Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Didn't expect too much from a country town cafe but was quite pleasant in their offering. On a weekday morning with almost no other patrons, service was a bit slow but the food was actually pretty decent. The coffee was not bad but could've been better, the 'dirty chai' didn't sit well especially. However, overall a good experience.

We arrived in Griffith mid afternoon Saturday and realised that all the highly rated restaurants were booked out and there seemed to be few other options. Luckily this place did have space for 2 outside, which was comfortable enough ( traffic noise OK) but had very little atmosphere. Restaurant was very busy and we could see lots of takeaway pizzas being collected. Service ok - staff didn’t seem overly friendly, maybe because they were busy. Meals only average, unfortunately not made with any care. Gnocchi itself was good, but the cream sauce runny - hadn’t been reduced. Same applied to the fettuccine boscaiola. Rocket salad was very small and dressing unbalanced. Should have had pizza !

This is probably the friendliest restaurant I have ever been in - even the customers were friendly; good food and coffee does that to people. It was obviously busy, but all the wait staff found time to give customers a smile and a greet, and even stop for a chat as they went by. I ordered the stuffed pasta shells which were delicious and the pIzzas looked fantastic and left a waft of herbs rather than fats as they went by.

For the quantity and quality of food for the price, it was well over priced. The service was ok but you noticed that the staff could tell there was something wrong and stayed away from our table until we called one over to state that the pizza was burnt and should not have been brought to our table to then be re done for it to be under done. Meals came out separately and it was only pasta and pizza for 2 !! I would not recommend - overpriced & small portions

We visited today after moving over 15 mths ago. The service was really poor with our orders being incorrect a number of times. Poached eggs were hard, orders for toast and eggs with no toast, an eggs Benedict sent back due to drowning in the sauce.

Went for coffee and cake. My unusual order of half froth usually can’t be met by most cafes. Not here.. a glorious mug of the best coffee topped with half a mug of delicious froth. Paired with an enormous slice of lemon meringue pie created an afternoon tea delight. Friendly staff and outdoor dining added to the experience. Thanks so much

Have been to Griffith over the past 20 years many times to visit family . I always enjoy getting my Italian fix in Banna Avenue and surrounding areas . This time we went to El Corso , sadly the food was substandard compared to other times we have visited . Staff as always great , next time it’s Belvederes .

What we ate and paid for tonight was very terrible. Quality of the food was a big concern. My friend ordered a bbq chicken mushroom pizza hardly any chicken on it. Plus was like eating cardboard. we also were overcharged for a very disappointing meal. I doubt we will ever return. This restaurant use to make lovely pizzas.

Hi LukepP3880HQ, very disappointing to read your review. We wish we were given the opportunity on the night to fix this for you, rather then read it on here days later. sounds like your experience wasnt what one would expect when coming to us, so for that im sorry. Also not to sure how you were overcharged or that you didnt call for this to be rectified? either way, we are sorry that this has happened.

Dropped in without a reservation on a Friday night. We were warmly and promptly greeted and seated. Fairly basic menu, but hey what does that matter when they do it well. My wife’s pizza was somewhat overcooked but still tasty. My penne diavola was superb. I had one of the best cafe macchiato’s I have ever tasted. The service was excellent despite the place being packed. We both finished the night with a takeaway gelato. Very impressed.

Nice place with friendly staff and massive brekky servings. We had a group of 9 adults and a toddler and we all left almost rolling. We were all served together which was lovely and the food was amazing. My toddler saw his waffles with nutella and bananas and his face lit up. B and e rolls were huge. Suggest sharing if you don't have a big appetite. Thickshake and iced coffee were very tasty. They let us split our bill too which we were very thankful for.

We were greated and seated straightaway even though we did not have a reservation. Staff were lovely. The pizza was phenomenal. My son and I couldn't finish it. Great wine. The atomsphere was bustling, full of people which is a great sign that it does pretty well as serving out great food. Great hospitality. Must try if you are ever in town!

It’s been a while but loved being back. We each had garlic prawns which were delicious, great flavour & just the right amount of chilli complimented w yummy toasted bread. The standing balls w Gorgonzola sauce were huge & also delicious. Finished w chocolate gelato which was smooth creamy & a perfect way to finish. Staff were attentive & prompt. Thank you see you again soon

We were lucky to get a table here on this night. And happy we were too. The service was quick, proficient and friendly. The entre' we chose was for two people and was a big portion and really lovely. We both had Pasta mains and these too were really tasty and good sized portions. The wine list is mostly very local and ok. Price is right too.

Revisited Il Corso after a few years and still terrific Italian. If not a big eater be warned meals are huge but very tasty. Spaghetti Marinara was good but the Gnocci probably took the vote. Washed down with a Yenda pale ale. A service mistake was generously dealt with. A very enjoyable meal.

The food is excellent and the service is good HOWEVER if you need to use the toilet they provide only 2 keys access to toilets upstairs in the building. If the keys are in use you cannot gain access to the toilets (male or female) until someone comes out. You might stand outside waiting while young girls are in there doing selfies or guys are giving birth to a brown whale and watching porn but it is frustrating and painful. I waited 10mins and no one came out to let me in. My meal went cold waiting to access the toilets without success then I went across the road to public toilets which were locked. Absolute F’ng bad form in my opinion!!!

Hi Jonr489, Thank you for leaving your feedback. Unfortunately the toilets are run by the building management and only 2 keys have been given to us. We do understand your frustration and we contacted the management team in regards to the toilets. Im happy to inform that because of your feedback they have agreed to keep the toilets unlocked for ease of use to our patrons. We look forward to having you dine with us again knowing that this issue has been resolved. Thank you!
