First, let me repeat what many others have said. I am very excited to have an authentic pizzeria on Beacon Hill! We have waited way too long for such a restaurant to grace us... This was my first visit here. We (5 adults, 2 kids) were here on a Tuesday, 8/9, and arrived there just before 6pm. The place wasn't packed...yet. To start, we enjoyed well executed house cocktails (all $8) in stemless martini glasses as we perused the highly-focused menu. What we ordered: --Baccala Mantecato --Vongole alla Marinara --Suppli al Telefono --Fried Squash Blossoms (on the board special) --Arugula & Fresh Fig Salad --Heirloom Tomatoes & Burrata --Margherita (2) --Funghi --Puttanesca --Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries --Espresso Straciatella Gelato --2 bottles of wine (reasonably priced! $31 & $33) The dining room couldn't be more perfect. Airy, with large windows and an ambience well-suited for the pizzeria. As the crowd gathered around the bar to wait for a seat, it grew louder but at the same time convivial; it felt as if this place had been here all along. By 7pm, the place was packed...on a Tuesday! Everyone in our party is a foodie (all have food and wine backgrounds). The small plates to start were divine. The Baccala was creamy, lightly charred around the edges-thanks to the wood-fired oven imported from Napoli-served with grilled crostini. The Vognole was savory and delicious. The clams perfectly cooked and not chewy. Plenty of broth--forget about bread, just pick the bowl up and drink it! The arancini (risotto balls) were a deep golden brown and beautifully crisp. As we cut into one, the cheese oozed meltingly out. Hedonistically divine. And those delectable squash blossoms? They were stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies--cripsy then creamy with a salty finish. Pizzas are exactly what they were supposed to be. Chewy, lightly charred; I think they are a little bit larger than the competition. Just go. read more

I was thrilled when the dumpy scary pub disappeared and heard rumors that the neighborhood was getting a restaurant. We managed to get in and snag a seat the bar-which is great-in some places in this city it means better service-however that's not what happened with us. We ordered 2 small plates and a salad. It took 35 minutes to get to us at the bar. They didn't drop my husbands food and mine at the same time but came nearly 10 minutes apart. We ordered the arugula salad which was dropped last! I had the octopus and my husband had sausage and beans. The woman working the bar was not only inattentive with us but with everyone-we didn't get our One water glass re-filled and the drink I ordered was so bad I didn't finish it. Right as we got dessert she asked us how we liked it, however it was 45 minutes too late. I live in the neighborhood and was impressed with the food when it showed up but the Bar Del Corso lacks an essential component customer service and execution. It should not have taken 35 minutes for us to get our food at the bar. The girl at the bar also offered my husband water but never brought it. read more

From what I read about this place I was eager to try it. Let me say that this place is not at all aligned with the positive reviews. The food and the service are seriously overrated. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a large crowd waiting by the door. There was no hostess to greet us or take our name down for the waitlist. Waiters and staff were running around frantically. The bar tender was not at the bar. First impression was that this place is disorganized and clumsy. I felt that I was a sucker standing around aimlessly waiting to pay a lot of money for bread and cheese. That's exactly the vibe I got from this place. Next ding: there are only 2 choices for red wine by the glass. I chose a $7 Montepulciano which was pleasant, but I would have preferred to pay $4, and not bc I'm cheap. I bet the rent is cheap in this neighborhood. If you're serving decent wines you can do that for $4/glass without sacrificing too much margin, and patrons will feel welcomed at the door with a sweet wine deal that's easy on the pockets but big on pleasantry. That would go a long way to mitigate the wait. At a minimum give me some more variety for my money. The food was nothing to write home about. My girl and I ordered the meatballs and they were tough (overworked) with little flavor. The sauce felt burned and heavy on the beef stock or wine. I thought it was medicine-like. I would have appreciated a fresher tomato sauce with more acidity to elevate the heaviness of the meat. The burrata with eggplant was pleasant even though the toasted bread was burnt and uneven in spots. I'd order that again if I was compelled to go back here. Last but not least was the pizza. It was forgettable. Actually, it was the worst thing we ordered. I was expecting a lot more flavor from the sauce, and maybe it's because there was barely any sauce on the dough. A few minutes before our pizza arrived, a woman sitting at the table across from us was ladling the sauce from her meatball appetizer onto her pizza. I told my girl that she must really love that (awful) sauce, but after seeing our pizza it was because it was too dry to begin with. Maybe I should have asked for extra sauce. There are better pizza restaurants in town. Bar Del Corso has the facade of a winner, but it was a real letdown. read more

