Honored to be named Yankee Magazine’s Editor’s Choice for Italian Restaurant in New Hampshire.

To be recognized for what we’ve built here along the Exeter River — the food, the wine, the atmosphere, and the experience our team pours into every night — means more than we can put into words.

From handmade pastas and regional Italian dishes to the glow of the dining room overlooking the water… Cornicello has always been about creating something special for this community, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way. 🇮🇹✨

Thank you to Yankee Magazine for the feature, and thank you to our guests, staff, family, and community for continuing to make this dream possible.

There are nights you plan… and then there are nights that remind you why you do any of this at all.

Oscar’s Night was one of those.

A room full of people came together—not just to dine, but to stand behind someone in the middle of the hardest chapter of his life. The love, the generosity, the quiet moments, the overwhelming support… it was something you could feel in every corner of the restaurant.

Because this was never just about a number.
It was about showing up.
It was about reminding Oscar he is not alone.
It was about a community choosing care, compassion, and connection.

We are so proud of you, Oscar. Your strength is felt by all of us—and this night was just a small reflection of how many people are in your corner.

This is what community looks like. ❤️

🎟 Raffle entries will be available for purchase in-house.
Swipe to see everything that’s been generously donated.

If you’re joining us for dinner, your presence makes an even greater impact:
✨ 25% of the evening’s net sales will be donated directly to Oscar and his family
🍝 Ask for Rigatoni per Oscar — giving back all month long

Reservations are required for dinner service:
