    Entrance to the grocery store
    Tippy P.

    I was in St. Paul for a wedding expo and decided to stop by Cossettas for some desserts. I was surprised how busy the place is. One side is a bakery and grocery store. The otherside is an eatery, they have a foodhall layout. Starting with desserts, lite bites, salad, then moving onto pizzas and pastas. Dining room is available on the first level or upstairs. Very cool place.

    Nice place to check out if you want to try something a bit different. There is an Italian market to buy supplies to cook with or prepared foods to cook or warm up. Lots of dessert options from gelato to tiramisu, cannolis to cakes and cookies. Ambiance is traditional. Multi level establishment. Would love to experience more friendly staff. Every time I come here, staff seems stressed or unhappy.... could be friendlier. Food is good. Lots of variety.

    Arancini

    I've tried Cossetta's food so many times. I feel like I keep giving it one more chance. Their food is so salty I find it inedible. I've had Arancini in Italy, this is nothing like what I've had. Too bready. The veal parmigiana was disappointing. It was like a thin piece of tenderized leather. You can't tip with your credit card, I at least wanted to give the workers something for trying. I love their grocery store. So many authentic Italian ingredients.

    Always love the variety, service is always fast, not super friendly but they get the job done. The sherbet is always refreshing and delicious. Not a ton go great seating downstairs but plenty upstairs. Nice old school feel when you are inside the building.

    Tortellini Alla Panna- you can get this with prosciutto bits. So creamy, garlicky and delicious!!

    I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Parking can be a bit tricky during peak times but they do have a parking lot. Otherwise there are close parking ramps. There is a dessert shop(not to be missed) an area for salads, sandwiches, pasta and pizza. Over the years I have had it all! My favorite is the tortellini! It is so creamy, garlicky and just perfect for dipping bread! You can get it with prosciutto bits for a little extra flavor and texture! The service here, in my opinion has gone down. No one smiles, they rush you at times or just seem genuinely annoyed. While I was there, the person who plated my food was very hard to understand and seemed angry. There is a ton of seating here. I would recommend going upstairs and if it's a nice day, sit outside on their balconies! Overall this is a great staple in St Paul and absolutely worth going to!

    Cossetta Alimentari is the best casual dining spot in Saint Paul. It is always busy and you will know why once you try their food! The line can take a while but the food is worth the wait. I really like their Caesar salad and mostaccolli con ricotta. The salad is always crisp and the dressing is tangy. It is pretty garlicky so you may want a mint after. The mostaccolli con ricotta is the star of the show! The sauce tastes like your grandma made it with love. It is a perfect pair with the cheesy ricotta. Their meatballs also make a delicious addition to your entree as they are thick but not overly bready. If you dont have time to wait in the hot food line you can pick up some cold options in their grocery store. They have refrigerated versions of the hot food they serve so you can grab and go. This store is also fully stocked with fresh ingredients so you can cook an Italian meal at home. To finish off your meal make sure you pick up a chocolate covered cannoli! They are crunchy, chocolatey and so creamy. Absolutely delicious!

    Italian Hero
    Dan A.

    Met a friend for lunch here on a Sunday. Arrived around 1 and semi-busy. Parking was easy as there is a lot in front of the restaurant. Sizable dining area with two levels and another restaurant (Louis) on the third level-also has a market/grocery. A great variety with Pasta, pizza slices, deli sandwiches, Fritti and entrees from Lasagna to Veal/Chicken Parmigiana to name a few. Ordering is cafeteria style. We ordered an Italian Hero and a Mostacelli Con Ricotta with a Meatball side. The Hero is made to order and was massive. Softer Sub roll filled with various cold cuts and cheese-enjoyed it. Mostacelli was also tasty and a good sized portion. A guy behind me ordered an Italian Beef (Chicago style) Sub which sounded really good -next time. Service at the sandwich counter was quick and engaged. Didn't have room for dessert but their options were tempting.

    We finally made it to Cossetta's while in Saint Paul for a conference, and it definitely lived up to the hype. From the moment you walk in, the smell hits you,freshly baked pizza, rotisserie chicken, pastries...all of it. Cossetta's has everything in one spot. A grab-and-go deli, bakery, Italian market, and full restaurant upstairs. We stayed on the main floor and started with pizza. The slices were huge, loaded with sausage and olives, and topped with rich whole milk mozzarella. Super fresh and flavorful. The staff was helpful and happy to share their favorites. Next stop was the bakery. We grabbed macarons, occhi cookies, and some gelato. The tiramisu gelato was a hit, and my wife loved the almond flavor. The occhi cookies weren't my favorite, but the kids enjoyed them. Overall, Cossetta's is a must when we're in downtown Saint Paul. They are definitely going on our regular list.