A fantastic open space with large windows and hardwood floors. The wines, linens, and silverware are laid out on open shelving, which reminds me very much of a home kitchen. The pizza was good, not great. I found the crust a bit too tough for my liking and cutting into it with a knife and fork was an upper body workout. The toppings, however, were flavorful and fresh. We shared two pies: a funghi (crimini mushrooms, sausage made in-house, cherry tomatoes and pecorino and fontina) and a fiore di zucca (pesto, zucchini flowers, zucchini, caramelized onions and mozzarella). I usually don't order dessert but the orange polenta cake with rhubarb compote and fresh whipped cream was too tempting to resist. The tartness of the rhubarb contrasted perfectly with the rich cake and cream. It was sublime. Service was very warm and friendly but a little bit slow. We also waited nearly 40 minutes for our table, and we came on a Wednesday night. I suggest putting your name down and going for a walk around the neighborhood or having a drink at El Quetzal down the street while you wait. read more

I would love to review the food but never had the opportunity to try it. We waited for a takeout order for 45 mins only to be told it would be another 15 mins when we got tired of waiting and asked where our food was. The woman that took our order was clearly not feeling well and she forgot to put our order in we were told. I wish we had the opportunity to try your food but the poor customer service and not even as much as an apology left us with a very upset attitude and we will be very reluctant to try again. read more

Local food at its best - great drinks, great service, great food. We loved it the first time, and loved it again the second time, and can't wait until our third time! The style of pizza is our favorite, thin, crispy crust - awesome. But what's even better - the super fine ingredients left to speak for themselves! Right now, you MUST have the squash blossoms - I have to control myself. When it comes to fried food, I have to admit, I am easy to please, but if you can give me fried food that feels light and airy and delicious - I am yours, for sure! Comments from the peanut gallery - "why are you talking about the fried food - that's the only fried thing on the menu?". 'Cause I really love fried food :) But we ordered every salad on the menu, and we loved each one more than the next! Beet, Arugula/Figs, Panzanella, and the Heirloom tomato/burrata salads - in that order. OK - enough gushing, just go - great atmosphere, great people, family friendly, locally owned, locally sourced - we L O V E it! read more

I really wanted to love this place but I don't think I'll be going back for a while. Last night was my second trip to bar del corso, my BF has been there several times and lovesss their pizza. I said okay I'm in the mood for Italian so let's go! The first thing that put me off was that they don't have any pasta dishes. Okay, no big deal I'll find something else! I had the marinara clams and the risotto moz fried delights. The second thing that put me off was that they didn't even have any bread! It would have been such a delight to dip some bread with those clams! Seriously just get a few baguettes daily and sell them for 5x the cost people love bread! I mean this is an Italian place right? The risotto balls were amazing. The clams were SOOOO SALTY. Normally I would just suck it up and eat it but I think 1/4 of the way through my food some of the skin on the roof of my mouth started to burn off from all of the salt. Finally I said screw it and poured the remainder of my water in the clams which DRASTICALLY improved them! (Probably how they're supposed to taste) but now they're cold. Dangit. You guys should just let people salt to taste those dishes. Unless the cook accidentally spilled a ton of salt in there (which seems more likely than conciously putting that much salt in it) It was disappointing. :( I hope this isn't one of those cases where a new place opens up and starts booming and then they lose sight of the quality and service because they know that they are slamming and have a money tree. I would say my review is a 2.5 because the place is cozy and the staff friendly. If there were bread and a salt shaker on the table not dumped into my clams this review would've been more like a 4.5. read more

