Corelli's Italian Cafe

I love that they opened the door as I approached with my 99 year grandma in her wheelchair. Chrissy was our server she was amazing kind and attentive. I’m actually disappointed to have to give 3 stars but the food was just alright. Nothing stood out food wise except maybe the Lemon Blueberry cake but my grandma kept saying she didn’t get any blueberry as she ate it. The zucchini was super thin and was mostly batter that wasn’t really seasoned. The salad look like something you would get at a school cafeteria with one tomatoe and just iceberg lettuce a few shredded carrots and some olives. The chicken Parmesan was a nice size portion but lacked flavor. Moscato was good. The garlic bread they serve was okay but there is not any olive oil seasoning to dip it in. Again the service was outstanding in the whole restaurant the food just wasn’t there.

I was visiting Sugar Land and passed this restaurant on my way to a doctor’s appointment, glad I came back by and stopped in! It’s very hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant in the area I live, so Corelli’s was definitely a breath of fresh air. I came in at about lunch time and was surprised that there wasn’t too much of a crowd and was able to get a seat at the bar by myself. The lady who worked bar on Tuesday at about noon alongside her trainee were both very helpful and kind and always were there to assist when needed, and it was awesome watching them make the espresso and steam the milk for me. I ordered the Lunch Shrimp Florentine and was pleasantly surprised by the portion, I had a whole other meal to take home afterward! The shrimp were large and flavourful, the pasta was tender, and the vegetables added wonderful and refreshing variety to the dish. With the lunch special dish plus espresso, I only spent about $23 for myself. The atmosphere is pleasant and authentic, chairs were comfortable at the bar, and the view outside is gorgeous. If I’m ever back in Sugar Land and have some extra cash, I’ll definitely come back!

Glows- Service was good. Grows- I ordered the fettuccine pasta with grilled chicken. Chicken and pasta was bland. One bite I had to ask for salt and pepper because it didn’t seem like that was used either. The chicken was tough to chew. Once I added that on my dish it still was NOT satisfying. I asked for my check and to go container. Took it home to add a little RAZZLE DAZZLE of my own. If you go take your own seasoning.

Awesome service at bar. Sandra was great. Superb experience. Also had gluten free baked pasta. Sub for tortellini for gf pasta

Family style restaurant, love the skinny bread sticks. My second time visit with them. Service was great as well as the food. My son who is a picky eater love the place.

This is our second visit, and this has become my favorite Italian restaurant in Sugar Land. The appetizers and bread were delicious ! We ordered three main courses: Lunch Pork Chop Marsala, Pepper pasta, and Pasta with tomato cream sauce and vegetables. The flavors were very well-balanced. The pork chop stood out the most—the sauce was amazing, with hints of garlic and wine, along with a delightful white wine aroma. The mushrooms soaked in the sauce added a nice touch. The pork chop itself had a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy texture, making it incredibly delicious. It’s also vegetarian-friendly, as most of the pasta sauces are vegetarian. A great spot for gathering with friends! The staff provided excellent service as well!

Fantastic service and food. Really can't complain. Spent about $50 a person after appetizers and desert. A bit more than many places we eat but not by much. Food was hot and delicious. Deserts were too.

Their Snapper Napoli would have been good if only they weren’t frugal on their lemon butter sauce. It looks pretty dry! I even asked for extra lemon butter sauce on the side. Instead, they gave me extra spaghetti sauce on the side. Really?!?!

The food is excellent took me back to my Italian roots my favorite is the creamy chicken pesto the best server is the best server is Jose but all the servers are all really friendly and the ambience is really nice and calm great place definitely recommended

We've been eating there a couple times a month since my original review and nothing has changed other than the Manager John is not longer there. The food is awesome, the place is still like a small cafe in Italy and has a great ambiance. So good job Corelli's.

My husband and i had a fantastic meal here and our server George is the best! We will be asking for him a for all our future visits 5 star experience! Ambiance is very nice!

