Just amazing. The food was so good! We got a large Rocky Balboa sandwich and a large Meatball sandwich from the restaurant. Both were stellar. I especially liked the Rocky especially with the au jus sauce to dip it in. The bread on both sandwiches was hot with a slight crisp, just absolutely perfect. From the deli I got a cannoli and a cookie and they were both phenomenal and delicious. I highly recommend this place and will return for the pizza next time.

Had an amazing experience, the place gets super busy but they have a ton indoor/outdoor seating. They also have a little shop with their cheeses/meats next door. The Cortina's sub is PHENOMENAL, the meatball sub & salami are so amazing too. Overall, great experience.

Been about 10 years now, going to Cortina's. Its my favorite sandwich shop in all of California, and every time I'm in or near OC, I try to get a sandwich from here. I went with a Large Fireball this past weekend, and it was FANTASTIC! The homemade bread, the fresh produce, the cold cuts and cheese. I have never had a bad sandwich from here, and they are ALWAYS consistent with their product. Best sandwich in CA, IMO.

First time customer, phone order to go. They told me it would be an hour but when we arrived, they put the ticket in after we paid. I Ordered a 14" "medium" pizza with 3 toppings. Most 14" pizzas are considered X-tra large. They allowed us to choose 3 different toppings on each half of the Pizza. One side had olives, mushrooms and onions; the other side had pepperoni, ham and jalapenos. It had a thin crust (a little hard on the bottom) and light sauce. The flavors were all really good and fresh. I personally like a little thicker crust with more sauce. I will request that next time. I also ordered a traditional cannoli. Overall really good food! The Italian market had a large selection. I will be back for those Italian cookies!!!

I'm sure I have written a review for this place before and have given it 5 stars. This time it is dropping down a notch. Being that it was Friday (last Friday), I decided to stop at Cortina's. It is my favorite place to get a pizza or an Italian sanwhich. I placed an order inside the restaurant to go. The girl taking the orders was efficient, but not very friendly. She handled the order in a perfunctory manner. No smile, no positive attitude and she acted like she was doing me and everyone else a favor. I saw her attend to others in pretty much the same way. When my name was called to pick up the order, I went to the window and I said thank you. The gentleman said, "yeah, have a nice day". It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it. He said it like he didn't even care. The whole place just had a different vibe. Don't get me wrong, the sandwhiches that I ordered were excellent. Its just that the place stunk of "baditude". Today is Friday! I will be getting my pizza from somewhere else today. I may go back another time and try it again. For now, I'll go somewhere else. Sorry, but I know Cortina's can do better.

Wrapping up the year with my last review! I've been coming here for a while now, and it's my go-to Italian market. On one side, you've got the market with an amazing selection of pastas, meats, sauces, and everything in between. They also offer pre-made meals in the fridge, and we always end up grabbing the lasagna--it's fantastic! The desserts are also a must-try, especially the eclairs. On the restaurant side, the chicken Alfredo fettuccine is a favorite, and you can't go wrong with the combo pizza. I'll definitely be back--this place never disappoints!

This is worth a trip if you are looking for the sites and smells of Italian markets you once knew! There are not many on OC! It has a good selection of products and a great deli. It does have a bakery section but I am mixed on this part. Cookies this year were amazing but pastries? Yukk. Pizza next door is very good. Lots of fun Italian food and wine.

The smell of spices and seasonings hits you when you open the door, it's the best! It's a fast-casual restaurant, you order at the register, given a number and take a seat and they will bring your food to you. There is limited seating inside and outside, food comes out hot and fresh. Everything was amazing, I enjoyed every bite of our food! We also tried the unique sodas they have at the soda machine and they tasted great! After our dinner we went to the market next door it was so cute and the desserts caught my attention! We had to get a pistachio cannoli and it was amazing had a nice crunch! We will be back!!

Cortina's Italian Market is a true Italian treasure! The margarita and pepperoni pizza was absolutely amazing the crust was perfectly crispy, and the flavors were so authentic, it felt like a slice of Italy. I also tried their Vass products from Italy, and they were fantastic high Quality, rich, and delicious. The highlight of my visit was the cannoli; it was hands down the best I've ever had, with a creamy filling and perfectly balanced sweetness. Plus, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're craving authentic Italian flavors and great service, this place is a must visit!
