The bread ( which is said to be the best) had no taste. The chicken parmigiana was also lacking in taste. Well besides the burnt crust taste. The only saving grace was the meatballs. Those were very good. I probably won't be going back. read more

This has got to be the best italian restaurant I've ever been to! That garlic bread JESUS CHRIST was amazing. My tortellini was very fresh and their portions were very generous. And the service was great. Café Corleone has gained a new happy customer here! read more

Small little place. Felt cozy and welcoming. I'm not a fan of marinara sauce but the marinara sauce we got with our fried calamari was the best I've ever tasted. It was to be home made. I want more... read more

If you're looking for a place with great food with a good portion that has a reasonable price, Cafe Corleone is the perfect place! I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. read more

I ordered the shrimp scampi and personally was not my favorite. The size of the shrimp was great but the side could have been more. Also, the sauce was not good. It was just a lot of olive oil. The restaurant was full of fruit flies which made the experience a bit unpleasant. read more

This place is awesome! So far every dish I tasted is really really good, I ty to have something different every time and it's always delicious. read more

Amazing place. Small, quaint and family owned. Authentic Italian place. If you want to have the best lasagna you ever had you must visit this place. We found it through yelp because our kids wanted spaghetti. Let me tell you our kids swallowed the spaghetti and we also ordered a pepperoni pizza. It's a must try. read more

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD MADE FRESH! I consider Care Corleone a hidden gem and word needs to get out :-) They serve the very best Italian food I've ever had and I haven't been able to find any other place in LA county as yummy! Definitely worth the drive! Their spaghetti and meatballs are awesome. read more

I had a horrible experience at this place tonight. I took my boyfriend and my my mom out to get some Italian food, and from service to food, everything was bad. We were sitting for 30 minutes before we got any sort of attention or water. We decided on mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. The marinara sauce was literally cold; not warm, COLD. then when my moms pizza came out her pizza was cold. We asked to put it back in the oven and when it came out we all tried a bite and it was soggy and not very good in general. My ravioli was cold and the sauce was so watery it was just unappetizing. It seemed like they just threw 5 pasta squares microwaved it and sent it off. My boyfriends tortellini dish was the best of the three entrees we ordered and it still wasn't that good. The place was so understaffed it was laughable. There was one server for about 15 tables and just getting her attention for anything at all was difficult. And then the wait for anything asked for was a minimum of 10-15 minutes. For a 3 person dinner we were there almost 2 hours. Just getting the check and paying for food was 20 minutes. We literally couldn't wait to get out of there. It's a shame as well, we've come here before and the food was good and service was great. But when the place is full I would highly recommend going literally anywhere else. read more

My family and I drove 2 hours to have dinner here! My sister recommended it and we loved it!! The atmosphere is nice and comfortable. Very friendly people who hustle! I believe it's family owned and operated. It was AUTHENTIC ! Delicious food and bread!! Tried the lasagna, fettuccini chickeN Alfredo, pizza and angel hair pasta... amazing dishes. Great experience, will definitely be back! read more

I have run several Italian Restaurants as Executive Chef, so I know good Italian food when I have it and this is not the case here. I went in around 2:00pm and it is dead and there was only one other table with 2 people at it. I ordered Tortellini Alfredo a dish that you can make in 3 minutes. It took 25 minutes for the dish as well as the cheese bread. It was average and the cheese bread was burnt on the bottom. The thing that bothered me the most was not the dirty fake garlic cloves or the dirty empty wine bottles hanging on the air ducks or the real cheese movies posters. It was the old man in the corner who looked like he just rolled out of bed staring at me during my whole meal, I heard he was the owner.Also I notice that they setup at one of the table is there office with all these papers all over the place in the corner. Not very Professional at all! At one point I had to go to the bathroom and it seemed like the old man was in there shaving for 20 minute's while I was waiting to go. So if you really think that this place is cute and you like real cheesy and below average food and very slow wait staff then this is your place. But if you want real Italian food then go some place else! read more

You must try this place it speaks for itself. Fabulous you must try it service is very good and atmosphere is so old Italian read more

Cafe Corleone - Gooood - Italian Near Me - Paramount, California

My pizza was not good. I hate to give this review because the lady was so nice. Maybe ill try the pasta next time.

Fabulious!!! Caprise (spelling?), pasta with mussel, linguine with clams, Lasagna all seasoned to perfection and not over done. The cook is actually Italian! Wine from the regions are all so delicious, my persons favorite is the Chianti! I have eaten here several times and always wonderful. The owner has always been present and usually stops at the table to say hello or give you a history of the food. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. read more

Good authentic Italian food. They make you feel very welcome. Damm right Best Lasagna in the West !!!