Corellis is an Italian restaurant delight. All their dishes are chock full of flavor and fresh herbs in every bite! We've been coming to this sugarland texas local restaurant for many years and they never disappoint. They have a menu full of Italian favorites but my fav is something off menu called the "pepper pasta". It is just devine with extra sundried tomatoes and slices of roasted garlic. I have never had it at any other restaurant. Hubby likes their seafood choices. Salmon, shrimp in the various pasta dishes. Yum yum. But this time, he was over the moon with the pesto pasta with chicken. The service is spot on with veey nice wine selections. They have a front area, bar casual eating area, an outside area and the romantic back room area. While not a huge restaurant it takes you to Italy with every bite. Sure, with other more "fancy" italian restaurants with more marketed names (or more common chain named restaurants) you can get basic Italian but at Corelli's you get a mouthful of flavor. Best Italian in Sugarland !! And it is priced right!!

I had the HRW lunch menu: house salad, pork chop, and canolli as dessert. There was complimentary wine too. The house salad was made with fresh vegetables but needed more dressing. The pork chop was a thick cut and was a good portion. There was a nice sear on it but it was dry. In addition, there was too much sauce flowing around the plate. The canolli was the biggest disappointment. A small shell encased with thick whipped cream, and I couldn't taste any ricotta cheese. The canolli casing itself was slightly thick too. Lunch time could get busy but there are plenty of seats available if you have a big group. Complimentary breadsticks and garlic bread are served at the table. The breadsticks were bland, and the garlic bread was served cold. The garlic bread tasted like overnight bread; soft and hard at the same time. I don't foresee myself dining here again.

I was there at lunch time, not busy. Only us and 2 other tables. Food was slow. But when we had the bill, it "included 20% guaranty" for 2 people and under 40$ bill ???!!

My husband I ate at Corelli's today . The service and the food were very good . We had eaten there before and the service and the food were good at that time as well . He and I will be " more" frequent customers.

The food was amazing. I sat here and was greeted immediately. I was sat very quickly. The ambience is very bright. It gives a great vibe in here. The food is great. The cheesecake is creamy. The wine is crisp. Mallorie is amazing and I hope she gets a raise. 10/10

Super friendly and attentive staff. Came for lunch Saturday. I had the latte and seafood tomato soup. It was amazing. I also had the chicken pasta with artichokes. Everything was delicious. Daughter enjoyed her pink lemonade and fettuccine Alfredo. Overall we enjoyed our lunch.

New management. They are nice but not iterative with the customers. The food comes out cold or undercooked. I am so bummed and miss the okd management and staff. I think we will be going to Alex's Kitchen more often. Bummer. Because this was the pizzeria type joint we loved

All terrific and staff is very nice. The food is wonderful and never cold. It's a very nice atmosphere and the staff has a very happy demeanor.

Wow the service here was impeccable! First time here, and our server Sydney provided excellent recommendations. She coursed out our meal perfectly and knew the menu extensively. Highly recommend asking for Sydney!!!! The ambiance was very family style, and felt authentic!

I always have issues ordering to-go. Today I specified on the phone that I'd like the tomato basil soup with seafood. I started eating the soup at home and realized there was no seafood. I called back up and Kristy/Christy told me that I didn't order seafood. This is untrue, and just poor customer service.

Based on the reviews, we stopped in for dinner. We sat at the bar. Service was good but food wasn't. Breadstick was tasteless and hard. The mushroom porkchop was overcooked. The chicken toscano was ok. The sausages were good. The dish was oily and had more onions than peppers. We said no to the garlic bread and took the side spaghetti that came with porkchop home so we don't know if they were good. Can't say there's any ambiance.

We had fried zucchini, seafood soup and manicotti all very good. The service was great. It was a little warm inside I guess due to a full restaurant and 100° outside but still a nice dinner. Loved the breadsticks too!

The food was great! It was my first time trying it so I went with the basic spaghetti and meat sauce and meatball and sausage. Delicious. Nice cozy restaurant atmosphere too

On Friday for lunch we met a friend that work with. We order Manicotti but it was flat like a pancake. That is not want I remember. The price was a little high for the quality of the meal. Salad was extra too.

