This restaurant is absolutely incredible! I had the best pasta of my life here - every bite was pure perfection. The flavors, the atmosphere, the attention to detail - everything was just outstanding. It truly deserves all the Michelin stars in the world. I can’t wait to come back!

An absolute gem of an Italian restaurant! The seafood spaghetti was simply outstanding – perfectly cooked pasta with the freshest seafood, full of flavor in every bite. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, and the service made the experience even more enjoyable. Truly a place I’d love to come back to again and again!

What a lovely surprise Il Corso was for us! We wanted a nice place for lunch between our visit to the Zoo and the MoMA and Il Corso surpassed expectations well beyond it being conveniently located! The food was tremendous, the service incredibly gracious and accommodating, and the ambience casual and intimate. My daughter loved her parmesan fries and grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo that they whipped up for her. I had a bite or two and was impressed with the pasta quality. My wife enjoyed her fettuccine Bolognese equally as much, the sauce was perfect. And I enjoyed my endive salad but was in absolute heaven with my succulent filet mignon lathered with an indulgent 4 cheese sauce. Epic. Cocktail was perfect as well, made to my dry sensibility. Special shout out to Genaro, our most gracious host. He was wonderful. Felt like being in Italy again!

We came for an early dinner after visiting MoMa. Service was impeccable. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed a couple of drinks, apps, and pasta. We loved the spaghetti di Mare. Prices were very good, all things considered. Quality isn't supposed to be cheap. At il Corso, you get what you pay for.

Great experience! Food tasted absolutely DELICIOUS!! Everyone who worked there was very nice and attentive. Pasta was excellent. Every dish we ordered was a 10/10, including our chocolate cake!

Service was absolutely impeccable here! I had the best birthday dinner of my life!! Highly recommend the Cacio e Pepe. Rack of lamb and truffle burrata specials were also amazing. We finished with espresso and homemade tiramisu, which were to die for! I appreciate every little detail. Will absolutely be back!

I visited this restaurant to enjoy authentic, traditional Italian cuisine. The pasta was absolutely delicious, with no unnecessary frills. While the gnocchi didn’t quite meet my expectations, its unique roasted preparation made it less greasy, offering an interesting and memorable experience. The desserts were also delightful, each with its own unique charm.

The menu is solidly traditional and dishes are well presented. We ordered the Farro salad and Polipo to start, both were very good. Our pastas were the Linguine Vongole (my control when trying a new Italian joint) and the Ziti con Agnello ragu. For me, the linguine was close to a fail. Almost tasteless, though the pasta was perfectly al dente and the vongole perfectly steamed. ZIti substituted for the traditional papardelle, which is what this sauce really needs for best taste experience. For dessert, our waiter suggested the Tiramisu, Creme brulee and nutella torte when asked for his top 3. We should have taken his recco. The cannoli was also a fail--the shell too thick, the creme bordering on tasteless. The decibel level is ridiculously loud. YOU WILL BE SHOUTING AT THE TABLE. NOTE: Be careful negotiating the entryway-- a definite liability issue ---almost pitch black , no reflective strip on the edge of the step up into the restaurant doorway and a cavalier attitude of "we know there is a problem there" from the hosting team, when I mentioned it needed some attention. Prices are reasonable. I would go again for lunch to give it another chance, but I do as well out of my own kitchen and pantry on any weeknight.

We came to this place cuz is supposed to have the best pasta in new york. Pasta is just decent nothing special. We also tried the lasagna it was underwhelming it lacks a lot of flavor and the bechamel sauce still tasted like flour. Service was good but I would not recommend this place
