One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been. The food is delicious. A variety in their Manu, no matter what you select it's bound to be exquisite. We were sitting fast and food was served within 10 to 15min of ordering. Our servers were amazing! Very attentive. The ambiance is really cute. Its small but cozy. Best tiramisu in town!!! ​ read more

Came here on Sunday for lunch, and it was amazing! I came with my girlfriend and she told me about this place and how great it was and was super excited to try it. First thing I noticed was the décor when walking in and it was great. it was fun checking out all the pictures and little things they had. we were seated right away, placed an order for drink and given garlic bread. Who doesn't like garlic bread? I pretty much ate all of it and was sad I didn't have any with my food by the time it came, but I could have order more, but didn't. I wanted to enjoy the food and not just the bread. Anyways, I ordered a lasagna, when you looked at the menu it says "lasagna (the best in the west)" and let me tell you something, they are right! it was one of the best lasagna I have ever had. I cant wait to go back, its a little far from where I am, but good food is always worth the drive. A little side not, as far as soda goes, I have a weakness for 7up and they had 7up! it made me so happy hearing that I can not wait to go back here read more

Servers were nice and frequently check up on you.I ordered the marg pizza and i definitely recommend!! They also give garlic bread while you wait for your order. The sodas are canned and i personally prefer it tht way. Very cute place and cozy. read more

2nd time returning to try this place, thinking the food wasn't that great first time around but the lasagna memorable and was good. -Eggplant parm was inedible. No exaggeration, it was rotten, using bad or old ingredients. The smell was bad, thinking it was stinky cheese which I'm accustomed to--I was wrong. -Pizza with pepperoni and cheese. Also, smelled bad and tasted bad. Unfortunate. -Lasagna, strangely, very good. -Cesar salad, good. Not sure the big discrepancy with quality of food but I cannot return. read more

My favorite Italian date night spot! Cafe Corleone is a small hole in the wall that tends to get overlooked because of it's location and lack of publicity. They have the sweetest staff that make your experience 10x better. Their food is amazing, everything tastes fresh and home cooked. If you like Italian food I definitely recommend giving this place a try. More specifically, their lasagna. Overall 10/10 and will continue to come over and over again! read more

I went back to Café Corleone once again. Once again, I was pleased. I'm always pleased when I come here and I am always fed well when I come here at least once a week. Pops is in the kitchen doing his thing. He does it so well and when mom is there, she will greet you with a smile. This is a family I say here because their daughter takes orders and makes great suggestions. I love this place! read more

Came in person and tried the Dolores pizza after hearing rave reviews. It completely surpassed our expectations! The pizza is so good we have gone back 3 times in less than a month. Love that this is a small, family owned business with staff that are very personal and want to help. My partners birthday was this past week and we ordered pizzas, salads and bread sticks for 20 people and the order was perfect! What a special touch to a special day! We will be back. read more

One of my favorite places to go. We have never been disappointed the lasagna is one of the best I have tried but my recommendation is the Shrimp Champagne the shrimp are huge and the sauce is to die for even the veggies are delicious. Also a shout out to Giovanna and Gustavo our servers they always make us feel special and well taken care of. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, great service. Get the lasagna! Best item on the menu. We had meatballs and caesar salad too. All good! read more

We have been satisfied customers for over 16 years! The quality has remained superb, and we always look forward to our next meal here. What makes Corleone stand out to us is the fresh, homemade taste in every dish. They make everything from the soup (get the soup!!) to the pasta to the pizza with only the best ingredients. The sweetest family owns this restaurant, and we love this local hidden gem! read more

Great authentic Italian food many words don't need to be said for this great restaurant!

Been coming here for years, they have excellent Italian food. My wife loves the Emiliano plate, I order everything including their pizza. 5 Stars! read more

A bit on the pricey side, but actually pretty good. It's the only real Italian restaurant in Paramount (and sometimes in nearby areas) but it's still worth it to go here occasionally. Quality is a bit inconsistent at time, but when they're good, they're good. I miss their old orange meat sauce though, that was amazing, and their spaghetti and meatballs haven't been the same since they stopped offering it. read more

Amazing! One of our favorite place to dine in when the family is craving Italian food. Service is great and food is delicious! read more

Returned for another visit. Brought my daughter as well. Same cozy, quaint environment. The waiter was very friendly and kept tabs on how we were doing. The food was delicious. My daughter actually ate the majority of the garlic bread and she is usually not a fan. However this time she commented on how delicious it tasted. Just the right amount of seasoning and crisp. The fettuccine Alfredo was gigantic and delicious. My chicken parmigiana was perfect. Tender to slice and packed with flavor. The potatoes in the side are freshly made, you can tell and the veggies were nice, tender, and flavorful. I also had the tomato soup, wow that packed a nice punch to my pallet. Thanks for the wonderful fast, hot, fresh food. I believe the owner was there, she came out yo greet us and check on us as well. Worth the drive from wherever you are. They have take out as well. Enjoy. read more

