I was very pleased to have visited Cornell’s in Little Italy. If high quality service and wonderfully delish authentic Italian dishes are in you or your families wishes, you certainly have to stop here.

Our experience was the best in all respects. The food was really great – flavorful, hot, appealing to the eye and a lot of it. You will not leave hungry after your meal. The service from everyone was top notch–quick and attentive. It was our first time there and we will definitely go back when we are in the area. Prices appear somewhat on the higher side, but well worth it. You won’t be disappointed.

Huge portions of decent Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere. The Thursday night Date Night special was a great deal and delicious for the price! Our group of four had a nice meal.

Over priced and not much of a selection in my opinion, most of the menu items were dishes I’ve never heard of so I just got the New York Strip Steak, they don’t have steak sauce and it definitely could have used it. The steak was okay nothing out of this world but with a $35 price tag I’d at least expect it to be really good. Basically, I guess it was too fancy for my taste. I’ll stick with Texas Steak House or Chili’s where I can understandthe menu and the steak is always awesome. The service was very good though.

This is a little late posting but better late than never. We had a party of 7 on the Saturday before Mother’s Day. Our reservations were for 6 o’clock. We had heard such wonderful things about this restaurant and were excited about the opportunity to have dinner there.

I cannot say enough about this place! It is excellent in every way, from the friendly waitress, elegant decor, Italian opera playing on the stereo, and of course…the food. Fabulous house-made Cavatelli, delicious fried artichokes, and AMAZING tortellini. It’s our new favorite Italian restaurant – don’t miss it!

Delightful as always! From the team to the food, it was a fantastic dining experience. The service was quick and professional, and the food is to die for! My filet mignon was delicious, and I’d highly recommend everything on the menu… especially the steaks.
