Have always loved the atmosphere at Cotta. Food is v tasty, service is quick and friendly & drinks are strong. The back section upstairs is perfect for those wanting a bit more privacy and intimacy. Love the pork ragu!

Very accommodating to hard of hearing guests in our party and server Anna was hospitable and kind! We ordered pizza and pasta and all were fantastic. A cannot miss spot!

Huge disappointment- hope I will be changing this review, I’ve been a big fan. But I was really flabbergasted when I was asked for “last call” for food and drink at 9:50 PM then place empties and lights on and cleaning crew in full force 15m later! I am alone at the bar with a full glass of wine and food! I have been going to this place for over 10 years and never had such an experience - usually closed when people finished their meals! No hint of getting kicked out. There was one other couple behind me equally befuddled!

Solid neighborhood spot. The downstairs is more of a bar (but still serving real food), while upstairs is sit-down and family friendly. The orecchiette was tasty, and the pesto had a nice fresh flavor. The sopressetta and hot honey pizza was a great balance of flavors and a touch of heat. For dessert, we had the banana bread pudding, which was cinnamon-y and cozy.

Meal was great and service was amazing! My waiter was Victor he was so attentive and kind. Really made a great night for what was only supposed to be dinner for one!!
I had my birthday dinner with 10 people here and we absolutely loved it! We chose from the family style menu and there was plenty of food for everyone. We especially loved the arancini, papardelle with pork ragú, rosemary potatoes, and wood fired chicken. The service was amazing — they took great care of us and the vibes in the restaurant were awesome. We had such a blast!

Met my brother here while visiting the city last weekend. When he told me they had the best wings in the city I was skeptical. Boy was he right!!! Perfectly cooked, with a nice crisp. The show stopper...the flavor! Rosemary Wings! We're originally from Central NY where buffalo wings are king. Im am now torn. We also had a nice pizza with basil, a pasta dish and some drinks. Throughout the few hours we were there the servers didn't let our glasses empty once, whether it was water or adult style! Will be a must stop anytime we visit!

Do not order take out from this restaurant.
I ordered from this neighborhood restaurant through Uber Eats, I live just nine blocks away, and it took over 25 minutes to arrive. When it finally did, the pizza box looked like it had been dropped. The pizza itself was completely flipped upside down, stone cold, and inedible.
I called the restaurant expecting them to help, but they couldn’t have cared less. They told me to “request a refund through the app” and reorder myself. No apology, no attempt to fix it, just total indifference.
It’s incredibly disappointing, especially from a local place I actually wanted to support. If this is how they handle customers, I won’t be ordering again, and I suggest others think twice before doing so.
