Delicious vegan meals and Pam was amazing and caring for us. Definitely another spot to eat dinner in the Poconos.Vegetarian options: They have a separate menu just for vegan.Dietary restrictions: It's great to find a place that understands a vegan menu.Kid-friendliness: Arcade games and activities for the kids in the front entrance.

My family and I go to Cosenza's often, especially when we want some comfy homecooked food! We have a running joke that we haven't had one thing from here that we didn't like. The atmosphere is cozy and service is great (Carlee and Courtney are our favorites!). The owner, Pam, never misses a quick lull in the action to come out of the kitchen to say hi and make sure everything is tasty! Highly recommend stopping by, I promise you won't regret it :)

I tried. Really hard. I have been wanting to go for a while. Close to two years since we moved back up to the mountains. The reason we went was because we had vegan family members visiting and they have some vegan selections on the menu. Communication with this facility is worse than pulling teeth. Even when I would finally get a reply, it was as few syllables as possible. I was told they have a full bar. Brought my husband for his 70th birthday. He wanted a Bloody Mary. Any 'full bar' has the making for a Bloody Mary, they did not. After alllll of the times of trying to communicate ... you would think I would've been told they prefer cash only. They will take CC, but when you're spending $ for 7 people to eat... that extra 3% is a lot. I opted to use the ATM machine in the lobby. I was trying to get enough cash out before realizing it has a $100 limit. Never saw that in my life. I guess it's so they can collect the atm fee twice? I asked the owner if the ATM machine would allow me to use it twice in a row since I couldn't take enough out, and she shrugged at me and may have said something, not sure. WHAT? It's HER BUSINESS. I literally felt like I was a burden from start to finish. Now, the actual dining experience. There was one employee that seemed to be running the entire restaurant. Hopefully she wasn't also cooking. We sat... and sat.... And sat... it took an absurd amount of time to place an order. It was discussed at least 3 different times if someone should go up and see if someone was going to take our order. Keep in mind that we were the only people in the restaurant most of this time. We were the only party in the main dining room for awhile. A couple that was seated way after us, placed their order and got their food first. I'm not talking 10 minutes. We waited over thirty minutes to order, over thirty minutes for the food to come, and all together we were there for 2 hours. Most of that time waiting to order, and waiting for food. So we get through, pack up the leftovers, and leave. Just now I heated up my husband's and my leftovers. The icing on the cake was pulling a long hair out from my leftovers, it wasn't on top... it was completely in the dish. Threw it away. Never again. Let me just say this... I've heard good things. I don't know if you 'have to know the owner' or need to be a regular to get good service, but whatever the magic pill was, we definitely didn't have it.

Best pizza around. And you have to try the hoagie. They are amazing.
I had the immense pleasure of partaking in an evening of exquisite gastronomy at Cosenza Restaurant, a hidden gem nestled amidst the verdant woods of Pennsylvania. The reason for my initial visit was to convene our mycologist club, an assembly of nature enthusiasts who share an ardent passion for the enigmatic world of mushrooms. First Thursdays of the month are a cherished occasion for us, where we gather to explore the fungal mysteries of our environment.Now, let me regale you with the culinary delights that awaited us within those rustic walls. The wings, my dear reader, were nothing short of ambrosial. Each succulent morsel bore a symphony of flavors that danced upon the palate like a maestro's masterstroke. It was these ethereal wings that initially held my attention.But the siren song of Cosenza did not stop there. The pizzas, oh, the pizzas! They transcended the boundaries of terrestrial cuisine and ventured into the realm of celestial artistry. A melange of toppings and cheeses atop a perfectly blistered crust, it was as if the heavens themselves had deigned to bestow this culinary masterpiece upon us.Before we embarked on our wing and pizza odyssey, our meal began with salads that could only be described as labors of love. Each leaf and ingredient seemed to have been meticulously selected, an ode to the garden from whence they sprang. It was a harmonious prelude to the gastronomic symphony that followed.And let us not forget the pasta, for even this humble dish at Cosenza was a marvel. The delicate strands of pasta, bathed in rich and savory sauces, evoked nostalgia for Italian kitchens of yore.I raise my glass in a toast to the owner of this culinary sanctuary, for they have bestowed upon us a treasure in the heart of the wilderness. Cosenza Restaurant is not merely a dining establishment; it is an epicurean journey, a sojourn through the senses that leaves an indelible mark on one's culinary soul. It is a place where mycologists, food aficionados, and seekers of culinary transcendence can unite under the same sylvan roof, celebrating life's joys in every bite. Cheers!
