Kornerstone Bistro

First time my husband and I went. We get pizza on fridays and really wanted to try this place out. Sure it was busy but that's friday for you. Otherwise, the drinks were fantastic. The pizza was also amazing. The cheese was delicious and the toppings were 👌. We definitely want to try the pasta next time.

Friends and I had lunch here today before going to an art class in Hampstead. I ordered the cobb salad, which was very good, although the bacon was way overcooked. Some of the pieces were too chewy. The avocado was perfectly ripe; and the gorgonzola cheese was yummy. Same with the blue cheese dressing. Two other salads were ordered, and a Caesar chicken salad wrap. All very good. Nice service by our young waitress. While I made reservations in advance, it was not needed. It wasn't crowded at all. In nice weather, sitting outside is a good option. Nice décor inside with huge canvas artwork - most were Italy scenery.

So glad that we stopped here for dinner on the way home from Charleston!! We could smell the wood-fired oven from outside and knew that we were in the right place. As you walk in, you see the beautiful oven with the wood stacked below it in a little cubby. The service was quick and very helpful, because I was wavering between the K-salad and the penne primavera, and the server suggested the pasta with blackened shrimp. I went with that suggestion minus the shrimp and I wasn’t disappointed! I loved the artichokes, pine nuts, and zucchini that were in the penne with the most delicious pesto sauce! We ordered plain spaghetti with butter for my daughter and she ate the whole dish! She was still hungry, so we ordered her a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl and she ate all of that, too. My boyfriend ordered himself a 10” pepperoni pizza and he devoured it with glee, it was so good! I went to take a close up picture of the oven and ran into the owner, who was super nice and came over to ask us what we thought about our dinner. We had a nice conversation before we paid the very reasonable bill. We will definitely return here the next time we’re traveling through the area!

I was told of this restaurant by a buddy of mine. It was really cold but that's no biggie. The pesto for the bread was kinda weird. Add a little salt and it wasn't bad. The chicken parm was tasty. The sauce was a little thin for me but had a good taste. Caesar salad was good. Fried chips were good but when we added some rance it was even better. Doubt I come back because there are better Italian spots around but always worth a try!

Great food coming out of their wood fired oven. Beautiful place, nice staff. Our server Sheena was very knowledgeable and efficient. My wife had the calamari and I had baked oysters. Thursdays they’re $1.50 apiece. Great tasting appetizers. My wife ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. I ordered the lasagna. I got some bread and homemade pesto to accompany my lasagna. Good choice! I could see the rest of the staff preparing for the after work crowd. I bet it rocks! We will eat here again, and suggest you give them a shot. I doubt they will disappoint you!