Food not that good. They serve you garlic bread from the store. No baked bread here. Service ok. Place loud and noisy. Will not go back. Stuffed mushrooms were terrible. Sauce on mushrooms not same sauce on other food. No salad with entree. Very poor food. Can't believe this restaurant in in Sugarland Hwy 6. Went there for my birthday. First time there. So disappointed . Should have went to Carrabba s or Olive Garden. I eat out a lot. Not good place to go waste my money.

I am visiting from chicago and read all the reviews from yelp. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! We ordered: piccata which was pretty good, peppers and sausage was more onions with burnt sauce, pizza was good and we had a shrimp scampi to go which was awfully cooked and garlic was so burnt you can taste it on the pasta.

Just went with the family and everything was delicious Our server Sydney was amazing and attentive!

Not fun to write this. Have had good meals here in the past but the one yesterday was awful. The Bruschetta was slices of soft white bread with melted cheese. No crunch to the bread and the barest amount of tomato. The serving was generous but quantity cannot overcome poor quality. When the entree came, things went from bad to worse. It was supposed to be lasagna. I do not know what it was. Near tasteless combination of pasta and was appeared to be some type of pressed meat. It was just terrible. I have had much better buying Stouffers out of the freezer case. Was kicking myself for not going further down the block to Carrabba's where the lasagna is good quality. The wine and service were fine but the meal was a joke and they should have been embarrassed to service this vile food. I will only return here at the point of a bayonet in my back.

It's a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.

Seated immediately when we walked in which was surprising for a Saturday evening. Well staffed, well managed. Sydney provided excellent service - always seemed to show up when we needed something, but never overbearing. The management team had the place running smoothly. The manager actively work in the dining room, not just lurk in a corner and bark orders like many other restaurants. Food portions were huge and fresh. The only negatives are matters of personal preference and too minor to mention. Excellent overall experience.

I had a great night out at Corelli's. Our waitress Sydney was very attentive and made our experience way more enjoyable.

I went to Corelli's last weekend and I can't stop thinking about how delicious the Snapper Napoli was. Our server Sydney had excellent recommendations and took great care of us. We have to go back!

Two stars for the service. Otherwise, food and ambiance are a 1 star. It was just a disappointing dinner. When is their wine room open? The host says weekdays only, and the server says Fridays and Saturdays only. We were there on a Sunday, so we didn't get to enjoy the wine room. We sat in the main dining room and were subjected to listening to loud radio music with commercial chatter. When we asked about turning it down, a man with jeans and a tie said their satellite antenna broke, so it's either the radio or no music. We vote no music, but they left the radio chatter on, which doesn't exactly make for the best ambiance for an Italian restaurant. Another disappointment, $14 per bottle BYOB corking fee. Wow. That is high. The pork chops were dry and thin. The lasagna is good, but not as good as others. It has like a meat puree. We will not be returning.

I am actually happy to write this review. Clearly, there has been some kind of management/ownership change. NONE of the previous staff (most of which that knew us by name, and usually order) are no longer there. The first time we went after the new regime was dismal. The place was HOT - as if the A/C was out with no notification. Waitstaff clearly did not know the menu or the wine list - we had to explain what a chianti was. The usual off-the-menu Pepper Pasta was unknown to staff. Our usual order of Veg Lasagna was OK, the Cannelloni de Pollo was a disaster (due to the 'crunchy' sauce), and 'special' fish was way over-cooked. Our second experience a month later was not much better, including the heat of the restaurant. We were prepared to say goodbye after being regulars for 15+ years. Our sentimental son insisted we give them one last shot. Happy to report - MUCH better. Not the same, but acceptedly different. Staff was confident and trained. Food came out hot and timely. Recipes were still different, but not the same which is surprising since they have not changed anything on the menu that we noticed. But the food was ABOVE par. Perhaps our son is right - three time's a charm. Still miss the old regime, but we will be back for sure.

