Kinda surprised by this place! Seems like most of the recent reviews are negative but this was not my experience at all. Came by on a weekend for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The crispy Parmesan covered crunchy bread sticks are so tasty, and the garlic bread is simple but comforting. I got the lunch chicken parm which was a perfect serving size. The chicken was thin and crispy, the seasonings were exactly what you expect in the best way. The sauce and cheese on top made for a nice classic dish. The side of pasta was also cooked al dente and a nice pairing for the chicken. The food did take a little while to out, but the crispy sticks and garlic bread were there in between, plus there was a giant party they were taking care of at the same time and I could see the staff hustling. Would definitely come back! read more

This place is not much different from your average Italian-American restaurant. The price is very typical, but they do also have a decent selection on their lunch menu. Portion sizes are good as well. They offer complimentary breadsticks and garlic bread with the meal. I've been a few times now, and the food and service is consistent. Nothing amazing to write home about, but no big complaints neither. The Penne Maschile I ordered was a bit on the bland side, but the parmesan cheese they added on top at the table fixed that. read more

YUMMY!!!! The fact that I've worked in Sugar Land for 10+ years and never had this place should be an absolute crime!!! First, let me start with the customer service...it was great! Our waitress was so kind and so patient with us. I visited during lunch with a group of people. They have a pretty extensive lunch menu and I got the cheese ravioli! Ugh!!! I can't wait to have it again! The portions are worth the price. If you're ever in the SL area...make sure to visit!! read more

Placed simple to go order of Manicotti. I requested some fresh Parmesan to be added. When I got home, it was very average and missing the melted mozzarella as described on the menu. Also missing was the requested Parmesan. There were only two tables occupied in the restaurant on a Saturday evening, so it was disappointing that such a simple dish could not be prepared accurately. The employees were very friendly, but were mostly just standing around as there were no customers to serve. read more

I had the HRW lunch menu: house salad, pork chop, and canolli as dessert. There was complimentary wine too. The house salad was made with fresh vegetables but needed more dressing. The pork chop was a thick cut and was a good portion. There was a nice sear on it but it was dry. In addition, there was too much sauce flowing around the plate. The canolli was the biggest disappointment. A small shell encased with thick whipped cream, and I couldn't taste any ricotta cheese. The canolli casing itself was slightly thick too. Lunch time could get busy but there are plenty of seats available if you have a big group. Complimentary breadsticks and garlic bread are served at the table. The breadsticks were bland, and the garlic bread was served cold. The garlic bread tasted like overnight bread; soft and hard at the same time. I don't foresee myself dining here again. read more

I'm Italian and may be biased but I was not impressed. First things first, as soon as my gf and I walked in there was a funky smell. Second, we approached the hostess who didn't greet us or say anything. My gf had to say something first. We said a table for two and the hostess just grabbed two menus and turned around and started walking away from us. No, "follow me, right this way," nothing. This was on a Tuesday night and they were out of their breadsticks and served us a different bread that was meh. I ordered a single serve lasagna which literally tasted like I was eating a sponge. Though the inside looked nice, it wasn't a good experience. I drove all the way from Texas City because we wanted to try it and I would have rather stayed home. read more

We stopped in for dessert to celebrate our anniversary and ordered a cannoli and a slice of cheesecake. They were both delicious! I fancy myself a connoisseur of cheesecake haha and this one was truly divine. I'm still thinking about it! read more

Chrissy or Christy whatever her name was, was extremely rude and unprofessional. First time coming here and before even getting our food she was rude. When I was asking her about the menu I'm not even joking she was talking to me like I was stupid. Her eyes widened with every question and her head made a jerking forward movement and didn't even answer the question I asked her. The food was fine but definitely would've been better if we had a better server. Didn't bring breadsticks and when we asked her about it she said they were out and didn't even provide an alternative. I'll wrap it up but you should probably put her back in training. Sure she could learn something instead of staying huddled up with her co workers. read more

Their Snapper Napoli would have been good if only they weren't frugal on their lemon butter sauce. It looks pretty dry! I even asked for extra lemon butter sauce on the side. Instead, they gave me extra spaghetti sauce on the side. Really?!?! read more

We literally live less than mile from here. Last we ate here was a dozen years ago & not memorable. My wife wanted lasagna & suggested we do take out order try this place out. I ordered chicken parm. Chicken over frieddark brown on verge of burnt around edges. Chicken was dry. Red sauce bland. Not a good meal. Im not that picky but I would have sent it back if served that over fried dark brown. Wife lasagna she said was ok but cold. We were eating within 9 minutes of me picking up order. She had to heat it 2 min in microwave. She said was just very average flavor. Lastly got a pepperoni pizza. Was ok. Not horrible but not much above a delivery pizza. Prices weren't horrible but I think we are done with this place...3 dishes 3 misses. At least Olive Garden is consistent in quality ha! read more

