Reviews for Kornerstone Bistro in Wilmington, NC
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 littlecubby. The service was quick and very helpful, because I was wavering between the K-salad and the penne primavera, and theserver suggested the pasta with blackened shrimp. I went with that suggestion minus the shrimp and I wasn’t disappointed! Iloved the artichokes, pine nuts, and zucchini that were in the penne with the most delicious pesto sauce! We ordered plainspaghetti with butter for my daughter and she ate the whole dish! She was still hungry, so we ordered her a simple scoop ofvanilla ice cream in a bowl and she ate all of that, too. My boyfriend ordered himself a 10” pepperoni pizza and he devouredit 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 cameover to ask us what we thought about our dinner. We had a nice conversation before we paid the very reasonable bill. We willdefinitely return here the next time we’re traveling through the area! Read more
We ate here this afternoon and it was so good! We had visited a year ago and thought it was good, but nothing special (that’s... why it was a year between visits). But this time was much better. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. I want to thankMaddison, our server. She treated us with such care and she was extremely engaging. They’re very fortunate to have her there. We’ll be back!

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 thereare better Italian spots around but always worth a try! Read more
So delicious! Went here the first time in person back in December and have been back many times since. My favorite dish is the... Shrimp Fra Diavolo. So good! Read more
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 wifeordered 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, andsuggest you give them a shot. I doubt they will disappoint you! Read more
Great Greek Salad! The salmon was outstanding and the staff, all of them were very attentive and seemed to truly be concerned... that eveything was perfect. The owner has a real winner here! Read more

The food was incredible I had the Kstone salad ???? and we had the mussels and broiled point oysters. Greatjob you guys. We live across the street and will be back! We went back again for takeout and had Emily take care of us. Suchwas sweet girl. We had the Greek Salad and Burrata Bruschetta. Delicious! The restaurant is so clean and organized. Read more
This place's claim to fame is nutmeg in Italian dishes. It is an interesting pairing. I had the lasagna and it was very good. We... were with a large party. Server was friendly and prompt. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The mussel cream bread dip thing was good,though I only had one bite. Read more
