Corso Italian

Our first time visited Corso Italian but will not be our last. We came on Monday and they’re having Molto Monday where every pasta is only 15, all day. If you come Monday-Friday 3 to 7pm, they also have happy hour with 5 bites. We definitely enjoyed that!

I went with my family and everything here was delicious!!!!! You can tell that everything is made from scratch and with quality food. The mussels were incredible and all the pastas. Also, my nephew is highly allergic to dairy and eggs. The servers were very nice and helpful by giving us options for him. All excellent

Pleasantly surprised with this pick for brunch. The best bargain is the 29 AYCE option. The options are vast and delicious. We had rigatoni bolognese, cannoli, American bacon eggs, eggs benedict (two variations), pasta pesto, burrata, cold cut sandwich, and ricotta pancakes. The only one I had a problem with was the fettuccine alfredo. It wasn't Al dente and it lacked seasoning. Our server Jum was pleasant and attentive. We will return soon enough.

This Italian restaurant is such a hidden gem! Their pasta tastes truly homemade — fresh, flavorful, and comforting. I wouldn’t mind a touch more protein Their happy hour is a fantastic deal — every dish we tried was tasty, and the drinks were well-priced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed night out. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

Located in Shirlington, I never have too many issues finding parking, there's plenty of street parking and garages around. We made a reservation and they service was great. We did have a small issue after we ordered the Arancini where it didn't come up till after our entrees because I think it was forgotten but they ended up taking it off our check and apologizing. I ordered the Lambrusco Flight which wasn't bad but I didn't really enjoy the Rosso. All drinks came out fairly quickly. My friend ordered the Corso Sour which was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the Campanelle Alla Romana and my friend ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs with extra sauce on the side. They came by with extra fresh parmesan. Everything was delicious and I definitely would like to come back to try additional items. I did also order the French Fries with garlic, parmesan and Italian herbs. The fries were crispy but wish there was a little more flavor or tossed in more of the garlic. For dessert I opted for the Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake which was great and would have paired well with some coffee. It was quite sweet but still tasted great. Overall great service and good food.

My boyfriend and I came for the 29 bottomless brunch earlier today. And EVERYTHING was amazing!! From looks to taste, it was all perfect! Our waiter, Scott, was so kind and amazing and provided the best service we could have hoped for with it being our first time going. After hearing about the other special nights from Monday-Wednesday we definitely are planning to be back for dinner service... and definitely for more brunch dates together _

Just wow! Came here Saturday afternoon and stumbled upon their all-you-can-eat brunch. For 29 a person you get to try an incredible variety of freshly made pasta, brunch dishes, and other Italian delicacies. Highlights included the Burrata Caprese (so, so fresh — each tomato was perfectly ripened and sweet), the Fettuccine Alfredo, the Spaghetti al Pesto, the ricotta pancakes, and the cannoli. The service was impeccable too - our waitress was so nice and attentive. We will definitely be coming back here again soon, next time to try their dinner menu!

My recent visit to Corso Italian Restaurant in Shirlington, VA, was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment my group arrived, we were warmly welcomed by JR, who set the tone for the experience with an exquisite wine tasting and cheese pairing. The Robiola Bosina cheese was my personal favorite—its creamy texture and rich flavor were divine—though the truffle cheddar was also a standout. The Avoglia Fiano white wine was light, crisp, and perfect for a spring or summer evening, while the Avoglia Primitivo red wine was smooth and paired beautifully with our Oxtail Ravioli entree. Before being seated, we were treated to a selection of spritzers, including the Shagliato, Hugo, Aperol, and Lambrusco Spritz. While each was visually stunning, my personal favorite was the Hugo Spritz, thanks to its delightful Elderflower liqueur touch. For starters, we enjoyed a generous spread: Gamberi Fritti, Seared Tuna Crudo, Whipped Ricotta, Little Gem Caesar, and Burrata Caprese. As a self-proclaimed “cheesaholic,” I gravitated toward the Burrata Caprese, which featured fresh, juicy tomatoes and a light balsamic dressing—a simple yet flavorful dish that I absolutely loved. Our entree selection was equally impressive, with dishes like Oxtail Ravioli, Lobster Ravioli, Orecchiette with Sausage & Broccoli Rabe, and Pan-Seared Scallops with Mushroom Risotto. The unanimous favorite? The Pan-Seared Scallops with Mushroom Risotto—perfectly cooked scallops over a rich, creamy risotto that left everyone at the table raving. Just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, we indulged in an array of desserts: Mascarpone Cheesecake, Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake, Fig Leaf Panna Cotta, and the Circus Maximus Sundae. Somehow, we found room to savor every bite, and the Circus Maximus Sundae stole the show! We wrapped up our lunch with Espresso, Frangelico, and Espresso Martinis, the perfect way to end an incredible meal. Corso Italian Restaurant offers a gastronomic experience that is both refined and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to enjoy delicious food and drinks while catching up with friends. Its prime location in the heart of Shirlington makes it a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back!