Good neighborhood spot, not sure if you'd make a point to come out here but it's got your typical American-Italian dishes and pastas. Service has always been good for us but the food can be slightly underwhelming but not bad. We've been here a few times and my FIL loved it but others didn't think much of their dishes. read more

We've been eating there a couple times a month since my original review and nothing has changed other than the Manager John is not longer there. The food is awesome, the place is still like a small cafe in Italy and has a great ambiance. So good job Corelli's. read more

Arrived at 9:44 tonight (Friday) and the doors were locked. The manager came to the door and said they were shutting down and couldn't even take my To Go order. I guess they should actually say that they close at 9:45? Maybe he had somewhere to be tonight? read more

The food, service and atmosphere was impeccable. Really loved this place! From the moment we got there until the time we left just so nice! read more

Based on the reviews, we stopped in for dinner. We sat at the bar. Service was good but food wasn't. Breadstick was tasteless and hard. The mushroom porkchop was overcooked. The chicken toscano was ok. The sausages were good. The dish was oily and had more onions than peppers. We said no to the garlic bread and took the side spaghetti that came with porkchop home so we don't know if they were good. Can't say there's any ambiance. read more

Bring back the original Sugo Rosa meat sauce! We've been coming here for about 22 years and have always loved the food, but last night we had dinner there and I was so disappointed to learn that you changed your meat sauce. There was no meat and no flavor. It was like bland tomato sauce. read more

DISCLAIMER: I've been going to Corelli's since I was 14, and as a 37 year old, I was so disappointed at the quality of food. I SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, but not if they're overpromising and underdelivering to the point of confusion. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: The service is impeccable. Corelli's USED to be wonderful. Their prices haven't changed much since 2004, but the quality of food sure has. Their prices seem reasonable until you see the product. I order the lunch special salat/suppe or whatever (~$11), and the minestrone soup was embarrassing (the Caesar salad was good). The chunks of vegetables were the size of my thumb. It was like somebody closed their eyes and successfully murdered the celery with a machete. In my opinion, it's really hard to mess up soup, but Corelli's succeeded. ALSO, THERE WERE THESE WEIRD BLACK TUBES IN MY SOUP (the size and length as fork tines) . I love to cook, and I've NEVER seen such a seasoning/spice/herb. I regret not asking the manager wtf it was. It was not rosemary/thyme/oregano/basil. Long story short, go to Olive Garden. read more

Awesome!! 10 stars!! Pleasant curb appeal. Walked and and warmly greeted. Saw the sign for daily and happy hour specials. Our waitress was extremely friendly and prompt with her service. Both meals and the garlic bread were awesome! Very cool decor too. I was just thrilled with this place and highly recommend it!!! read more

Corelli's is my family's go to restaurant for Italian food. The food here is great, the owner is incredibly nice, the restaurant is just not as clean and well kept as I'd like. I have tried almost everything on the menu it feels like and nothing has disappointment me. The cooks are very accommodating when we had a special request for light sauce. If you're in town I highly recommend! read more

I really like this place! I'm not sure why I've overlooked it before but it's good! Tried the lasagna today and enjoyed it. Not too much meat and enough ricotta, topped with mozzarella. More on the sweet side of tomato too. Chicken Parmesan was also delicious here and fills my Italian cravings. Service is fast and attentive. They give the crunchy Parmesan sticks when you sit down and also have buttery garlic bread for free too! Friday nights at 7 are a packed house, but they get people going in and out pretty quickly. read more

We used to love this place. Went today for our 14yr anniversary and was really disappointed. Service was horrible. There were only 3 tables, we told our waitress give us a few minutes, she disappears.20 minutes later she finally took our order. And whom I'm guessing was managers were sitting at a booth having a meeting. The lettuce on our salad was wilted and not good. My MILs eggplant parm was burnt. My chicken Marsala was dry with very little sauce. Husband said his tortellini was "okay", not great, like it has been in the past. I don't know what happened but it's sad that this place has gone down this way because this was one of our favorite restaurants. read more

Corellis is an Italian restaurant delight. All their dishes are chock full of flavor and fresh herbs in every bite! We've been coming to this sugarland texas local restaurant for many years and they never disappoint. They have a menu full of Italian favorites but my fav is something off menu called the "pepper pasta". It is just devine with extra sundried tomatoes and slices of roasted garlic. I have never had it at any other restaurant. Hubby likes their seafood choices. Salmon, shrimp in the various pasta dishes. Yum yum. But this time, he was over the moon with the pesto pasta with chicken. The service is spot on with veey nice wine selections. They have a front area, bar casual eating area, an outside area and the romantic back room area. While not a huge restaurant it takes you to Italy with every bite. Sure, with other more "fancy" italian restaurants with more marketed names (or more common chain named restaurants) you can get basic Italian but at Corelli's you get a mouthful of flavor. Best Italian in Sugarland !! And it is priced right!! read more

