Trendy Yet Comfortable: Cornerstone Italian Opens in the CBD

Trendy yet comfortable, the new Cornerstone specializes in Italian “feel-good food,” a designation that includes thin-crust pizzas, homemade pasta, and a variety of entrées, from codfish and salmon to lamb chops and grilled spring chicken.

Located in the CBD near luxury residence Central, the restaurant offers family-friendly service and reasonably priced set meals – office professionals can enjoy two- or three-course set lunches (RMB 58-68), which are updated weekly. Cornerstone also has an impressive selection of traditional cocktails and reasonably priced New World wines. Fans of the food will also be happy to hear that owner Damon and his crew hope to offer weekend brunches soon.
