Well i am a cossetta employee and has been there for almost 2 years now and i have never witnessed any of those violating conserns. The cooks and prep people are constantly monitering our food. Checking dates and making sure everyting is at the right temperature. I eat food there EVERY DAY and im not dead yet so they must be doing something right. If i knew there was something wrong with the food i obviously wouldnt eat it. Beleive the rumors if you want but untill you work at cossetta's, then you shouldn't say anything.

I've enjoyed Cossetta's for 8+ years since I've lived in St. Paul, and I've never gotten sick, nor had any kind of bad experience at Cossetta's. It's one of my favorite St. Paul restaurants, point blank.

I am a huge fan of Cossetta's in St. Paul. The food is inexpensive, good and fast (you may want to avoid it if there is anything at all going on at the Excel, though, unless you like swimming through hordes of people). The mostaccioli is the best I've ever had. I am in love with their marinara sauce, which you can buy frozen. A lot of people rave about their pizza, but I've had better. I went there yesterday, food was its usually great quality, but the staff seemed apathetic. You could tell they would rather be someplace else. You could definitely find a worse place to drop about 10 bucks on a meal, though!

The sausage on the pizza is HOME-MADE! Wonderful! Plus, they sell it by the slice, if you want.

If you are ever in the Twin Cities, especially if you are headed to the Xcel Energy Center, this is the place to eat. It is served cafeteria style, so it is extremely fast, but that does not mean they go easy on the food. Pizza, pasta, and other classic Italian food that is absolutely incredible will not leave you disappointed. Especially good before and after Minnesota Wild games!

Growing up near Little Italy, I was a bit skeptical when I moved to the Cities and people I knew would rave about Cossetta's. I thought to myself "how good can it be??" But the first time I went into Cossetta's, my mouth was agape, and I was duly impressed. To begin with, their traditional Old World style decor, and adorable brick & wood work make it a very cozy and enjoyable place to spend an afternoon eating lunch. Though the second floor can get a bit crowded during meal times, it's always bustling and lively, and fun. Their authentic Italian deli, complete with an array of wonderful cheese's, meats and olives does not dissapoint either. Though the prices may be a bit high, you get what you pay for in quality. Their traditional Italian sausage, either cased or in bulk, is delicious, with just enough spice. And their restaurant, serving magnificent mostaccioli, pizza, sandwiches, lasagna, beer and more, is enough to keep a person going back weekly, just to try everything once. Cossetta's is worth the buzz!

I first visited Cossetta's within a few weeks of living in the Twin Cities Metro area. A friend took me there, promising that I would fall in love with the place. I did! It's so charming, from the autographed celebrity pictures to the traditional Italian deli. In addition, their restaurant truly is fabulous. Their house specialty, the mostaccoli, is absolutely to die for. Saucy and cheesy with just a little kick! Their breadsticks are out of this world, and the salads and sandwiches are perfect. The best thing about cossetta's is the convenience. It's the perfect place to swing by before a show, and it can be super-quick if you just want to grab a slice of pizza and a soda for the road. You absolutely will not be disappointed if you check out Cossetta's!
