    PROs- 5 star location, food, service , price CONs- parking ! I rarely give a 5 star and this one deserves it . Went for a bday eve and it was really good . Location is good . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Parking is a bit crazy . We had to park a couple of blocks away and take a 5-7 min walk. Parking is generally free after 6 pm . Even if not it's too expensive. About 50 cents for 30 mins . Service was good . They give bread and butter to start with and it was fresh . My kids had pasta .. really awesome ! We also tried pizza and it was tasty. Lots of veggie options . I had Panzenalla salad . very fresh and nice proteins .. five cheese ziti was super good . Mozzy garlic bread was so good . To end it tiramisu .. I actually didn't like it much . It was ok. It was still a very good experience.. kudos to the whole team .

    Signature Parmigiana

    Every dish is delicious. Appetizers and entrees alike. Big open space that can accommodate large groups. Signature chicken parm is a spin on the classic but with vodka sauce.

    Good thing we went early for dinner on Saturday night. Got very busy around 7. Service was great! Food was very good and nice size portion. It's a BYOB

    I hadn't been to Cosimo's since I was in high school. It has remained great. Incredible personal sized pizzas.

    Solid birthday dinner for a friend - we were a party of 15 and the service was very nice and they did their best! Restaurant was pretty packed on a Saturday night, which was nice to see! They have a pretty extensive menu- people ordered calamari, pizza, chicken parm, pastas and salads. I tried the caesar salad, Chicken Francaise and the Shrimp and Broccoli. Both were okay- the side of mashed potatoes were no good? Idk why. It had a burnt/plastic taste. Overall food was okay and the ambience and service was nice!

    Our first time in Westfield to meet up with people at Yestercades and decided to stop into this restaurant. It wa a cozy establishment that was dim lit with a welcoming atmosphere. Now I am very observant of cleanliness in a place and I have to say, I was thorough impressed that with all the chandeliers and fixtures on the ceiling...everything was dusted! No three inches of dust or hanging bunnies which is more common than you think. Anyway, we ordered two pizzas, a plain cheese and one with garlic and onion. Both were pretty good. I enjoyed the sauce as it was something on the sweeter side. The pasta Fagoli soup we order was average. The cappuccino was pretty yummy, I did enjoy that ending to the meal. The service was bare minimum. Our plates never got cleared and only as things came out, there were kind of Tetris-styled around everything. We had to constantly request refills and the check took about 35 minutes after we asked for it.

    Made reservations for a party of 6 food was good bread was amazing. This is a BYOB and if you come after 6 parking is free. Parking can be hard to find on the street but there is a parking lot near Trader Joe's. The only thing I can say bad about this place is the wait staff seemed to be on vacation. It was hard to get someone's attention for anything. Cute place and ambiance is nice.

    jumbo Shrimp Scampi

    Went last night with a friend on a very spontaneous night out. BYOB so we brought our own bottle of wine. We were instantly sat and our waiter was very nice. I found it strange we weren't given water right away. We were given bread but with 2 tiny butter packs. I ordered the jumbo shrimp scampi over linguine and my friend ordered a salmon pasta dish over penne. Was flavorful and i understand pasta should be cooked "al dents" but my linguine was VERY chewy. Nice atmosphere but I wasn't sold. Would try again.

    Cosimo's never disappoints, I always enjoy the Italian cuisine here. The penne vodka is a favorite of mine.

    First time trying this establishment I recommend going early on a Friday or Saturday night because it does get super packed around 7 PM. We all enjoyed our dinners. The portions are a nice size as well. Our waiter was a hoot. We even gave him one of our cannolis, we were there celebrating a birthday. I have some pictures of the food everything tasted fresh and delicious your dinners come with a pasta or a salad.

