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!

Enjoyed very much. The veal Marsala was very good. Service was a bit lacking. Had to request water like 4 times in the span of 20-30 min. Would still return.
Wowww toute était parfait en cette journée de festivités de la petite Italie 🇮🇹 merciii à notre serveur Kamyl service impeccable nous allons revenir sait sûre 😊😊😊
Stopped in for dinner on a sweltering hot night. Service was super attentive despite the heat. I was concerned by the vast number of menu options, but I shouldn't have worried: everything was delicious & showed that care & attention went into each dish. I recommend the burrata crocante pizza in particular.
I love love this restaurant. My first visit, I was very pleased with it's size, decor, ample professional & frienly servers in sync attires. They also had beautiful outdoor seatings. Dishes were up to par however the portions were small. Chicken Parm was good though it was paper thin. I would definitely return...hoping for thicker Chicken Parm next time. Parking was bit challenging, wished they had valets.
Seriously overpriced food not fresh service so slow & waiters don't know there tables 3 times they were going with the food to the wrong table the tortellini rosa sauce tasted like butter one bite & o was going to throw up, the lasagna tasted like cardboard, the burrata cheese with tomatoes for entre seriously tasted so bad, never going there anymore. I decided to try that restaurant du the number of good review i dont know if people really serious with there good review or they we're paid to give it a good review.
