Visited on a Sunday evening with no reservation. Immediately greeted entry and seated quickly in the front dining area. I like their semi private two seat tables in the center of the front dining room. Our server was friendly and courteous, checking in on us frequently during the meal and we didn't have to wait for service or for drinks to be refreshed, etc. The fresh pasta is always hearty with full flavor - my spouse enjoyed the salmon entree but mentioned that the interior of the salmon was not as flavorful as the outside. The plate portion sizes are great and we didn't leave feeling pasta fatigue. The cocktail that I tried Sorrento was very light and refreshing. One of our local favorites so I will be visiting again. $$ We walked to restaurant but there is limited street parking and free deck parking nearby read more

I really loved Corso Italian and am so glad my friend and I stumbled upon it! We discovered it by chance after catching a movie at the AMC nearby. Lucky for us, it was Macaroni Monday, where several of Corso's pastas are available for just $15. An excellent deal and we really liked what we got (the lobster ravioli and the white pesto rigatoni). One of the standout items for us, aside from the food being good and the atmosphere being nice, was the service. We were treated with a lot of warmth and kindness, and especially appreciated our server, Junior, for his incredible hospitality. That wonderful first experience is what made me return again recently. I once again had a great time. This time I got the white pesto rigatoni and the chicken fettucine alfredo. I'm pained to admit that I would actually recommend against the latter; it lacked flavor big time and it's not something I'd get again. But I enjoyed the rigatoni again, and loved the hazelnut chocolate cheesecake I got for dessert. I also really appreciated my waiter this time, Jose; I really appreciated his honest recommendations and I felt very well taken care of. I hope to be back sometime in the near future! read more

I visited Corso Italian for my birthday dinner and left with very mixed feelings. My partner noted on the reservation that it was my birthday, and upon arriving the hostess greeted me with a warm "happy birthday," which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that was the only acknowledgment I received for the rest of the evening, which was a little disappointing for a special occasion dinner. Since my birthday fell on a Wednesday, we decided to try their date night deal and added a few appetizers. The arancini was exactly what you want from a classic arancini. Crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the Vodka Parm and honestly found it underwhelming. The sauce tasted much more like a standard marinara than a vodka sauce, and the spaghetti itself was completely lacking seasoning. Meanwhile, my partner ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and his dish was fantastic. The meatballs were flavorful, the sauce had depth, and overall it was a much better execution. The standout dish of the entire night was easily the gamberi fritti. The shrimp was fried perfectly, and the sauce with the lemon, garlic, and aromatics was unbelievable. I would genuinely return for that dish alone. To end the night, we had the tiramisu and it was excellent. Drinks throughout the evening were also very well done. We tried a mix from both the seasonal and classic cocktail menus and enjoyed everything we ordered. Service overall was just okay. Beyond the initial greeting, no one really made me feel celebrated for my birthday. At one point I also asked to switch from tap water to bottled water, but the server never returned with it, so I just stuck to cocktails for the remainder of dinner. Despite the inconsistencies, there were enough highlights that I'd still be willing to come back and give Corso Italian another shot. read more

We opted for the All-You-Can-Mangia (weekends, 10am to 3pm) menu and it was communicated that we could only order two dishes per person at a time. Wasn't an issue as this prevents food waste. We managed to indulge in 12 different dishes with the berry bowl being our favorite. So good that I need to recreate this dish at home. It was the perfect day to sit outside and was in food heaven!!!

