I love ordering catering for work and family events from Cossetta Eventi. It's fast and easy if done online. I have ordered at least 15 times in the last 5 years and never had an issue.

Been going to Cosetta's for 25 years and they never disappoint. For a first timer, it can be a bit daunting, but hang in there as it's worth it. I've been to New York's Little Italy many times in my life and Cosetta's takes me there. Let's start with the Italian Hero: the meats and Italian dressing are so, so good. Not to mention it's huge! Easily a 2 person sandwich, or come hungry and polish it off yourself. Next up, the Pepper Calabrese: the sauce the sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms are in is awesome. A wonderfully flavored dish. I have had many other things there in my life and never disappointed. Cosetta's is always an experience.

After many years of being a patron, I will sadly no longer be coming here. Per usual, the place was packed before a game. As we checked out at a register, my girlfriend went hunting for a table. Within 2mins I found her crying at a two person table. Apparently she had found an empty table, but was then scolded by a staff member for sitting down without a tray or food. She explained to the staff member that I was checking out at the register, but was interrupted by him and said "he has 2mins to be here before I kick you out." Stunned, she began crying to the point where other customers volunteered to sit with her to ensure she would not get kicked out ...Shocking right?! I called the restaurant the next day, no answer, I even emailed them and submitted a formal complaint .... never heard back, never got an apology, no follow up.

Cute Italian bakery with many goods. If you're looking for gelato or fresh baked goods, this is the place to be. They were really busy (enough to where you have to get numbers, but it was worth. We got the banana foster and the key lime tart.

The cutest little Italian spot with a cafeteria set up, market and patisserie! There is a free parking lot right on Smith avenue for Cosetta. Inside there is a great variety of Italian food with subs, salads, pasta and pizza. Grab a tray and move along the line. Upstairs is plenty of seating to eat as well as a bar.The market has a bakery with fresh breads and market finds. Also saw the largest block of cheese ever! My favorite is the patisserie. There are great selection of cakes, chocolates, sweets and gelato! The gelato was so good, I had the Amaretto and Caffe. The pistachio and blood orange was also delicious. Will have to come back to try to rest of the baked goods!

I got charged a 5 dollar tip for someone to scoop some noodles in a bowl and hand it to meNobody even asked if i wanted to tip and it was not a option on the device they were using to take payments.I feel like thats all that really needs to be said.

The best catering option for casual Italian in Saint Paul. Cosetta Eventi is the catering arm of Cossetta's Alimentari; I am not sure why everyone is dropping reviews for the restaurant here but maybe that is how Yelp gets done in Minnesota. I digress... Cosetta Eventi catered a wedding reception I attended late in 2022 and I was completely blown away at what a marvelous job they did. Usually catered wedding fare is poor seasoned and therefore bland, the options are generally cliche, and if you are very unlucky everything will already be lukewarm. Not the case with Cosetta Eventi. Some of my favorites include the Farfalle & Broccoli Salad featuring a zippy Garlic Vinegarette, the massive Charcuterie sporting the house-made Mozzarella, and their wildly popular Bruchetta thanks to that unforgettable Eggplant Tapenade. As the main, I opted for the Bolognese Penne which offers a perfected al dente Pasta topped with a classic Meat Sauce loaded with pieces of Pancetta and ground Beef & Pork. Large slices of imported Tomatoes act as a garnish with a pinch of Chives for color. This pairs perfectly with quality Merlot but I am sure a hoppy IPA would never disappoint. I highly recommend Cosetta Eventi's services if you live in the Twin Cities metro area.
Cosettas has it figured out. Even on the busiest of days, there's always a parking spot out back. Even when the line looks longer than all heck, you'll be eating in under an hour. If you haven't been, you grab a tray and walk cafeteria style ordering food and then paying at the end. Any of the salads are great, the mostaccioli is so gd good, the pizza is also yum. Once you pay, you're going to think 'now how the heck will we even find a seat' (bc there will be so many people there). You'll flip out once you see how many secret rooms there are upstairs for seating. Water cups are upstairs and you grab your own to go boxes right by the water/tray return. Run!!!

Food was really good. A little pricey, but to be expected. I was eat here again.Only reason I docked them a star was rude staff (not all of them, but the server giving me soup today and the pizza lady with both snotty). Also I was asked to move my seat 3 separate times for various reasons. Good form would have been for the staff to either close whatever table off that they felt they needed clear (both tables in my case.....) or wait until I was finished to do whatever task they had to do. We weren't blocking a door or fire exit so there really wasn't a good reason to harass us - 3 times at that. Table was set by the folks running the shop too, so we didn't move furniture either.Other than that though, food really was tasty - I had carrot cake that was yummy and a slice of pepperoni pizza which was some of the best pizza in town. Need to work on customer service though

Cosetta's is such an amazing "food court" style restaurant. Although "food court" makes it sound less classy- it's a nice spot! It has great options for everyone in your party & is great for larger groups. Delicious!
Always delicious Food
Nice desserts!
