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.

I had a really lovely evening at Restaurant Corneli. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente & the sauce had a depth of flavor that you just cannot find everywhere. Our server was attentive without being overbearing & the wine recommendation was spot on. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu soon.
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.
Incroyable restaurant avec une vraie ambiance d'Italie ! La nourriture est EXCELLENTE & les serveurs sont gentils & rapides. Honnêtement, je n'ai que de belles choses à dire, & pourtant je suis quelqu'un de très critique.
J'ai vraiment hâte d'y retourner, surtout que ce n'est pas si cher que ça pour la qualité & la quantité. Les portions sont très généreuses. J'ai pris la salade César en entrée, mais c'était littéralement une portion de repas principal ! Ensuite, j'ai pris la lasagne.
La sauce de la lasagne… wow ! Crémeuse, légèrement sucrée, fondante en bouche… & très cheesy. Vraiment délicieux !
Serveur attentionné & efficace. Ne commandez pas les pâtes crevettes pétoncles & champignons (spécialité de la maison). Bien que la sauce était très bonne, il n'y avait que 2 malheureuses crevettes, 5petits pétoncles & 2 champignons en tranches. Pour 32$!
We really enjoyed the quality of the food but the balance was a bit off. We ordered the polenta & the salmon linguine. Both dishes had too little of the secondary ingredients. The polenta could have had more mushrooms & a lot more spinach & sauce, the linguine could have used more of everything except noodles. That's not to say the portion sizes were too small, but rather that there was too much of the'carb' ingredient relative to the other ingredients.
The ambiance of the place was pretty good, more modern chic than resolutely Italian in style.
The service was also very good handling such a large group.
My wife & I have traveled to Montreal for our first trip to the city & it has been amazing. The food & drink has been on par with our trips through Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France) & Corneli has been at the apex of the trip so far.
We were walking through Mount Royal & decided to catch a quick Uber to Jean Telon Market. Getting peckish, we decided to take a random walk through Little Italy & stumbled upon the restaurant for lunch.
We were immediately seated, drinks served quickly & asked for orders (the accommodation for English was quite welcome). We started with the Bruschetta & loved the fresh tomato, delicious olive oil, & sweet balsamic.
My wife ordered the Penne alla Romanoff (pictured) & I had the recommended Lasagna (pictured).
My exact words to my wife'I think this might be the best lasagne I've had.... In my life'. I should be careful as she makes a phenomenal bechamel with her lasagna :)
Her Penne was al dente, the sauce was buttery & not overpowering, & paired quite well with the parmasean.
Our drinks of a Spritz, Martini, & Manhatten were satisfying & done expertly. Much better than the price would suggest :)
Shout out to our server Andrew who was very attentive, easily provided recommendations, & looked after us with care.
If you get a chance, please check out Corneli, you won't be disappointed.
I visited Restaurant Corneli for my birthday & overall had a good experience, though I left feeling a bit disappointed. The food itself was excellent. The lasagna was rich & flavorful, the gnocchi had a great texture with a fresh tomato sauce, & the pizza was perfectly cheesy with a crispy crust. Everything tasted really authentic & made with care.
The restaurant has a warm, classic Italian atmosphere, & the service was friendly & attentive throughout the meal. However, as someone who works in the service industry, I was a little surprised that nothing was mentioned or done for my birthday - no small dessert, acknowledgment, or gesture. It's something I always make sure to include for guests at my own job, as it adds that personal touch & makes their special day memorable.
Still, Restaurant Corneli delivers great food & a cozy dining experience. It's just missing that extra bit of hospitality that would've made it perfect.
The Best Italian Restaurant I have ever been to in Montreal. Each dish takes you another level of nirvana. For 4 people we ordered Polenta Funghi spinachi,Pizza toute garni,Piccata il lemon 🍋 a glass of wine,gavi granee, vitally alla bosacaiola,calamari & coffee di jionnais.
Excellent. I gave 4 stars for one main reason:
Every dish ordered is very salty.
I wonder if one could request to hold the salt or do not add salt if already in the sauce.
We would like to go back another day only if we can request to HOLD THE SALT PLEASE 🙂
WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!
Our server Elizabeth aims to please . She's very pleasant ,smiles alot,& we are a table of 12.
Thank you Elizabeth 😊
I recently visited Corneli with my girlfriend. I ordered the Vitello alla Parmigiana with vegetables & potatoes, while she chose the Linguini alle Vongole.
Unfortunately, my veal dish was a big disappointment. The potatoes were floury & unpleasant to eat, the carrots were fine, but the green vegetables tasted frozen, something I notice right away & personally don't enjoy. The tomato sauce was good, but the veal itself was overwhelmed by the flour coating, making it hard to really taste the meat.
My girlfriend's linguini dish was better overall. However, the clams were not cleaned properly, so there was sand in them, which is a big drawback for a seafood dish.
On the positive side, before our meals arrived, we were served complimentary Italian bread (similar to focaccia) with spices & pepper. It wasn't too strong & was very enjoyable. Honestly, it ended up being better than my main dish. We received only one slice because I took the picture late, but normally they serve four or five slices, which is a nice touch.
Each dish was $32, & with tax & tip, the total came to around $80-$90 for two. Given the quality, I find it quite expensive.
Main takeaway: Corneli seems like a better choice if you stick to pasta, which they do well (though my girlfriend's dish could have been improved by properly cleaning the clams). I would definitely avoid the vegetable-&-potato option & go for the homemade pasta instead. Overall, I'd call it a so-so restaurant: not terrible, but not one I'd rush back to for veal.
I took the meatball sauce pizza & wasn't a fan, but my girlfriend took a sweet honey pizza & it tasted incredible. Good place for good pizza with kind people.