Cafe Corleone is a cute, family-owned Italian Restaurant that's so delicious! We tried two things, the lasagna and fettuccini alfredo with chicken. They serve garlic bread as well and they would always pass by to refill it if you run out. Portion sizes are HUGE so definitely go with an appetite, or prepare to take leftovers home. Decent prices. Chicken Fettuccini: 8/10. It was really good but I prefer a thicker Alfredo sauce and this one was a little watery. Still packed with flavor it's just a preference for me. Lasagna: 10/10. This was 100% the star of the show and there's a reason it's the most popular item on the menu. Everything about it is delicious and I would recommend everyone try this for your first visit. Overall thought this place was yummy and the customer service was great. I'll ask for the baked chicken fettuccini alfredo next time instead of the regular one. read more

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

In the summer of 1975, I was only 14, and already a "Busboy extraordinaire"! My family had just moved from East Los Angeles to Monterey Park, and I started working at the best Italian restaurant on the planet, 'Agostino's'. At first, I thought all the beautiful girls were coming in to see me clear dirty dishes off of dirty tables. I later learned it had something to do with the food. And something to do with the restaurants' proximity to Mark Keppel High School. On top of all that. it was Great pizza at an affordable price. I stayed there charming the clientele for about three years. I met members of the M.P. Police, council members, Mayors, and others. I saw my classmates come in with their families, on dates, and in the banquet room after every major school dance. It was a place where you could go have pizza with friends, and not be embarrassed to run into your parents having a nice dinner. It was the hub of all social life in the San Gabriel Valley. I left the restaurant for college in 1978. In 1980, Agostino ("Gus") and Alicia sold the restaurant and went back to Sicily. I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years. A half century! Well, my fellow Monterey Parklandians (is that even a word?), this past weekend my wife says to me: "Remember your wish to step into 1975 and smell the food at Agostino's again"? She then drove me to this small Italian restaurant in the community of Paramount. Inside ..... were Gus & Alicia. The original owners who gave me my first real job so many years ago. The food was as good OR better than I remembered. Just as fresh too. My wife and I split an antipasto salad, a lasagna, and a pizza. Alicia came over to sit with us, we traded hugs & stories. Alicia is as warm and delightful as I remembered her. We didn't spend too much time with Gus, he was busy. Although I believe Gus is still jealous, because Alicia thinks I'm too handsome. It's a mystery. If you lived in the MP/Alhambra area for any amount of time, you surely enjoyed the authentic Sicilian food from Agostino's. And you'll truly enjoy Gus & Alicia's "Cafe Corleone". I know we'll be going back. CAFE CORLEONE 15337 Paramount Blvd, Paramount, CA (562) 408-6100. Dine-in/Takeout / Delivery read more

Cafe Corleone - Baked Rigatoni - Italian Near Me - Paramount, California

Must be a local favorite, the food here is not that great. The décor is like someone watched The Godfather once and said hey let's just make a restaurant out of this character. Staff is wonderful and polite. I will say they have great customer service but the food lacked. Before arriving I thought I would take a dish home if it's good, I tried their fried calamari and it was okay, the sauce did not enhance the flavor. I also had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Alfredo sauce wasn't thick which okay I get, not all places offer it that way but it tasted out of a jar. The pasta was okay, the chicken pieces were okay as well, threw in some Parmesan cheese and chili flakes to give it some taste. I will admit I ate the whole plate, but as far as ordering the lasagna to go I just figured it would not be good either. Decent private lot parking, good service, unfortunately the food for me was not great. read more

January 2022 Location is a hidden Gem. Look for Orange Umbrellas outside of the restaurant. We ate on the patio which was seated for 2 people. Our server was very helpful in suggesting the house-made items. I ordered the Penne Pasta with Pink Sauce and my friend ordered the Cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce. The house garlic bread and the friendly service is exactly what keeps this a gem of Paramount. read more

Delicious! We had ordered quite a bit of food for a larger party and there was plenty to go around. I almost regret not having ordered less but I'm glad there are leftovers. Penne pasta with meat sauce and melted cheese on top, c'mon what more do ya want?! We also got some fried calamari, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks for good measure. Everything was on point! I will definitely come back for more! Happy Eating, -FJ read more

The service at Cafe Corleone is wonderful. You can tell its family run, has authentic Italian cuisine, and the owners really love the movie the Godfather. The location of the cafe is a little strange, but the cafe was busy with customers. The menu didn't have many creamy pasta options, but I tried their pink sauce (combination of marinara and cream sauce I think) and it was quite good. They give lots of garlic bread and the portions are good. Definitely had my fill of pasta. read more
