Via del Corso is an italian restaurant in Berkeley, California. It is listed at 1788 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709, which places it among the local businesses of Berkeley that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 5–9 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (510) 704-8004. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is viadelcorso.net, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
