Best Romantic Restaurants in East Morrisania

Have been coming here for brunch and dinner, always great service and food, one of our favorite spots

First time at Costa - as a transformed establishment (it used to be a diffrent restaurant with a "speak easy bar" behind a panel. I believe they combined under common ownership with the italian restaurant next door. New menu is broad (combo of Middle Eastern/Mediteranian and Italizn (see restaurant combo comment above). It is well priced for the area (middle of the road with $17-$20 glasses of wine and $30-$50 entrees. Service was attentive and tables were well spaced. However, my first choice for Entee from the menu (Halibut) was sold out and my 2nd choice (Chicken Milanese) with mashed potatoes and brissel sproats ($29) came out with only the protein being hot. Plate sent back and return promptly with sides at correct temp. My wife order the Trout special and reported it was "very good"

The venue was beautifully decorated for the holidays and everything felt so festive. Excellent service and kind and attentive staff. The food could have been better salted but I understand that restaurants have to consider all dietary restrictions and salt can always be added but never subtracted. Loved the holiday vodka cocktail!

The Prosecco is well chosen, the bread home made and excellent; the food in each and every course, superb.

We loved this place! We drove by it many times but decided to stop by Friday night. The service was attentive, and the food was amazing! This will be a regular upscale date-night ristorante for us. Kudos to the staff and ownership.
