Went there on Sunday, service was good but the pasta I ordered was horrible, it was salty I was going to let the server know, but I didn't want to ruin the afternoon, we took my elderly father for Sunday lunch and he was enjoying the salmon he ordered.. So I just ate some of the shrimp in the pasta and sucked it up Not worth the drive... read more

Was visiting family, flew in from North Carolina, brother and sister live nearby but had never been. I found this place on Yelp. Enjoyed the food very much, large, really large portions. Penne Reggiana was loaded with meat and nice and spicy. All three of us ate a lot and still have lunch for tomorrow. read more

Great first experience. Pizza was great. Chicken Marcella was also very good. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff

Came here after doing a Google search small café area in a busy street limited parking is a downer. We had the chicken Alfredo and lasagna total cost for the dinner was $45 so little pricey especially when I was to go so no drinks included. The Alfredo I have to rave about it was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately lasagna was not it just look like a soup with some group of I don't know what in it so would not recommend lasagna we ordered the food ahead of time and still picking it up took about 10 to 15 minutes so will be returning to try again but can't offer a five star review with the price and the way the lasagna turned out read more

X-large Meat Lovers pizza ordered via Grub hub. The pizza was not bad, but it was "uninspiring" and bland-ish. The antipasto salad I ordered was decent. I won't be ordering any more pizza from this restaurant. read more

Best service ever! The host was amazingly polite and very attentive and nice. Cracked a few jokes very friendly staff! The food is so delicious best italian place I've been to by far! If you love Italian food do yourself a favor! read more

How in the HELL this place has 4 stars is beyond me. My sisters and I were on our way to LAX and we stopped here for some "authentic Italian food"....SYKE! The "garlic bread" was orange and didn't look cooked. Maybe thrown in a microwave to melt the orange butter, but it was soggy and had no crunch to it what so ever. I got a Diet Coke that was $2.25.....come to find out it was a can of soda... For $2.25! Wow. One sister got spaghetti with meat sauce, and it was a decent size of pasta, but had very very minimal sauce. The other sister and I got lasagne to split and it was coined in the menu as "the best in the west" SYKE! The lasagne was sloppy looking in presentation and stouffers tastes 100x better.... Seriously. Towards the end of my plate of lasagne, I bit into something that wasn't supposed to be in the lasagne.... No idea what it was, but I grabbed it out of my mouth and threw it on the plate.... I'll post a picture. Still not sure what it even was. Lastly, we ordered a side of meatballs, which looked great, but my sister ate one bite and put it to the side... Not sure what was wrong with it but she just wasn't having it. (Ps we call her a garbage disposal because she will eat anything lol so that says a lot) To each their own, but this place was not "authentic Italian" by any means. read more

We love their lamb chops dinner along with meat lovers and Dolores pizza! Always fresh when we order delivery and pick up. They're now open for dine in or dine outside! 10 stars for real authentic Italian food! read more

I was really hoping this place would be great, but we came on the wrong day. Valentines day is the worst day to come to this restaurant. We arrived at 12:05pm and did not get our food till 1:10pm. The worst part is that my husband only had an hour lunch and it ended at 1:00pm. We got so excited because we were trying a new restaurant and it wasn't packed. The reason that they gave us for our food taking so long was that since the restaurant is in an industrial area they get a lot of take out orders especially during holidays. The food was good. The turkey avocado panini was good, I just could not finish it because I wasn't really hungry any more. The service was slow but the girls were very nice. We are going to try again in the future. Hopefully I can give it a better review and more stars. read more

I wanted to like it here, but I'm still kinda on the fence about things. Let me start with the fact that the owner is very friendly, courteous & inviting. We walked in with an Entertainment Book coupon. Rag on me if you will, but I mainly use these coupons to try out new places. That way, if I don't like it, I still didnt pay full price. Anywho, my expectations were fairly lowered since I presented the coupon right as we walked in (as the instructions said to do). My complaints are mainly with her staff. That being said, I still had SOME expectations despite our discounted meal. Here's their chance to welcome a new customer and hopefully a regular, right? At the end of the meal, she just brought the check without asking if we wanted anything else. The original plan was to order another soda (they serve in cans) to go and some dessert, being that we saved money on the entrees. Our waitress actually barely checked in on us...but the owner did a couple times. And they had a "beverage girl" who was on top of refilling my iced tea. What really chapped my hide was our bill. When it came, it was $30+. Ok, fine. Discount was not applied yet. Our coupon was for BOGO. Linguine & clams was $15. Prosciutto sandwich was $12. A can of soda + Refillable iced tea $4. I was going to pay cash, but since I was avoiding the math originally I just handed her the coupon & my card. My card comes back charged for $28 and some change. Huh? How'd that happen? The free prosciutto sandwich got us a $2 discount? Umm...With the free sandwich, the bill should have been closer to $20 than $30. I signed the receipt for exactly what the card was run for. In the tip line, I squeezed in "the amount that we were overcharged". So, even with the bad math, cramped dining area, the potentially rotten clam (see my picture below), and failure to offer dessert/additional items, this place still gets 3 stars and I'm on the fence. Why? It was because of the coupon. I admitted up front that my standards were lowered because of it. Food was OK, but I didn't pay full price. They honored my coupon. Owner made us feel welcome. I'd be willing to try them again on a different day/time in hopes of better staff. If I pay full price and get the same thing, then yeah, it will most definitely switch to one star. PS. They also advertised their sandwiches to include "handmade potatoes", but exactly three quarter-sized discs came. They should have said "All sandwich plates include boiled, unseasoned potato garnishes" read more

