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!

Overall, Corneli feels like a cherished neighborhood destination where great food, drinks, and a vibrant vibe come together for a memorable meal.
Cadre sobre & romantique, service de qualité & attentionné de la part des différents serveurs. Les plats sont délicieux, pour ma part lasagne maison & tiramisu. Un cocktail pour commencer, soigné lui aussi. Mon ami, spaghetti bolognaise, vin rouge.
C'est la première fois mais pas la dernière Valérie nous a fait un service exceptionnel elle nous a bien conseillé , les calmars , moules, polpettes, antipasti sopressata , pizza au four à bois calabrese bon conseil de vin je recommande
Trop cher pour ce que c'est: 155$ pour une pizza & un linguine pour deux; c'est surfait. Pour le prix je préfère un resto français qui a des plats plus recherchés
Went there last Saturday. Extremely noisy. Food was mediocre & pricey. Can't believe they didn't even give me bread with my lasagna. This is not fine dinning. Disappointed.
Juste un peu long ce soir. Arrivés à 19:10 & servis une heure plus tard. Mais plus achalandé que ce qu'ils pensaient. Les spaghettis maison étaient très bons, la pizza bolognese aussi. Le personnel très gentil.
We ate here in August & we ordered the four cheese pizza & it was delicious I highly recommend it & the service was great! Can't go wrong with Italian food!
Restaurant très agréable, le personnel gentil & au petit soin de ses clients , la décoration soigné, je mets 5 étoiles aussi pour le plat mais j'avoue pour le mien ( la pizza ) j'aurai mis 4 mais j'ai pu goûter leur lasagne qui était juste exceptionnelle. La prochaine fois sans hésitation je les prendrai .
Liked the ambiance & the staff are so lovely, the food was good ( not wow) The cake has to be more rich in flavour ( tried the chocolate), the taste like a birthday cake ! The espresso coffee is pricey , 2 sips for 4$ !
