Bar Corso is more than just an apparition of Italian culture - it is the missing piece of Italian ethos on Vancouver's beloved Commercial Drive. Purposefully nestled into the heart of Little Italy, we are a tasting lounge, here for you to taste different regions of Italy through our cocktails, wines, grappa, Amari, and modern Cicchetti.

    Great food, loud music. At times hard to carry a conversation without yelling. Good service.

    We had a great time at Bar Corso on a Friday night. The food was absolutely delicious, although portions could’ve been larger… I like to eat! We were a group of girls that shared a few dishes and the gnocchi and venison pappardelle was amazing. Burrata salad was so fresh and delicious. There were two servers that frequented our table and I wish I could remember their names because they made our evening very enjoyable. I know for one of them it was their very first night serving and he did an outstanding job. Very friendly!

    Always amazing at Bar Corso. The menu is inspiring and always changes based on what is in season. Quality ingredients and always treated the best. Chef Luke Boswell is a genius, eat here before they get their Michelin star and you can’t get a table. Also their cocktails are 👌🏻

    Very cute spot with a nice ambience. Food was very good, specifically the burrata. The servers had a foul attitude.
