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
Groups are welcome and reservations are strongly recommended.
The lounge is equipped with big screens for sports events. Our specialized wine list and wide selection of beers and cocktails is the height of the Italian zest for life!
Corneli offers a lively, authentic Italian experience with generous portions, flavorful dishes, and attentive service. The atmosphere is warm and bustling with tasteful decor and a pleasant terrace, making it a popular spot for celebrations in Little Italy. The menu features classic Italian favorites with standout pizzas and seafood pasta, plus plenty of options for sharing. The staff are consistently welcoming and professional, and guests appreciate the good value for money given the quality and portions. Overall, Corneli feels like a cherished neighborhood destination where great food, drinks, and a vibrant vibe come together for a memorable meal.
La serveuse était parfaite, mais en cuisine ça n'allait pas du tout…On a attendu 1:30 avant d'être servis !!!
Vraiment déçue , nous n'y retournerons plus!
Today, we had the opportunity to celebrate my father's 60th birthday at Corneli Montreal, & it was just amazing. 🙌🏻 Mad love & respect to all the staff members & chefs for their exceptional service, hard work, & dedication. 😌🫶🏻 It was a beautiful & authentic Italian experience that left us all feeling grateful. Warning: the pictures shown below might just make your mouth water 🤤🇮🇹
The service was excellent, parking in the area is a bit difficult, but the venue is pretty big & there are a lot of availabilities of seats
We ordered a few pasta dishes, an appetizer & a pizza. The pasta dishes were lacking salt, but the pizza was delicious. The portions are pretty large, so the prices are reasonable.
Très bonne journée d'anniversaire j'ai bien aimé le saumon grillé il était frais & j'ai même reçu un gâteau offert part la maison à l'occasion mon anniversaire je vous le recommande à 💯
Had a great experience at Corneli Montréal! I ordered the vegetarian pasta & it was delicious-fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The waitress was super friendly & gave excellent recommendations that really made the meal even better. The ambiance is lovely too-authentic, cozy, & welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a relaxed & satisfying Italian meal!

Très bon restaurant italien avec des pâtes excellentes. Les plats sont savoureux. Côté budget, c'est un peu cher & il faut compte pas moins de 100$ par personne avec une entrée, un plat & un café. Si vous prenez un dessert, c'est encore plus cher.
