malaisant comme service.
Great place for an anniversary or Xmas party. Food is great. Service is fast & served with a smile. Great place family place . Big, spacious & clean. Must go back. Highly recommended. 😋
Nous sommes allés en groupe, un samedi soir, pour fêter un anniversaire. & nous n'étions pas les seuls! Très belle expérience. Bel endroit, service impeccable, nourriture généreuse & délicieuse. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les beignets de crabe & les bruschetta. Parmi les meilleurs que j'ai mangés. Mes pâtes étaient excellentes, toutefois la prochaine fois, je me paie la pizza New York. Nous recommandons fortement Corneli!
Excellent restaurant beaucoup de choix au menu , la nourriture cuisine italienne authentique exquise très bon service , je le recommande fortement vous avez un nouveau client 👌

Been to Pizza Corneli twice & both times the pizza was absolutely fantastic! Great quality, amazing flavors, & excellent service. It can get a bit loud inside, but the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend!
