If you're looking to get out of Minneapolis then go check out her sister St. Paul. RUN don't walk over to Cossettas Italian food for a bite! This place will engulf you with its aroma and you will be brought right back to the early days of when Mr Hill himself probably used to dine here. (its been around since 1911)Venture around the staircase, grab a tray and get ready to rumble! You will find a VERY large menu board with tons of stuff to choose from. They have killer monthly specials and the food is VERY Reasonable! I went for an Entree, the Lasagna Al Forno which came with Mostaccioli con ricotta and Garlic bread for 8.99 it looked way too good to walk away from. So as I worked my way down the tray line I saw about 7 people working and prepping the food they were tossing dough for pizza... wait? Pizza? Yup you can get it by the slice so.I went hog wild and got a slice of Pepperoni Pizza for 3.65 and noticed a filled to the BRIM Cannoli for 3.65 AND a Ice Cold Bottle of GrainBelt Beer for 3.61. So my buddy and I worked our way upstairs with our food which smelled so dang good I couldnt help but take a bite out of my pizza on the way up the stairs.. that crust is amazing.. soft yet crunchy its gotta be all in the tossing! YUM! So i worked my way into my Lasagna like a kid opening a gift at Christmas first slow then like a wild animal. The garlic bread was freaking awesome. full of garlic, warm and cooked just right.. I started forking my Mostaccioli and it was amazing.. I almost went downstairs to get more but then remembered I had this pizza slice the size of my plate so I attacked that pizza which went well with the ice cold GrainBelt and then onto my favorite part.. dessert.. That Cannolli was HEAVEN Full full FULL of Mascarpone Cheese filling and the pastry crust was perfection... I was sad to see it go. And I was sad TO leave.. I will definatly be back to this amazing place. Dorothys mom Sophia would have been dang proud! See Bart aren't you glad you went?
Pros: You get what you pay for! Heck of a lot of food!
Cons: No Tabasco.. I like everything spicy. Thats about it though :)