Deep fried risotto balls=good. Green Beans=Fishy Sausage=omg, disgusting. Pizza=OK I wasn't feelin it at all. It looked promising. I wanted to like it. I will say, it's definitely fresh food. The thing that got me was the presentation of the sausage dish. It was this super long sausage that looked like an old fashioned swirled lollipop. Only meat. It looked like dong. I couldn't even look at it. Further, it was placed on a bed of spinach. I took a photo of it, but damn, it'd be wrong to post it. That dish just took the fun out of eating the pizza. Boo! read more

BEST pizza in Seattle! Seriously.. Flying Squirrel and Tutta Bella are good but Bar Del Corso.. omg delicious!! Not just their pizza but all their other dishes are amazing! We mistakenly came on a really hot day though which also didn't help that we got seated at the bar in front of the chefs cooking away which added more heat! haha.. But it was okay because of the nice waiters/waitresses refilling our iced water constantly and giving me a nice chilled glass of wine. I was so excited to see burrata on their menu so of course we had to start off with it for appetizer then ordered their beets salad to share. For the pizza we both agreed on the funghi (crimini mushrooms and homemade sausage) and we thought about dessert but was so full... until we saw the chefs putting together dish after dish of zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies. Skip the dessert and give us two orders of those instead! Bomb.com.. I don't like anchovies at all but I will eat it if stuffed in a zucchini blossom! ;) Definitely will be back! read more

I just want to start this review by stating the floor staff are genuine and wonderful. Truly not a bad apple in the bunch. The acoustics in the restaurant are abysmal. The sound of adjacent patrons talking loudly to be heard above others seated next to them turned the room into large shouting match. We were seated along the wall so, naturally, all the sound in the restaurant came crashing against the wall like ocean waves. I only wanted to eat a main course quick enough to feel full and then leave. Bar Del Corso is not alone in the category of restaurants with satisfactory sound-proofing, but I would not want to return for a meal unless it was the slowest of nights and we were first-in-first-out. Our waiter took our drink order and then told us the specials. Meat. Meat. What's that? More meat, you say? I had to stop him after "...and topped with a sardine" and ask him about any vegetarian specials. He chuckled, to his credit. "The kitchen could easily remove meat from most of the dishes," he said. Okay, fair enough. I ordered the Romano pizza without meat and added Buffalo mozzarella. Our friend ordered a salad which arrived five minutes before our pizzas. Really? When the pizzas arrived, I looked down at a pizza surface swimming in grease. Everyone else at the table commented on the grease, so I know I was not being a high-maintenance customer. I stopped another server and asked her for paper towels. Yes, that's right: I *blotted* the grease off my pizza at the table in the restaurant. The grease soaked through all three paper towels with ease. The server waited until I finished and then took the greasy towels away. So here is my question for the kitchen staff: was that truly the best you could do for a customer? Did anyone stop to think, "That's a lot of grease for a pizza. We need to fix this so the customer will actually enjoy our work." So there you go, Bar Del Corso: 3 stars. Fix your apathetic kitchen work and I'll give you back 1 star. Fix the acoustics in your dining area and I will gladly give you all my stars. read more

Superb thin crusted pizza, very reasonable prices, tremendous side dishes, excellent cocktails (I can never have just one!) and, rarely mentioned here, they have some whiz of a pastry chef back there that deserves a medal. We have been here half a dozen times, including once dragging my entire family visiting from out of town for a 9 person seating at 5pm just because I needed them to delight in Bar del Corso with me. Literally labor over choosing from all terrific small plate items on the chalk board menu. Their seafood really shines. Our favorites: - rapini pizza - sardine crostini - corno pizza - anything burrata - chocolate cake. THIS CHOCOLATE CAKE. Really lovely service (we bring our toddler, and they are always very accommodating) and great atmosphere - modern/wood driven but not overdone. No reservations, so go early or late and then just chill with a glass of something something. read more

