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

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.
J'avais beaucoup entendu parler du restaurant Corneli ,alors une soirée je suis allé essayer un de leur meilleure plat de pates qui sont les Lignuini con gamberi e capesante.Le plat de pate fut réellement délicieuse.La sauce était quand même bien équilibré.
👿 Mon seul défault par rapport au plat que j'ai commander c'est qu'il m'avais pas assez de viande je n'ai eu que 2 petite crevette pour in plat que j'avais commander a 37$ avec les taxes.Je trouve que c'est un peu chère payé

Best Restaurant for pizza in Vimont Laval
Service is fine,as for everything else not so much.Under cooked calamari,chicken on the dry side with that sauce they drowned on to it.Had pasta,,sauce to much acidity As for salad,don't care for it.Anti pasto was fine along with the grilled sauceges.Overall not going back much better Italian restaurants than this one.Also the damn A.C. wasn't working,freaking hot in there.
Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe. Excellent service & options de menu. Les pizzas, pâtes, sauces faites maison & encore plus. Nous avons hâte d'y retourner bientôt en famille ou entre amis.
Went for dinner with some friends last night. The free pizza/focaccia they serve on the table was dry. I took calamari as an appetizer & I was surprised at how small the portion was for the price, the taste was really good though. My main was a pizza & it was delicious, great sauce & toppings, cooked to perfection, unfortunately my friend's pizza was burnt to a crisp so she threw out all the crust, she was too shy to complain. For dessert I had a cannolo, very good but the ricotta was too fresh & a little runny & quite pricey when you compare the price when purchasing at a pastry. Be prepared to park further away as their parking space is very limited & this includes the reserved lot on the side, very small so we had to park up on the street. What'bothered' us the most is seeing that in this day & age the waitresses at this establishment are still wearing barely there skirt/shorts that practically show off their buttcheeks while the guys are wearing long pants. It's a classy looking place perhaps more appropriate clothing would be better suited…I would go back because I did enjoy the food but probably during a weekday when it's less noisy, it was really loud in there, my ears were buzzing when I left (I am aware this is not the restaurant's fault). Service was slow too but considering how packed the restaurant was, I wasn't really surprised. Our waitress was very nice though.
Adam our waiter was great. Very friendly & excellent service. I ordered the Suprema pizza & it hand a nice undercarriage from their special rotating stone pizza oven. Some flop to it due to extra toppings & extra sauce but the flavor & texture was excellent. One Bite Everyone Knows The Rules. 9.5 rating from me. I couldn't give it a 10 as I still have another 29 options to try at Corneli's. Amazing. Highly recommend & try & get Adam to serve you. He's a super friendly staff member. Thanks for a wonderful lunch.

They don't disappoint, & the food, from the appetizers onward, is delicious, & the sauces are homemade by the family's grandmother. We highly recommend it.
Pennine alla puttanesca (24$): la cuisson des pâtes était parfaite, la généreuse sauce est la meilleure puttanesca que j'ai mangée. On y goûtait les câpres, les anchois & les olives noires.
Pizza quattro fromaggi (26$): cuite dans le grand four à bois, cette pizza facilement partageable à deux personnes était délicieuse. Généreuse en fromage.
Tiramisu (10$): la meilleure recette est celle que je faisais au restaurant Le Planète. Je n'ai jamais réussi à en trouver un qui lui arrivait à la cheville, mais je dois admettre que leur Tiramisu y arrive de tout près. Excellent & généreuse portion.
Ciambelle fritte (11$): le dessert idéal à partager en gang pour les amateurs de Nutella!
SERVICE: Nous sommes arrivées à 17h un vendredi en pensant que nous aurions une table pour deux facilement. Hors, il restait que de la place au bar. Alors, n'hésitez pas à réserver! En ce qui concerne le service, la serveuse était gentille & efficace. Le seul petit bémol est que nous avons dû demander le pain offert voyant que les autres clients en recevait.
AMBIANCE: c'est un beau restaurant tout neuf (suite à la fermeture de La Flamberie). C'est très lumineux, la déco est belle, l'armoire à vin vitrée au centre donne du cachet. Cependant, c'est vraiment, mais vraiment bruyant. Si j'étais eux, j'investirais dans des rideaux épais qui absorbent le son ainsi que d'autres matériaux qui agisse en ce sens. Nous avions de la difficulté à avoir une conversation à deux & même d'entendre la serveuse devant nous. Assez pour enlever deux étoiles.
PRIX: on sait que les restos sont rendus chers, mais attendez vous à payer 25$ pour un seul plat, sans compter l'entrée, dessert & vin. La consolation est que vous risquez d'en rapporter à la maison, surtout pour la pizza.

I ordered an appetizer of crispy calamari & they did not disappoint. The 2 dipping sauces were a fine compliment to the delicious & generous portion of calamari.
As a main course I had the prosciutto & burrata cheese pizza which was had a perfectly cooked crust & generously garnished quality toppings.
The service was professional, quick & the ambiance was excellent.
