New Italian restaurant Corto is getting ready to open to the public with a soft opening by reservation only today (5/25) and tomorrow (5/26).

Corto, 507 Palisade Ave, is being opened by a group of partners including Marc Magliozzi of Hoboken's beloved Dozzino. Known as Corto Cucina Povera (poor kitchen), the goal is to serve simple, rustic Italian fare that focuses on fresh ingredients and homestyle recipes. With an open kitchen where you can watch the action as you're waiting, the idea is really to make you feel like you're in an Italian home with the food to match. It's also BYO, helping keep your dinner budget-friendly.

If you want to be part of their soft opening before they permanently open, reach out for a reservation through Instagram, available both tonight and tomorrow. Stay tuned for more information on their permanent hours and Grand Opening.
