It starts right here. 🌿

For Chef Josh and our team, great food begins long before it reaches the kitchen. It starts with knowing where our ingredients come from, supporting the farmers and producers in our community, and choosing what’s fresh, seasonal, and grown close to home.

From the farmers market to our kitchen, and ultimately to your plate, local sourcing is a part of what we do and who we are.

Fresh from our community to your table. 🤌🇮🇹

🥂 Here’s to another championship.

What began as two ideas shared by members of our team became something much bigger than we ever imagined.

🏆 2026 Great Cocktail Challenge Champion: Il Cornicello
🏆 2026 Great Mocktail Challenge Champion: Il Compagno

To everyone who visited, ordered a drink, cast a vote, shared a post, brought a friend, or simply believed in what we were creating—thank you. Your support turned these stories into something unforgettable.

A special thank you to Sophia, our Front of House Manager & Bartender, for introducing Il Cornicello and helping bring its story to life.

And thank you to Elle for sharing the inspiration behind Il Compagno. We’re so grateful she trusted us to bring her idea to life, and even more grateful to see it become this year’s Mocktail Champion.

To our incredible team, and to every guest who continues to choose Cornicello, this celebration belongs to all of you.

Here’s to good fortune. 🍊
Here’s to shared traditions. 🥂
And here’s to the stories we’ll continue to create together.

With gratitude,
The Cornicello Family

TO OUR CUSTOMERS… 🥂

When we created Il Cornicello and Il Compagno, we hoped they’d do more than simply become two drinks on our menu.

We hoped they’d spark conversations, bring people together, and become part of your celebrations.

You did exactly that.

Watching this community gather around the table, raise a glass, and make these drinks part of your celebrations has been the greatest reward of this journey. Every smile, every toast, every vote, and every photo has reminded us why we love what we do.

You’ve made this story your own.

There’s still time to be part of it.

Join us Thursday through Saturday to experience Il Cornicello or Il Compagno, then cast your vote in the Exeter Great Cocktail & Mocktail Challenge.

🥂 Here’s to good fortune.
🥂 Here’s to you.

We’ll be serving our featured competition drinks through Saturday. Voting remains open through Sunday, July 26, and the winners will be announced Monday, July 27.

Big things are happening downstairs. ✨

We’re excited to introduce our new small plates, served exclusively in SottoCello W**e Cellar & Provisions.

Thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the season, each dish showcases fresh ingredients, bold Italian flavors, and is designed for sharing—from creamy burrata and housemade pasta to vibrant garden vegetables and rich wild mushrooms. Whether you’re joining us for a bite before dinner or settling in for the evening, there’s something new to discover.

This Wednesday, W**e Wednesday returns with a curated tasting featuring w**es from the beautiful Piemonte region of Italy. Each selection has been thoughtfully chosen to pair beautifully with our new small plates, creating an experience that celebrates exceptional w**e, seasonal flavors, and the joy of gathering around the table.

And while you’re here…

🍹 The Great Cocktail & Mocktail Challenge continues Wednesday through Saturday! Experience our featured cocktail, Il Cornicello, or our featured mocktail, Il Compagno, then cast your vote for your favorite.

Three experiences.
One destination.
One unforgettable week on Water Street.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

One tradition. Two signature sips.

The Cornicello has long been a symbol of good fortune, hospitality, and sharing life’s simple pleasures with those around us. That spirit inspired us to create not one, but two signature drinks—Il Cornicello, our spirited Sicilian-inspired spritz, and Il Compagno, its thoughtfully crafted spirit-free companion.

Because the best traditions leave room for everyone at the table.

Different people. Different drinks. Shared tradition.

If our story brings you a little luck, a smile, or simply a moment worth sharing, we’d be honored to have your vote in the Great Cocktail & Mocktail Challenge.

✨ Raise a glass.
✨ Continue the story.
✨ Salute to good fortune.

🍷 Our very first W**e Wednesday is in the books—and what an incredible evening it was!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of thoughtfully selected w**es, perfectly paired bites, and wonderful conversation.

We’re excited to welcome you back for our next W**e Wednesday on Wednesday, July 22, where we’ll explore the renowned w**es of Piedmont, one of Italy’s most celebrated w**e regions.

Reservations will be available on Resy soon, so keep an eye out—seating is limited! Additional details about the featured w**es, pairings, and what to expect throughout the evening will be shared as we get closer to the event.

Thank you for making our first W**e Wednesday such a memorable one. We can’t wait to raise another glass with you. Salute! 🥂
