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.

such an amazing restaurant! delicious food & drinks, friendly staff & overall such an incredible dinner. Will definitely be hosting my birthday dinner here in June & I'm so excited!
Loved this restaurant, i ordered the scalopini figs with porto with aglio & olio pasta & it was excellent. Delicieux , je le recommande a tous. Cornelli's
i had a margherita pizza & a plate of tortellini. everything was amazing. service was good too. the waiter was really nice & accommodating. the music was a bit loud but besides that everything was great. will definitely be going back.
J'ai aimé ma première expérience chez Corneli! Belle ambiance & beau décor! La soupe minestrone, la pizza margherita, le vin pinot grigio & la crème glacée à l'italienne c'était excellent! Merci à Jean pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse, sa bonne humeur & nous a offert un super bon service!

Safe to say that Vimont/Auteuil needed a place like Cornell. The food, the vibes & the location are A-1. Great place to take your significant other, or your clients. 5 stars!
Nourriture excellente mais temps d'attente pour recevoir les plats vraiment long, & le restaurant avait moins de 12 clients.
Très très bruyant, musique trop forte & choix musical criard (les paroles les paroles de Dalida, etc). Musique lounge moins forte serait plus appropriée pour pouvoir discuter & s'entendre. & ça irait mieux avec le décor du restaurant plutôt moderne.
Le restaurant est entièrement refait à neuf, décor magnifique.
Il ne reste aucunes traces de l'ancien restaurant La Flamberie qui occupait ce local depuis 30 ans a entièrement disparu.
Service ok.
Les pâtes étaient vraiment fraîches & vraiment très bonnes. De même pour la pizza.
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.
I did my birthday celebration with family at Corneli's in Laval on Sunday, & we were all incredibly impressed! The restaurant is beautiful with a great atmosphere, the service is impeccable, & the food is amazing/authentic! We were particularly impressed by the generous food portions for the salad, pasta, & mains! You don't see this very often at most restaurants anymore, so this was a refreshing experience! Very high quality. Alex & his team were also very accommodating & flexible, which was greatly appreciated! My family & I will definitely be back! 100% recommend!