Loved trying Corso's Thursday night girl's dinner deal! For only $29, my friends and I got to try a drink and two small plates each (served on a silver platter and with a conversation card which was such a cute touch). I especially enjoyed my dirty martini (strong and smooth), and the Calabrian meatballs. I appreciated that they also had non-alcoholic options, like a Virgin Bellini. I want to come back and try their homemade pasta!! The location is so lovely, with a vintage Italian feel - you can even pick up a bottle after dinner from their market! read more

I checked out Corso Italian with my homegirl for happy hour and their $5 Teeny Tuesday and it was definitely a good time. They only have about 12 seats at the bar so it fills up really quickly. We started at a table and ordered drinks, but one thing to know is that happy hour is only at the bar. As soon as two seats opened up we moved right over. Happy hour runs from 3 to 7 and you can get $9 drinks from a pretty extensive selection. They also have $5 snacks which are perfect to go with your drinks. I really enjoyed the meatballs and my friend loved the mussels. The $5 martinis for Teeny Tuesday were a hit too. Overall great vibes good drinks and a solid happy hour spot just make sure you come early if you want to grab a seat at the bar. read more

Update (Feb 20, 2026) - Received a very nice email from the owner, Jill, and I am increasing review by one star for that reason (responsiveness by management.) And I will just suggest for now to talk to the waiter/waitress about the main portion size, then order according to hunger level. But if a main arrives and still too small, then consider sending it back to the kitchen. (Feb 14,2026, 3 Stars) Hint: Never do their Prix Fix menu. EVER! Came in for Valentine's Day, making a reservation through open table. Easy enough, find they're doing a "sort of" prix fix meal with choices, so decide to try it. Party of three, wife, teen & I. Ambiance is ok, seated near the bar, reasonable noise level, Movie "Italian Job" on the TV, few stale breadstick circles & water... lets order. Started with Caesar salad that was a chopped salad on the smallish size. Dressing was ok, bit of parm, I get a drink, as does rest of fam. (3x$15 for rail drinks -Hint: stick with the basics, not their house drinks, you're better off. A blood orange is not a navel orange with maraschino cherry juice stain.) Mains come, oxtail ravioli is ok, but it's a really small serving. 7 pastas. Heart shaped, sure. Cute. Decent tasting. But that's it? Pass the powdered breadsticks. Teen got the steak, at +15$ over the $49 cost ($64!) , I'd say that was the only decent sized serving. And it was tender & a correct medium rare. So kudos on that one, chef. (But don't get cocky.) Dessert. A sliver of a cheesecake with some weak cherry drizzle that didn't taste like anything. Seriously, this was a piece of Mrs. Smith's cheesecake cut for like 16 people. Candy toppings did not work for me... sorry. The chocolate mousse my wife had at least was very good, and served in a nice tulip shaped chocolate edible cup. Glad the wife & teen got those instead of my cheesecake. Bill comes. $230 (!), before tip. Waiter was ok, so sure, decent tip earned. Also, not going to make a scene on Valentines Day... But holy smoleys... for 3 people? For that? I could have gotten two weeks groceries, with better outcome, alcohol & better tasting premade salads from a buffet salad bar. I think they took advantage of the occasion to jack up their prices. But if this is their new norm... they're not gonna last long. Because I walked away very "unimpressed." Taste was good... but not that good. (I had to eat a burger when I got home- I was that hungry afterwards.) read more

Great Italian restaurant in Arlington. Parking. Can be a little trick but it worth it. It was my first visit and we were warmly greeted when we walked through the door. I knew the service here would be sublime. The conversation of the dinner and ambient lighting gave the restaurant an inviting atmosphere. Corso Italian offer a wonderful array of food options.

Had an hour to kill while in Arlington today so I searched for a good happy hour and this place popped up. Italian is one of my favorite type of cuisines so I was excited to try their happy hour. They have a apertivo hour from 3-7 at the bar which includes food and drink. They actually have $5 bar bites which is unheard of these days. The bar is small with limited seating so plan accordingly. I arrived early and was able to secure a seat. The space is small and intimate and had very cute decorations for Valentine's Day. It was quiet and is definitely a great spot for date night. They have a great pasta menu as well do I decided to take some oxtail ravioli to go. Will let you know how it is! Oops! I also ordered the muscle and clams and arancini for happy hour and somehow forgot to take pictures. read more