    This restaurant is pure awesome. The Italian pasta is really good, however the pizza is ok, I had better ones with sourdough crust. You order food and drink on the first floor and go to second floor to eat, self serve. There is a bar on the second floor if you need adult drink. The grocery store has a great selection of Italian food, especially Venchi and Bachi chocolate. The dessert shop is such a delightful place, they make good dessert affordable. Get the sfogliatella(lobster tail), omg it is so crunchy. Macaroon is just right, not too sweet. Napoleon is A+. If you never have fresh cannoli before, get them here. They put the cream in the cannoli when you order it. Omg, it is way better than those premade ones with hard icing/cream. This place deserves 5 stars, I will return for sure. The bakery can easily fit in any five-star hotel. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Service: 5/5

    Classic spot in st. Paul and glad to see it's still doing well as it was pretty busy on a Tuesday night. Since it was so nice we got to sit on the outdoor upstairs patio. You order cafeteria style downstairs and pay in the center of the cafeteria where you can also get drinks. I got 1/2 lb of chilled fusilli chicken pasta (Fusilli pasta with chicken breast, red onions, scallions, carrots, black olives, asparagus, red peppers, feta cheese, and parsley in a garlic basil vinaigrette), fruit cup, tiramisu and a glass of red wine for $30 after tax which seems pretty high. The pasta was great. Good variety of ingredients and wasn't overly salty. The tiramisu was very coffee forward although I would have liked the mascarpone a little creamier. Fruit was fresh and I was able to get a cup with cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon and pineapple.

    We came here around 3 o'clock on a Saturday after the wild game, it wasn't too busy and we got through the line pretty quickly! Our food was delicious, and service was very fast. It was more than enough food to take home to go, and the price was phenomenal. We went back to the line to get more food to take home, and the line moved quickly again! I would say it does get pretty busy closer to those mealtime hours, but as long as you go out a odd hour, it shouldn't be too bad!

    Popped into Cossetta for "just a little dessert" after lunch across the street... and left with an entire pistachio cake and some. Oops! We wandered around like kids in a candy store, sampling dreamy gelato (seriously, so good), drooling over the displays, and eventually grabbing a chocolate chip cookie (can't go wrong), a cookies & cream cupcake, a slice of carrot cake, and yes--that full pistachio cake we absolutely needed today. Even on this busy Saturday, the gentleman helping us was super friendly and helpful. This place is dessert (and food) heaven, and totally worth the sugar rush! Nice little cafeteria like spot to grab food or in our case dessert, so many options. They also have a market so be sure to take a look in there.

    Panettone

    Came in to purchase panettone after the baker won an award. It truly is well made panettone. So buttery and melt in your mouth delicious.

    Great location for people visiting Park Square Theatre…read more They don't do half and half of their specialty pizzas so you just have to build your own from scratch. Another way to charge more. We split a pizza and that was fine. It was good pizza with generous toppings. Service was good too. For dessert we went around the corner to Candyland.

    Cool place! Tales of their pizza from their previous ventures have lingered for years, but I've…read morenever tried their food until they opened this full bar & restaurant on West Seventh Place. The location is convenient for people attending downtown events, although when events like that are going on and you just want to park somewhere and try their food, that parking can be challenging. Detroit-style pizza is unique. It comes in thick rectangular slabs, and the crust is unusually airy. They have interesting concoctions to try, incorporating different types of peppers as well as whipped honey and pineapple relish. For my first visit, I got a cacio e pepe pizza, which had actual noodles on it that were surprisingly cool. The second time I came, I had a single slice with pepperoni & sausage, and I can confirm that I really like their pizza. When it comes to pizza, my preference is normally for either Neopolitan or New York style, but these squares are tasty and satisfying to eat. I also got "Pizza Rowls", which I loved. With that entree, you get three long things that look like big egg rolls but are stuffed with tons of creamy cheese, sauce, and meat. It also comes with an arugula salad. It all tasted great. They have very friendly service, although I was forced to sit at the bar this last time because of the crowds. I don't like bar seating and in hindsight it seemed like I would have had a table if I'd just waited a few minutes instead of the half-hour I was told to expect. They're new at the moment so they might still be figuring out their flow; they have plenty of tables so you'll probably generally not have an issue there. They have a special Sunday brunch menu that is intriguing as well. You should totally try them out!

We came in before the dinner rush with nearly nobody in store and ordered at the counter. I was shocked to see the pizza price, but then learned that they are Sicilian pan pizza: they serve 2-4 people and are quite dense and large. Know that going in! We started with the Garlic Cheese Bread Donuts because Yelpers recommended them - those were the star! Super unique and gooey. We would have much preferred marinara dipping sauce with them instead of the white sauce. We got wings to share: dry rub that were good and classic. We ate these two starters as we waited for the pizza: it took a bit longer than we'd expected since the shop was nearly empty. Here's where we went wrong: my husband ordered the 4 cheese pizza, add pepperoni. The amount of ricotta on the top of each slice was...inedible. It was more ricotta than enjoyable, and we ended up scraping off 90% of it. The other elements of the pizza were great, but wouldn't recommend the 4 cheese or any ricotta-heavy pizzas. I'm sure if we got a different one we'd have loved it! Ambiance is very chill, especially being so close to campus. It's got a vintage, retro feel with a vintage game machine and some fun decor.
