Very good. After reading the reviews I decided to buy the groupon coupon. Took the wife and daughter after we picked her up from the airport. Some reviews were good, some reviews were bad. For us, i thought the service was great, it could have been better. The food was great! My daughter got the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. My wife got the angel hair siciliani with chicken and I got the baked beef ravioli. The food was delicious. Our family definitely recommends this place! read more

Dimly lite little italian spot in the heart of paramount. Who would of ever think that such a place would serve such good food. For starter, we had a salad, im thinking "salad", i was very hesitant but after my first bite i was quickly impressed. Later found out that they make there own dressing. The free bread was warm and tasty. Thats a plus in my book. The chicken parmigiana was outta this world, with the right amount of cheese and sauce. The calamari is slap your momma good. They have this dipping sauce that is better than marinara. Yup, better than marinara. The owner are really friendly and came by our table a few times to check on us. They really care and wanna make sure there customer is comfortable and leave happy. read more

A delish Mom and pops restaurant that is very authentic yet satisfying. Def recommended.

Came to this restaurant what a fabulous crew they have here I ordered the lasagna with garlic bread the best lasagna I've had in a long time I would recommend this to family and friends read more

It was OK. Filling, but not great tasting. We tried the Antipasto Salad (it was OK, but we've had better), the lasagna (which was also just OK) and the "Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo" (which in reality was more of a garlic pasta instead of an Alfredo. OH! We also had the spinach soup. In regards to the soup... SAVE YOUR MONEY!... I don't see ourselves ordering from here any time soon, unless we're stuck at home and everything else is closed. The one GREAT thing about this place is that it is one of the very few that DELIVERS in our area (Bellflower, CA). Overall, it was... "OK!" read more

We haven't tried a meal we haven't liked. By far, it's one of our favorite restaurants. Generous portions. Friendly service. Try the Dolores pizza, the Angel Hair Sicilian, and the Chicken Parmigiana. They are incredible. On Saturday evenings, there is a pair of lounge singers that don't quite fit the setting. Otherwise, the place is very enjoyable. Closed on Sundays. read more

Food is amazing!! Meatballs are to die for. Ravioli is perfect. Owner is sweet and treats you like family.

It has been about a year since we'd been there because we're not often in the area, so we were looking forward to their lasagna and pizza, which we have enjoyed in visits~past. Was that a mistake! First off, I noticed as we went in the door the sticker in the window telling me that YELP reviewers have given them such wonderful reviews. Usually, when a restaurant has to tell you they've been given rave reviews, it's because they feel the need to convince you the world thinks they're great. Really great restaurants don't have to toot their own horn because they firmly rest on the laurels of their truly great cuisine. But I didn't give it much thought as I entered in anticipation of a wonderful lasagna. The differences, once inside, were immediately apparent. In the past, the family who owned the business would ensure you were not only greeted and seated but made to feel welcome with a smile. We were lucky the waiter decided to seat us, and although the owner/hostess bopped around the room, she seemed not to have time for her customers that day. But no matter, we're here for the food, right? The next thing I noticed was they had absolutely lovely music playing in the background, but most people would be lucky to become aware of it, because they had mounted on the wall a television tuned to an international sports news channel. This was an interesting new feature, but no one in the restaurant seemed to be interested in the international sports news, yet it blared on so loudly as to drown out the lovely music and make conversation rather difficult. It seemed quite out of place, as well, because it created an atmosphere of a sports bar, which felt out of synch with the fact that this was a small family italian ristorante, not a southern california~style sports bar. But no matter, there's always the food. With anticipation we ordered and awaited our food. Since conversation was not DOable with the cacophany of noise between the sports news and the music, my companion took to working a puzzle book while I watched the international sports news, about which I know nothing. It's a good thing there's always good food here. The food finally arrived, and it was dismal! My family has always enjoyed their pizzas, but this turned out to be the worst pizza we have EVER had, EVER! My lasagna was good, but not nearly the wondrous italian delight I've always enjoyed, and it was half the size it used to be. But worst of all was the overall value. Never mind the noisy and unfriendly environment (our waiter could not bear to muster even one facial expression remotely resembling a smile), we could bear it all if the food was great and the price was right . . . but alas, it was not so. We spent $42 for ONE pizza and ONE lasagna ~ no beverages or desserts, just ONE pizza and ONE lasagna. Even that might be tolerable if the pizza were even remotely what we anticipated based on past experience, or the lasagna was sizable enough to have a little leftover to take home. But in this economy, $42 for a LUNCH that was barely shy of AWFUL, I'd say there was no value there at all, and sadly, Cafe Corleone has seen the last of us. Although the waiter had given our payment to the owner, she was sitting in a booth talking with someone at the time, and it wasn't until we decided it wasn't worth waiting for our change and started to walk out that she hopped to her feet and said "Thank you for coming!" as we're going out the door . . . a mere shadow of the proud, family~owned Italian restaurateurship of our past experience there. The only conclusion we could come to as we get in our car and 'clickit" was that perhaps Cafe Corleone changed ownership or something, because there was nothing we recognized that reminds us of why we so looked forward to the experience. And since there are so few truly wonderful little restaurants in the area, it was with a small maudlin tear that we drew a line through the name Cafe Corleone in our list of favorite places to visit. read more