Corelli's is my family's go to restaurant for Italian food. The food here is great, the owner is incredibly nice, the restaurant is just not as clean and well kept as I'd like. I have tried almost everything on the menu it feels like and nothing has disappointment me. The cooks are very accommodating when we had a special request for light sauce. If you're in town I highly recommend!

Always love the food here Very clean bathroom Great garlic bread Great fish and chicken and awesome pasta They have the best cannoli it's really wroth getting

Me and my wife had lunch here yesterday and the food was great except that it was a tad to salty. We both had the Sugo Rosa Spaghetti regular menu. The waiter, Angelo, was stupendous. I'm giving it a 5 star rating. We would love to try the Lasagna. Thank You!

We came because my daughter wanted Italian and saw such great reviews. The manager and hostess were great, sitting us down and asking about my sons T-Rex and Amorie the waitress even got our drink orders right away but that's where everything good ended. After we got our drinks we had to wait 20 minutes to place our appetizer order and entrees which we did at the same time and we had to ask for refills every time. Plus we had to ask for the FREE garlic bread even though it's supposed to be given by default. Every time I needed something I would say "excuse me" to Amorie and would feel like I was being ignored. I never seen a waitress help so many tables but proceed to ignore us, she even avoided eye contact which I found strange. When I was time to pay our bills my excuse me was once again not being recognized until my wife had to get very loud when she saw Amorie side eye us when she finally acknowledged us. I still tipped 5% because it wasn't like she did anything we just had to ask all the time and only when she wanted to pay attention that she did respond. Food was good but you cannot undermine great customer service. Don't do a job unless you love what you do. Unfortunately won't be coming back.

Great service on a quiet weekday. Chicken parm hit the spot, didn't take a picture but I'm glad I enjoyed it! Our waiter Jose was very prompt.

I have been coming to this place for about twenty years. In my high school days, I would bring dates here. I've been here with family and friends. I have even brought important clients here for lunch. I think of this place anytime there is a special life event I need to celebrate. I think of this place anytime I'm craving hot Italian Porkchops and delicious pasta. I thought of this place when it was time to propose to my long-time girlfriend. Last night, I asked my Corelli's waitress to help me set up the surprise and without any hesitation, we conspired lol. She brought over the manager, and he became an accomplice immediately. We executed the premeditated scheme with finesse. My lady cried her little eyes out and smiled one of those smiles that I will always remember. All the other guests and Corelli's staff exploded in applause and cheer as I got down on my knee. She said yes, and we kissed. One of our most Unforgettable nights, which she was beginning to believe would never happen :). We will be back soon. I hope to bring my future kids here after a soccer game, for our 1st wedding anniversary, or just a random night we are in the need of a good smile, and a good cry to go with the best pork chops man has ever had. Thank you Corelli's, we love you and will continue to support you! Sincerely, R.D Attorney At Law

If I could give this place a million stars I would LOL We decided to try out this place because we are in the area weekly and I don't have one regret! The hostess are very welcoming and the service was OUTSTANDING! Our server Evelyn was very attentive to our needs. I ordered the Baked Tortellini and it made me feel just like that food critic off of Ratatouille when he got that flashback! I also got a cannoli and it was so good! This Italian cooking is definitely my favorite! Highly recommend and will be coming back! Unfortunately I did not get pictures of my food because it was that good! These pictures are photos of what my family got. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken with shrimp, and the Kid's lasagna.

Awesome!! 10 stars!! Pleasant curb appeal. Walked and and warmly greeted. Saw the sign for daily and happy hour specials. Our waitress was extremely friendly and prompt with her service. Both meals and the garlic bread were awesome! Very cool decor too. I was just thrilled with this place and highly recommend it!!!

The service was disappointing, it took a long time for someone to serve us and the waiters were inattentive. The water tastes old and disgusting, food was bland and not really that great. Will not be coming here again.

