I have been eating at Cossetta's for many years, the new building is beautiful and the food is still awesome. Last night we had an opportunity to try the new desserts at the Patissere. Most of the treats were delicious and the LaVazza coffee was outstanding. The atmosphere with the italian marble and the chandeliers was wonderful. The chocolate covered... More

The prices have gone up to support the new owners and the new building. It still is good food don't get me wrong. Its just not as good as it was when it was a family run business. The prices have gone way up as well.

I've given my honest and sad review on Louis, the restaurant at Cossetta's, but for all he did wrong there, Cossetta made up for it by hiring New York Italians who know their Italian pastry. I dream about sfogliatelle. I cannot find it anywhere. I've even ordered it, shipped overnight, from an Italian bakery in Canada. Nothing compares to its... More

Love the cafeteria style. Huge selection of food and variety. The kids love it, energetic and lively. The new remodel adds a ton of room. If you are downtown St. Paul and you get a chance, you have to stop in for a cannoli!!

I've always loved going to Cossetta's, and their recent remodeling and expansion project makes it even better. Our recent visit was on a weeknight, so it wasn't very busy, but it is easy to see that there is now room to accomodate the crowds of an event night more comfortably. The market has more space to offer old favorites and... More

After living in Italy for 3 years, I have come accustomed to being somewhat dissappointed in so-called authentic Italian restaurants. Well, certain elements of the new and improved Cossetta transferred me back. Although the food is still the same (good but not great pastas and above average pizza) the expanded Italian market and the new cafe are amazing. Everything from... More

Pizza is consistently delicious and the tiramisu is one of my favorites. I am not usually a fan of buffet type / ala carte, however, for this pizza I will always make an exception. The market has a lot of unique items and delicious coffee.

Regional food fresh, great ingredients. Popular entree's (mostacolli, lasagna, sausage and peppers, chicken cacciatore), and a few others are constants on the blackboard. Sandwiches with decent Italian salami and provolone cheese. All good choices. Only issue for me is too much sauce on the entrée. Ask for less, or on the side. Salads are large and easily shared by 2.... More

This pizza used to be great. Now it's maybe just o.k. - and for $25 with 2 ingredients it's really subpar - very sad. Cassetta's used to be THE place for New York style pizza. Not anymore. The pizza has too much sauce - too little cheese - and very little ingredients. We will never order it again. We just... More

Cossetta's is a must visit place if you're in downtown St. Paul and crave Italian food. Their pizza slices are huge and satisfying, although their pasta dishes are my favorite (mostaccioli con ricotta-- YUM!). Excellent salads made while you wait. Be sure to give yourself enough time to visit the wonderful deli for all your pasta/sauce/meat/bread needs. They recently renovated... More
