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.

Ristorante Pizzeria Corneli offers a lively and welcoming Italian dining experience with a bright, modern space and warm, generous portions that make it easy to share. The pizza is consistently outstanding, with a wood-fired crust and a wide selection that pairs well with well crafted pastas and fresh seafood options, all at approachable prices. Service is attentive and friendly, creating a feel of family hospitality even when the restaurant is busy, and the atmosphere is festive enough for celebrations or casual dinners. While the space can get loud at peak times, the overall quality, variety and value keep guests coming back.
Had an amazing experience at Corneli. The Puttanesca was easily the best I've ever had, perfectly balanced, rich in flavor, & clearly made with care. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, with great vibes that make it feel ideal for a relaxed family gathering. Everything from the service to the food felt thoughtful & genuine. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to.
My best regards to the Chef, manager, the magnificent server & the whole stuff.
Had a wonderful supper with the family. The service was quick & the servers were very friendly & attentive. I loved the pasta plate & pizza. It was a great experience. Highly recommend this genuine Italian restaurant.
Ce resto est parfait !! Bouffe super bonne ! On était 24 personnes & on a eu un service impeccable ! Le seul hic c'est le stationnement manquant parce que le resto est toujours plein :D
Excellent endroit pour tous types d'événements.
Ambiance agréable & de très bons goût. Cuisine italienne classique de qualité. Un bar qui saura satisfaire les plus exigeants.je le recommande fortement.

Tres beau restaurant avec belle ambiance! Belles assiettes copieuses & delicieuses …. Carte des vins raisonnable & des serveurs a l'écoute! Je suis ravie
The meal was truly exceptional. The service further enhanced the dining experience. I assure you, this is not a sponsored endorsement; I simply believe in commending establishments that genuinely deserve recognition. We arrived 45 minutes before closing, yet we were still made to feel very welcome. It was a truly remarkable experience. I hope the lady who was at our service the best.
I just wished that the Entry was bigger. It was so good.
J'ai eu le plaisir de célébrer l'anniversaire surprise de mon conjoint au Restaurant Corneli & l'expérience a été tout simplement exceptionnelle!
Nous étions un groupe de 45 personnes & malgré l'ampleur de l'événement, le service a été IMPECCABLE du début à la fin : un service rapide, efficace & d'une grande qualité. Les serveurs ont fait preuve d'une flexibilité remarquable, toujours souriants & attentifs à nos besoins. Un merci tout spécial à Zoey qui a su répondre à mes demandes avec une gentillesse hors pair ainsi qu'à ses collègues en soirée du 18 avril pour leur belle énergie tout au long de l'évènement!
La nourriture était excellente, avec plusieurs options de menus de groupe variées. J'ai pu choisir un menu qui convenait parfaitement aux goûts de mes invités & le rapport qualité-prix est tout simplement imbattable.
Je tiens aussi à souligner le professionnalisme lors de la planification avec M. Corneli. Les réponses étaient rapides, claires, & toute l'organisation (tables, places, menu, gâteau) s'est faite avec constance & cohérence, ce qui a grandement facilité les préparatifs.
Je recommande ce restaurant sans aucune hésitation. Je suis extrêmement satisfaite de mon expérience & mes invités m'en parlent encore à quel point ils ont apprécié leur soirée.
Super cuisine comme à la succursale de Montéal. Service excellent. Seul bémol à éviter le week-end très bruyant, la musique en plus du bruits des clients était de trop.