Bar del Corso is the only Italian restaurant on Beacon Hill and a nice change of pace from the other local restaurants. Their small plates are what do it for me here; in no particular order, the polpettine (meatballs) are massively flavorful- the tomato sauce is thick and spicy and the meat tastes almost wild, the mussels come in a complex broth that dazzles, the romanesco & cauliflower- I never dreamed I could crave cauliflower but the texture is just right, the exotic colors, aromas and flavors of the romanesco gin up this simple vegetable to something I could spend a week thinking about. Most people come for their pizzas- I'm a fan of the brick oven and I do like their salame piccante pizza- but most of them are still kind of wet from the vegetables when it arrives at the table, making the crust sort of hard to cut. The décor of the restaurant is simple and straightforward; you've got your basic bar on one side, a couple dozen small wooden tables that they can configure for party size, bare wooden floors allow the noise levels to get pretty loud when the place is full. Daily specials are presented on a small chalk board in the back. Certainly worth a visit when in Beacon Hill. #200 read more

PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! Their pizza is indeed delicious as I'm sure you've read in other reviews. What really sets Bar Del Corso apart from others like Serious Pie, Tutta Bella, Via Tribunali, etc. are their small plates menu. Their pizza is awesome but their small plates are even awesome-er! Some must tries are their burrata, roasted romanesco and cauliflower, fried risotto balls and pretty much anything and everything on their dessert menu. Keep in mind this is a family owned business so service can be a little slow and they don't take reservations. I'd suggest avoiding Fridays and Saturdays altogether unless you're ready for a long wait or get there right when they open. I've even seen it packed on a random Tuesday too. Prepare to be patient and I promise it's worth the wait. read more

WOW! The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars is due to inconsistent and slow service. But the food definitely deserves 5 stars. A few cousins and I were here on a hot Saturday night - the restaurant is really hot on hot days because of their ginormous pizza oven, so cooler days are probably better for a visit here if you don't want to feel like you're in an oven. We ordered about 5 different appetizers/small plates and 3 pizzas. Everything was delightful, but the one element that shines is their cheese. My oh my, their cheese is so fresh and it explodes your taste buds in a way that you simply cannot ignore how amazing it is. A few comments on the dishes: - Burrata dish just melted in your mouth. YUM! - The cauliflower and crispy capers dish was a stand-out. Fantastic blend of flavors and loved the texture of the crispy capers. - The fried risotto balls are amazing. One per person is perfect. - The grilled octopus was well prepared, perfectly tender. - The meatballs (both meat and sauce) were on the salty side but the flavor was nice. - The prosciutto in the melons and prosciutto was amazing. I could eat that meat every day...it was so succulent! The pizzas were mostly fantastic, except the funghi pizza was a bit plain. It seemed that there was only olive oil, salt, and mushrooms. The pizza special of the day was to die for! It had prosciutto shaved on top after being taken out of the oven, and the cheese (like I said above) was so incredibly fresh. I will be adding this to my list of new favorite restaurants, and will definitely come back again for more! read more

Holy heck, Beacon Hill! This and Traveler's, what else is up your sleeve?! I'm 5 starring a place that we waited almost 45 minutes to get seated at 5pm. Because everything else was incredibly delicious/perfect/omgaah yummers/when can we go back quality. This is the place with the custom-built, Italian born pizza oven and heck yes it delivers! I found quite noticeably how flavorful the cheese was, rich and salty and flavorful with veggies on a thin, even crust. Being on my best behavior I ordered a few salads that blew me away. Slightly small on the portions, but still fresh and incredibly flavorful. Great drink list, nice wine selection and dessert is an absolute must. Panna cotta with berries? Perfectly light to finish off a rich dinner. A suggestion (other than the obvious one to avoid the bitchy hostess): Why not place benches outside where people can sit and wait? It's a bit awkward waiting for a table just standing by the door. More seating for people waiting for a table would be helpful. Can't wait to return!! read more

