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.
Brought my parents & their two best friends here for my mom's 75th birthday.Every dish came out so tasty & perfectly cooked. The friendly service by Clara ✨💛 made us feel like we were eating at home. Thank you Clara!
I read previous comments about it being noisy, I have to agree that it was in fact on the noisy side however, it is not necessarily a bad thing, we enjoyed the festive ambiance ☺?
My pepperoni pizza was amazing!!!💕
It's not just a meal here, it's a guest experience. Great service, friendly smiles, & flavors that make you plan your next visit before you leave.
Also, the parking fills up pretty quickly but around the corner, on a residential street we found parking & so many other cars followed.
Thank you so much for making this a memorable evening 🥰🩷

Corneli est un restaurant avec une histoire ! J'avais mangé de la pizza que non père achetait quand j'étais jeune a Montréal-Nord ,& dans mes souvenirs, elle était extraordinairement bonne ! En 2024 ,j'ai vu celui de Laval qui venait d'ouvrir, & j'ai décidé d'aller voirs ! Le gérant, très sympathique ma confirmé que c'était la même entreprise, & la même recette ! Je l'ai essayé & la pizza a éveillé en moi des souvenirs a un moment de ma vie ou j'en avais besoin ,& elle goûtait comme dans mes souvenirs ! Pendant un moment, j'ai eu l'impression de manger une fois de plus avec mon père ! Merci Corneli ,meilleur pizza a Laval pour moi !
