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.

It's a few times we come & we are always very content with service & the food & of course the atmosphere!! A great place for any kind of gathering! Love it!
Food is absolutely divine! Everything we ate was simply amazing!! Really good food & the prices are very reasonable! Side note: We went on a Saturday evening during a heat wave, & it was INCREDIBLY hot in the restaurant. Like 28C hot - very uncomfortable. We asked & they said their ac was on max, but it was honestly awful to sit indoors in such hot weather sweating the entire time. Hopefully they can adjust their system to compensate, because it was really not enjoyable. Aside from that & it being crowded & loud due to it being a Saturday night, it was lovely! I'll definitely be going back (on a cooler day) during the day when it's not so crowded.
Employés sympathiques, nourriture bonne mais très salée. Resto très bruyant & ambiance froide a comparé avec le Cornelli de Montréal ou tout était parfait
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.
Had lunch there with a work colleague, & I have to say I was very disappointed. The Apperal spritz was tasteless. Watered down .
we had starters, & one of them was a bruschetta which had hardly any tomato on it.,Tasteless & the bread was hard like a rock. The arugula & sausage also a disappointment, sausage was very dry. Could not finish it.
Long story short, very disappointing experience never going back.
I was part of a family celebration of about 40 people. I immediately liked the large windows with lots of light & sky coming into the dining area. The service was excellent! Attentive throughout the meal, always refilling drinks & water. I'm a home cook, I'm not a snob, but I recognize a well prepared meal with an appetizing presentation. Corneli surpassed my expectations! The chef(s) are top notch! Yeah, for those individuals who put heart & real skill in preparing all the food! Thank you! Worth the trip from the West Island!

Too noisy for my taste, too many tables, too many customers & everyone talking loudly, we couldn't even talk to each other without shouting because we couldn't hear each other.
Corelli de Laval. Excellent moment passé en famille pour mon anniversaire,
Cuisine très bonne la pizza Bianca Buffala Croquante est un délice! Merci à Jean pour un service impeccable & au chef pour son savoir faire & ses petites surprises!
Great spot to enjoy a solid pizza & generous portion of pasta. The appetizers were also quite good & the place has a lovely decor. The staff is friendly & attentive. I can understand why this place is quite busy.
Although the restaurant was too loud, had to scream for my family to hear my speak. The overall vibe was nice. Comfortable seats, nice tables, nice restaurant decorations.
The waiter was very nice & attentive.
The pizza is great! & I had the lamb shank..fall of the bone! Delicious.
