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.
Toujours heureuse d'aller manger à votre restaurant! Très bon service!
Cependant, Beaucoup de bruit dans le sens qu'on avait de la difficulté à s'entendre à notre propre table. C'est peut-être que nous étions au centre du resto. J'essaierai sur le coté la prochaine fois.
L'accueil était chaleureux & notre serveuse excellente & patiente. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas son nom. Malgré l'achalandage, on ne nous a pas fait sentir qu'il fallait libérer la table.
I was there last night for my birthday. It was a great experience as usual. The place was packed but the food was awesome & the staff was attentive to all of our requests. I'll be back for sure.

En fait, pour l'ambiance en temps normal c'est super, Mais là le bruit avec la musique était vraiment très fort, temps des fêtes donc c'était plein dans le resto. Difficile d'avoir une conversation suivie!
Un très agréable moment partagé avec des amis. Qualité des produits, professionnalisme & attention du personnel. Je recommande, vous ne serez pas déçu.
The place was very crowded & this made people cramped together. The service was good, but slow, we didn't eat dessert because it took too long to bring the menu. I think the place is great, but it has serious limitations on the capacity to serve, you should receive fewer people to be able to receive quality service!
