Cornelia's Restaurant has been a long standing staple for the Boystown crowd. Cornelia's, located at the corner of Halsted and Cornelia is just like coming home. The exterior of Cornelia's almost makes you feel like you're entering someone's home. Stepping inside only ups that comfort level with it's somewhat rustic walls and it's low lit ambiance. During the warm months, you can pull up a chair and watch the world go by on their outdoor patio area. The food is equally as appealing. Cornelia's serves everything from pasta to meat and all of it is done with fusion flair to give your taste buds a happy little buzz-and their blackened, grilled calamari appetizer is outstanding. They also infuse their own vodkas so whether your ordering a Bloody Mary or a trendy-martini, you'll get it with a step away from the original; their small wine list has many excellent selections and you'll never be disappointed in their desserts. From floor to ceiling, the warm atmosphere invites conversation and of course great food. If you haven't tried Cornelia's Restaurant, it's time you did.
