When I order chicken piccata, I expect thin, lightly dredged chicken that's browned, with a bright lemon-butter sauce balanced by capers, light, fresh, and clearly defined. What I was served here was quite different. The dish arrived as a bowl of angel hair pasta in a white, gravy-like sauce, topped with two unbrowned chicken breasts that did not appear to be dredged in flour. While there were capers present, the sauce lacked the lemon-forward brightness and balance that typically define piccata, and the overall effect was bland rather than fresh. This may be the restaurant's interpretation of the dish, but it didn't align with the classic preparation or flavor profile I was expecting. If you're ordering chicken piccata with a traditional lemon-caper profile, this version may not meet that expectation.

***GLUTEN FREE REVIEW*** On my Gluten Free journey to find…read morenew places to enjoy, I came across suggestions for Casa Cosenza. I read that the Chef is the wife/owner and the husband/owner runs front of house. I read they offered GF bread, pasta and other options. We went in right after they opened for the evening at 5:30pm. There was a couple at the bar and 5 gentlemen at a table. The ambiance and decor is nice and comfortable. There's a full bar. As we sat a young man brought water and menus right away, then brought a bread plate. I asked if he could bring GF bread. He returned and let me know there was none available. Not a big deal. The owner greeted us and I asked about the menu. On Yelp a menu shows clearly marked GF options, but none were on this revised menu. It did have a notation that GF options were available upon request. He said to just pick what I like and he'll see if it can be GF. I'll be honest, I "think" the server(s) must have called in sick because it was just the owner and the young kid, and the owner seemed very disorganized about serving and it wasnt even busy yet. It took a good 10-15 minutes until he was able to make his way back to us to order wine and a cocktail. His response to hubby's cocktail was that he's not a bartender and cant make a Moscow Mule. I asked if he had GingerBeer (I would walk him through it) but he said no. Hubby drank water, I had a glass of Pinot Noir. I knew things like Lasagne, Ravioli, etc could not be made GF, but the 3 plain pasta options weren't appealing to me. So I asked about the Eggplant appetizer and could it be made a dinner. He said he could make it dinner sized. Sounds good! Hubby got the Veal Scallopini Marsala. It does take awhile to get the food but you are forewarned that everything is fresh and made to order, so we were ok with the wait. My eggplant and sauce had a delicious flavor! However, the portion was small...either they forgot to make it larger (but charged me for it) or it just wasnt sufficient. Sadly, I left hungry. Worse, it was also COLD. I was so surprised! It was so cold that the Mozzarella Cheese was hardened on the inside. And speaking of hard....both hubby and my potatoes were hard and undercooked so we couldnt eat them. The veggies were good, but I also couldnt eat the chewy round parmesan crisps. Husband's Meal was decent, he said the sauce was delicious, but the veal was a bit tough, and again, his potatoes were undercooked and couldnt eat them. So to sum up, service was a bit disorganized and a tad slow (but I really do think someone called in as there was no server or bartender), the food was cold and small portions, BUT.....the flavor was really good! It is a bit of a disappointment to leave a restaurant hungry and paying $80 for a meal. Reading all the excellent reviews I think we just caught them on an off night. My suggestion, take your chances, it is a charming restaurant and the flavor of the food is really good--just try to catch them on a good night!

We came here for an early Friday dinner and I'm happy we did because this is a local hotspot that a lot of people might not even know is here. It can seemingly get crowded and it's a very tight fit if you have to wait for a table. You get bang for the buck in terms of the food and price. We got a custom pie and a Greek salad. The pie was MASSIVE, at the best price you'll find in the area. The ingredients were fresh and the food tasted amazing. Nothing is better than a piping hot pizza! The Greek salad is a wonderful addition and you get the potato salad at the bottom, as you do with most places in the area. I highly suggest giving Plum a try if you're a local trying a new spot or if you're visiting the area. The staff is amazing and on top of it ensuring the best possible experience and the food is the best Italian in the area.