One of the shortcomings of becoming more generous with reviews is that 5 stars doesn't seem to do phenomenal places like this justice. The ingredients and execution of their pizzas are stunning. My family and I find ourselves making comparisons to the best Napoli pizzerias like Di Matteo and Sorbillo. The antipasti bring a tear to my eye. Dustin Ronspies at Art of the Table recommended their meatballs, which are smoky, juicy, and glorious. They have the same wine that my grandmother and I went to Calabria to find, Gaglioppo. The burrata, clams, all the desserts, Moretti on tap... Its hard to put into words how good this is. Our server said she comes here to eat on most of her days off, and I don't blame her at all. I would come here weekly if I lived here. Bravo! read more

I have to agree with another reviewer who said what makes Bar Del Corso superior to some of the other authentic pizzerias in the area are the other items. The fried risotto balls were outstanding and only $5 for 3 and I wished we saved room fo try their desserts. I thought their pizzas were very good, but Delancey took the edge slightly. Although, Bar Del Corso's pizzas are $2 or so cheaper. Also, I found Bar Del Corso to have the better atmosphere. - Out of the Salame Piccante and the Funghi pizza, our favorite was the Salame Piccante. - Got here on a rainy Saturday in February right when it opened at 5pm, and it was just us for the first few minutes, but by the time we left (around 6pm) it was full with a wait. read more

I hate waiting at a restaurant and it bugged me my husband wanted to go to a restaurant that doesn't accept reservations.We showed up at Bar Del Corso at 6:09 PM hoping to grab a table. No luck. We were told there would be a 30-40 minute wait. Let me just say it took 30 minutes and was worth it! From the arrival of the escarole salad, which was mind-bendingly delicious, followed by small plates of mussels, meatballs and clams (served with great bread for sopping up the sauces, and a funghi pizza--we loved every bite. We will definitely be back! If you get there early, you can order a drink and hang out in the waiting area, or have throw in a bit of adventure before dinner by going outside and exploring the neighborhood. read more

Horrible service, worst pizza I have ever tasted. The smell. The smell of this place bothers me and I'm still wondering why people flock to this place. They have odd pizzas and its cooked in a charcoal oven. Could that be bad for you? I think so. Anyway, this place carries a pretense and that must be why there's so much stench in the air. Its unsppetizing! read more

I used to go to the place when it was the Beacon Pub,. I can still see it when I go in. Went on Friday night, good weather, think everyone was dining out that evening. I was warned that the wait would be about an hour from someone else who tried to go earlier in the week and sure enough, it was about 45min. Good thing people in my group arrived late. Food was good, I had the arugula and fig salad and the fava pizza. The pizzas are the thin neapolitan kind but they're pretty big, I could've shared mine with someone. They're also not sliced when served so they give you a big steak knife to cut the pieces into slices. No room for dessert but I hear it's pretty good. The space is really open so it was pretty loud in there. Will probably go back again when the newness novelty has worn off a bit and I don't have to wait so long. read more

My boyfriend took me to Bar Del Corso (my pick) for my bday dinner. We arrived around 7 on Wednesday, and this place was PACKED. We were told the wait would be around 30 minutes (they do not accept reservations), which did not phase me as my heart had completely been set on their famed grilled octopus and suppli al telefono (fried risotto balls with mozzarella). I made my poor boyfriend, who was about to suggest a different restaurant, wait for 30 minutes (I pulled my "It's my bday!" card.), and the wait was well worth it! Here is what we ordered: - Margherita: It had a deliciously charred and light crust with simple toppings. It did not weight me down like the typical doughy pizza would. - Suppli al Telefono: 3 small and crunchy risotto balls with oozing mozzarella inside: I love how tomato-y the risotto tasted. - Grilled Octopus: Inexplicably tender grilled octopus swimming in subtly smokey and flavourful sauce DO NOT WASTE ANY SAUCE. - Vongole alla Marinara: I've always loved vongole!! It is ridiculous how many clams they serve in 1 order. DO NOT WASTE ANY SAUCE. Ask for some crusty bread (which was also delicious) to mop it all up, or do what I did: use the spoon the dish came with to slurp all up. Panna Cotta with strawberry and saba: Creamy, cold, not overly sweet, delicately tangy, and super refreshing! The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous. If you don't mind waiting or eating late (to avoid the dinner crowd), I highly recommend this place! read more

