Fondé en 1960 par les frères Peppino et Federico Corneli, le restaurant perpétue toujours les mêmes recettes authentiques transmises de génération en génération. Entreprise familiale, il est aujourd’hui entre les mains de la nouvelle génération : Nicola, Pina, Alex Corneli et le chef Joe Nicodemo. Les pâtes maison, façonnées à la main par la nonna Donna, demeurent le cœur et l’âme de notre cuisine. Et bien sûr, notre pizza cuite au four importé d’Italie offre ce goût unique et traditionnel qui fait notre réputation.

Good: We had vegetarian Pasta & pizza & some drinks. Pasta was good, pizza was lacking veggies but fresh oven backed crust was nice. Wine & Mango margaritas were good.
Bad: two of the drinks we ordered didn't have simple syrup so they were very sour, un drinkable. I informed the waiter & he said they won't charge. But they charged. We asked for more bread, it was finished ! Salads were ok, could be dressed well & noticed some ingredients from list missing or barely there! Pretty noisy & tight spaced place.
This is the best Italian restaurant in Montreal & probably the best restaurant in the whole Canada. I came here in the past with two friends & the pizzas were amazing & the tiramisu was beyond mouthwatering & tasty! Today I came with a friend & had the Coniglio alla cacciatora & my friend ordered salmon, there was a little misunderstanding with the order but then it was corrected & my friend was able to have his salmon with veggies & pasta as well, for what you eat the price is really good, portions are generous & the food is very well cooked & prepared, whether you get pasta or pizza or meat everything is perfectly cooked & staged in places to the perfection. Because of the little misunderstanding the waiter was beyond kind & generous & offered us the dessert & coffee, I got the Ferrero rocher cheese cake which was insanely good! They have many choices of Italian wines & they serve a good espresso coffee, I don't like espresso in many places in Montreal but I loved it here! I am Italian born & raised in Italy & I love this place, the family who created this place did an amazing job for the products they offer, for the passion they have in cooking & for the people they choose to work for them! Good job guys keep up the good work, I can't wait to come back & eat again there!
We were very excited to try this restaurant since I love with two pasta lovers. We each ordered different meals & they were all delicious. Our waiter was very polite & helpful. I appreciated that they offered both English & French language menus. The atmosphere was beautiful & very welcoming to all. There were families with young children as well as couples.
Toujours parfait comme restaurant! De bons prix pour de bonnes portions. Excellent service amical & soucieux du détail. Facile d'accès en transport en commun.

What a gem this place is! The restaurant interior is beautiful & service outstanding. I was impressed by the attentiveness of the staff, something you don't see often these days. The food was also delicious. Would return 10/10
Lively atmosphere, popular & our meals were outstanding. I didn't make a reservation & was lucky to be accepted so, reservation is necessary to ensure an enjoyable meal & ambiance.
ubered a scallopini boscaiola & Ferrero chocolate cake. The scallopini's sauce was truly awesome (cream, shallot, white wine a classic). The meat was excellent; it had a bit of texture but gave way easily. The cholate Ferrero cake was a fresh moist chocolate cake thoroughly enjoyable, but I did not find the Ferrero taste that I was expecting; it was very subtle. Nevertheless, an excellent chocolate cake.
Love the lively atmosphere here. It was hard for us to find an Italian restaurant for a table of 8, so we found Corneli through Google Maps. The decor is beautiful. Love that they never rushed us. Food was comforting & came in big portions. We were looking forward for desserts but we got too full. My sister usually doesn't like mussels but she loved them here :) Highly recommend this place for group celebrations.
Excellente nourriture!! Ambiance & décor chaleureux, & surtout, un service impeccable! Une mention spéciale à notre serveur Ryan 😊 Nous y retournerons assurément!
After a two-year break, I returned to Corneli on a Saturday night at around 7:30 PM & was blown away by the energy! If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, this isn't it! The place was packed to the gills with birthday parties & big families. It's loud, it's bustling, & it's pure Montreal Italian vibes.
The Highlights:
• Service (Much Improved!): Huge shoutout to the staff. Despite every table being full, our waiter was attentive & prompt. I've never seen a team move so fast-they were literally running to keep up, & it worked!
• The Food: We shared the Calamari, Cavatelli, & the Linguine Pescatori (see photo!). Everything was delicious: fresh seafood, perfectly cooked pasta, & the cocktails were also spot on.
• Pro-Tip: You must book a table. We arrived at 7:30 PM & there wasn't a single free seat in the house.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a high-energy spot for a group dinner or a celebratory night out, Corneli is back on my list. The seafood pasta alone is worth the noise!