    Margherita pizza (with extra cheese)

    Cosimo's is a favorite spot among my friends and family for a nice dinner out or a casual pizza night. The inside of the restaurant is fairly large so it's a good spot for groups, and they also have outdoor seating on East Broad Street which is great for people-watching. It's BYOB, which is always a plus! The prices are higher than other Italian restaurants in the area, but consistent with Westfield prices. We regularly get the Margherita Pizza or Grandma's Pizza (usually with extra cheese) and both are really good. You can't go wrong with their Chicken Parm, and all the entrees are large and come with pasta and a salad or vegetable. For dessert, I love their cannolis! They usually have a lot of interesting appetizers and entrees on their specials list, so we often mix it up depending on what sounds good, and sometimes it can be hit or miss. On a recent visit, my parents got different seafood specials with scallops, and while my Mom's dish was out of this world, my Dad's dinner was disappointing. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful, so they can usually steer you in the right direction if you have questions about any of the specials.

    I haven't been to Fiamma Wood Fire Pizza in Westfield for a long time. I was really craving their…read morebaby spinach salad, so I decided to go and enjoy it. I went on a Monday night, so it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. We ordered the baby spinach salad, calamari, and penne vodka. I liked all the food, but the salad had too much dressing. That was my fault because I didn't ask for less. Overall, our server was very nice and we enjoyed our meal.

    I visited Fiamma Wood Fired Pizza recently with a friend for what we hoped would be a satisfying,…read morequick bite. While the company was great, the restaurant itself left much to be desired, resulting in a decidedly average experience that I'm rounding up from 2.5 to 3 stars purely for the enjoyable evening with my friend. Walking in, the first thing we noticed was how cramped the dining area felt. Tables are placed quite close together, which can make for a noisy and somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere. Our initial table hadn't been wiped down from the previous guests, which was an immediate red flag. We quickly moved to a clean table ourselves. Service was sporadic; our server was prompt in taking our drink and food orders but then seemed to disappear. We weren't checked on after our meals arrived, and getting a refill on water or the check required catching someone's eye. It felt very transactional. A major heads-up for future diners is that Fiamma is a BYOB establishment, as their on-site drink options are limited to water and sodas. I highly recommend bringing your favorite wine or beer to complement the meal. Unfortunately, the food was a mixed bag. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which was underwhelming. The main issue was a serious lack of seasoning beyond a heavy hand with the salt, and the calamari itself didn't taste fresh; it had a slightly rubbery texture. I ended up eating only a few pieces and left the rest. For my entrée, I had the Gamberoni Scampi. This was a step up but still had its flaws. On the positive side, the linguini was well-cooked, and there was a generous amount of shrimp. The biggest issue was the sheer volume of pasta; it was an immense portion that overwhelmed the other components. I ate about 30% of the pasta and all the shrimp, but it felt wasteful. The dish was decent, but not compelling enough to make me want to tackle such a huge portion again. Based on this visit alone, my experience was a little subpar. Between the cramped space, inattentive service, and underwhelming food, Fiamma didn't live up to its potential. However, the meal was a firm reminder that good company can elevate any experience. The name of the place is "Wood Fired Pizza," and I clearly made a mistake by not ordering their signature item. I'm willing to give Fiamma another chance solely to try the pizza. For now, my recommendation is, if you come, bring your own drinks, maybe skip the appetizers, and definitely order the pizza.

We decided it was worth the gamble, and boy did we hit the jackpot. We loved the BYOB option, proudly flaunting local beers while most tables had a bougie bin of ice helping to chill their wines. As we sipped on our own version of bubbly, we started with a couple of delicious appetizers - meatballs and fried burrata. While both were great, the meatballs were the clear winner, served hot in a small cast iron skillet. Moving to the main course, the pasta ragu was another hit. It had a bit of a peppery undertone, but wasn't spicy, just a wonderful blend of spices that gave it a unique flavor. For dessert, I had an apple-based dish that was a special that night. While again another creative showing, I think I'd stick to some of the simpler options on the menu (like a Caramelized banana split - YES PLEASE)

For dinner, tried the shrimp rigatoni (ridiculously good) and the ribeye. Steak was good, I just didn't love the sauce. It wasn't bad, I just prefer my steaks seasoned but dry with a lil char and full of flavor inside. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it. Staff provided great service and the new location is in a great spot, well designed, great ambiance, much bigger and pretty easy to find parking. If you haven't been to Jessica's, it's a must do. This gem that was relatively under the radar for years, is now being discovered. But the quality and consistency remains.
