Cortino's

If you are near Weslaco you really need to stop by Cortino's.
Food is all freshly made. In two nights we ate there we always found a few gems.
Patricia goes above and beyond with her service. She is on point to refill wine glasses and serves the pizza slices too.
It is family run and so friendly.
What I really liked is that the customers all talked together so nice.
Must tries are the tiramissu, homemade blue cheese dressing.
Can't say enough good things Bout this place.

Started out at the other Italian restaurant but they were short handed in the cook dept. Someone waiting said this place was good so 2 couples left to make the 8:30 close time. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiano with angle hair spaghetti and garlic butter. My husband ordered the lasagna with Italian sausage. Both came with choice of a tossed salad, Ceasars salad, or soup, and came with fresh bread. Everything is amazing. No room for dessert but it looks amazing. And some one just bought our dinner. Wow!

Excellent Italian food served from the original family-owned building by owner's family. Forgot to take pictures when the food was delivered because we werre so hungry and ready to dive in! They were busy but seemed to be able to keep up with the customers. We had grilled chicken fettuccine that was so good and the leftovers were even better the next day! Also ordered the Italian feast which had chicken parmigiana, lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo. The portions were generous, although a little pricey, but had to order a dessert since we'd seen so many reviews on it. Had the Italian cream cake that had the most delicious raspberry filling and the piece was huge - plenty for the two of is to share. Did not I t affect our opinion of the food but it was a little weird to see an older woman parked at a table by thw kitchen who sat there looking at her phone, taking to-go orders and 'managing" staff from that position. There was also another table seemingly set aside for preparing tableware for future customers. Food and service is excellent but those two tables seemed to create a lesser ambiance.

Wow, excellent food with great service and I loved the environment. The combination plate was great with meat sauce is what we ordered and it's plenty to share. I had both desserts banana nut cream cake and raspberry filled cake was amazingly delicious. Note: the raspberry has coconut. Will go back next time Im visiting the area to try other menu options. I ate the dinner so no photos to add sorry. Lol

Stopped for lunch at Cortino's Italian Restaurant for my very first time. Excellent wait staff, very friendly, attentive and courteous. Business is practicing social distancing, service was quick, prices are reasonable. Ordered Shrimp Scampi which was served with garlic bread and a salad. Everything was delicious and will certainly be returning for more. I also had desert which was outstanding...I'll let you guess what it was...
