We saw that Cosa Nostra was going to be in our area again on Saturday at Ranchers Feed and Supply in Lemmon Valley. We thought we would check them out again because it was so good the first time. We arrived about 5pm and it was not as busy as the last time we stopped in and we were able to place our order right away. We each ordered an entree and decided to again get an order of the meat and cheese Arancini, these were so delicious last time!  We learned they roll them by hand. We chatted with John and Glynis, the owners as John prepared our food and learned that like myself he is a Navy Submarine Vet. It was nice to get to know them and we told them how nice it is to have them in the area providing delicious food in the North Valleys. They shared that they secured this spot at Ranchers Feed and Supply two nights per week in addition to their other locations. If you haven't checked them out yet - don't wait, everything is delicious! read more

Who would've thunk a food truck makes such authentic homemade pastas? What a fabulous idea, kudos to owner Chad and his team for thinking this up! Yelpers were introduced to the this hidden gem of a massive warehouse tucked away in the Richmond Marina during Yelp's Fit Club 2018. I thank Yelp for finding this delicious food truck; I will cross the bridge for food LOL! The pastas are made fresh daily, and you can order off their menu or create your own pasta. With a teenager who eats everything, I can't always go to Olive Garden for the AYCE pastas or bread during their promotions. Besides, there's no Olive Garden in Marin, they even shut down Tomatina's, Chevy's, Pasta Pomodoro's, Denny's, Outback, CPK & Max's (just venting). The homemade cannolis are a must-have for dessert. I can't wait to see this truck around town, sure wish they would come to Off the Grid in Larkspur on Sundays. The prices are decent with copious amounts of pasta & sauce. The focaccia bread is soft and warm, get those arancini balls, too. I know there are pasta snobs who think they can make way better pasta at home, but ain't nobody got time for that! I was given a pasta maker, and I gave it away. My mom makes homemade noodles and dumplings, but these days, there are too many places that make them and some on wheels like a food truck.

Nice, hot, homemade pasta on a chilly Richmond day?! I just couldn't resist. My build your own pasta creation included pappardele, creamy tomato sauce, meatballs, and carmelized onions. It's reasonably priced and the portion size was decent. The flavors are great! Perfectly seasoned meatballs and spot-on al dente pasta combined with a well balanced tomato cream sauce.. mmm I already want it again. read more

CosaNostra SF - Food Trucks Near Me

A food truck that serves freshly made pasta dishes from scratch? Colored me surprised that Cosa Nostra Pasta Truck is not only around, but thriving in various locations they happen to make throughout the East Bay thanks to being based out of Berkeley. Fresh and traditional Italian dishes, including house made pastas are all here. Made with all the seasonal and local ingredients that one would expect out of an Italian restaurant, just this venue isn't what one would expect: a mobile food truck, and a nice one at that. They even smartly showcase all of their raw pasta noodles freshly rolled into balls ready to be boiled and rice balls ready to be fried in a window right in front of their food truck, talk about truth in advertising! I happened to discover Cosa Nostra after attending an event at the nearby Craneway Pavilion in Richmond and as luck would have it, they were the only food truck on the premises, so as our party was leaving for our cars we noticed the Cosa Nostra parked and we were intrigued with the menu as they smartly showed off six of their specialty pasta dishes that were as varied as as a Vegetarian Pasta Primavera to a Spaghetti Tomato Ragu with Meatballs. They even have a build your own pasta dish section on their menu. Even though I wasn't super hungry, I knew I had to order something as I really was intrigued with how the pasta was made in a little mobile kitchen. So I ordered Tony's Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Mushrooms, and my fellow diner ordered the Pappardelle Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Mushrooms, and we decided to split a serving of their Herb Foccacia Bread, in addition to one appetizer they have on their menu their Four Cheese Arancini, which were stuffed rice balls coated in bread crumbs then deep fried and served with a side of Marinara sauce. Every pasta dish was rich and creamy and filled with an abundance of ingredients so much so I only finished half of my meal and took the rest home thanks to the handy to-go box that my meal was served in. I found the bread warm with every bite and nicely seasoned with plenty of herbs. The only thing was I found the Arancini balls lacking in style and flavor, so much so I chose not to even finish the one ball I sampled so that was a real disappointment. My total bill was fourteen dollars total, and for a complete meal like this you cannot beat a price like that. Would I return to sample more dishes from the Costa Nostra Pasta Truck in the future? In an Italian minute, just so I could sample more of their flavorful dishes and to try that Pistachio Cannoli that was calling my name but I didn't seem to have room for this time around, but next time, they may not be so lucky! read more

Wow! One of the best - if not the best food truck I have tried. The Arancinis are outstanding! The spaghetti sausage is a great quick pick. They did a really great job with my wife's build your own pasta creation. They got the food out pretty quick even with the build your own in the mix. The truck crew were friendly and they started serving when they were scheduled. The price is reasonable for a Bay Area food truck. I hope they visit WC again soon! read more

