Excellent Italian restaurant in Geneva Illinois with a big selection of uncommon Italian dishes – both starters and pasta. Clean, bright environment, good service and large portions. Tasted lobster pasta as well as the black ink seafood pasta and don’t miss their homemade mozzarella. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Cotto A Legna. We dined in and were seated right away on a Saturday night despite arriving early for our reservation. I had the Lobster Roll with a side salad, and while it is certainly not a traditional East Coast sandwich, it was certainly a delicious rendition. My husband had the Mortadella Pizza, and he liked it very much, but thought the ball-of-mozzarella on top was a little too strange. I had a couple of leftover slices for lunch the next day, and it tasted far better than I thought it looked. My sister had the Chicken Marsala, and enjoyed it very much. it was her second time in two visits to this restaurant that she ordered it. I wish I had tried it because it looked very good. I also had a couple of pomegranate martinis, which were delish!

From the moment we walked in, Joel greeted us with a smile and had us laughing like he was an old friend. Food was delicious and he went the extra mile to make sure my margarita was just perfect to my liking. Will definitely be back for the service and great food!

We (me + 2) visited this place on a Wednesday evening in January 2023. There were no tables available, so we ordered a few beers on tap and waited at the bar area. I like the selection of beers they had on draft since there were a few local/craft beer options I had never tried before. We were seated at a table within 15 minutes and we received very courteous and friendly service. For food, we ordered the White Margherita and Mortadella (see pictures attached to this review). While there are many pizza options on the menu, we tried the above two. The bread on these pizzas was really good and unique. I didn’t like the Mortadella pizza all that much but the White Margherita was very good.

Cotto a Leggna is incredible. This is my favorite place in Geneva, and Grneva has great restaurants. Their food is amazing, their service is excellent. They have outside sitting, their food selection, and drink selection pairs great.

Had pizza and pasta, both excellent!! The wood fired pizza is the best, especially if you like extra crispy. House salad was excellent too! Definitely going back!

Yummy food! I think they were understaffed so service was super slow. But on top of that our waitress wasn’t very friendly and somewhat felt like it was inconvenience to her that we were there.

I was excited to have lunch with my family at this place last Sunday since they have the squid ink pasta. I ordered the Tagliatelle Seafood which comes with squid ink pasta, to my surprise, it came with a regular pasta. I asked the waitress about it, she didn’t know about their menu. She went to talk to the chef/cook to inquire, she was told that they ran out of squid ink pasta so they decided to just use a regular one. They serve a different pasta/dish without informing the customer. In addition, I was told that there was no manager or supervisor on duty that I can talk to!

One word. AMAZING. This place blew me away. Everything was so fresh and the flavors were so good. You need to get the prosciutto and fig bruschetta, baked clams, and the truffle pasta. So good. I can’t wait to come back because I want to try everything on this menu.

Unfortunately the service here is still the same, lack of service! The server was very short when I asked about a bread option, or a sauce. Her response was that’s what comes with it! We don’t have a different bread, when clearly the other sandwich had a different option for bread. Same goes with the sauce, I asked for vodka sauce instead if red NO was the answer it only goes with a certain dish. Umm ok?? We were ready to get up and go elsewhere, we ordered, never saw our server till the food came, she never brought our drinks, food came she dropped it and we had to flag down another staff member to get us our check and another 20 min before she came to check us out. Absolutely unacceptable! We are done going here. The service sucks and the food definitely wasn’t worth what they charged us. That’s too bad cause we live in the bldg.
