Hearty meat dishes and tasty pasta take the stage at Cotenna. This cozy Italian restaurant serves an extensive menu that includes seafood dishes, grilled meat and traditional pasta favorites like spaghetti and meatballs. Diners get to enjoy their meal in a cozy interior complemented by wood paneling, dim overhead lamps and walls lined with wine bottles. Chef Roberto Passon ensures the richness of each dish by insisting on only using pasta made in-house.

Cotenna offers a fine selection of wine to pair with its menu. Its simple but casual ambiance makes it an ideal pick for everything, from a mid-week business lunch, to a group outing with friends. Open until midnight during the week, and 1 a.m. over the weekend, this restaurant is also an appealing choice for late night dining. Cotenna is open all week.

    The food was excellent! The goat cheese appetizer is truly fantastic! We had a party of 12 people and all of us were impressed by the food and the quality of service.

    I don’t get the high food ratings for this place. The place is cute, but a wee bit too tight as others suggest, but the food was an average. It is not overpriced which is a positive. I wonder what the those with best Italian food ever with 5 stars are thinking. I must have been at the wrong place. I need to have an OMG food experience to give 5 stars. This was not OMG. It’s a 3-1/2, maybe 3-3/4. But, I couldn’t give a 4 for food as it didn’t reach that level. I agree with the other reviewer on the vongole. Not enough clams. The overall flavor was pretty weak. I usually avoid reviews. If you are reading this at Cotenna, please take it in the seriousness it was written. I think you can do better.

    Nice and cozy place. Fair price. Food standard or below. Service (Etna) was very good. I would expected much more for a Michelin recommended restaurant. Besides the company, a forgettable experience!

    Fast, pleasant service. Solid pastas, appetizers, and contorni. Good selection of wine by the glass and standard cocktails (standard meant in a good way.) Good value.
