| - I've only been here for lunch, and only on days when I don't have a lot to do afterwards. Perhaps because of the way that I order, but I always end up leaving stuffed. I generally go for the pasta (like penne, but I can't remember the name) with the tomato cream sauce, sausage, and peas. It's soooooo good, but filling. The salads and bread have always hit the spot too. It's just basic, fresh, satisfying Italian food at a reasonable price. I think the management of Coco Osteria also runs Luca, a pricier Italian option close by, but I've actually enjoyed my meals more at Coco. Also, this isn't an Itialian place like Mama Ricotta's -- no family style; it's much more like a bistro.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's open and has so many windows that it's always bright during the day and you can people-watch the lunch crowd outside. They also have a small outdoor seating area for when it's nice out. If you're craving Italian uptown, check out Coco Osterio, I bet it'll hit the spot.