I've been to Corso Italian for both dinner and brunch, and I have to say, dinner wins. The ambiance at night is especially beautiful; romantic, intimate, and perfect for a date. Paired with top-notch service, it really feels like a full experience. For dinner, we ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese, which was rich and hearty with a slow-simmered meat sauce that clung perfectly to the pasta, and the Lasagna, layered beautifully with tender pasta, creamy cheese, and a deep, comforting flavor. For drinks, the Corso Sour was smooth and well-balanced with a slight citrusy edge, while the Espresso Martini was bold, velvety, and perfectly executed. Brunch was a different vibe but still fun. We did the all-you-can-mangia, $29 for unlimited small plates plus a main, which is such a good deal if you come hungry. For drinks, we tried the Pinkie, Nutella, Tiramisu, and Affogato martinis. Honestly, all of them were great, but the Pinkie Martini was the standout; light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Food-wise, the Eggs Benedicto was good but could've used a bit more seasoning. The Eggs in Purgatory, though, completely stole the show; rich, flavorful, and something I'd go back for on its own. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for dinner for the full ambiance and experience, but brunch is still worth it, especially if you grab a seat at the bar and indulge in their martinis. read more

A nice meal in a nice setting. We arrived with a reservation (Reservations a must at dinner) and were promptly seated. A cup of seasoned taralli was brought to the table to snack on as we looked over the menu. These were tasty and peppery. Cocktails were delivered quickly. Wife noted that while the server did not offer or inquire about liquor brand (no up-sell attempted) whatever was used in her vodka tonic was very good. And the extra lime she requested was also accommodated. My iced tea was fresh and good. Food -- flavors were very good. My friend's mushroom gnocchi was executed perfectly, with a subtle flavor of the mushrooms incorporated into the tender gnocchi and the stronger hit of flavor from the surrounding shrooms themselves. My riggatoni alla bolognese was just heaven in a sauce. While I prefer my pasta a tad more cooked than al dente I cannot complain that the riggatoni was cooked to "the standard." My wife's oxtail ravioli tasted amazing. Unfortunately the ravioli themselves were very tough and should have been cooked longer. Wait staff was just a tad less attentive than would be expected, nothing serious -- our party had to flag her down to get a second glass of wine, for instance. And none of us recalled being asked about the food once it arrived. But there was ample attention given to things like water, fresh parmesan, and taking care of the bill. Ambiance - upscale pretty inside. Noise level - VERY loud. Parking was available in nearby decks at no charge in the evenings, available for patrons of all the local businesses in the two block district. read more

Tried Corso for the first time last night. We've been big fans of Cheesetique for years, so we were excited to give this a shot. We had the whipped ricotta to start--the cheese was delightful and the focaccia on the side was excellent. I didn't love the lemon zest on top of the cheese, would ask for without that next time. Huge portion though, good for sharing. For entrees we did the rigatoni bolognese and the spaghetti and meatball. Both were excellent--sauces with depth, perfectly cooked pasta, good portions. I loved being able to add a burrata on top. Service was good as well. Just be cautious of where you are seated--we were near the front and got a blast of cold air every time the door was opened. There was a heater that helped, but it was still a distraction the whole meal. We will definitely be back! read more

Took a chance on this place after reading the reviews and so glad we did! We tried Corso Italian during Arlington Restaurant Week and it was such a nice surprise. The food was amazing -- we ordered the white pesto rigatoni, rigatoni alla bolognese, French fries, and the housemade focaccia, and everything was really well done and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which really helped set the mood and made the experience even better. The interior is also super charming and cozy. Definitely worth checking out -- we'll be back! read more

*****Brunch review***** Recently stopped by for brunch and enjoyed my afternoon here. The All-You-Can-Mangia option ($29) is the way to go! Everyone in your party must participate and each person can order two dishes at a time. There's a two hour limit, which is more than enough time to make your way through the menu. Their full beverage menu is offered, but they also have $9 mimosas and bloody Maria's. Favorites here included: little gem salad (huge and enough to share with 1-2 more people), burrata cypress, rigatoni al la bolognese, Calabrian meatballs, and the fries (we almost skipped these, but highly recommend!). I also had the espresso martini (couldn't pass it up) and a strawberry rossini bubbly composition. Both were good, but preferred the martinti. Service was great, with our waiter being super friendly and patient as everyone (we were a party of 8) decided what to order. Metered parking is available, as well as a parking in a nearby garage (free). read more

