Corso's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in North Olmsted

We decided to give this place a try as it has been recommended by more than one local. So far, the best local Italian food. And not overpriced and "genuine" like Olive Garden. This stuff was actually real Italian. We're quite likely to visit again.

Edit: Visited again for the prime rib special. We ordered the calamari app, a prime rib with fries and a jumbo shrimp with baked potato.

It took 4 butter pats, all of the sour cream, the rest of the herbed butter from the bread, a great deal of salt, pepper, and parmesan to get the potato edible. The cocktail sauce was very horseradish forward, but I hate cocktail sauce and horseradish, so I don't know what I was thinking.

My husband's steak was as rare as he likes it, and he had no complaints. We both enjoyed our salads, and the calamari will bring us back for more.

We haven't ordered dessert from them yet. I'd love to some time.

The atmosphere was quite lively, and there was a healthy din in the place compared to last time. Of course, we were the youngest people in the joint aside from two grandkids. (We're...

I will start with the very old, dingy decor and lack of customer service. I ordered a Caesar salad with extra croutons. I overheard the waitress ask the other about croutons. First they brought salads and bread for the two people with me. White bread that looked to have been just taken out of a bag. Then the waitress brought us the wrong tables food. After that out food was delivered. My salad was a few leaves with Caesar dressing and a pile of that wonderful white bread chopped into large chunks and warmed, which of course just made the few leaves warm. This was a $10 salad. The side salads delivered earlier were actually better. When the waitress came to pick up the plates she saw the pile of bread sitting on the side and as she walked away mumbled “well you asked for extra croutons”. What kind of waitress abs restaurant doesn’t know what croutons are. Definitely not moist warmed bread. If you want dark, dirty decor, bad food and bad attitudes this is the...

First the one positive: our server (blond woman, called #5 on our receipt) was wonderful. She was attentive and pleasant, not overbearing. Unfortunately, there were several negatives. The atmosphere is dark and kind of depressing; nothing cheerful about the room and also a lingering odor of gas while we were eating. The bread that comes with the meal is terrible- not heated, just plain white bread with no flavor. The salad was pretty good. We ordered a liter of chianti, which was nice as well. The two entrees were very disappointing. The dish they call pasta Primavera had only broccoli and cauliflower in it, and the sauce was like a tomato vodka sauce, which isn't right for that dish. Also the dish was lacking flavor. The shrimp pasta with pesto was much worse - baby shrimp which were obviously frozen, and the "pesto" was a pool of oil with a bunch of tiny basil bits in it. The dish had almost no flavor. I've had better food at a diner. What a...
