Absolutely delighted with our experience at this newly opened family-run Italian restaurant! The quaint and warm atmosphere immediately makes you feel at home. The service is extremely attentive and friendly, making us feel like cherished guests. The quality of the food is exceptional - every dish is bursting with authentic flavours and cooked to perfection. This place has quickly become our new favourite, and we look forward to returning for many more meals. Highly recommend! Thank you so much guys, can't wait to come back! Might have to order through Uber Eats in the interim until we return! :) (Sorry, we missed a few other photos of the other dishes we ordered, we were too excited to eat!)

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!

Wow what a restaurant. We come to Melbourne once a year & last year we stumbled across this place (2024). What can I say the food is to die for the staff are so friendly & welcoming the atmosphere is great & it's always busy. We are in Melbourne now again 2025 & we've been here 3 times this week & had the best meals ever. Tonight Friday is our last time here before leaving back to Adelaide. We will definitely be back next year, keep up the great work guys..... cheers, Chenzo

Tonight myself and 3 girlfriends were venturing out for dinner and a catch up. We usually stay local. We decided to try Il Corso and we are all so glad we did!
Staff were all really friendly, made great recommendations and nothing was too much trouble. My friend needs gluten free food and there were some tasty options for her. Staff were really accommodating and helpful ensuring she enjoyed her meal to.
We all had pasta & risotto dishes and they were beautiful!. The food was tasty, hot, really reasonable portions and very reasonable prices. House wine was lovely. We are all so keen to go back!!

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.
