My wife and went to dinner for our anniversary. The hostess, the person who seated us, and our waiter all knew this and congratulated us. Even a special menu was printed for us that said, “Happy Anniversary” on it.

Went here for a girls night. We got seated at the sushi counter and let me give props to the sushi chefs. They were making rolls non stop! Good cocktails, good rolls and most importantly fresh fish.

It’s rare to find a place where the food, wine, atmosphere, and hospitality all come together so perfectly. You can truly feel the love and care that go into every detail. The owners Alessandro , chef de cuisine Christian , both managers Giancarlo and Paco were warm, welcoming, and passionate about creating a memorable experience for every guest. Our server Milagros was attentive, friendly, and professional, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the evening. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great Italian cuisine, wonderful wine, and genuine hospitality. We will definitely be back! 🇮🇹❤️

Dinner was excellent, my wife and I both had the short ribs and split a twice baked potato. Our server, Seana was exceptionally nice, very informative and was a joy to work with. This is the 2nd time we have eaten at Corinne's, but I can guarantee we will be back again.

A great selection of quality sake, high quality otoro and uni, at the same time having well made more “normal” izakaya food with their own twist. Definitely earned a repeat visit. Highly recommend 💫

    We had an early reservation for Happy Hour. A great way to try a bunch of different bites to choose a favorite. We then ordered the seafood paella once dinner service started which was delicious. We sat on the patio with amazing views and service was excellent!
