Busiate with pistachio-mint pesto and wood-oven pizza
Busiate with pistachio-mint pesto, Ravioli all’Aurora, Branzino alla griglia, and Neapolitan Margherita Pizza frame il Corso around Sicilian-leaning Italian cooking and wood-oven pizza. That range suits dinner built around pasta, fish, and pizza rather than a single-format order.
Extensive wine, open kitchen, and private dining
The open kitchen and private dining setup give the restaurant more than one way to use the room, while upscale casual service and conversational noise support a leisurely dinner. Wine has a broad role, and the kitchen works with nearby producers.
