Not going to lie - if I suggest getting Cosimos for dinner to another person in my family - they are going to tell me to switch it up. But I don’t want to! This has been my favorite restaurant for years, ever since I attended Marist College. The quality has only improved, as well as the service. I’m not even sure where to begin because I have gone to the bar, eaten in all of the rooms, and had takeout from here more times than I care to admit.
I always start with...
