This place is a hidden gem for Italian food. Easy parking, cozy inside, and just a really comfortable vibe overall. We ordered the lasagna and Chicken Marsala, and both were seriously delicious. The flavors were on point and portions were big. We even had leftovers for later. Definitely coming back. read more

Came here early in the week last week with my cousin. It was my first time eating here, but he's been here a few times and orders to-go from them often. First thing I noticed is that it is Sicilian-style Italian food and there are posters from all over Sicily, which was a bit nostalgic for me. Anything from Italy makes me nostalgic. But being in this restaurant really made me feel like I was there. Mi manca l'italia! We were seated promptly by a young man who was molto gentile and were served by a woman working there. I feel bad that I didn't get either of their names but she also was very friendly and helpful in answering any questions I had about the menu and their wine. We started off with some calamari which was perfectly crispy and very delicious. For our entrees I ordered the linguini with clams and shrimp with a class of their sauvignon blanc, and my cousin ordered their lasagna with a glass of chianti. The food and the wine were all so delicious and perfectly paired. I loved finding all the slivers of garlic in my pasta and was even more satisfied to see more shrimp hiding in the linguini. I ordered my dish with the white wine sauce and it was delicious. I did feel like it was missing some flavor, but I'm not exactly sure what flavor that was. It was well seasoned, and garlicky without being overpowering, but maybe some other herb? I'm no help, but I will say I enjoyed my leftovers more the next day. I tried a bit of my cousin's lasagna and thought it was delicious. Personally, he felt there needed to be a better balance of sauce to cheese (he said it was too cheesy/rich), and while I did enjoy the bite I had, I could see what he meant. Good thing we started off with the calamari and some bread because his lasagna was too hot for a long time. For dessert, we split something I hadn't had since I was in Italy over 15 years ago. I did not know what to expect when he asked for the "lemon ice cream" dessert, but now that I know, I'll gladly have one for myself next time. It's Granita al Limone served inside the shell of a lemon. It is DELICIOUS and refreshing without being overwhelmingly sweet or rich. Also, isn't it just cute? Thank you for a lovely dining experience. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for an authentic Italian place to eat at and stumbled upon Cafe Corleone on Yelp. Place looks to have been in business for a while and appears to be family owned which we loved. Inside is in the smaller side, but still had plenty of seating. We visited on a Sunday and was seated right away. All staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Our server recommended the rigatoni barese and we loved it! The dish was simple, but the way it was made was so delicious . We both loved that the sauce wasn't heavy. The pasta was enough to feed 2 people . We also ordered the corleone pizza , also delicious . You can see in the photo they did not skimp on the toppings. We plan to return to try another pasta dish :) read more

FAMILY OWNED: you'll walk in here and feel like you're walking into someone's living room. They have about 7-8 tables and it's kind of small inside. It's somewhat pricey; but it's good. I'd definitely recommend you give it a try for its CHEESY lasagna and their pizza. Everything is made from scratch. The owners daughter served us. read more

This place is amaazing! It's a warm, medium sized diner, it reminded me of a restaurant from the 70s or 80s. The walls are covered with pictures of Italian life, it's dimly lit, and the food is absolutely delicious! I ordered the lasagna, like all their food, it was freshly made. When it was brought to the table, the cheese on it was still bubbling! The owner ia a sweetheart, she greeted me when I came in, and my server was attentive, she checked in on me a few times, and at the end of the meal the owner ensured that I was happy with my food and overall dining experience. I highly recommend this place if you happen to be in Paramount and crave Italian food! read more

Great little family restaurant. Plenty of parking. Reservations accepted but not required. Menu was vast with many options. Must try spot, read more

Would've gave this place a 4 star because they didn't serve any garlic bread like it says on the menu with our pastas and the cheese on the pizza slips right off. Mind you everything including pizza was delicious. I decided to give 5 star because it's truly a family oriented place and the daughter of the mom and pop was super nice and was hosting the whole restaurant. Would come back. read more

Best Italian food restaurant in the area and friendly staff. I've been going to this place for years and it has never disappointed.

Solid Italian food option in the area. We love the family owned vibe and enjoy the extra care they take to answer our questions. We've been here multiple times with and without kids and both times had great and filling meals. Will continue to support this great small business in our community. read more

Looking for a great Italian restaurant? We discovered this gem thanks to an ABC7 Los Angeles interview highlighting this family-owned establishment, and we're so glad we decided to support them. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly welcomed by two of the family owners, who shared the history of the restaurant and offered thoughtful entrée recommendations. That personal touch immediately set the tone for a memorable dining experience. We started with a large plate of garlic toast, then moved on to an incredible spread: Rigatoni with meat sauce, Corleone's Special Pizza, Grilled Pork Chops, Tomato Bisque soup, and Tortellini Emiliana (cheese-stuffed pasta with sweet peas, ham, mushrooms, and a white cream sauce). Although these were individual plates, the portions were truly homestyle--each dish could easily serve two people. Everything was cooked and served to perfection, and as we ate, we all found ourselves nodding in agreement--this food was absolutely delicious. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, dessert arrived. The Tiramisu cake was a party in your mouth, and the lemon ice cream, beautifully presented in a flute glass, was the perfect refreshing finish. If you're tired of commercial, overly Americanized Italian restaurants, do yourself a favor and come experience authentic Italian cuisine made with care and pride. There's plenty of parking, and a helpful tip--if you reach Chase Bank, you've gone too far. We will definitely be returning. Stop by, experience it for yourself, and be the judge--you won't regret it. read more

