Great service and a fantastic dinner. The house made goat ricotta is something that is rare to find in such a high quality. The prosecco is a good start with the antipasti and we chose a lighter red for dinner. Salted hazelnut torte was a nice finish.

Food was really good but waiting between each course was a downside for us. we allow 2 hours for dinner before heading into a show. This 2 hours were not enough, I found my self eating to fast and asking for the check as soon as we got our dessert because everything is slow. No real time to enjoy a drink with my dessert. We also noticed that some people were getting food before us.

Everything about this place is great. The goat ricotta is nothing short of delicious and they have a great wine selection. We went as a group of 4 and ordered a bunch of different things to eat as share plates. Got to try a bit of everything and I am happy I we did. Some of the best Italian I've had.

It is a very intimate restaurant. As in tiny. There is barely any space between the tables. Also it is dimly lit. As in very dark - I could barely see the food I was eating. Regardless of this the meal was still enjoyable as the taste of the food was the focus anyways.

Their arrogance is absolutely ridiculous, their food and service aren't even in the top 5 best Italian in Edmonton. Didn't see anyone who gave a darn either. You have to jump through hoops for the reservation, then they the stack you on top of table next to you.

A disappointment
October 06, 2013

We ate at Corso 32 following glowing reviews from friends and some online reviews that said it was the best eating in Edmonton. We were disappointed. To begin, we were given a 10:30 pm reservation. That's fine, we were happy for a late dinner. But the service wasn't great. The waitress made it very clear that she wanted to go... more

September 18, 2013

Just came back from dinner at Corso 32 with 7 friends. I had heard a lot about the restaurant for a couple of years and this was my first time there. It was a lot smaller than I had thought, but not terribly intimate. I would probably recommend it more for groups of 4 or more than a couple. The... more

September 17, 2013

First timer at Corso. I had only heard good things about it and have been wanting to go for a while, so I was excited to finally eat there. Reservations needed to be made about a week in advance when we called, which was no problem. I ordered the Garganelli pasta, which was absolutely delicious. The serving wasn't overly generous... more

Exceptional Food, Service Is Lacking
September 13, 2013

First, I waited months to try to get reservations here. A trip to Edmonton for us is usually a spontaneous decision, so I planned a weekend well in advance in order to experience this restaurant. We had reservations for 4. We dressed up in our finest (this is not something we get to do a lot) and walked from the... more

A treat for the taste buds
September 07, 2013

My husband and I went to Corso 32 for our anniversary last weekend. We have been there once before, and once again enjoyed the lovely meal. We started with the Arancini for an appetizer - oh so delicious. I had the Black Cod, which was tasty and served with an interesting salad I've never had before and my husband had... more

Not as good as its reputation
August 31, 2013

Corso 32 is one of Edmonton's most popular restaurants. Reservations are hard to come by and the staff insistent that one eats up to let the next customers in. It is being enlarged, however, which may help in that respect. The menu is a restricted one, no bad thing given the quality of the ingredients and, in the main, the... more

Epic fail
August 18, 2013

I have eaten here a number of times and think it is a great restaurant. They have been cited for a bad attitude on a number of occasions. Let me add to that.
I went there Sunday night with a friend shortly after 10. The place was about half full. I asked if we could get a table. We were... more

This 34 seat restaurant has some of the best food in the city. Try all of the appetizers, none will disappoint. The pasta is hand made. Everything on the menu if well thought out and executed. The wine menu is Italian inspired but has many to choose from. The service is attentive and professional.

Excellent food, service and space (small but cozy
July 22, 2013

Talking about restaurants what it matters is the food offering, quality and service. Price should be the last variable to assess. The food was great; our group tried different things and all was great. Very nice collection of grappa (hundreds of years I did not try). Recommended the ravioli and the quail... delicious. Price is according to the quality received:... more

This is a fun restaurant to try if your pockets are deep, you like sharing your conversation with those sitting very close to you, even if they are not your dates. There is a seating arrangement if you are wanting to meet new diners and sit with them at a shared table. Personally at the price point I prefer chosen... more

Corso 32 is a fantastic restaurant. We've been twice now on Saturday nights, both times we've made that reservation two months in advance. It's worth the wait and anticipation!
The house made goat ricotta comes in a generous serving size and is creamy and delicious. And an order of the Arancini is an absolute requirement to start your meal. Over... more

Back in Amalfi
April 21, 2013

Sunday evening dinner prepared Italian style. This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. We started with a frosted glass of Profumi della Costiera Limoncello with Nocellara del belice olives and House made goat ricotta as appetizers (more than enough for 4 never mind 2). My wife had the pasta special and I had the Trout "Mandorla" with... more

Amazing and unique
April 07, 2013

The food here is beautiful, thoughtful and completely up this foodie's alley. Service was impeccable and the space is unique - small and industrial. Bookings up to 8 weeks in advance - make the reservations ahead as far as you can... it can take awhile to get in.

My friend snagged a reservation for two on a whim the last time I was visiting Edmonton. I was hesitant initially as I am often underwhelmed by restaurants with huge accolades. Both our meal and service were exceptional and I would consider returning to Edmonton again just to dine at this restaurant (should I be fortunate enough to get another... more

March 19, 2013

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Edmonton. Almost a victim of it's own success though - took me an age to get a reservation as they were always 'fully booked', yet when we went there were several empty tables - made me think people were reserving ahead just in case.
Anyway, once we were there I was impressed. Food... more

Went here after finally getting a reservation, and we feared that all the hype would make our expectations too high. Luckily all the food was absolutely fantastic!

This is the place to go for excellent food in Edmonton. Delicious Italian food. Amazing hand made pasta and other dishes. The wine list is excellent as well. I have not had a bad experience here and I have gone few times.

They are really doing it right. This is a diamond in the rough (Edmonton's downtown core).

Corso 32 only has room for 34 guests. They are very popular so it can take weeks to get a reservation. The wait is worth it. The food is excellent. The room is cozy but very noisy - we had trouble carrying on a conversation as it was hard to hear.

I had heard much about this restaurant before trying and all said the food was fantastic although the venue might be a little wanting. My experience was just the opposite, the dining room was a little cramped and loud but it was not too bad. On the other hand I thought the food was remarkably poor. Massive overuse of lemon juice, overcooked gnocchi, dirty deep fryer tasting rice balls, really... more

Corso 32 is a great addition to downtown Edmonton’s dining scene. This place specializes in handcrafted pasta that makes every dish a standout. The gnocchi alla carbonara, and the arancini with mushrooms and fontina deserve a special mention. In addition to pasta, they offers are delicious traditional specialties that reflect the country’s culinary heritage. Generous portions contrast the small... more
