bar del corso

jerry corso's restaurant - bar del corso - is a hidden neighborhood gem in the beacon hill area of seattle. read on to learn about jerry's philosophy on food, community and la vita e bella!

i was especially taken by the presence of green veggies on both of these pizzas. both the greens and the rapini got a tasty brown char in the hot pizza oven that was really special

poor service and shocking restaurant policy. just returned home from bar del corso in beacon hill. i asked a few questions about the menu and the server was obviously very rushed with her answers. i ordered the romano pizza and didn't realize it came with anchovies. when the pizza arrived, my girlfriend and i each took one bite and set our slices down. it was horribly salty. yes, i understand anchovies are salty, but this pie had an entire salt shaker thrown on top of it. we asked if the pizza could be changed for another pizza. the server pushed back hard stating all ingredients were listed on the menu but eventually agreed to change the pie for another one. second pie ordered was much better but nothing to write home to mom about. when the bill arrived, both pizzas were listed. i questioned why the anchovies salt pie was not removed as none of it was even consumed. she firmly stated it was the restaurants policy not to removed orders unless a mistake was made. i then firmly told the server i'd remove that amount from the bill myself, which i did, and left cash. i also left my name, address, and phone number on back of bill so the owner can call me if he wants more information. i've never eaten at a restaurant where an entree was ordered that i was unhappy with and not had it removed from the bill. horrible service and shocking restaurant policy...but the silver lining...i will never return which means i will never have to eat there again.

fantastic food. great prices. beautiful and comfortable environment. very friendly and knowledgeable staff. was recommended to me and i would absolutely recommend it!!!

i was long overdue to get to beacon hill to try bar del corso, a pleasant neighborhood spot. the main draw is the assortment of wood-fired pizzas, but the small plates, salads, and salumi are also high-quality.

bar del corso you are one of my favorite pizza joints in seattle. fat cuts of mozzarella, tasty salami & sausage, and more flavors make me wanting to come back. side dishes progress you to the main course. don’t forget the housemade meatballs and the ricotta balls. i wish you were a go-to place but that line…makes you very hard to go-to. share this: twitter facebook google like this: like loading... march 2, 2014 in pizza . tags: bar del corso , pizza related

best italian small plates - period. amazing italian small plates from a chef who knows what he is presenting to people. the pizza is the best and most authentic in the city. the menu is always seasonal. don't forget about dessert!

the burratta changed my life.

hands down the best pizza in town. beacon hill's much needed local pizza joint.

very bad service

the crust was charred perfectly but my favorite part of any pizza is the cheese and it didn't disappoint.

sooo happy to have an incredibly delicious italian restaurant on beacon hill.

this place is beacon hill’s little secret gem. i came here for one of my friend’s surprise birthday dinner (word is he loves this place). the restaurant doesn’t take reservations, but was able to accommodate our large group. we had to a wait a little though for tables to clear so that the staff could pull several together for us. the wait was totally worth it. everything we ordered that i was able to sample was really good!! food was very flavorful. probably some of the best italian i’ve ever had. i must go back again when i get the chance.

next came a burrata with heirloom tomatoes, a chiffonade of basil, another drizzle of that fantastic olive oil and a grind or two of black pepper.

everyone talks about the pizze, but i am here to say, "save room for dessert!!!"  ok, back-up...either get there early or plan to wait a bit, it's worth it.  tell the hostess you can sit at the bar, it's the best seat in the house.  order a cool cocktail or something on tap, start with one of the small plates, my favorites are either the grilled octopus or the manila clams...yum!  there is always a specials board, creative seasonal items that are always a winner, so pick something off that list too.  we always pick the pizze on the specials board, so i have no idea how the other pizze are like, delicious i am sure. here's the deal, don't eat so much so you'll have to skip dessert and a perfect espresso, you will never know what you're missing.  i have never been disappointed with the desserts at bar del corso.  the last dessert i had was the cherry polenta cake...so good!!!  go check it out yourself, maybe i'll see you there.