Went to Corso Italian in shirlington for a much needed moms night out with my friends and it was such a great experience. The ambiance was beautiful, warm and cozy, and perfect for a relaxing evening. I had the rigatoni, and my friends ordered lasagna. Both dishes were absolutely delish and fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous too! I was soo full I couldn't even try dessert (which just gives me a reason to go back)! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great Italian food and a lovely atmosphere. Service was excellent-our server was so kind and attentive, even recommending dishes without pork since we don't eat it, which was greatly appreciated. read more

Located in Shirlington, I never have too many issues finding parking, there's plenty of street parking and garages around. We made a reservation and they service was great. We did have a small issue after we ordered the Arancini where it didn't come up till after our entrees because I think it was forgotten but they ended up taking it off our check and apologizing. I ordered the Lambrusco Flight which wasn't bad but I didn't really enjoy the Rosso. All drinks came out fairly quickly. My friend ordered the Corso Sour which was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the Campanelle Alla Romana and my friend ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs with extra sauce on the side. They came by with extra fresh parmesan. Everything was delicious and I definitely would like to come back to try additional items. I did also order the French Fries with garlic, parmesan and Italian herbs. The fries were crispy but wish there was a little more flavor or tossed in more of the garlic. For dessert I opted for the Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake which was great and would have paired well with some coffee. It was quite sweet but still tasted great. Overall great service and good food. read more

I would recommend trying the scallop risotto and getting the Gamberi Fritti as a starter. I would say the portions are a bit on the smaller side but nonetheless still very delicious! Until next time! read more

Brought my niece here to celebrate her this weekend. I missed the big 13th birthday celebration plus she brought her grades up so tonight was her night! Guapos was her first choice, but she changed her mind when we were quoted 45 minute wait time. Corso is located literally right next door and they were able to seat us right away...right on time. The wait staff and manager that was on duty tonight were very accommodating and attentive. When they he noticed we were celebrating something special they moved us to a more fancy celebratory space which was a very nice touch! I didn't get our waitresses name however she was very attentive and I loved her energy. Everything she recommended was delicious. The shrimp appetizer, mussels/clams, salads, lobster ravioli, truffle fries- everything was delicious! Fresh and full of flavor. With plenty of parking, Corso is the perfect date night, GNO kind of spot! I'm looking forward to bringing my hunnie Happy Yelping! read more

Corso is a cute gem in Shirlington that was good, but not amazing. We came to Corso for weekend brunch, which is $29 for all you can eat small plates. You can have up to two plates per person on the table at a time, and there's a good mix of classic brunch dishes (like berries, pancakes, and eggs benedict), Italian mains (a few different pastas and meatballs), and side dishes (olives with cheese, carrots with ricotta). I think it's helpful to be aware that most of the plates are absolutely tiny here. We honestly laughed when we got the pastas, because they were literally on plates the size of teacup saucers- there were not more than two or three mouthfuls on most of the dishes. The same was true with the berry bowl, it was literally two strawberries and four blueberries. It's strange because some of the dishes are a little more full-sized, like the little gem salad, but most of the portions are extremely small. It's nice because you get to try a lot of different things, and I understand that for an AYCE option it typically is not full-sized portions, but it also seems a little silly for something like pasta (pesto spaghetti is not a costly item) to give such a teeny portion. You definitely cannot share most of the plates. Overall, the food was good but not outstanding. There were a few things we really enjoyed. The Corso honey toast was our favorite- it was focaccia topped with ricotta, honey, and pistachios, super delicious and really unique. We also really enjoyed the pesto spaghetti dish. They also had one of the best espresso martinis I've had- it was a little less traditional because it had Kahlua and Bailey's as well, but it almost tasted like a milkshake, it was so delicious! Some of the other dishes fell flat- the eggs Benedict was just okay, and the meatballs really needed salt. I was a little surprised that with the brunch deal, there was not also an accompanying beverage deal- you had to order each drink separately and they weren't specially priced. I believe mimosas and Bellinis were $9 and the espresso martini was $14. Our server was excellent and very attentive, but the team was a little all over the place- some of our plates got lost in the mix and had to be re-ordered, and we saw a few of our specific orders get brought to multiple other tables (not ours) and then back to the kitchen. There was one specific runner who seemed really out of it, so I don't know if this was a more universal problem or just an issue with that person. I think the advantage with a place like Corso is there is something for everyone, and I would absolutely come back for HH or to try one of their other meals- brunch just was not a wow for us. But I'd come back for the espresso martini any day! read more

