Who knew something like this was in Morris?

You know it’s good food when you will go out of your way to get it….and Corleone’s is exactly that restaurant.

Dine in, or take out – the taste is sublime, and the price is unbelievably affordable!
To those not ‘in the know,’ it may appear to be just another Italian restaurant. But don’t be fooled by its low-key exterior and ‘step up to the counter’ ordering style. Once you try Corleone’s – you will become a loyal fan.

Their differentiating factor is the homemade bread, otherwise known as “a loaf.” All sandwiches begin with this treat to the palate, and all entrees come with a sizeable chunk. One of my favorites is entitled cheese please – and it is addicting in its deliciousness. The key is in its simplicity. It consists of a ½ loaf grilled with mozzarella cheese (or American, should you prefer). Sound Plain-Jane to you? Trust me, it isn’t. Your taste buds will think they have gone to heaven.

My brother lives over 100 miles away nowadays, and on those rare occasions when he returns to the area, a trip to Corleone’s is essential. For him it’s the spaghetti. He’s tried other items on the menu, but always comes back to his fave. Do your taste buds a favor, and try Corleone’s for yourself. You won’t be sorry.
