Corsica Wine Bar

French & Italian small plates inspired by the island of Corsica. Coastal. Easy. Alive.

My fiancé and I came for an early Valentine’s Day date and it was fantastic. Our server Riley was lovely, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made great recommendations without being pushy and clearly enjoys where she works. The ambiance is casual chic which we love. Dim lighting and a great playlist. The food was excellent, perfectly seasoned (for us, we love salt). We had an Apéro platter and 5 small plates to share which was plenty for us. The presentation of each dish was immaculate and just made you want to dig in immediately. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Our first trip to Corsica was a pleasant surprise. We had high hopes after recently dining at Barcelona nearby, and found this restaurant to be even better. The atmosphere is soothing and uniquely decorated. All drinks had a good balance of liquor and mixers/garnishes. Some dishes on the menu didn’t necessarily fit the Mediterranean theme, however there is a broad selection of small plates, and many of them do fit the cuisine in one way or another. Our least favorite dish of the 6 small plates we tried was the meatballs, however we’d happily order again, the flavors just didn’t stand out quite as much as the other options we tried (but they were still much better than many other restaurants serve). The staff was also incredible from our waiters to the managers. We enjoyed interacting with them all and hope to see them in future visits.

Corsica Wine Bar in Reston is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like VIPs. Lauren, the General Manager, is phenomenal — incredibly attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests have the best experience possible. She sets the tone for a flawless evening.

Our server, Jillian, was beyond amazing. Her knowledge of wine is impressive, and her recommendations were spot-on. She didn’t just serve us — she became our friend for the night, making the experience personal, fun, and unforgettable.

The food here is spectacular. We were blown away by the carrot dish (so flavorful and beautifully presented), the meatballs (perfectly seasoned), and the lamb dolmas (absolutely divine). Every bite paired wonderfully with their thoughtfully curated wine selection — which, by the way, is top-notch. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just someone who appreciates quality, Corsica has something to impress every palate.

Highly recommend this spot for a special night out or just a memorable dinner. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely amazing! Came here for a late-night birthday celebration after work and was greeted by the wonderful bartender Antonio, who welcomed us with menus and the wine list. The cocktail program is jaw-dropping, each creation is both captivating and genius. The wine selection by the glass is extensive, offering something for everyone, and I especially loved the option of 3 oz pours to explore more pairings with each dish.

Our server was outstanding, attentive, detail-oriented, and incredibly thoughtful in guiding me through gluten-free options since I have celiac disease. I felt completely comfortable, and there was still a plethora of dishes I could enjoy.

Highlights included the tuna carpaccio with its divine Calabrian citrus sauce, an addictive mix of mushrooms (the maitake was unforgettable), mussels in a light lobster-saffron broth, and the Chicken Genovese, which was crispy, moist, and perfectly complemented by herbaceous sauce and fingerling potatoes. Dessert was the perfect finale: my chocolate hazelnut ganache and my partner’s affogato were both excellent.

The cocktails elevated the night further. My Pomme au Poivre tasted like early autumn in a glass. The entire staff, from Antonio to manager Emily, to our server and the food runners, went above and beyond to ensure every gluten-free dish was safe while my partner enjoyed the full menu.

The ambiance was the final touch. It reminded me so much of southern France, the place I call home, which made the evening feel all the more special. This restaurant is truly a treasure, and I cannot wait to return, especially to explore more of their aperitifs and digestifs.

We really wanted to love Corsica Wine Bar, especially since we’re frequent visitors to Barcelona and expected a similar level of quality.

Unfortunately, the food was so uninventive that it was confusing if this was supposed to be Italian or French. Every dish came out incredibly fast but had a heavy sauce underneath that made the flavors taste strange — the sauce under the steak even tasted like fish, which completely threw off the dish.

To make things worse, the steak dish we ordered came out tasting like Salisbury steak.

The only bright spot was the pasta, which was excellent and easily the star of the evening. The simple bolognese was delightful.

Charlie our server was super sweet but unfortunately not all there. How are you going to ask if we’re celebrating tonight but then forget to add the candle to the cake…..

It’s a nice space and has potential, but unless they seriously fix the food and consistency, it’s hard to imagine this place lasting long. I wonder if their Denver location has these troubles.

I will say the red head manager did right by us and removed the horrific mussels dish.

Came here for a date night and ate dinner on the patio. I loved the concept, it has a relaxed and rustic vibe to it. The menu had a variety of small plates of Mediterranean food to share.

We tried different dishes and our favorite one was the shrimp. It was perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and our server was very informative about each dish. Also, the pacing of the plates made it easy to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed.

Overall atmosphere felt both lively and intimate, perfect for a date night!

Absolutely incredible. The food is great, everything was delectable. My server Charlie was great, and there was another server called Lauren that was also great and very kind. She recommended I mix the pork Milanese and the Caesar salad together and that was so so so good. The sommelier, Olivia, was incredible. So knowledgeable and so friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful. So many different types of seating, perfect for anyone and any occasion. They let me sample a few of the wines which I really appreciated. I highly recommend for anyone in the DMV area. I hope they open one in Raleigh.

Note : they do half off on bottles on Mondays

Corsica just opened in Reston Town Center and it’s already the best spot here. The food was incredible from the first bite. Every dish was on point, nothing missed. I actually stopped in the middle of my meal to start writing this because it was that good.

The off-menu espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. No contest.

Jillian took care of us and she was fantastic—cheerful, welcoming, and super attentive without hovering. And the manager, Madiha (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong), was equally great. She went above and beyond and even annotated a full vegetarian menu for us. That level of attention is rare.

I’m already planning my next visit. This place is a standout and an easy five stars.

Great, new casual French/European inspired cuisine. They have half servings of wine which is nice. The shrimp, mushroom, and cacio e pepe small plates were all very flavorful and delicious. The almond cake with the frosting was just ok. The frosting was a bit too sticky.

We really wanted to love Corsica Wine Bar, especially since we’re frequent visitors to Barcelona and expected a similar level of quality. Unfortunately, the food was so salty that it was impossible to eat. Every dish had a heavy sauce underneath that made the flavors taste strange — the sauce under the steak even tasted like fish, which completely threw off the dish. To make things worse, the steak we ordered medium-well came out completely undercooked and had to be sent back.

For the first time ever, we had leftovers that we didn’t even want to take home — that says a lot.

The only bright spot was the wine, which was excellent and easily the star of the evening. The selection and quality were both impressive.

It’s a nice space and has potential, but unless they seriously fix the food and consistency, it’s hard to imagine this place lasting long.
