This is the Best place to eat Italian food! I have a Gluten intolerance however, I Can eat it here. The food is homemade and it is Wonderful. I highly recommend eating here if you love Italian food and have a Gluten intolerance.

We go to Costa’s regularly because their food never disappoints! But I want to address the negatives: Manager/Owner, I’m not the first to write that the entire restaurant needs a deep cleaning!! The oil bottles and spices mix on the tables are really dirty. So are the ceiling fans. There is NO bartender so I wouldn’t advertise this because nobody knows how to mix a cocktail. I’ve also seen many people complain that the bread has been changed and I don’t care for it either!...