CosaNostra SF - Love food trucks! - Food Trucks Near Me

Finally - a food truck that doesn't overcharge for their food! I got to try Cosa Nostra when they were at the entrance of East Brother Beer Company in Richmond and it was the perfect meal to have with my flights of beer. You can either choose one of their specialty pastas or create your own (choice of type of pasta, sauce, meats, and vegetables). I got everything except the vegetables and it came to $11. I got the pappardelle pasta with arrabiata sauce (spicy tomato sauce) and meatballs and it was absolutely delicious. The pappardelle was perfectly al dente and the meatballs were perfectly cooked. I'm craving it as I type this. My husband got Tony's fettuccini Alfredo, which he really enjoyed as well. It was $12. Would go back in a heartbeat. Service was also very friendly and prompt. read more

I'm coming back! Not too often you find a decent Italian restaurant but hold on, a decent, sorry, a great Italian food truck? It does exist let me tell you. When it comes to food there are some dishes you can't make to look like Michael Angelo murals and some like the Fettuccine Alfredo I enjoyed from this kitchen that won't ever need to be. This truck might make the fresh prince of bel air look stale. There's nothing like a chef in his element and the man responsible for this food is no exception. As I'm walking up, I see fresh ingredients going from one pan to another, the smells change almost as frequently as the sounds in the kitchen but gracefully as if the foods taking in all the passion and expertise the chef is putting into it. Nothing is sitting in a warmer, or being recessitated. These guys compensate you for the chance you take when you decide to try something new and pick theyre menu over what might be your all time favorite or ecen a family tradition, at least I have absolutely no complaints! Thank you! read more

CosaNostra SF - Food Trucks Near Me

For weeks, Nostra Pasta Truck was hyped up to me daily. Almost every day I heard about how amazing this food truck is. I love food trucks, and a lot of times I think they serve better food than restaurants, but Nostra was starting to sound like the food truck of the gods. Off the Grid was surprisingly empty on the night we went, which is very unlike OTG. The emptiness worked in our favor, however, providing zero wait in line. Under one of the trucks windows is a sign that reads "Fresh made pasta", and directly below is a tray of said pasta, and it looked phenomenal. The menu is simple: You can either choose from one of three different pasta specials, or create your own using a variety of pasta, meats, sauces, and vegetables. I ordered the George's Spaghetti Special, which simply consists of spaghetti noodles, Italian sausage, tomato sauce, and cooked onions. The dish screams simplicity, and a louder scream screams DELICIOUS. Homemade pasta tastes miles above anything else. Pasta is the kind of food that you can definitely tastes when it's processed and when it's homemade, and the latter is something that just can't be beat. The sausage had a small spicy kick, but nothing overpowering, and tasted amazing, as did the sauce. After devouring my pasta, I realized what all the hype was about. This food truck is easily one of my favorite food trucks ever. read more

On a Wednesday at OTG El Cerrito, my boyfriend was having a carbs craving and happened onto a certain pasta truck. I was skeptic, as I have seen similar "pasta" trucks to be disappointment, How wrong I was.....this truck is amazing. Usually with homemade pasta they end up stick and making a pasta ball. This place was amazing. The built your own pasta was tempting, but my boyfriend asked for the most popular, which turned out to be what he wanted the Alfredo, but he got it spicy and it was Delicious. It as better then many expensive Italian places in the East Bay at a faction of the price. For ~$10, it was amazing, I will have to try so many more pastas from this truck. read more

Currently parked off of Lone Tree at the Waterpark for Food Truck Thursday & Pipo & I ordered Pasta Primavera & the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Mushrooms. I'm slightly embarrassed. I don't really like mushrooms, but Pipo eats it for me as I feel bad for asking for food without... the chef saw me giving it to her and was so kind to ask me if I would like him to remake it without mushrooms. It was such a nice offer, which I didn't take because the food itself was delicious! Thank you for the kind offer and I hope that the chef didn't think I didn't like the food. On the contrary, it was creamy and the pasta was cooked al dente thank you so much! read more

Who would have guessed that a food truck would have good pasta? Not me that's for sure. I was wrong the pasta was wonderful. It was as good--if not better than most pasta restaurants. I have not been to many food truck events recently that might change. I suspect I will be going more often so I can be on the look-out for this food truck. When I looked at the menu on the side of the truck I was torn. I could design my own pasta or order one of their specialties. I was considering doing my own as I normally prefer tomato-based pasta sauces and I usually leave off chicken because it always seems dry to me. As I was hemming and hawing about what to order a young man came to the window, he must have guessed my indecision and suggested I try the Tony's Alfredo 80% of their customer ordered this dish, it is their best seller. I ordered it, a few minutes later my pasta was ready. It was hot and looked and smelled delicious, The fettuccini was fresh and cooked to perfection The Alfredo sauce with thinly sliced mushrooms and chicken was a real treat. The chicken that almost kept me from ordering this dish was the biggest surprise; the pieces were small juicy and favorable cubes. I took my pasta to the deck at 4 Fools Winery and imagined that I was on vacation, not in the Rodeo Marina, but in Italy. read more

Cosa Nostra is the best food truck in the bay area, and I cannot get enough of their fresh, delicious pasta. Every time I see them in the line up for Off the Grid (Pleasant Hill) it Taste of the World Market (Walnut Creek), I have to stop and visit them. My go to is the fettuccine with creamy tomato sauce and beef ragu. It is absolutely delicious! But you can't go wrong with any of their pastas. Everything is amazing, and the pasta is made fresh. read more