Hadn't been here in about 6 or 7 years (since my last review in 8 years) and I have no idea why, as this place is just amazing! The servers are very attentive and provide excellent service, often checking up on you. The owners were here as well and the wife checked up on us and asked how our meal was (such a sweet lady) & carried a tiny conversation about how much we liked our meal. As for the food, it is just absolutely delicious! I ordered a large veggie pizza and added pepperoni (I honestly should have ordered a small and it would have been enough but had leftovers for dinner the next night). It was fresh, delicious, and piping hot! My friend ordered chicken fettucini alfredo and he absolutely loved it, saying it had very good flavor without the sauce being super thick and gooey like some places. We also shared an app of mozzarella sticks and they were thick, hot, and freshly homemade! Had plenty of leftovers (everything) for dinner the next night, so I would say it was definitely a bargain at 59.00 (excluding tip). Ah, yes, and forgot the fresh basket of garlic bread brought out before your meal to munch on! read more

It's been a while since I've visited this place but it remains one of my favorite restaurants to grab a slice of lasagna. The flavors are incredible. It's served piping hot out of the oven alongside some garlic bread. We also had the clam and white wine pasta. Everything is delicious! The place is decorated like a small restaurant found in the streets of Italy. They have pictures of Italy all over the place and have some videos streaming as well. The staff is super friendly and can accommodate a reservation if needed. Overall a great place. Come check it out! read more

2nd time back and still amazing. Was glad to see it busy tonight, all tables were full. Started with calamari and mozzarella sticks. Calamari was great. Nice flavor, great crisp, huge portion, it was basically 4 whole things chopped up and fried. I had the tortellini with fresh tomatoes, and the sauce was amazingly fresh. My dad had the manicotti, super cheesy and the sauce again was amazing and fresh. Ordered a small pepperoni and small corleone special. Pizza dough had a good bite to it, mozzarella cheese is really good, but the pepperoni does make the pizzas greasy so ask for some extra napkins. read more

Another place that you wouldn't know it was there unless someone you how great this place is. I'm not from the area but I've passed numerous times and never noticed it. But good thing I was told about this place on how good it was, so I had to try it out. Staff was really friendly and understanding, we got there an hour before closing time, but still took us in, which was greatly appreciated. The decor reminded me of those little restaurants in Italy. Very authentic as well as its Italian owned I was able to try out 2 items.. Chicken Alfredo and the Spaghetti.. I usually end up liking the Alfredo a lot, but this time the Spaghetti and meat sauce was AMAZING.. they were both delicious but the Spaghetti hands hands had incredible flavors. Our waitress recommended other dishes, which I will try next time I go read more

I was blown away by this quaint Italian eatery. Upon entering, the staff warmly welcomed my party, making suggestions for this first timer. Every dish was flavorful, with an appeal that was not only well presented, but had a taste that could only come from love poured out in the kitchen.

When I heard a nonna pick up the phone, I knew this place was going to be amazing. I got the fettuccini alfredo and it was the best alfredo sauce I've had in AGES. The food reminds me exactly of my favorite 5 star Italian restaurant growing up, and since I was in need of comfort food, I couldn't have been happier, and it's a much better price tag. I did not get an opportunity to eat in, because I have an illness that has been keeping me mostly at home but my husband who picked up the food told me it was a cute little place, humble, and with lots of character and very sweet people working. PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT TO THIS RESTAURANT, GOOD ITALIAN PLACES HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARING AND THIS FOOD IS TOO GOOD TO MISS OUT ON! read more

Ordered linguine with calamari. The calamari was charred and the entrée was so hot that I could not eat it. My husband finished his entrée before I could even start to eat it. I burnt the roof of my mouth on the first bite, but the reason we won't be going back is the dirty cobwebs up on the wall and the chairs with loose legs. I could tell the cobwebs had been there a very long time. When the server asked if there was a problem with my meal and I told her it was too hot to eat, I received no response to the problem. read more

I can't say too much about the service or ambiance of Cafe Corleone because I've only ever used Uber eats to get food from here. But I can say the lasagna is amazing here! It's my go-to thing to order. The sauce and cheeses are sooo good and the portion size is big enough that you may have some leftovers. I've also had their meatballs which were pretty good overall but the lasagna is what keeps me coming back. read more