I have been going to Corelli's for many years. Unfortunately, the management has been inconsistent and on my room recent visit, it was sub-par. My friends and I met at Corelli's and most of us ordered wine. The sign on the table said happy hour was 4-7 pm, Monday through Friday. One of us specifically asked for the house Cabernet. When we got our bills, none of our wine had been discounted and the Cabernet was the most expensive of all, at $14 a glass! I asked the waitress about it and she said happy hour was only at the bar, even thought the sign on the table and the back of the wine list made no mention of this being a bar only discount. So I asked to speak to the manager. He seemed friendly enough at first. He went on to tell me that the information on the table and back of the menu was incorrect. I told him then maybe they should remove them from the table because the information was very misleading. He told me they left them on the table because they wanted to advertise a drink promotion they had on Mondays that was able at the table. I told him it should still be removed because it's very misleading. I also told him that someone had ordered house Cabernet and it was $14! He told me they didn't have a house Cabernet, which the waitress didn't mention when it was ordered, which no told him. He said well it would be very easy to look at the menu and see what was available. Seriously?? $14 for a glass of wine at Corelli's is outlandish! And why doesn't Corelli's have happy hour at the table? It's not a large restaurant. The manager offered no compensation at all for the misleading sign. It's certainly not my fault they spent a lot of money on the signage and it was wrong (the manager told me this). I doubt anything will change so I will take my business elsewhere. This occurred on December 15, 2023. The time on the receipt was 7:24 pm and my order was 66143.

Best Italian home made food in Sugar Land. Great Pizza and pasta and salads. Their Shrimp Corelli with their breadsticks is the BOMB! Staff always friendly and attentive. Great location. Oh don't get me started on their desserts! All delish!!!My favorite is their Tiramisu.

So much nostalgia coming back here, it's been my family's go to Italian restaurant for over 10 years!! The service was amazing and more like the service you would get at a $$$ place. Very warmly greeted by the hostesses and they accommodated us for patio seating with a larger group. Our server was very attentive and patient with us while we made our selections. Food: Ordered the spinach and artichoke fonduta to start. It's all cheese and honestly pretty heavy but the flavor is soooo good! I also love the crostini's it comes with, good texture and flavor from the bread. For mains we ordered the snapper napoli, vegetarian lasagna, chicken san marcos and veal corelli. Everything was very good, I will say the veal corelli was a little disappointing texture wise (a little chewy) compared to what I remembered from before but maybe it was just an off day. Snapper napoli is crispy and but still flaky and tender on the inside Chicken San Marcos was very tender, my friend even commented "it's very juicy for being chicken breast" and the sauce was amazing. I love how big their portion sizes are and most entrees come with a side of spaghetti. They also provide complimentary breadsticks and garlic bread which I'm not used to anymore so it was very nice to have bread on the house!

So disappointed. Me and my family used to go to corellie's every new year we took a pause when for about two years because of conflicting schedules and returned this January first. The service was really bad and the food was old fashioned and below average. The place because of its age smells really bad and the decor and seating looks to be falling apart. I'm very sad that their standards have dropped so much and hope they can somehow turn it around.

My friends were there for over an hour!!!!! Didn't get the food til after that. Been there so long got the food to go. And was charged full price after waiting that long!!! And on a Wednesday night. Stupid!!!!

One of the worst restaurants I've ever visited!!! The food tasted absolutely disgusting and the service was just terrible! My family and I decided to give this place a try so we came on 03/28/23 and that will be the last time! Not only was the food and service terrible but the vibe of the place was just off and the servers were not welcoming! My mom decided to order coffee with some dessert and this is how her coffee was served...... imma let the picture do the talking! NEVER AGAIN!! Horrible servers and food was bland!

Always amazing food and the staff makes you feel like family. Adam has a wonderful team. Love the chicken trapani!