Delicious birthday dinner for Randy. penne with sausage and chicken in a light red sauce, i had the Linguini vegetarian (w added chicken for good measure) absolutely delicious. will return for the Italian regional all you can eat once a month menu specials. good job read more

Cafe Corleone - Chicken Marsalis wonderful. - Italian Near Me - Paramount, California

I'm not sure if this restaurant has any ties at all to the old restaurant that was there a long time ago, Piggy's Pizza but they've kept the same tradition in pizzas. I haven't tried any other dish but the pizza but the the pizza is great. Sauce is not too sweet which is a problem with a lot of pizza places. The dough has a good taste and the cheese is awesome. For the pizza alone I give the 4 stars. read more

Food is so good and authentic. Staff is super friendly, warm, and welcoming. You really feel like you are eating at someone's Italian home. Will definitely be visiting again. read more

This place is SO Good!!! I had the Penne Gamberetti. When I it came out, I thought I'd save half for later, but I ended up eating everything on my plate. Everything tastes so fresh and authentic that it blows any other Italian restaurant out of the water. Everyone was so nice and kind, you can tell that they take pride in serving great quality food and taking care of their customers! read more

First time trying this place out, and it was amazing!!!! The fettuccine Alfredo is on point and so is the friendly service @cafe Corleone keep up the good work! read more

Lamb chops were bomb diggity! Fresh bread with a whole lot of spaghetti and giant meatballs. The garden salad left a lot to be desired but really good food. Small seating but went in right away and food was served fast. read more

Probably the best Italian I've ever had , the lasagna is to die for! The environment is also very warming and Italy.

I love this place! Good food and friendly owners! Seems like I get there every couple of months, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for dinner, and I've never been disappointed! read more

I've got a restaurant you can't refuse. Okay... still venturing through my new town, my family and I decided to go out for lunch. I wanted to try this new little place just down the street from our new home... CAFE CORLEONE, the name caught my eye as I drove by day by day. I guess it reminded me of my husband's favorite movie, The Godfather. It's the cutest little place. Straight outta the movie!!! The tables were covered with red & white checkered cloth just like the scene where the chief of police gets killed by Al Pacino!!! Anyways... We ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, Rigatoni w/ Meat sauce. But the BEST thing I've ever tasted since forever... Risotto w/ Spinach. It's the most creamiest, cheesiest, yummiest thing ever!!! It even knocks out the ol' favorite chicken paella (Sorry Enrique!). According to Good Morning America, they have "One of the Best Pizzas in LA". I wouldn't know, I haven't tried it yet, BUT I just ordered one for lunch today... so I'll be updating this review soon. Anyhoo... Great new restaurant, if you're in the neighborhood, check it out! No, on second thought, make a trip out to Paramount JUST TO check this restaurant out!!! Again... LOVE the RISOTTO!!! read more

I came here awhile ago during January to take my Winter Formal date out to a nice dinner before going to the dance. I was really nervous about picking a good place so the night could be memorable in a good way. I decided to pick the Cafe Corleone because of the good reviews it received on yelp. So I made reservations a couple of hours ahead before the time we would come over. The night started off well until we got there. When we walked in the atmosphere was very lively and full of Italian scents coming from the kitchen in the back. We weren't greeted by anyone who worked there and weren't acknowledged until we had to harass a worker five minutes later who was chatting with another worker casually. (This all happened while my date and I were dressed formally, with me in a tuxedo and her in a beautiful dress.) The waitress then seated us in a very crampt corner of the restaurant and then forgot about us for nearly fifteen minutes. I understood that it was a very busy Friday night, but most of the time the staff was merely socializing the night away. We then were able to receive some bread and olive oil, It was fairly good but it only kept us content for awhile. We both ordered our food and received it after a lengthy period of time. However, to my date's disgust she found an odd long hair her pasta dish. She was disgusted and just wanted to leave to the dance. We tried to complain but the owner was busy drinking and socializing with some large party of people. I insisted that the night could possibly get better if we ordered a tiramisu because she had never tried it before. She was reluctant to stay, but I eventually got her to stay. We ordered it and when we received it, it was frozen solid as if it was sitting in there for a day or two. We were both angry and decided to leave. I recommend not coming here if you plan on trying to take a loved one out for dinner. My date and I will never return to this restaurant again. read more

GOOD FOOD!!! pizza is amazing. Cute little Italian restaurant love the style and decor. Nice friendly service. Fast service. Definitely coming back. read more

I was expecting the same great experience I had at the location in Downey, epic fail. I took my parents out for lunch, the place was absolutely empty on a Friday afternoon. That should of given us a clue. The place has an old house scent, and don't seem updated. Ok, I try to ignore the fact that the place don't look very appealing. The food was ok. Not as good as the Downey location. The service was good, can't complain just the lady or waitress( I don't know if she's the one in charge) was into watching the boring tv channel. Walking to the restroom in the back of the place, you can see the kitchen absolutely filthy. Yes filthy. I honestly wouldn not go back, the check was over $65 for party of 3 lunch. Honestly it's not worth$20 a plate. read more

Check your food before you eat it!!! I would give this joint a perfect 5 out of 5 but it doesn't deserve it. A few months back I took my family out for lunch and I told them how amazing CAFE CORLEONE was...15 minutes in...the server brought us really moldy bread (MOLDY HAMBURGER GARLIC BREAD) before the entrees. We called her over and she swiftly took it back and gave us a new batch. RIDICULOUS. Maybe it was an OFF day for the cooks? Either way, they should not have served us CRAP. ALWAYS check your food! read more

