We both had their version of a Caesar Salad with added anchovies. For entrées, we both ordered their specials of the day. We got the Chilean Sea Bass and their Veal Osso Buco. The Sea Bass was nicely cooked and had a bell pepper coulis. The Osso Buco was served on a bed of risotto. The service was friendly and speedy. As a heads-up, they only have iced tea in plastic bottles. Most diners ordered wine with their meals. The owner was nice enough to speak to everyone at the end of the evening.

***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!

This place has excellent background music, employees who care (manager came by asking our opinion about our food, and so did the chef!), and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. It is a delightful place in which to dine. As we left we were offered a gelato sample. We had to decline. Too full even for that. We've had it before and ALL the flavors are wonderful to our taste buds. We'll be back!

I'm honestly still in disbelief that this was a $16 LARGE salad…read more The pictures speak for themselves. The container wasn't even remotely full. There was such a small amount of lettuce that I actually took everything apart and photographed the ingredients separately just to show exactly how little food was included. I contacted the restaurant directly before leaving this review because I wanted to give them the opportunity to address it. I was told that the only things that appeared to be missing were two tomatoes, a couple pieces of cheese, and maybe a little lettuce. So essentially, what you see pictured is what they consider an acceptable $16 large salad. Only after I said I was going to post a review was I told I could come back and get another salad. But that completely misses the point. I don't want another salad. The point is that you are charging customers $16 for this portion and apparently consider it acceptable. I wasn't trying to get free food or an extra salad. I simply expected to receive what I paid for. If this is truly the standard portion, replacing it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is the value. I've supported this restaurant, recommended it to other people, and sent customers their way, which makes the response even more disappointing. Unfortunately, they've lost my business, and I certainly won't continue recommending them. If this is their idea of a $16 large salad, customers deserve to know what they're paying for before they order. Charging $16 for this amount of food is pathetic. Edit: I translated my English to Spanish since the manager spoke Spanish when I called and needed another employee to translate. No issues with that, just tried to assist in the language barrier.

I didn't try the mozzarella triangles myself, but others at our table said they were delicious. For mains, we ordered the "Combination for Two," lasagna, and the special of the day, a parmesan-crusted salmon. The salmon was outstanding and cooked to perfection. The combination platter itself was very generous--easily enough for three people depending on your appetite. It came loaded with fried eggplant, two sausages, spaghetti, cheese ravioli, plus a basket of garlic bread. The bread was excellent, especially with the flavorful garlic butter seasoning. For dessert, we split the lemon cake with raspberry drizzle, which was light, refreshing, and a perfect ending to the meal. If I had one critique, it's that the red sauces across different dishes tasted very similar, which made it feel a little repetitive. That said, I definitely plan to return and try more dishes to explore the variety of flavors they have to offer.

On August 11 my 17 year old daughter went to pick up her order in which I called in for her. The total was $30.30, My daughter watched the waitress tap the 20% gratuity before flipping the screen and then having her sign. As someone in the service industry this type of business practice is deceiving and unethical. I have been in the service industry for decades and my children have been taught to tip services accordingly. But to take it upon yourself to tack on 20% on a pick up order because you handed over the counter is absurd. We could have gone there, sat down and dined in with 20% gratuity for services provided. And to be honest the service isn't worth 20% . I've personally watched the same old servers give mediocre service for years. The best thing about Plump Tomato was my delivery guy Bruce.
