Phenomenal! What can we say… It’s not on the menu but the octopus was delicious! A “regular” recommended it. The bolognese was flavorful and the atmosphere was perfect. Antipasti is on point; the Old Fashion with Maker’s Mark was perfect.

Nice restaurant. Good food and good service here.

I was Welcomed and Thoroughly Entertained the Entire time by R&B HITS from Back In The Day by “THE CULTURE”

Experience was below expectations for an upscale dining restaurant. Pastas and entrees were watery and lacked flavor. Salads were similarly swimming in oil and water. Communicated the issues to server and while apologetic, nothing done to correct the issues but offers for free dessert. Wouldn’t return nor recommend.

We have been going to Pasta Cosi for over 10 years and the food was good as usual when it was correct. Service was subpar unfortunately. Took almost an hour to get entrées and took over twenty minutes to get my water filled. When entrées did come out it was the wrong meal. They were quick with the check though.

Experience was horrific. Our server and one of thr managers, Robin, incorrectly charged our cards too much. Then brought us the correct bills with the lower amounts that were correct. While eating ice cream next door 20 minutes later, Robin chased us into the ice cream parlor demanding we pay more money for their mishap with the bill. Completely unprofessional and rude and would not recommend this restaurant

It’s a nice small spot. They took a little long to serve us, & bring the food out. Even though the restaurant was almost empty. But the service was friendly & it was a calm environment. The food was alright.

Dinner at Pasta Cosi last night. Very good service. Seriously mediocre food. Terrible vibe. Openly hostile other patrons?? Weird. Awful. Pictured: Seafood Salad Special. VERY FRESH. Tasty, although lacked seasoning (I added hot red pepper flake). Very far from the Scungilli Salad I thought it would be (based on the description). Sole Florentine. Again, VERY FRESH fish. Proper egg wash/batter. Served over spinach with shitake mushrooms (LOVE SHITAKES!). Again. Lacked flavor. Half order of Penne alla Vodka. As you can see: this is NOT Vodka sauce. I asked my server. He said that it was Def Vodka sauce. So I guess this is what they think is Vodka sauce??? Uhhhh….incorrect. It was very mediocre Marinara with lackluster tomatoes and very little…you guessed it: flavor!! Cannot recommend.

The best ravioli i’ve ever had in my life and the marinara sauce is out of this world. The bread and cocktails are also great. Nice staff, tasty italian food and good environment.

This was my first time at this restaurant. As soon as I walked through the door, I knew the food was going to be good. There were a lot of people there. The food was good, and the service was excellent. I will return.
