BENVENUTI (Welcome!)
Welcome to Il Corso!
The main street. The avenue. The strip with multiple shops.
With a legacy of over 50 years of serving Melbourne, we offer a journey through Italys’ rustic culinary landscape, right in the heart of Laverton: reflecting our commitment to being the cornerstone in the hearts of our guests.
As our ancestors journeyed to Australia, they carried with them the essence of Italian culinary tradition: olive oil, garlic, pizza, pasta, wine, and coffee. These cherished ingredients have woven themselves into the fabric of our culture, shaping the vibrant cuisine and coffee culture we proudly call our own. We are thankful to our Italian families—our mothers, nonna’s, and aunties—for generously sharing and preserving their timeless recipes, brimming with the goodness of simple, fresh ingredients.
Our mission is simple: to provide authentic, rustic flavours while offering our guests the warmth of home. Bon Appetit.

Our first time dining here tonight, and we were so impressed! The food was absolutely delicious — both the pizza and pasta were full of flavour and perfectly cooked.
The service was outstanding. We were looked after by two lovely ladies, Nicole and Linda, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed & paid special attention to our daughter. Nothing was too much trouble, and their friendly, attentive service really made the evening special.
We’ll definitely be back! ♡
First time there tonight to try the pizza and I’m happy to say I have found my new favourite regular pizza place. Only had pizza tonight but really excited to try pasta and other mains.
The pizzas had delicious and generous toppings, tandoori chicken had the perfect about of spice with fresh spinach and mint yogurt - delicious!
The Ortolana vegetable pizza is what I have been searching for. Generous vegetable toppings. Pizza base perfect thickness , not so thick that it dominates, but not so thin that loses structural integrity under the toppings.
All up, everything perfectly balanced in terms of both flavour, structure, and presentation.
Looking forward to my next visit!
Food was very flavorful and portion size was great. Nicole was very friendly and a great server. I highly recommend eating here.
Wonderful food made by extremely friendly staff, cannot recommend enough. Proper authentic Aussie Italian food. You can tell their food is made with love with fresh ingredients and homemade recipes. Will be my go to Italian restaurant from now on.
In a word, this place is EXCEPTIONAL!
We had a fantastic Italian dinner at Il Corso! Food was amazing and the service was even better. Such genuine warmth from owners Joe and Maria and their son Nicholas as well as all their individual service staff. They really made us feel like we were dining in some Nonna's home!
This restaurant is proud to be 'old school'. Joe has been cooking amazing Italian food since 1971 and the standard really shows. When you go, make sure you ask for their fresh homemade chili oil, that stuff is insanely good!
They’ve only opened just 3 months ago. So glad the west has such a good Italian restaurant! Highly recommended!