I forgot to take a picture of the pizza......but what an amazing addition to the Beacon hill / Columbia city food scene. The food is well prepared and the menu offers a great variety of small plates (highly recommend the burrata with sexy sea salt and the crostini). The pizza....dynamite! We feasted on their salame piccante and margherita pizza. Not a soggy bottom, great flavor and excellent crust. Wasn't able to save room for desert. Also, full bar and 3 beers on tap. Whoa mamma.....can we eat again?? read more

Bar Del Corso - Small plates! ( burrata, crostini, polpettine) - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious food in a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. The suppli al telefono (fried risotto balls with mozarella) was SO GOOD - Crunchy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside. I also enjoyed the vongole alla marinara (clams) which was a good deal for so many clams - make sure you have enough bread to sop up all the sauce. We tried the special pizza - tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. The pizza was surprisingly big; the prosciutto was tender, buttery and perfectly salty and the crust was nice and chewy. My only complaint is that I wish the pizza came pre-cut. We got seats right away at the counter at 8:30pm on Saturday but would have had a short wait for a table. The bartender/server was attentive and friendly. I love that the restaurant had an open kitchen and there were appliances and bottles of wine along the wall - I felt like I was in someone's home. Not much to do around the restaurant (suppose it makes for easier parking) but worth a trip. read more

I considered rating this with fewer stars just to try to keep people away but that simply wouldn't be fair to BDC. Bar Del Corso is pretty much perfection. The wood fired pizza and cocktails are delicious. The menu is stocked with both seafood and items that landlubbers will enjoy. Some of the best salads of my life have been enjoyed at this establishment - particularly the tomato mozzarella salad in August. The only thing that I can think of that might improve BDC would be to slice the pizza. It's currently served with a knife, but with a large (hot) circle that just came out of the fire, it's difficult to cut, serve and eat. I'm sure it's more authentic to serve it whole and with a knife - but this is 'merica! Go, enjoy - but try to save a table for me, okay? read more

I love this place! It's really a hidden gem in Beacon. My girlfriends and I came here on a weeknight for dinner and drinks. Really loved the space, but boy was it hot when we were there (must have been the brick oven where the pizza was cooking). It's in an old building therefore, no AC. Our server was real down to earth. We ordered the risotto cheese balls, grilled octopus, burrata and the fungi pizza. I also had the Anisette cocktail. Everything was perfect. We were so full but got tempted into ordering the bing cherry polenta cake with fresh whipped cream. The texture and lemony flavor was delicious. I can't wait to go back again. read more

margherita pizza with the buffalo cheese grilled octopus yum and yum!! the puttanesca was not as good as the margherita pizza so it was hard to choose. I wouldn't order the puttanesca if you don't like sardines/salty foods. it's pretty damn salty, but for the sodium lovers, it is amazing!!!!! I love this place. hands down the best pizza place in SEATTLE!!!! read more

The restaurant is pretty hard to find but when you do... what a win! I had originally found Bar del Corso while reading a magazine on the best food in Seattle and got super excited when I read the reviews and the menu, but when I looked up the location on Google maps I was super disappointed when I didn't see anything on the street view. Long story short I just drove over, parked and asked around. Its there on the west side of the street. Go find it! Its delicious! The place was really busy and the whole restaurant had a great vibe. Everyone talking and everyone moving their food. I've been a couple times, and I can say that its pretty hard to go wrong. (Just FYI, it can get pretty busy and they dont take reservations so you might have to wait a little while =P) The pizzas are all old fashioned style, wood-fired pizzas and therefore thin crusted and slightly chared. The sauce and toppings are minimal and thinly spread over the surface of the crust. All the ingredients are fresh and the pizza is served straight out of the oven. Here is a break down of the things I've tried so far: Pizzas: Margherita: Classic pizza, made well. Simple but I'd say the other two choices below are much tastier. Funghi: I liked the Funghi the most and I am a fan of mushrooms, especially crimini's. Manila Clam: Pretty garlicy which sits well with me and has a strong seafood taste, as one imagine from the clams. Clams, garlic and parsely in a tomato sauce. Appetizers: Suppli al Telefono: Rissoto/mozzarella that has been breaded and fried. I'd say this is my favorite of the appetizers. I think you are served three rissotto balls, which are relatively large (8-9cm across). Crispy on the outside and cheezy on the inside. (careful though, they are pretty hot when served) Baby head lettuce beets and gorgonzola: The salad itself is small but ha a lot of flavor, I especially liked the goronzola on top and the beets add a nice texture to the dish. Definitely not enough for a meal but a good way to start off before getting into the pizza Dessert: I've had two desserts but I think they change the menu every once in a while. One was a vanilla ice cream with local berries which is always good but not particularly unique to this restaurant, and the other was the panna cotta. which was also very good. The portion is reasonable, but I'd say that its best to order one to share with a friend. both are pretty sweet but eating the whole dessert can be a little overwhelming after having dinner. =] Happy eating! read more