Authentic, good and real Italian vibe. Order the potatoes with anything. All the pastas are great!

Only been there a couple of times....but oh my YUMMY!!! There is a combination half chicken and cheese pizza that was delish! The chicken was tender and seasoned with just the right amount of herbs. The cheese pizza just being a cheese pizza was to die for....very cheesy , minimal sauce. I can't imagine what the other pizza's must be like. Cheese tortellini was off the hook, spinach salad was really fresh. The calamari was good but served in a tomato sauce that was a little too much for me. This is no crappy Olive Garden, this is authentic Italian food, chef is from Sicily the owner told me. Casual atmosphere, owner is often there chatting with the patrons. Nice homey feel. Enjoy! read more

I've been here about 5 times, and I've never had a dish I didn't like. Their food is actually quite impressive, their specials nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is quiet, dark, and comfortable. Service is friendly and attentive, the owner will often come out and greet people. I would recommend this to anyone craving Italian. This would also be a great place to bring a date, given the atmosphere and quality of food/service. Definitely worth trying sometime. read more

WONT EVER EAT HERE AGAIN MAYBE IT WAS JUST THIS ONE TIME BUT IF THERE FOOD IS ALWAYS AT THIS LEVEL THEN ITS HORRIBLE. ANYONE THAT HAS EVER HAD GOOD ITALIAN FOOD AT A AUTHENTIC PLACE WILL AGREE WITH ME. I PUT THE OLIVE GARDEN AT A HIGHER STANDER THAN THIS PLACE Saw this place had some good reviews so decided to give it a try since they delivered . I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and the lasagna came out to $30 for both that's 15 a plate but thought well as long as its good food I don't mind. Delivery guys showed up 50 mins later, I go inside and both meals look poorly put together the fettuccine right off the bat looked yellow and under cook which was, and had too much oil for my taste, the chicken had no taste at all. The lasagna looked like someone cut out a slice and just slapped it on a to go plate and tried to cover up the sloppiness with sauce the meat in it was nasty tasted old or under cooked I'm not sure couldn't put my finger on it. We throw it away and the fettuccine couldn't even finish it all not because of the portion but because so un satisfying. The next day i figured maybe ill finish the leftover but it was hard as a rock the lard that they used and oil had gone cold and made me sick to think of that in my stomach. I would never eat here again If someone would give me a gift card to this place I'd feel bad giving it to a homeless cause of how bad the food is, read some say that this place is better than the olive garden but that is very UN true and this place is more expensive for the junk they sell. Not trying to sound like a dick but just step your game up I gave them one star cause they guy on the phone who took my order was nice and so was the delivery guy and just one the fact that they deliver. read more

I love little hole in the wall places, and I am so happy to find this one. The restaurant was nice and quiet, and the portion sizes were very pleasing. I will be definitely be going back. read more

