Now don't go getting offended with me about this comment; if you've traveled out of the area you know exactly what I am talking about! ;)If you want to expand outside of the usual the flights give you a taste without the commitment. Cosimo has excellent cuisine, albiet the portions are small compared to other restaurants in the area, the quality of the fish and meat excellent, and the service good. It's in my top five if I'm not heading up to NYC that is, so if you love food and wine and don't want just Italian cuisine(they do have a pasta dish or two on the menu for the enthusiasts), Cosimo is the place for you.

That accounting for different levels of expectation, I must say that I haved wined and dined at least three dozen times at Cosimo with great enjoyment and pleasure. My personal cellar contains about 3500 bottles of wine, and I dine out probably four times weekly. That is not stated to impress, but to let you know that I can be a real challenge to satisfy. I really think that if you take the time to "wine speak" with the bartenders, work through the wine list (high-end by the glass), order the duck or the pork entree, and finish with any of the crazy-good dessert concoctions, you will find this place a wonderful spot to match great food and wine. If you look around on any given night, you will probably see the sommeliers from the some of the finest restaurants in the area sitting around the bar tasting Cosimo's wines. Does that tell you something? Jon Responds,

So we went on Saturday for the first time. The dining experience was real good and the food was prepared well. Gotta say that was the best Salmon dish I've eaten (besides the one I cooked myself on a camping trip in Alaska). Would definetly be back and it's a must try on the main line.

Sounds like the biggest bargain on the main line even with small portions-- must be something I'm not getting right.

The wine tasting options can't be beat with the 3 or 5 oz. glass, whole bottle or wine flights. All the food we had was delicious including an arugula salad, gnocchi and duck entree. The dessert options were unique with a grouping of small bites of various treats. My only complaint would be that it's expensive and the portions are on the light side. We spent about $80 before tip and we left feeling hungry for something more substantial. My husband and I had a great dining experience.

Been told to check out Cosimo from some friends and have to tell ya that the food and wine we had were very good. Mueller Pinot Noir paired with Duck recommended by our server was perfect. Also, the desserts were a small tasting from categories (chocolate, tropical). What we had was very good. Will be back again and recommend to others to try.

Our server (Simon) was very friendly and the food was outstanding. I recommend Cosimo to everyone in my office, it's worth a try.
