| - We had just got out of Cirque du Soleil
Looking for a place for dinner at almost 9pm. First we thought Japanese, but I'm sorry to say that after being seated for ten minutes and not being offered a drink we got up and left, then we say Osteria Costa. Although we love Italian food, we normally don't eat it out, preferring to try food we don't cook so much at home.
What a delight Osteria Costa is! Firstly, all the staff were extremely attentive and friendly - we didn't wait more than 30 seconds before we had water and menus. Jen, our lovely waitress brought us some delicious (although a little expensive ) wine selections & explained the menu to us.
We decided to share appetizer, salad, entree & dessert 'family style'. Everything was delicious, from the creamy burrata, the crusty bread, garlicky pesto, shaved Parmesan on the arugula salad to the perfectly prepared Branzino. And not a bone in sight on the whole fish dish. We topped it off with the 'famous' olive oil cake - which was so good, not too sweet an end to a fantastically fine meal - Italian done right (not a red sauce in sight) - I'm making that olive oil cake this weekend!! Thank you