The pizza here is excellent and so are the small plates but attention can be paid to customer service for sure. We have been a couple of times and waited two hours last night for a table..we were told 45 min to an hour. It just felt like they didn't know how to manage the floor and the staff came across as though they didn't need the business, which is surprising since they are so many similar restaurants in Seattle now.. Needless to say, we probably won't be back. read more

I was craving pizza on the way to the airport and had a little extra time to kill. So I put on the Waze Bar Del Corso and headed that way. Parking is a little strange, especially for someone who is not local, since they don't have a lot. I did find a spot a couple of blocks away in a residential section. I chose to park across the street from a house where people were partying and drinking on the step. No big deal, it was a rental car and I have the insurance. Inside the waitress was super friendly upon telling her it was my first time. She explained the menu and I ordered a Funghi pizza and Punterella alla Romana. The pizza was perfectly cooked and just the right amount of char on the crust. For the record, the pizza oven in the back of the kitchen is absolutely beautiful! The salad was good, but not memorable. It is amazing to see the number of high quality pizza kitchens in the Seattle area. From Beacon Hill to Northgate there are amazing options available. I give credit to the now gone Piecora's pizza for providing Seattle with the bar for quality pizza! What did I learn today? The party was kept to the lawn. Rental car safe! read more

Really really delicious. The pizza itself- delicious- like Via Trib. But one thing it's got over Via Trib is delicious, complex flavors. We had a special calabrian sausage over greens that was hearty and delicious. We also had the puttanesca pizza- which if you are a fan of anchovies, you will LOVE LOVE this pizza. For dessert, we had a buttermilk panna cotta, which was amazing! The panna cotta had a creamy consistency, was drizzled with balsamic (which normally I hate it on desserts) but it almost tasted chocolately, and blueberries and raspberries. DELISH! drawbacks: very very full. Show up early and be flexible to sit at the bar or you may wait 40+ mins. read more

Just dropped in for a quick meal before flight out of seatac. Early 5:10. Slammed and way to much energy for any meal. Just had a pizza. Dough was not cooked as far as it should have. Little heavy on salt. read more

Hooray! Beacon Hill finally has a pizzeria. As much as I love light rail, it has made Rainier Ave seem too far away from us. So to find a good restaurant, we've been going all the way to the International district. The pizza was great. The wait staff was great. I loved my beets with Farro' They make their own gelato, which was cold and hard (my only disappointment) but it was really delicious!! Good price, lots of attention to detail, great food! we'll be back. read more

Sooooooooooooooo good! This might sound weird, but this place made the best vegan pizza that I have ever had!! It was an item on their menu that came with specialty olives, specialty peppers, anchovies and chilli oil. On the menu it comes sans cheese, but I think there is an option to add cheese, but it does not need it. So I just ordered it with out the anchovies and it was to die for and totally vegan. I am not vegan my self (I'm just vegetarian) but I didn't miss the cheese at all. My sweetie is vegan so I can't wait to bring him back to try this pizza. The pizza was so amazing but so was the salad and the desert and the beer!! You gotta go! read more

Yes yum and will be back soon .... lemon drop was perfect.... salad was amazing .... all appetizers were scrumptious... I like the Feel of the place..... had I sat down with friends I would have ordered the pizza ....

