Food was well prepared. Menu was comprised primarily of Italian dishes Americans like. It needs more vegetarian options

Quiet night with few people, until one fairly loud couple was enjoying the evening right next to us. Enjoyed a spectacular appetizer and the entree was tasty but fairly ordinary. Service very personable.

Cute neighborhood spot. The pene vodka was the best item we ordered. The pasta in the cheese round is gimicky, was served in a cold saute pan, and lacked flavor. Roasted artichokes were not great. Ceasar salad was delicious. Staff was attentive. Overall nice experience.

Avoid. Waited for over an hour for an entree to never arrive. Almost had to leave without paying when we asked to settle up and depart. No one could be bothered to refill a glass or check on our order status. I literally had to track down the manager to pay for the wine and appetizer. Then, she tried to make me pay for the order that never arrived. Totally lame experience.
Osteria Cotto e MangiatoResponded 6 days ago
Dear Jim, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had at Osteria Cotto e Mangiato. Waiting over an hour for an entrée and feeling neglected by our staff is absolutely not the level of service we strive to provide. We understand how frustrating that must have been, and we’re truly sorry that we fell short. Your feedback is important to us, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. If you’re open to it, we’d love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so we can connect and hopefully restore your confidence in our restaurant. Best regards, Andrea Provino, Owner Osteria Cotto e Mangiato