I never thought a food truck would come along that would tear my attention away from all the lobster roll food trucks but one finally has! The greatest thing about watching the food truck revolution happen is seeing all the ways people are presenting familiar ideas in new ways - making all our comfort classics work in the super fun and accessible way food trucks operate. I had no idea fresh pasta would be the next frontier! But when I strolled up to the Cosa Nostra truck at the Off The Grid location in Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, it was too tempting to ignore. Choose your fresh pasta (spaghetti, fettucini or papardelle), choose your sauce, and if you like add meats and veggies to design your perfect plate of pasta from the ground up. There are also some photos of suggested combos and a few pre-designed options if you want to trust the owners with a recipe. So cool! But I ain't no pasta noob, I got this. I ordered up the fettucini with creamy tomato sauce and spicy meatballs, and had about a 5 minute wait as everything is cooked up fresh to order. The portion is huge for about $12, and toppings goodies are provided, so go ahead and sprinkle on some parm or pepper flakes. I dived into that plate of pasta and my brains melted - it was so incredibly fresh and flavorful! Until I finally board the plane to Italy and eat fresh pasta in the mother land, this is for sure the best pasta I've ever eaten! The difference between fresh and not-so-fresh is mindblowing. And oh that creamy tomato sauce, so rich and savory! I've returned to this truck 3 times now and have tilted my order towards chicken to keep it a bit lighter, which is just as delicious. But I'm gleefully in the Delicious Rut - I want to try more sauce and pasta combos but I would be so sad to NOT inhale that creamy tomato fettucini! Oh such delicious problems to have. If you hit Off The Grid and see Cosa Nostra, STEP UP! You will not be disappointed - I guarantee you've eaten at Italian sit-down restaurants that weren't this good. If ever there was a place where you could taste the love in the food, this is it. I will be back again and again and again! read more

I tried Cosa Nostra out for the first time at the Taste of The World Market in Walnut Creek. I was skeptical at first when we drove up (also in a food truck) but my love for pasta won me over anyway. While we were prepping to open up, I couldn't help but keep glancing in their direction, just waiting impatiently for the truck to be ready to accept orders. The menu itself just looks amazing. It's a step by step process: you choose your pasta, then your sauce, then your meat and toppings, so every dish is made specifically for the customer. When I finally got the chance to order, I went with the spaghetti with creamy tomato sauce, topped with spinach and sun roasted tomatoes. And it was DELICIOUS. There was just the right amount of veggies so as not to overpower the dish but not to leave me wishing I had more either. I also saw the spaghetti with meatballs, and the fettucine with pesto and sausage. Both looked absolutely delicious. While I live in the Sacramento area, I look forward to seeing this truck again. I'm one of those people that will go waaay out of my way for some good drinks and food, and I'm confident that I would drive for miles to visit this truck again. read more

Went to Sanfran for a quick vacation, my friends kept telling me about this food truck that it was a must to try, so we drove to el cerrito. I've always been a fan of pasta so I expect highly about this food truck. Well, gotta tell ya, they didn't disappoint! T'was the best alfredo I've eaten honestly. The pasta was so fresh, I love that it's homemade. The price, it was worth it. I couldn't help but slurp that pasta and have sauce all over my mouth. (not lady like lol) Also, a tip, try the George's spaghetti special, it's really great! You're gonna love it. The sauce screams perfection My friend Michelle tried it and instantly loved it, and she's on a strict low carb diet haha well you gotta have a cheat day and it was hers. I hope they have this foodtruck in Los Angeles too, (fingers crossed) Thanks for the great food ! read more

By far the best Italian food here in Reno. It's hard to find good places to eat here in Reno these days that have you wanting to come back for more, CosaNostra is one of those cases where they do everything right. The Fettuccine Alfredo is the best I've ever had at any Italian food establishment. Freshly made pasta with elegant Alfredo sauce that'll have you salivating with each bite. Their Arancini bites are a whole different animal, never in my life have I every had a fried cheese ball make me shed a tear with happiness. Unlike anything I've ever had in my life. If you want high quality food with exceptional customer service, look no further than CosaNostra. The exaggeration in this review is justified, you have to try them for yourself! read more

Absolutely outstanding food, freshly made ingredients and amazing customer service. Will eat here again !

I decided to try their pasta because of all the good reviews it had, and I for sure was not let down! I ordered the fettuccine pasta and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and rich in flavors the pasta was. It was restaurant quality food. The price is fair for the quality and portion you get. You will definitely be full and satisfied at the end and will probably still have some left overs to take home. I will be coming back for more! read more

Our cafeteria is down at work, so different food trucks take turns daily serving lunch. The Cosa Nostra Pasta Truck is one of the newer additions to our food truck lineup. Casa Nostra offers homemade pasta - you can build your own or try one of their menu options. The pasta is made to order. The food is awkwardly served in a to go container that unfortunately gets extremely damp the longer you wait to eat your food. The pasta is also pretty expensive for lunch. read more
