Cozzo is a busy, casual neighborhood dinner spot for traditional Italian meals. They have a full selection of pizzas and pastas, as well as risottos and antipasti. The personal-sized pizzas are very thin and the crusts looked amazing.
I ordered the melanzane (eggplant) appetizer as well as a green salad, and they were nicely executed. The melanzane was clearly baked to perfection, with lots of melted parmesan flowing everywhere on top of the eggplant / tomato sauce / basil + herbs. It was a croud favorite. The salad was also a nice basic salad.
For my main course, I tried the lasagne bolognese, which to be honest was a bit redundant with the melanzane (my fault), but I felt like melty cheese dishes and that's what I got! The pasta in the bolognese was elegantly thin and there were many, many layers of bolognese and mozzarella, all covered in tomato sauce and melted cheese and finished with parmesan and crushed peppercorns.
Service was pretty good... We were able to get our drinks before each course and the evening progressed from one course to the next without frustration. read more