First, this place is awesome, a breath of fresh Italian air, not some chain Italian. Its a mom and pop, homey feel. They were slammed today. I guess the channel 5 news did a tv piece on them as a customer wrote to Burrows Bites and they should be on every channel as the food is that delicious! So yeah sure we get it-waiting for food as there were a million people, they were just on tv in the morning and its a mom and pop so of course!! After eating here Dont listen to 1 or 2 less than perfect reviews when the majority say GO! Im glad I did and would wait all day to eat that good. Give them a break, we wait at those big chain restaurants for 45 min. on a "regular" day who have 100 tables and 75 staff members all to get mediocre, non-authentic grub. Found out owners are from Sicily...authentic...check. Staff were so nice, did their best to accomodate given quaint restaurant and being outnumbered given newsbreak, zillion people...check. Third, pizza dolores hands down best pizza I have ever had...check. Fourth, I want to go back now even though was just there a few hours ago...check. Dont stop, run, run to this place. Eat and eat some more. Im glad I found them on yelp! my and my family's stomach thanks those people who said to go here!!! read more

I never write reviews but this restaurant was so delicious, I could not write one. Everyone here is so helpful and they make feel right at home. We will definitely be coming back. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place since they left a menu on our door. We were hoping for delivery, but apparently their driver was out sick today, so we picked up instead. I was looking forward to trying "one of the best pizzas in LA," and ordered a small meatball pizza to share. We also ordered the manicotti and calamari marinara. We weren't too impressed. The garlic bread was pretty good and we had enough leftover to freeze for later. The meatballs on the pizza had a strange texture and didn't really seem like meat. I had to check the menu to see if there was something else they may have mixed up and put on my pizza instead of meatballs, but I don't think so. We ended up tossing most of the pizza. Calamari was ok. Nice spicy marinara to dip the garlic bread in. The ricotta filling in the manicotti was kinda dry and bland. We might try it again sometime and change up the order, but we're in no big rush. Also, the experience may be better dining in. My husband said that the small dining room was pretty full when he picked up the food. (Pretty good sign on a Monday night.) read more

Great Food, great service. The lunch specials are low priced, delicious, and sizable portions. It was so good that I came back the next day!

Pretty good little gem in paramount. Totally mom and pop. Reminds me of eating in my grandmas kitchen. Lasagna is delicious, would totally recommend. And the mushroom soup also. read more

This is a hidden gem indeed! Originally, I thought, how good could this be with a wall of Godfather posters and the name "Cafe Corleone"? However, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in by the fragrant smell of garlic bread. We've been back 3 times in the last month and had everything from the Fiorentina (pizza), Ravioli, Chicken Parm, Tortellini, Alfredo, Manacotti, Canoli and we all raved about the Tiramisu. Usually, I find one dish and stick to it but here, I find myself wanting to try it all! Plus, on our first visit, one of the owners made sure to speak with us and assure that we enjoyed our meal and to welcome us. I highly recommend this place. It's small inside but they also offer takeout and delivery. It's my new regular, once a week spot! read more

First went in with a groupon, now I keep returning for the excellent food. They will prepare gluten free on request including pasta. My son loves the pizza, me the shrimp scampi. The food takes awhile to get to the table, as it is prepared fresh in the kitchen and it tastes it. Their special during the week second meal half price is a good reason to not wait until the weekend. read more

Came here one night. Must say service and food was good. A little hidden gem. Delicious.

Showed up with 10 people, no reservation, at 6:00 on a Thursday, and they took great care of us. I grew up in the New York Area, and the authentic Italian food here stands up to anything I've had back east. Sausage and peppers were the best I've ever had. Sampled some ravioli, and it was great as well; Excellent accordion player to add to the ambiance, along with the red checked table cloths. Go there! read more

Amazing Authentic Italian Cuisine! I am so glad that my dad found out about this place, a man from Italy told my dad at work about Cafe Corleone that it's the closest to Italy with out being in Italy, that's because the owners are from Italy you can tell the love that goes into the food, everything is fresh home made pasta, even the bread is amazing I could just come in for that lol, if you love Italian food you will love this place it is the best authentic Italian food I have tasted, it is a must go if you love Italian Cuisine spread the word of Cafe Corleone.!!! read more