I've tried this place three times and all three have been disappointing. I first tried it when the first opened. I had pasta and the tomato sauce was overly sweet - not pomodoro sweet - like desert sweet. I'm guessing they were trying to cut the acidity which worked as I had no taste of acidity behind the syrupy sweetness of the sauce. A year or so ago, I figured I'd give them a second chance. This time I had pasta with sausage, broccoli rabe and fennel which was pretty good, but not really worth getting again. Seeing a sign for a new lunch menu, I gave it one last shot. I ordered the meatball sub. What I got was like something an AI would make if you asked for a meatball sub. The bun was splayed open and the meatballs, sauce and cheese set up on top across the whole thing, making it almost impossible to close the sandwich. When I tried, the overly toasted bread started to break apart. At this point I figured I'd just eat it with a knife and a fork. I could not cut the rubbery mat of cheese with my knife. The whole thing was one massive mass that simply moved with the knife strokes. I gave up and pushed it away. There was only one other couple in the whole place. After what seemed like 10 mins or so, the server came by looked at the uneaten food, and asked if I was done. I said yes, just the check. They came back with the check, never asked if there was an issue and charged full price. read more

This pasta is good. Full stop. Honestly came for brunch and opted to just do pasta à la carte. I had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo which was quite literally the most flavorful and tasty Alfredo I've had in years, and the pasta is clearly homemade and cooked to perfection. My friend got the rigatoni which she also raved about. We also got cannolis and tiramisu which were the perfect way to end the meal, light and tasty. The waiter mentioned that they brought us out the wrong size of the dessert so he brought us out two extra servings to take home, above and beyond service and quick delicious food. We will certainly be back. read more

Corso Italian - Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Rigatoni Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We have been eating at corso every week or every other week on and off for about 2 months and have enjoyed it. Good service good food. Becoming our go to spot. Last night was an exception and this is a review for restaurant manager awareness. Service was ... chaotic. We heard 5 separate broken dish episodes, two at the bar, one in the bar dining room. In the dining room - the waitresses were in such a frenzy to reset tables that they almost hit my husband with a chair - seriously. And the other broke a heavy glass in her rush to reset a table in an empty dining room. It was bizarre and bad. Appetizers were noticeably late - we think the server forgot to put them in. She was attentive though so it was strange. Our main dishes were poor. Vodka chicken? Over cooked. Orchiete w broccolini and sausage? Gray and tasteless. The rigatoni bolognese was okay but not a reason to return in this competitive market. The Caesar salad was drowned in dressing and a fortune of parmigiana. It was pretty clear that the chef is not tasting what s/he is serving and that restaurant floor management has changed. I strongly recommend you review what is happening and make immediate changes or be on site. This was on Friday night April 17 at about 830 - prime time. We would like to come back but ... management needs to reassert itself or change. read more

This is such a cute Italian spot in the heart of Shirlington. This is great for a date night or girls night out with friends. The interior is really beautiful and fancy, but not too snotty if that makes sense. You can definitely stop in here for a quick bite to eat or enjoy a long date night. The service is always incredibly friendly and quick. My favorite thing on their menu is there, Bolognese But tonight I was feeling basic and got the spaghetti with meatballs. Such a beautiful spot that I think should be more busy. Parking can be free across the street, but there's also a paid street parking read more
