Il Corsaro Italian Pasta Bar

DO NOT PURCHASE TAKE OUT FROM THIS RESTAURANT. This pasta bar can't even cook spaghetti al dente. I purchased a take out spaghetti bolognese, and the spaghetti was overcooked to mush. When I called to complain the Il Corsaro Pasta Bar was not accommodating at all. After complaining about my dish being completely overcooked I was told over the phone that I must have let the pasta sit there before picking it up. Their accusation couldn't have been the case since I was told it would be ready in 30minutes, promptly arrived at the designated time, and then took it on a 4minutes drive back home since I live about 4blocks away. If anything waiting for service to pay for the food took longer. They d...

We were in Maple Ridge for the day and had checked out this restaurant on line and the reviews seemed good overall. So we decided to try it. What a mistake! I ordered the gluten free pasta and white clam sauce with extra shrimp. The gluten free pasta is not pasta. It is gnocchi and it had the texture of paste. The clams and shrimp were very tiny mixed in with the white sauce. If you are going to list gluten free pasta on the menu, then serve gluten free pasta.

Another fabulous night at Il Corsaro. Four of us with four different meals...all uniquely flavored and all excellent. Best Caesar salad ever and I don 't even like salads LOL. My meal was the beef and gorgonzola manicotti and it is addictive, so full of evenly balanced flavor. Desserts are too die for, avocado and homemade tiramisu are legendary. Great ambience, great team, great evening again. Maple Ridge is very lucky that Il Corsaro retired in our little town after a busy, long and very successful run in the heart of Little Italy in East Van on the Drive.

Very romantic destination. The food is absolutely amazing, and you even get to meet the Head Chef/Owner. He actually comes and takes your order. I mean, c'mon, who else is better than the guy who preps everything, knows everything about each of the 25 sauces, and then actually prepares the Meals! Had wanted to go there for ages!!! Finally, I made the reservation, and the rest is history.

Very nice and fancy Italian, and accordingly priced. The food was very good and absolutely authentic (we just before spent two weeks in Italy), service and atmosphere are great too.One of us had bolognese sauce meat sauce, and was not happy with it mainly being tomato sauce and little meat that was not as expected. However all other meals were top of the line.
