I almost didn't come here because I saw a review saying the food was bland. I'm so glad I came anywags, I got Chicken Parmesan with Pink Vodka sauce and Linguine, it was AMAZING! The portions were massive and I got about two whole breasts worth of chicken and the sauce was so so yummy, I had about 2/3 of my meal as leftovers. I'm definitely coming back here!

Kudos to the Chef! The food here is outstanding!!!! I’ve been a few times and always try something different. Never been disappointed! If I lived closer I would eat here every week! I’m about 30 minutes away.

It was our 5yr anniversary and were looking for a new spot to try out. I have driven by the Corner Bistro when I go to killingly ct, always wondered when they open and if the food was delicious. I was looking at Google reviews and photos and figured lets do it. I'm definitely glad we made the choice, the food was delicious and good portions so we have leftovers. The bread they gave out was super fresh with oil. The wife got the breaded chicken Parm and I got fettuccine with grilled chicken, mushrooms and asparagus. Our sides came with soup which looked good but I got the ceaser, it was extra but it was delicious. If you are in the area check this spot out. I'm going back. Oh one last thing, I never had a waitress ask if I had any allergies to any food coming out so it was a plus.

Had an amazing dinner. The owner and all the staff were warm and friendly. The Veal Marsala was awesome. The Chicken Eggplant Parmesan was wife's choice, and it was literally hanging off the plate. I will recommend this to anyone.

Although I have not eaten here in quite some time, I did stop for a couple of holiday cocktails and the servers were absolutely pleasant and courteous. I will be returning for an Italian meal soon and will review then..

The Corner Bistro has been open since the mid80s but still maintains a very modern and pleasant neighborhood ambiance. We went on a busy Friday night. Outside, there was a roaring fire and seating. After a bit of a wait, we were seats in a beautifully decorated dining room. Food was fantastic, though sides were a bit small. Staff, though super busy, didn't act rushed and didn't try to convey a "hurry up" attitude to us - this is good! My apricot salmon and scallops were terrific. They have many gluten free items, but sadly, no gluten free deserts!
