Bar Del Corso

The pizza was very good (as was the case on other visits). Still unimpressive wine selections (by the glass and bottle).Service was among the worst we've ever experienced. The woman "helping" us was unfriendly, actively rude, and obstinate. Examples: my husband was mid-sentence ordering a drink when we first arrived and she said "well, I'll let you think about it" and quickly walked away. Later, he ordered a glass of wine, which she forgot to bring. Even later, when ordering dessert, I asked her whether there were any fruit or nuts in the desserts we were considering ... I asked where what was in/on the rum baba ... she told me "whipped cream" ... I confirmed with her no fruit? She said "whipped cream". Well, it came with cherries and a cherry sauce all over the cake and whipped cream ... I'm allergic to cherries (and many other fruits ... that's why I asked). The chocolate dessert had hazelnuts, after she told us there were no nuts. I'm allergic to certain nuts too. Her obstinance was not only rude, but could result in a MEDICAL SITUATION for guests ... from other reviews, it seems this woman could be the person who is providing abysmal service to other guests too ... it seems she either needs training, or perhaps a role outside of the service industry.To the manager/owners : please look at the rude service reviews and address them ... I would like to come back for the well prepared/fresh food, but will not be doing so (and will not be recommending this restaurant to others) until there is respectful/respectable service.

As the reviews reflect-there is nothing wrong with the food. It is delicious, well prepared, fresh ingredients, innovative. What this restaurant seems to forget is that they are a SERVICE industry and staff is an integral part of the quality of the experience. The "Crew" on their website are "not the droids you're looking for" didn't see any of them while we dined. The hostess/bar tender we met walking in looked like she had a turd under her nose the entire night. Our wait person was surly in the beginning, tried to rally which we appreciated. But It was short lived. The tip reflected that. In the seattle world of so many amazing places to dine, I'm not sure why the owners are comfortable with a group of wait staff that clearly want to be ANYWHERE else. The fact that these reviews continue, and nothing is changing, tells me The owners care as little about customer experience as the staff they employ does. It's a shame

I was apprehensive after reading the many recent reviews complaining about service, but we wanted to try the food so we went anyway. The service we received was actually very nice and we didn't experience the rude waitress the other reviews mentioned. The pizzas were great, typical wood fired pizza with fresh ingredients and a charred/chewy texture. I thought the real star of the show was the appetizers! We got the fried risotto and burrata toast and both were delicious. We sat on the heated patio which was pleasant and warm. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived for our 5:15 reservation but by the time we were leaving it was filling up.

Pizza (crust) was delicious, got the funghi. Also ordered octopus (it was good, but wish it came with bread to soak up the sauce), and the baby lettuce salad. More than enough for two people, but I got to take leftovers home.We had made reservations about a day ahead, and were seated in the patio. I hated sitting outdoors, it was incredibly loud and it felt like everyone was shouting to be able to hear. Seating is pretty close together, both inside and outside. I think the ambiance is set up to look intimate and cozy but there's too many people crammed in (and it was at full capacity on a Tuesday night). Happy they have business, but I probably wouldn't consider this a go-to date spot!

We have been coming to Bar Del Corso for years and it has been one of our favorite spots that we constantly recommend to friends and bring visitors. The ambiance is wonderful and the food is excellent - I have lived in Italy and the food brings me back. However, we've decided to take this restaurant off of our date night rotation and stop recommending it due to the rude service. When we dined last weekend our server did not welcome us and, echoing many other reviews, acted inconvenienced to have to serve our table. She gave surly responses to perfectly reasonable questions about the menu that seemed aimed at trying to make us feel stupid or unsophisticated. This is not the experience that we get a babysitter and plan for weeks in advance.It's sad, but unless we hear that there is a significant change in the service then we won't be back and won't be recommending this restaurant to others.

Let's start with the good. Great food, cool little spot with a heated outdoor area. The pizza was so freaking good! Definitely putting that dough at the top of my all time. The service was horrible. I am pretty sure the server in the striped denim outfit couldn't care less that we were there. She was super short with us, didn't smile and seemed overwhelmed. The other staff was friendly but she ruined the experience

Wow I forgot what good food this place has. We ordered the salami pizza and it was so good...just like I remembered it. I forgot how much better it is than a few of the other local pizza joints in the area. We also ordered the clams, the risotto balls and the arugula salad. Everything was delicious and really sparked my interest that I need to come back more often.The only downside is that they don't really keep tables open for walk ins (which every restaurant does) so they told us we only had an hour and 15 minutes to eat because of a reservation that was made. Also they served us house wine in like a cup of some sort (reminded me of a cat bowl) and was immediately turned off especially since the table next to us had actual wine glasses. Don't really know what was up with that but we asked for wine glasses instead to replace such cat bowls.We are on their patio out back and it actually wasn't bad. They had covers and it was heated so we actually enjoyed it out there..couldn't even tell it was drizzling outside.Service was good. Pizza does take awhile to come out so make sure if you're starving to put that order in first.

They have a charming heated and covered back patio that was perfect for celebrating our close friend's 50th birthday! We were fortunate to be seated at a comfortable corner table close to the heaters. The shareable plates were wonderful with moist meatballs, delightful cod fritters (we loved this dish so much so that we ordered a second order), clams, mussels, prosciutto de parma, and arancini (we almost ordwra second portion of this as well--it was so good!). We also ordered the fontina which although good would almost skip next time due to its size and it wasn't as extraordinary as the other shareable plates we tried. The pizza was good but I wish we had ordered the margarita since while the funghi was enjoyed by most in our group, I found the cheese to be a bit overpowering. The service started out a bit aloof but they gradually warmed up and it was a wonderful evening.... would love to head back!

We got lucky with street parking right around the corner but realize had we not found that spot, it probably would have been quite the search. Fun little place with a crazy high noise level. We ordered family style with small plates to share and our server did a nice job letting us know which dishes he would ask the kitchen to add an extra bite to so we could share equally and not have to negotiate who would be left out.Heads up on drinks; there is one white wine and one red wine that are served in a vessel that closely resembles my little cat's water bowl. We ordered a cider and that came in the same 7oz glass for a 12oz price. The mixed drinks were tasty and, in case you're wondering, served in actual drink glasses.The printed menu is supplemented by a specials board that is definitely worth ordering from.We ordered one plate each of arancini and meatballs and highly recommend both. We also had the arugula salad, which was fine, and a butternut squash risotto that used faro instead of pasta. It was warm and comforting. The pizzas are a must! We ordered two and between four people did not have a single leftover piece. We also had cod fritters that we all agreed were a miss.Days later I was still thinking about the arancini and meatballs, so let me drive it home that you have to get them.

I thought it was below average for the price point.Margherita pizza: the crust was ok. On the softer size which I tend to like, but it wasn't my favorite this time. The flavor level of the sauce was very low. I definitely would have preferred more flavor from the sauce. Overall there was also a low level of saltiness, which perhaps was why it just lacked flavor in general.Fried risotto balls: Nice crisp on the outside, but lacked salt and seasoning. The tomato sauce also didn't come through for me. I definitely could have used some extra as dipping sauce to get more flavor and some contrast.I got a side of bread and it was ok. Pretty fresh and nice sourdough flavor, although the crust was bad. It was hard. Not in the sense where it's crispy and gives you a satisfying crunch, it was moreso just thick and hard to chew.I liked the drink I got. It was some sort of Italian soda with a bitter orange and vanilla flavor. It tasted decently good and I appreciate the novelty.The panna cotta was also good. Probably my favorite part of the meal. Very fresh.The service was fine. Nothing noteworthy that I could think of.
