About
Set in a historic Costa Rican house, this fifteen-year pizzeria pulls a rare double act: top-notch pizza (the Prosciutto & Arugula is a go-to) alongside a deep Turkish and Mediterranean menu, Iskender-style kebab, manti, dolma, karides guvec, that regulars rave about. Owner Emir works the room warmly. Add margaritas and sangria, and it's a full evening out.

The Corner is the perfect culmination of good service, classic homely vibes, and great food. Located in a beautiful, historic Costa Rican house, the ambience is chill and the decor rustic. The service is good, waiters attentive and polite, and the owner Emir is very friendly and takes the time to chat with customers and make sure they feel right at home. The food is spectacular, consisting of a unique blend of mostly Mediterranean and Turkish cuisines. Renowned as a local pizzeria of 15 years, the pizza is top-notch. Fresh ingredients, lots of cheese and tomato sauce, and flavorful. The Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza is my personal go-to. On this visit, we ordered the Karides Guvec, a Turkish dish, shrimp baked in tomato sauce with lots of cheese - scrumptious! Next, we ordered the Swordfish Skewers - an Aegean style marine-shish-kebab dish - delicious. We also ordered the beef Kebab with tomato sauce and yogurt - a clear revival of the classic Turkish Iskender Kebap - absolutely mind-blowing. Dolma - grape vine leaves wrapped & rolled around a cozy mixture of savory ground beef & rice, served with yogurt. A Turkish cuisine classic. Manti - ravioli-style dumplings, originating from Turkey, stuffed with ground beef, topped with yogurt and savory tomato sauce. A total culinary gem. The Lamb dish is truly out of this world! Tremendously tasty, tender and absolutely recommended. ‘La Bola’…baked pizza dough in the form of a ball, stuffed with soft, delicious beef and molten cheese. A delight for every palate. The Corner Burger is now a classic for us…homemade bread, mouthwatering beef patty grilled to perfection. For dessert, we ordered the Kabak Tatlisi, a beloved Turkish dessert made of glazed pumpkin with syrup. Not to mention, it’s a good spot for Margaritas! Whether you feel like having a classic cocktail or cold beer in a picturesque spot, an authentic pizza to fill your belly, or to give your tastebuds a party with all the unmatched Turkish flavors - The Corner is the place to be. Five stars! Recommended!
Excellent Fresh Food! Definitely got to eat here if you’re looking for a place to eat.
The Corner is a beautiful restaurant conveniently located across the street from the movie theater, Sala Garbo. I had the Pasta Carbonara and my friend had a delicious pizza. The atmosphere is intimate and charming; the service was great, and the food was outstanding! I would highly recommend this restaurant!
