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.

The restaurant was packed with communion & confirmation celebrations. We were a small group of 10 & we were still well served & promptly & the plates we ordered were fantastic. I had the cavatelli with sausage & rapini & it was 👌. My husband the lasagna & he said was fantastic, my son had the penne alla Gigi & he adored it & my daughter's pepperoni pizza was delish! Everything was great & service was great too! Definitely returning!

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.
Super restaurant avec sa délicieuse pizza au four à bois est minutieusement inspectée avant d'être servie, la tendre escalope de veau & les goûteuses pâtes. Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le restaurant est très bruyant avec ses hauts plafonds, peut-être que quelques panneaux acoustiques pourraient aide
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.

El pan de entrada resultó satisfactorio. La pasta estuvo bien, aunque un poco salada. La porción del pasticho fue mínima y predominantemente salsa; su precio de casi $30 me pareció excesivo en relación con la cantidad servida. Sin embargo, lo que más deslució la experiencia fue la vestimenta del personal de servicio; la indumentaria inapropiada resta elegancia a la decoración y genera una primera impresión negativa al ingresar al restaurante.
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.
De très bons plats. La quantité est généreuse & la qualité des produits était au rendez-vous. Les linguine aux fruits de mer était excellente avec des produits frais & non surgelés. Le restaurant est grand & beau à l'intérieur. A recommander vivement.