This place is one of my newest favorites. My local Italian restaurant changed owners and wasn't the same. My wife and I were on the hunt and came across Cafe Corleone through Yelp. Thank you Yelpers for the posts! I grew up eating Southern Italian cooking (Grandma's from Naples) and this is better than the place that changed owners. We've ordered the lasagna, pizza, gnocchi, salads, soups, pasta dishes, calamari, and never had an order that we regretted. The place is a tad on the small side, I believe we call it intimate, but if you've got a little wait, stay there. It's worth any wait. I'm going to be a regular here for a long while. read more

This review is way overdue from last year, but better late than never for a small neighborhood Italian restaurant that has great food and service and is in my neighborhood. I love Italian food, anything with pasta, marinara sauce and cheese, and eggplant parmigiano is a personal favorite and that's what I had. The waitress was very patient (I couldn't make up my mind with all of the great selections) but the choices that my friend and I had were delicious as were the freshly baked garlic and sourdough bread slices. They also brought out some samples of something for us to try (sorry forgot what they served us) that were great and handmade from scratch. The atmosphere is friendly, intimate and family style, and they were nice to include a dessert at no charge as it was my birthday. I'm seeing coupons in the paper recently so if you haven't tried them yet, what are you waiting for? read more

Came to Café Corleone for dinner with my wife was one of the best Italian meals we've had in a very long time the food was fresh and very tasty. The service was outstanding and the price is very comparable read more

I was extremely disappointed with the food. I really thought it was going to be as good as all the GOOD reviews I read but no the food was DISGUSTING. I ordered the lasagna and my partner ordered the penne pasta with shrimp. the lasagna did not have a good presentation, the plate looked dirty and I won't tell you about the pasta. As I was heading to the restroom I took a quick look at the kitchen it was all dirty. Worse experience ever we are never coming back to this place again!! Check out those pictures, they should improve food quality. Service was excellent by the cleaning lady, the other lady had us waiting and standing up to pay read more

The food was really delicious and felt so authentic. They start you off with garlic bread that taste like it's freshly made. It's really soft and had a great taste. I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich and the roll it was on was just so good and the actual cheese and steak were so good I could just taste the freshness of all the ingredients. read more

This place has a quaint family owned feel because it is. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The wife is part owner with her husband the chef. Her name is Alicia and she really makes the atmosphere. She'll recommend a wine and make you laugh. The food is absolutely delicious. We tried the Chicken Vesubio, and Chicken Marsala. Both were perfectly made. We will come back and try the lasagna which we hear is very popular. read more

This is my family's go to spot for italian food. Pizza is very light and tasty. The lasagna and angel hair are amazing! Very pleased.

If you are from the 60s and 70s and lived in Monterey Park, there was an Italian restaurant named Agostino's. One of the dishes I really love was their Clam and Linguini. Since they left Monterey Park I had craved for for their food. I had gone to a few Italian restaurant but cannot find that particular taste. One day a relative of us told us that I should try eating at Cafe Corleone, I was also told that the owner is the same owner of Agostino's. Last week, we finally had a chance to visit this restaurant and I can finally say, that I found what I was looking for, the old Agostino's but at with a different name. It's like a blast from the past. The real clam and linguini I can say the Best ever had, next time, I visit them again I will try a different dish. read more

First time ordering and can honestly say that was one of the best pies I've had out here in SoCal. Mexican pizza did not disappoint (how have I never had chorizo on pizza before?!) and the mozzarella sticks were fire. I look forward to ordering from Cafe Corleone again. read more

The lasagna was super good and cheesy, service was so good and the owner she was so nice and talked to us. Definitely recommend this place for authentic Italian food. read more

I miss going there since moving away. The staff was amazing, and Mama was always a joy to say hello to. The hostess/waitress is and will be always an amazing person to visit. Can't wait to get back to Cali for their great food! Excellent!! RB read more

First of all. Service is AMAZING! Super sweet people , food is wonderful. This place is really good , I would recommend it. It's a small location but prefect and plenty of parking in the back read more

The pizza was good but the dough could be improved. I asked for fresh mozzarella, Italian sausage, Italian meatball, and pepperoni. When I arrived I confirmed my order and noticed that I was not charged for fresh mozzarella. I kindly asked for it on the side since the pizza was already ready. I was told NO! Even though I said I would pay for it just like I would have paid for it as an extra topping. Again, it was a NO. After going back and forth for close to 10 minutes they were able to get this resolved. I arrived home with soggy pizza. Not the best experience! read more

Like someone else said are people getting paid to write these reviews? My boyfriend is a huge Italian food guy & isn't the type to be harsh or picky but the food here wasn't even finishable and by finishable I mean not even appetizing to continue eating oh lord read more

This restaurant felt very much family owned and intimate. The portion is really generous and food is very good. I've been here multiple times and always enjoyed their food. I recommend this place if you're in the paramount area. My only gripe about this place is while its family owned and all the owner or manager still should be more conscious of keeping the establishment clean. Too much dust air vents and other places that I noticed that could be improved read more