Very amazing lasagna great service and great people I really enjoyed the atmosphere the food that I order was amazing also I had the chicken Parmesan

I really like this place! I'm not sure why I've overlooked it before but it's good! Tried the lasagna today and enjoyed it. Not too much meat and enough ricotta, topped with mozzarella. More on the sweet side of tomato too. Chicken Parmesan was also delicious here and fills my Italian cravings. Service is fast and attentive. They give the crunchy Parmesan sticks when you sit down and also have buttery garlic bread for free too! Friday nights at 7 are a packed house, but they get people going in and out pretty quickly.

Oh man.. I was excited for some Italian food and found Corelli's on Yelp with some good reviews so thought we'd give it a try. Service was fine, we were seated right away and they refilled our water and bread as requested. They're pretty quick on bringing you your order as well. But that's where the positives end I'm afraid. We really wanted to like it but none of the food was good, or even edible for that matter, we were highly disappointed. I'm not sure if our tastebuds were off cause of that cheesy breadstick they gave us beforehand drenched in Parmesan but everything tasted off after that. The garlic bread tasted funny - and I normally love garlic and fresh hot bread. We ordered the appetizer sampler platter which came with bruschetta, mushrooms caps, Italian sausage, and some grilled veggies. The mushroom caps were ok if you compare it to everything else.. We liked the red sauce drenched over it. The bf liked the Italian sausage - it was unique. But the bruschetta with the pesto tasted weird - I can't pinpoint what it was but we didn't like anything about it. The grilled veggies seem to be out there just to fill up the plate, with two tiny shrimps. Meh.. The best thing on the platter was the red sauce. The bf ordered the lasagna - he literally orders lasagna everywhere and he barely touched this one. If you look at the photo, the lasagna looked like it was premade, refrigerated, cut and reheated in the microwave. The cheese was all coagulated - fresh lasagna just doesn't cut smoothly like this one did. It tasted ok but like how it looked, it didn't taste like fresh ingredients. The only thing fresh was the sauce they spooned over the brick of lasagna. We didn't even take this to go. I love me some spaghetti forever and always. This one was like a cafeteria spaghetti - where they throw things from a can together and call it spaghetti. The noodles were overdone, the sauce tasted funny - again I can't pinpoint exactly what it was but the sauce was too sweet to me, the meat tasted like frozen hamburger meat. I didn't like the flavors at all - I barely touched my dish and ended up just tossing it when I got home. I'm usually pretty fair in judging a place and I always feel bad leaving the lowest review. We gave them a one star for service but we felt like we paid for a meal we didn't even touch cause everything was so bad. It's been a long time since I've felt this way about a restaurant. Maybe it was just an off day?! But we wasted money spent here cause the food was all thrown anyway. Boo!

It's been a few months since my last take-out and today was disappointing. Food portions were dismal compared to before and prices are higher. I got spaghetti suga Rosa, it was $13+ and the pasta barely covered the bottom of the container. It's almost criminal. It's just pasta and I can literally count the strands. And the Vongole used to be chocked filled with clams and now, literally a quarter of the previous amount. I will definitely think twice about ordering again. I don't mind higher prices if you keep the portions as before. Service was great at the front though.

Food was great. Our waiter, Andrew took good care of us. Emmit, the Mgr was very nice and visited with us. Good atmosphere and great service.

YUM!! This is our 'go to' Italian restaurant in Sugar Land. All of the classic pasta, piccata, marsala, and parmigiana dishes and lots more. Home made Italian doesn't get any better than this. Thank you Papa Corelli..

First time visiting, I was excited because this restaurant is fully Italian. When I asked the waitress if they have Italian soda, she gave me a confused look, as she thought I was joking with her or something. With her cold face, she said "no there is no Italian soda, only American soda". I was like "geez", I asked my husband if I offended her because I literally just want to see if they have Italian soda. Apparently, even my husband didn't know what Italian soda is, he thought I was joking too. Anyway, later on the waitress seem to be nicer but overall she doesn't really impressive me with her service. Food wise, I ordered the sampler plate which was decent. The entree comes with side salad and side of spaghetti. Very fulfill meal. Pricy place tho. but if you wanna give it a try. It's sure won't be bad choice.
