Every single dish was just delicious, from the prawns and bruschetta appetizers to the Rizotto and ravioli mains, to the truly scrumptious cheesecake and chocolate cake. Lastly, the Service was top notch and friendly. In addition the ambience was so charming my wife and I want to do a return trip for a date night.

Very cute restaurant. Nice Italian village restaurant vibe. Right across from the Country Store…read more Google said they were closing at 8pm, when we walked in at 7:15 and I asked the bartender if they're closing at 8pm, they didn't seem to have a clue. They seat us, and tons more people came in after. They didn't close at 8pm. So I'm not sure what time their true closing time is. The waitress seemed to be confused at which tables were theirs. We had multiple waitresses come by telling us they'll be with us in a minute, then didn't show up again. We felt a bit ignored and passed off. Food, the good, pastas. The bad, bread. Their fresh bread was dense and dry. We ordered the garlic cheese bread which the waitress recommended. It was on the same dry bread, topped with some butter, didn't taste any garlic. And then loaded with mozzarella cheese. Pretty bland for what it was. Not worth the cost. Not worth the calories. My husband ordered the Italiano pizza, it was fine, nothing to rave about. My daughter ordered the kids wagyu steak, she ordered medium cooked and wanted some pink. Initially she ordered Medium rare and the waitress suggested to go medium as the chef tends to under cook. It was dry as a brick. Terrible. We should have returned the steak, but my daughter was too hungry. The pastas were amazing. I ordered the linguini con carne with mixed cream and red sauce. This was amazing. I would go back just for this. The sunriver area is super cute but not a lot of options. If you're looking for pasta, this is a nice place.

I always feel ill if I eat gluten/flour from the states, but never when I travel to Italy. I could eat anything I wanted here and not only do I not feel ill after eating it, it taste so good! I've had a lot of authentic Italian in Italy and this reminds me of that. Their wine selection is great. I don't flush or get a headache after I drink their wine. It's truly authentic Italian wine and not mass produced Italian wine for the states. We had our fur child with us so we sat outside on the patio, which was a lovely ambience and were plenty warm. The desserts were delicious and I'm still dreaming about their limoncello. I'm very picky and theirs is some of the best I've ever had. Our waiter Michael was very knowledgeable and kind. Absolutely priced fairly (if you are paying attention to what's going on in this country).

Everything we ordered tasted good, and the house bread was especially delicious. The service was also wonderful -- attentive, friendly, and never felt rushed. That said, I left feeling like the food didn't quite live up to the price point for me. Nothing was bad by any means, but I wouldn't say anything was exceptional enough to justify the cost compared to some of my personal favorite spots in Bend that offer a similar quality of food for quite a bit less and larger quantity. The daily soup was probably the biggest disappointment. I ordered a cup and it was essentially broth with only a few longer noodles -- there were maybe three noodles total. I expected a little more substance. Overall, I'm glad I tried it and can definitely see why people enjoy this restaurant. The food was flavorful, the bread was great, and the service was excellent. 10/10 hot water service

I brought this to the attention of both our server and the manager, but rather than acknowledging that something may have gone wrong in the preparation, they were adamant that it was intentional. Having worked in the food industry for more than 10 years, I have never encountered this presented as a deliberate preparation technique. Mistakes can happen, and I would have been completely understanding had they simply acknowledged the issue. Unfortunately, the insistence that this was intentional turned what could have been a minor kitchen error into a disappointing end to an otherwise pleasant dinner.

It was served in a bolognese sauce, which was also scrumptious. Our server Alise was very nice and came multiple times to see how we were doing. She was very helpful.

I brought back the dish, only to be argued with about how they cook their noodles al dente. . I decided to try another dish, but the woman behind the counter said, "well, I tasted your noodles and they are fine". For one..... why would you try someone else's returned noodles, for two, she was either a liar that she tasted my noodles, or that she just wanted to make a point. Returned the buzzer and left. I literally had to chew them and they got stuck in my teeth. I understand what al dente is. All in all. Lost for words. They supposedly make "fresh" pasta, but how do you undercook fresh pasta? They advertise fresh pasta. The undercooked "chew" only comes from non-fresh pasta that has been dried. Jeez. Talking to someone who cooks here. Word of advice, listen to your customers and you will grow as a business.

We stopped by after school and tried the 12-layer lasagna (incredible), the chopped beef sando (my favorite), and the zeppole donuts (the kids destroyed them -- sugar everywhere, totally worth it). Every dish was spot-on. You can tell everything is made with care, from the sauces to the fresh pasta. The specials are always creative and worth checking out. Service is quick, and the team is friendly even when it's busy. COTTO is a standout at The Podski -- great food, local vibe, and a perfect spot to grab a drink and a bite outdoors. Definitely one of my go-tos in Bend.
