il Corso

Great space. Portions were perfect, staff was helpful and attentive, and desserts were unique. The whole meal was very tasty (had the bolognese) and classy. Pizza is particularly good as well.

I've been waiting for this restaurant to open. We dined at il Corso Tuesday evening, the second night it was open. I had a delicious meal of salad, pasta and wine. My meal was excellent and the service was fine. Everything was considerably better than I expected for a new restaurant that had been open less than a week. The space is beautiful and has a wonderful ambiance. I plan to go back.

This place was the best place we found in Coachella valley. You must try the calamari Piccata and the salmon carpaccio

We had a party of four on a Monday night. I was suspect because every other place was packed out. At Il Corso there were possibly half their tables empty. Nonetheless we were greeted at the door and immediately seated. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable, I give them four stars. Bar service was slow and the menu was one page in 6 or 8 point font, (difficult to read) with tiny print. The atmosphere was good and the facility appeared to be new and was also kept very well.
Bar service and food delivery was a little slow. We had cocktails and ordered entrees skipping the appetizers. We also had a bottle of wine which was expensive but good. I had ordered the ravioli and it arrived barely warm and was a small portion. Another of our party had a side dish that should have been hot but was cold. Everyone else's food was good, maybe a bit over seasoned. All in all, Im not sure how long they've been open but they seemed to be suffering from opening jitters. I personally chalked this up to just making the wrong menu selection. The other dishes, puttanesca, lasagna and saltimbocca were good, presented fairly well and were served hot. I might go back.

Pasta, pizza and the seafood are amazing. Try the chicken and your belly will thank you!

The ambiance was nice, however the food lacked flavor. For the prices, I was surprised the food wasn't more flavorful. The service wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. I'm glad we tried it, but we won't be going out of our way to go back. Hopefully this was just a hiccup as a result of reopening from the shutdown and not a regular occurrence.

il Corso where to start, At the beginning of my experience here was good, walked in with my girlfriend on a little date and they had a list of reservations ahead of me but the lady at the front was able to put us in👍. Our server was ok you would have to ask for a refill and barely checked up on us to see how we were doing. I ordered linguini pesto Genovese, when it came to our table the pasta was hard so I asked if the could get another one so they politely gave me another pasta it was still a little hard I would expect a Italian place would know how to cook pasta 🍝.

Il Corso is one of the best restaurants on El Paseo, the food is amazing and very well balanced on the palate, the wine and cocktails pair phenomenally well with the dishes the ambiance and service is topnotch plus you have 4 options to seat. Either in the dinning room, on the patio, in the high seating tables by the bar or at the bar and last but not least, you can sit at the pizza bar and can view your pizza being made . You will not be disappointed.

The veal chop was cooked to perfection. Good wine list. Nice to have a waiter who has the knowledge and experience to guide you

Great place for lunch with incredible paninis, pizza, and other fantastic pasta dishes! The atmosphere was very cool and their menu featured some really tasty Italian dishes.