Oh man.. I was excited for some Italian food and found Corelli's on Yelp with some good reviews so thought we'd give it a try. Service was fine, we were seated right away and they refilled our water and bread as requested. They're pretty quick on bringing you your order as well. But that's where the positives end I'm afraid. We really wanted to like it but none of the food was good, or even edible for that matter, we were highly disappointed. I'm not sure if our tastebuds were off cause of that cheesy breadstick they gave us beforehand drenched in Parmesan but everything tasted off after that. The garlic bread tasted funny - and I normally love garlic and fresh hot bread. We ordered the appetizer sampler platter which came with bruschetta, mushrooms caps, Italian sausage, and some grilled veggies. The mushroom caps were ok if you compare it to everything else.. We liked the red sauce drenched over it. The bf liked the Italian sausage - it was unique. But the bruschetta with the pesto tasted weird - I can't pinpoint what it was but we didn't like anything about it. The grilled veggies seem to be out there just to fill up the plate, with two tiny shrimps. Meh.. The best thing on the platter was the red sauce. The bf ordered the lasagna - he literally orders lasagna everywhere and he barely touched this one. If you look at the photo, the lasagna looked like it was premade, refrigerated, cut and reheated in the microwave. The cheese was all coagulated - fresh lasagna just doesn't cut smoothly like this one did. It tasted ok but like how it looked, it didn't taste like fresh ingredients. The only thing fresh was the sauce they spooned over the brick of lasagna. We didn't even take this to go. I love me some spaghetti forever and always. This one was like a cafeteria spaghetti - where they throw things from a can together and call it spaghetti. The noodles were overdone, the sauce tasted funny - again I can't pinpoint exactly what it was but the sauce was too sweet to me, the meat tasted like frozen hamburger meat. I didn't like the flavors at all - I barely touched my dish and ended up just tossing it when I got home. I'm usually pretty fair in judging a place and I always feel bad leaving the lowest review. We gave them a one star for service but we felt like we paid for a meal we didn't even touch cause everything was so bad. It's been a long time since I've felt this way about a restaurant. Maybe it was just an off day?! But we wasted money spent here cause the food was all thrown anyway. Boo! read more

So much nostalgia coming back here, it's been my family's go to Italian restaurant for over 10 years!! The service was amazing and more like the service you would get at a $$$ place. Very warmly greeted by the hostesses and they accommodated us for patio seating with a larger group. Our server was very attentive and patient with us while we made our selections. Food: Ordered the spinach and artichoke fonduta to start. It's all cheese and honestly pretty heavy but the flavor is soooo good! I also love the crostini's it comes with, good texture and flavor from the bread. For mains we ordered the snapper napoli, vegetarian lasagna, chicken san marcos and veal corelli. Everything was very good, I will say the veal corelli was a little disappointing texture wise (a little chewy) compared to what I remembered from before but maybe it was just an off day. Snapper napoli is crispy and but still flaky and tender on the inside Chicken San Marcos was very tender, my friend even commented "it's very juicy for being chicken breast" and the sauce was amazing. I love how big their portion sizes are and most entrees come with a side of spaghetti. They also provide complimentary breadsticks and garlic bread which I'm not used to anymore so it was very nice to have bread on the house! read more

If I could give this place a million stars I would LOL We decided to try out this place because we are in the area weekly and I don't have one regret! The hostess are very welcoming and the service was OUTSTANDING! Our server Evelyn was very attentive to our needs. I ordered the Baked Tortellini and it made me feel just like that food critic off of Ratatouille when he got that flashback! I also got a cannoli and it was so good! This Italian cooking is definitely my favorite! Highly recommend and will be coming back! Unfortunately I did not get pictures of my food because it was that good! These pictures are photos of what my family got. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken with shrimp, and the Kid's lasagna. read more

It's been years since we've lived in this area and visited Corelli's. We have a friend that loves book stores and Half Price is in the same strip mall and we all love Italian. We ordered off the lunch menu. My wife got the chicken parmesan and subbed the pasta with grilled veggies. Our buddy got the grilled chicken Tuscano with subbed grilled veggies, i should have done that too...they were very good. I went with the lasagna with spaghetti, it was very good and it disappeared along with the cup of complimentary breadsticks....the ladies were low carbing it. Then they brought a plate of garlic bread just before our meals showed up and I showed enough restraint to just eat most of it. Our waitress Isabel was very helpful and took great care of us. read more
