About Bar Cortona

Bar Cortona pulls off an effortless neighborhood double-act, dishing out morning espresso before turning down the lights for dinner. Regulars treat the counter like an extension of home—grabbing an almond croissant to read alongside the rustic book corner, or pulling up a chair for morning flat whites pulled with Allpress beans. Come Wednesday through Saturday evening, the cafe rhythm yields to a full dinner service turning out tender steaks and pasta without any suburban fuss.

  • Wednesday to Saturday Dinner: Shifts smoothly from morning cafe fare to full evening service Wednesday through Saturday, serving steak and pasta dishes.
  • In-Cafe Reading Corner: Shelves stocked with reading material lend a calm, unhurried, dog-friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