I was heartbroken when Atlantic St Pizza disappeared. Bar Del Corso has helped mend the loss. Don't miss the Burrata & Rapini small plate or the Escarole salad. That said, the Romana pizza is goddamned perfect. Tangy, oily olives and sweet salty anchovies that perfectly counterbalance the peppers and chili oil. Keep the menu small and the quality superior. Bar Del Corso nails it. read more

Bar Del Corso knows what's going on. Good food + decent prices + a casual yet still cool atmosphere = a winning combination in my book. Add to that super easy street parking and no waiting for a table for four at 7 pm on a Saturday? I am definitely sold. The Ortolana pizza (greens, coppa, smoked mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes) was our table's clear favorite. Smoked mozzarella on pizza is just a genius idea. The crust was thin but still chewy--my favorite style. I would say the pizza here is comparable to but better than Delancey (which is a little bit too pretentious for my tastes). The small plates were also good. We tried the prosciutto and melon (definitely too big for one person) and the mussels. Next time I come I'll sit at the bar, where you get an excellent view of the wood-fired pizza oven in action. read more

Amazing food, including daily specials that always feature seasonal items used in interesting ways. Lovely outdoor seating that is reservable. read more

This is a great little neighborhood Neapolitan-style pizza joint located in the culinary wasteland of Beacon Hill. I like the look and the feel of the place: high ceiling, tall plate glass windows overlooking the street, hardwood floors with simple wooden tables and chairs, a bar on one side of the restaurant and the gourgeous pizza oven on display in the corner. It's a cozy and inviting place. The food was great, but, ironically, the pizza wasn't the star off the show. The suppli al telefono (deep-fried rice balls filled with mozzarella and named so, because when you pull them apart the strands of cheese resemble telephone lines) are fantastic. As was the crostino; a nice slice of artisan bread topped with onion confit and a fresh, grilled sardine. We decided on the salad of lightly sauteed spinach, with pinenuts and golden raisins, simply spot on. At this point in the meal, del Corso is about as good as it gets for dining in Seattle and a definite competitor with other, better known restaurants in town. But then, this being primarily a pizza joint, we need to talk about the pizza. Please don't get me wrong, it's good pizza (easily as good, if not better than Via Tribunali and Tutta Bella) but after experiencing the highs of the starters, it feels a little like a let down. I like the small, but thoughtful options on the menu. The toppings are wonderful. I had the spicy salami (very generous with fresh mozzarella) and my friend had the vegetarian special. But for us, the let down was the crust; it was slightly too salty and, oddly enough, because it had a good char, slightly doughy and limp. Once again, this is serious nitpicking. It's not like I couldn't eat it and didn't eat the leftovers the next day at home. But given how on the mark everthing else was, the pizza seemed a little off that mark. So, whatever you do, don't skip the starters! Order two or three and then split a pizza, they're fairly large anyway. Good wine list and full bar, too. Fills up quickly, by 5:45 there wasn't a seat to be had. read more

There is something very warm and inviting about this restaurant. Perhaps, the smell of freshly cooked pizza traveling from the wood oven (which is an amazing piece of art btw) that draws people in, or the beautifully grown herbs and tomatoes in the backyard patio, or the crafty cocktails here, whatever it is, there is something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the plate of salami that comes with a side of bread. There was also the huge 12? 15? In pizza that was plenty for the two of us to share. We wrapped the night up with some dessert- the plum polenta was moist and fruity. I enjoyed taking a bite or two of the bfs panna cotta too, also very delicious. I would not leave this place without trying their dessert! read more

Bar Del Corso - Salami!! - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow, SO GOOD! Seriously. The clams, mussels, meatballs, fried risotto balls, butternut squash, all their pizzas - insanely delicious. We definitely saved the broth of the clams and mussels so we can dip some bread in it. You should do the same. It's too good to give up. I think we kind of got super defensive about them trying to take away those plates because the broth was so good. Service was also great. Non-intrusive and attentive. Waters always refilled and really seemed to care if we liked the food. Big A+! read more
