Reviews for Corelli's Italian Cafe
This evening this hole in the wall, and yes that's exactly what it is, served my two year old daughter spoiled milk!! When I complained, no offer of reparation was made and I was still left to pay for the spoiled beverage. How incompetent can they be?! If they can't handle a simple food product as milk which is the only healthy drink offered for their most vulnerable customers, imagine the lack of quality and conscientiousness missing from the preparation of the rest of their fare! I know the economy is bad and restaurants have been hit but, come on, this is ridiculous to carry milk beyond it's expiration.

I went with my co-worker for lunch. Wow, I didn't expect everything to be so great. It is small and quaint. Food and service were way above our expectations. The manager was really friendly and made sure everything was PERFECT! Try the Lasagna, its awesome. I would recommend.

Prompt service, relatively authentic food, everything was well prepared and tasty- no complaints.
We had bruchetta, eggplant parmesan and snapper napoli. They also have whole wheat pasta to substitute for $1. The location was busy but not crowded on a Sunday evening and had a good, casual ambience.
Pros: good italian food, convenient
Cons: would like to see a more extensive menu

The veal corelli was AMAZING, as was the tomato basil soup. Seriously people - unbelivable. We tried this on a long shot after our first three tries were closed (apparently, every Italian joint in Houston closes on Sundays). We drove past Corelli's and decided to give it a shot since I was craving veal. Couldn't have been happier! Our server was great, our food was mind-blowing, and the BYOB was nice since we already had a bottle of merlot in the car. We sat outside and lingered over soup and appetizers, entrees and a dessert... service was prompt and friendly without being overbearing or rushed. We'll be frequent visitors now!
Pros: Service, Food, Value, BYOB
Cons: None!

Thank god I have finally found a good Italian Restaurant to replace the horror we've come know as The Olive Garden. Corelli's has such a great variety of entrees and the food actually tastes like its been cooked and not nuked in some microwave. I'm not big on vegetarian entrees, but their eggplant parmesan is to die for! The restaurant has such a cozy, mom n'pop feel to it, so it seems like you've just been invited into an Italian's house for dinner. I highly recommend giving this place a try!!
Pros: Great food, Creative dishes
Cons: Service can be slow most of the time

stopped by last night. over 10 minutes went by and not one person waited on us. i took a look at the menu and dialed the number of the cafe on my cell. a waiter sitting down at a table preparing tableware answered and i asked him "how long does it take to get served in this place?" he got up quick and came over to the table. plates were delicious. desert in particular. but i felt they failed in hospitality. don t judge a book by it's cover.
