About us

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.

Review Summary

Corneli offers an authentic Italian experience with warm hospitality, fresh ingredients, and generous portions that make it easy to share a wide range of dishes. Highlights include wood-fired pizzas with crisp crusts, house-made pastas, seafood specialties, and appetizers like arancini and calamari, all praised for flavor and quality. The service is consistently attentive and friendly, with a lively, inviting atmosphere that can be bustling and a touch noisy, and the terrace provides a wonderful setting for meals with family or friends. The wine list and desserts such as tiramisu and cannoli receive positive mentions, and overall the restaurant is known for good value, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe—even when busy. A reliable go-to for a satisfying Italian meal in Little Italy.

Great Italian food! They have gluten free options.
The tiramisu we had that day was about disappoting since it is too liquify & tastes like whipped cream in between.
But the waitress waived the charge for this.
I tried Rabit it is so tender & good! My friend has this mushroom & spinach plolanta, amazing good. Highly recommended!

Excellente ambiance & atmosphère chaleureuse, typique d'un bon resto italien de quartier. L'endroit est vivant, convivial & parfait autant entre amis qu'en couple.

Le service est top : souriant, rapide & attentionné, sans être envahissant. On se sent bien accueilli dès l'arrivée & bien accompagné tout au long du repas.

Les pizzas sont clairement la star. Pâte parfaitement cuite, ingrédients de qualité, saveurs bien équilibrées & recettes maîtrisées. On sent le savoir-faire & le respect des classiques italiens.

Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité-prix est très solide. Chaque bouchée est satisfaisante, sans compromis sur la qualité.

Une valeur sûre à Montréal pour de vraies bonnes pizzas italiennes. J'y retournerai sans hésiter.

We had a fabulous time here. Excellent food, large portions with a very friendly service. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas, with pleasant music. A mix of 60s, 70s, & more contemporary so everybody happy. Prices also very correct, considering all the food is freshly made, no microwaved shortcuts here. The parmigiana was my absolute favorite. I don't eat meat so can't say anything about the meat dishes but they looked yummy.

Drinks were really good, & the pizza was amazing - so delicious! The arancini were also excellent.

The service was very good. We were a big group, & our server handled everything really well.

It was very busy & a bit crowded, barely room to move, but overall I definitely recommend this restaurant. Everything was very good!

Excellente la salade méditerranéenne

Polpete très bonne mais servi tiède

Cavateli e ricotta - c'est ok, mais le goût des champignons n'est pas très relevé.

Décor magnifique. Service hors paire & rapide, nous avons été bien conseillé sur l'accord mets/vins. La nourriture était bonne & chaude. Le seul point négatif, c'est que la musique était trop forte, on devait parlé très fort pour s'entendre parler.

It's okay...but the busboys are the best in the City. I've been trying to lose weight, & the delicious food & big portions don't help ( thanks alot Cornelli ! ). I still have a hissing sound in my ear from the loud noise of all the people talking, laughing & having a great time. :-)) After parking my car right in front, I got my shoes wet in the snow having to walk to the door ( really ticks me off ). The waiter was very attentive & caring...A little to clingy ( like i need a friend ).
Any way... that's all i got to say.
Actually i got more...but who-ever is still reading this review, must be a real winner
( Loser !).
Ciao ...i'm out-ta hea