We will never come back to this place again. I had bought this on a groupon and unfortunately it had expired. Apparently, you can still use expired groupons at the business but I was told otherwise. I had actually contacted the restaurant prior to arriving to dine for dinner for a Sunday, the gentleman I spoke with(didn't catch his name) said that yes we can redeem for the groupon just be sure to tell your waiter. I also mentioned and read to him that the groupon was expired and what the "deal" was. The gentleman still responded that is fine. We arrive to this tiny shack that I almost drove past and walked in to see that there were only two tables seated. The décor was dreadful, Chef Ramsey really needs to be present and call it an abomination, that is how bad it was. The hostess/server told us to sit anywhere we like. We chose a table against the wall and sadly of all tables I chose for us to sit at, it is dirty. The table cloth itself is dirty, I didn't even feel comfortable leaving my purse on the table. Now to the menu, I will admit there is a lot of variety. So much that I took almost 30min to decide what to get. We started with an appetizer, Insalata Caprese, mind you I never had it but my lover has. ...uhm, we didn't know what to think of it. He said it wasn't good, I had to drench the vinaigrette to settle the overwhelming taste of pepper. Prior to that, they offer complimentary garlic bread and it brags how they have the best in the city. Who ever is claiming it needs to try again, we had two baskets and the consistency was not the same between the two. Onto entrees, I tried the lasagna and my love got the meat lovers pizza. He wanted the alfredo but the reviews from yelp were allll negative, yes every single one of them. We sat next to a family and noticed the pizza looked really good, so that is why he got the pizza. Ugh, dreadful mistake. The pizza came and looked just ok, for one, the Canadian bacon was cut very thick and not chopped into mini pieces, not appealing at all. And then the crust literally was so thin it was like using a flat sheet of white paper and putting 3 pounds of cheese on the sheet of paper and that was just for one slice. My golly goodness, it was too much damn cheese. I love cheese and I wouldn't even try the pizza. I wish I took a picture but my phone died. He had a two slices and my poor boo boo nearly died from a cheese heart clog and was done. The lasagna was decent, I definitely appreciate Olive Garden a lot more now. Again, best lasagna in the city they brag, another sin going unpunished. Time to go, I guess the owner handles all transactions because she came over and says we took the $20 off the bill and the remaining balance is $23. My groupon was $20 for $40. I asked her why is it only $20? I called the previous day and was told that the expired groupon was still ok to use and still worth the same amount. The owner said, no because it is expired and we can only do face-value. It made no sense, hence why I called the previous day. This lady wasn't budging. So I just paid the bill and left no tip. The establishment needs remodeling and better owners. Most of the meal, the owners had a baby in the open, I don't know if she was babysitting but she definitely needs to make her ends meet. She isn't quitting her day job no time soon. We boxed the pizza and I asked my lover was he going to eat that? He responded no, so we left it on the curve for somebody to get it. I wouldn't be surprised if some homeless person opened it up and started cursing because he/she knows how disgraceful the pizza is. Guess we will be sticking to Pizza Hut for; in this case, quality pizza with taste. read more

The only reason I went to this place is because they offered a deal on Groupon. And I probably didn't do the food justice by ordering takeout. Bottom line, the food was really good. If I was in the area again I would definitely go. I got the linguini with clams, fried calamari, and the lasagna, which easily fed my family of 3. read more

I really don't know how ppl keep coming here the food is nasty. The food taste like it just come out of the freezer yuck!

Food is decent my pasta was drenched in sauce that was watery it looking like my pasta was swimming in a pool of oily spaghetti sauce but the rest of the food we ordered was decent service the only other problem was the pizza not really a problem but the pizza was bland not really special honestly if you're looking for pizza just go to dominos,pizza hut, papa johns, or even little Cesar's read more

WOW! I discovered this little gem about a month ago and have now eaten here three times. The dishes I have tried so far are the lasagna, the chicken marsala, and the spaghetti with meat sauce. I have to say that each of these dishes was the best of their kind I have tried in the dozens and dozens of Italian restaurants I have eaten at in the L.A.-Orange County area over the decades. The house salad and garlic bread were also top rate. BTW, if you care about atmosphere, this place has the feel of a legit New York/New Jersey Italian joint. read more

My gf is an Italian food fan, which pretty much makes me an Italian food fan. One night after finally sleeping off hangovers from jager bomb contest, the gf wanted me to bring her some italian food. Cafe Corleone has a menu that offers a little of everything italian. They also serve wine but charge a $20 cork fee. I called my order in for pick up, but when i walked in i thought i walked onto the set of the Soprano's. There were Junior Soprano types sitting with the mafia wives enjoying some old bird singing lounge Christmas songs to them, it was great. There was also a chef with a Mario Bros. mustache and a guy with dark eyes staring at me as if I was in the wrong place. The wall is decorated with mafia movie pics, including a great Al Pacino Godfather poster. I ordered Italian Sausage Pizza and Calamari with Marinara Sauce. If you like greasy pizza with lots of cheese this is your place. I didn't like the Calamari but the menu has a lot to choose from so I definitely will make another stop in read more
