After a bad experience a few years ago, I knew I had to go back and I'm glad I did. Stopped in for Sunday Brunch and it was such a nice experience. Food was so good. There were 3 of us and all 3 meals were good. Mushroom Omelet- Three Egg omelet with Mushrooms & Parmesan. Served with hot crunchy French fries and a salad. French Toast- 2 thick over sized slices of bread cooked with a nice crust on the outside and topped with fresh strawberries and hot maple syrup....yum! Meatball Panini- Wood fired Panini stuffed with Meatballs, Mozzarella, and Cottas goodTomato Sauce. Great menu. Brunch served Saturday and Sunday 11-3:30. Prices are reasonable and service was very good.

Met old friends here for a wonderful Sunday evening dinner reunion. We sat at one of the high top rectangular tables in main bar area. Two had pastas (pappardelle with bolognese and spaghetti with clams.) One had the great chicken. I had the pizza with spinach, olives, peppers. All the food was excellent. Nice cocktails and wine options. Service was perfect too. Had a great evening and experience. And the weather was lovely. Great early start to summer!

This is such a cute restaurant! I came here with some friends for dinner and we had a really nice time. I ordered the orecchiette which was good but I kinda ended up regretting simply because I got tired of it after my first few bites. This dish would've been better if it had more complexity or was less homogeneous. Everything was all one flavor is that made sense, it would've been good paired with something like blackened salmon I think. One of my friends got the lasagna which was actually incredible! I highlyyy recommend. The baked ricotta was fine but nothing special and the chocolate cake was good but would've been better served warm and with some more strawberries since it really brought out a nice taste in the chocolate. The service was good, definitely a good date night spot.

Mama Mia! It's hard to ever stumble on a place that creates a food that becomes "the best I ever had". But Osteria Cotta succeeded in doing just that. We went Italian for dinner & were warmly greeted & shown to a beautiful corner of the restaurant's upstairs. Our table's location had beautiful ambiance & serenity amid the hustle & bustle of NYC. I chose lasagna as my entree, & I gladly proclaim it from the mountain tops...this was the best lasagna I've ever had!! It was large & light at the same time. There was a thin layer of veal, layers of delicate pasta, a thick layer of whipped & airy ricotta, abundant seasonings, &...the deepest, richest, most flavorful, tomatoey sauce I've ever had. This dish was outstanding!

The ambiance is very nice. Love the bar area. Really enjoyed happy hour and love that they have the personal size pizzas options. We had the meatball pizza. Wish it was more saucy. But overall still good. We loved the rosemary wings. They tasted very good and grilled great. The pasta Pappardelle was tasteful and my bf enjoyed it. The service was great. She was very attentive and always checked in.

Food was fantastic and the service was great. Be warned, MUST have a reservation if going during peak hours, this is a very small restaurant and seating is incredibly limited. The tables can also be shared with other parties depending on which table you are sat. We ordered the calamari, penne vodka, truffle fries and a margarita pizza. The fries were absolutely to die for. Would absolutely go back.

Great space! Has outdoor seating, semi outdoor seating, indoor dining and a bar! We went on a particularly nice day and the vibes were great! Service was quick even though there were so many people, everyone was attentive, and the food was delicious! If you've been to Ainslie Bowery, this is the same brand and the same food. Eggs in purgatory is always my favorite. The tartness of the tomato with the polenta is just perfection. I personally enjoy the white sangria much more than the mimosas but both were ordered for the table and $28 for unlimited is just unbeatable in the city!

Wow! This place is great and totally unexpected from the exterior! It seems super small from the entrance and reception/bar area but has sooo much seating on the top floor and in the back! We had reservations on a chilly Friday night and it was packed! I loved the decor and lighting and overall ambiance inside. The downstairs and bar area is definitely very hectic and too crowded to sit, but the upstairs is really nice. We got the veggie pizza, pesto pasta, and beets & truffle fries. Probably not the best order, but nonetheless the food was average, unfortunately. The pizza was limp and soggy. The pasta was super good and flavorful. I wish there was a little more spice or I had asked for chili flakes. The beets were unique and tasty. The fries could've been crispier but the truffle was clear. The food wasn't very impressive, but with a better order of the classics would have put is in a better place. The food is also not too expensive and not overly filling. I would definitely come back, but not sure if I would recommend to someone looking for great Italian food.