So far all the food that we have ordered from cafe corleone has been very good. They have made a couple errors on our orders but have more than made up for it on our next. read more

our friends clipped a newspaper coupon for Coreones, and I thought: "How good can this be?"' but we went anyway, and on entering the place I knew we had arrived at the real thing We were greeted by Alicia, an owner, who immediately won our hearts with an appetizer on the house. On seeing the menu, I knew that pizza was out of the question, and we all ordered other dishes, My chicken cacciatore was out of this world. I make cacciatore at home, one of my favorites, but this set me to trying to figure what made it taste so much better than my home grown version. Fabulous! The other three had clams with linguini, sea bass, and spaghetti and meatballs, and raved similarly. I suppose the ever-filled wine carafe helped, but we all came away believing we had made a find! We will be back for sure. read more

This is an amazing place to eat authentic Italian food. The food is made with love!! Best, Dolores pizza, margarita pizza, rigatoni meat sauce is to die for, and the home made salad is so great! Love this place and recommend it!! read more

Best Italian food I have ever had and the service is amazing!! Each time I visit I never hesitate to try something new. I'm never disappointed! read more

The 'Dolores' pizza is AMAZING!!!! Their salads are okay. Ask for a boat of Alfredo for dipping your bread and they are pretty generous with the sauce. The owner is VERY nice! read more

This is my favorite Italian food place around and their service is top notch. It was my boyfriends Dads birthday, he order the chippino he loved it!!! Everything at this place is amazing!!! We been to Italy before and this is the closest thing to it. Highly recommend it. read more

My husband and I were craving some local, tasty Italian food and, boy, did this restaurant satisfy! We ordered pasta and had the tiramisu as our dessert. Both were exceptionally good. The food is homemade and fresh, including our delicious dessert (which was vegetarian, a plus for me). We appreciated the warm, family atmosphere and know we will be returning, primarily for the food. The prices are reasonable, the food is great, and the decor provides a pleasant ambiance. read more

Try the Dolores Pizza...it speaks for itself... It's a little too intimate, but food & service are excellent...

I loved their lasagna! Everything was delicious. It was a lil pricy but definitely worth it. They were very kind to us and that's what I loved the most read more

maybe this review is a bit bias bc the owner knows me but this this the best italian restaurant u'll find in the area. The wine selection is great and the cuisine satisfies any italian. Highy recommend. read more

You might end up at Corleone just by process of elimination if you should happen to be in the area on business or something. That would be a good thing- this restaurant is rare in its combination of unaffected charm, low prices, and authentic Italian food. The red sauce is really worth checking out . Since Paramount Grill went out of business this is by far the best sit-down spot in Paramount. read more

This is authentic Italian rustic food that tastes great. I've been here a few times and have not been disappointed as the quality is always consistent. Cafe Corleone is undoubtedly my favorite Italian resultant. read more

God Bless this family. I feel like I am back in Italy at a family's home eating. Sal is an amazing Chef that makes magic happen. Try the Dolores Pizza or the God Father Sandwich. Grab a bowl of soup. Don't ask what the choices are, just get the soup of the day and you will be blown away. I have gained 5 pounds since finding this hidden gem and do not mind it at all because I am back in Italy when I am here! read more

Wow, the negative reviews cannot be real people who have actually eaten here. The food is Y-U-M Yum! That marinara sauce is delectable like some angel personally kissed the sweet tomatoes and fresh basil. The food is fresh and spot on yummy and delectable. The place is cozy and that's exactly what dining in Sicily is like and in that way is a great representation of real Sicilian food and the charm of her dining rooms. If you've never been, Sicily, like this restaurant is warm, earthy and inviting and leaves you wanting more. read more

Grub hub took 3 calls to ensure a refund was processed. They did give me some coupons. And I've received calls from the owner of Cafe corleone. They said the internet and phone was down the whole day. They claimed they never got the order until the following day. That means one of these 2 entities is not being truthful. Bottomline I'm a customer and I had a terrible experience. But life goes on, so I'm raising the rating because I get s#$@% happens. Food is good, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered. read more

The real deal , Sicilian food. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Nice wines. Try the smooth chardonay. The lamb chops are absolutely delicious. Tortellini Emiliana very traditional and yummy. read more

This place was amazing!!! The food was delicious an Authentic. Way better then the Americanized Olive Garden little hidden gem that I would rather go to from now on. It's a must try place read more
