   Salads, pasta entree and chocolate cake dessert were good, but chicken and fish entrees and cheesecake dessert were overcooked and dry. The back room is loud, but the front room has nice ambiance. On a previous quieter night we had very good chicken and fish entrees.

   My husband and I ate at Costa with friends, another couple, and very much enjoyed our food. It’s great to be able to eat in a NY restaurant where you can actually hear each other speaking without having to scream at each other. Unfortunately, the restaurant charges a 3 percent surcharge for credit card users. That left a bad taste in my mouth.

   Very nice and pretty neighborhood restaurant. The food is very good. I prefer the front room, close to the bar, because I think one gets better service there and it's prettier. The back is nice if you want a quiet place, but the service there is less good. They don't see the guests there as easily.

   I recently had the pleasure of dining at Costa, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and a stylish, modern décor that created a perfect atmosphere for a relaxed evening. I started with the tuna fig salad, which was a delightfully fresh and flavorful combination of ingredients. The presentation was beautiful, and each bite was a perfect balance of taste and texture. For the main course, I chose the steak frittes, and it was simply outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned exquisitely. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout the meal without being intrusive. To finish off, the tiramisu was a revelation! It was the perfect sweet note to end the evening, with just the right amount of indulgence and finesse. Overall, Costa exceeded my expectations. The food, atmosphere, and service combined to make this one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal!
