When most people think of senior living, they imagine buffets and bland dining halls. But at Corso Atlanta, meals look more like what you’d find in Buckhead’s top restaurants: candlelit dinners, chef-driven menus and bistros buzzing with energy. In a city proud of its food scene, Corso is quietly carving out its own niche.
This ultra-luxury residence is redefining what it means to age intentionally. For Corso, food isn’t just fuel—it’s culture, hospitality and connection.
From its inception, Corso set out to break the mold. Instead of one main dining hall, residents can choose from multiple restaurant concepts, each with its own identity.
At the helm of the culinary design is Executive Chef Robbie Pacheco, who is very intentional in each menu that he creates.
“When I curate menus at Corso, I think about each space itself, the aesthetic for each individual eatery,” Executive Chef Robbie Pacheco says. “Each space has its own design and personality, so it helps me to distinguish the style and genre.”
And, this approach goes far beyond the food.
“Every time a resident or guest enjoys a meal in one of our restaurants, I want them to feel as though they just left one of the most memorable dining experiences in their life,” he says.
A look at the restaurants at Corso Atlanta:
The Galerie: The grand restaurant. Think candlelit dinners, white tablecloths and refined service, feeling more like a private supper club than senior living. Chef Pacheco’s menu is packed with à la carte options and brings an elevated approach to a large variety of classics. “We respond to our residents and guests by bringing new additions and refinements to the menu each month,” Pacheco remarks.
Le Marche: A vibrant and bustling French-inspired bistro that is a social hub for morning coffee, light lunches and pastries from Atlanta’s favorite Alon’s Bakery.
The Creperie: A favorite for all. This candy shop-esque retreat is a whimsical spot serving locally sourced ice cream and desserts and is beloved by visiting grandchildren or anyone with an early-morning sweet tooth. Here, you will also find unique flower arrangements from Terry Furuta’s Flowers of Giverny boutique placed around the tables and décor to add to the experience.
Beyond the Plate
Food and beverage at Corso Atlanta go further than just the restaurants. For example, Food and Beverage Director Kyle Lashley curates private wine dinners and tastings at The Overlook Lounge, which is the home of their main bar. One recent program transported residents to Provence with regional pours and pairings.
“Many of our residents and guests have traveled the world,” Lashley says. “By revisiting those regions and their wines, we celebrate not just taste, but memory and legacy.”
What’s Next
Corso Atlanta is already planning its next courses. Slated to break ground later this year, the expansion will introduce two new, unique restaurant venues. One is an Italian restaurant that will feature a grand wood-fire grill for fresh pizzas and a menu entirely curated by the Executive Chef Robbie Pacheco. Alongside the Italian eatery will be a café-market hybrid created through a local partnership. The Corso Atlanta expansion will also introduce 100 new residences.
Corso’s culinary growth mirrors the brand’s larger expansion. With new residences underway in Druid Hills, Chevy Chase, Tysons, Philadelphia, and Manhattan, Corso is positioning itself not just as senior living, but as a hospitality-driven luxury and lifestyle brand.
