| - I'm giving this a "Meh. I've experienced better." Husband and I checked out Corso's after hearing numerous good things about it. Maybe we're spoiled by our Columbus favorite, Villa Nova, but this place just didn't do it for me. I wanted to like it, I wanted to like it so bad, but it was just "meh." I mean, it wasn't bad, by any means, but it just wasn't a diamond in the rough. I read a review saying it smelled musty - I didn't notice that, it was fine. Lots of elders eating when we dined, must be a local-favorite.
Not a very good beer list [but who goes to Italian for the beer?] Other waitresses seemed very attentive...Our waitress was nice, albeit non-attentive and slow [we weren't rushing.] She recommended the fried mozzarella. She said they were homemade. They were pretty standard to me. They also serve bread, so the app was unnecessary. The bread is just pretty basic Italian bread, but it is served with a very good garlic butter to dip it in. That was delicious! I ordered chicken parmesan and the husband got spaghetti with meat sauce. They came with salads. Standard iceburg, good poppyseed dressing, not anything unusual. Entrees were also both standard, nothing to call home about, but still tasty. I would never salivate over this place, but if you want Italian you shouldn't rule it out. I liked the noodles, the spaghetti was thinner than when you buy it at the store, which I enjoy [I usually like angel hair.]
My nana has always raved about this place - specifically because they've kept the weiner shnitzel on the menu from the old owners or something like that. I can't attest to it, and I'm sure she hasn't had it in about 20 years, but she always says it's great.
Worth the visit to try something new, but don't expect the best thing you've ever eaten.
