Italian is done 'like this' at Cosi.

 Cosi means "like this" in Italian.

I have found our very own little taste of Italy in Brisbane. Move over fasta pasta and pizza capers an authentic Italian resturant has moved in & its a hidden gem.

 Cosi is a family run quaint italian restaurant with a crazy mustached chef that looks scary but definately creates delicious meals ! we have always joked we would find some mustache hairs in our food... dont worry, we havent!!


OH YES, THE FOOD! Quite fittingly I will start by mentioning the starters... (haha). The garlic pizza bread is a great start but do not eat too and much because there is pasta and pizza to follow!!




The mains!! this authentic Italian menu boasts many different types of pasta from Ravioli, Tortellini, Fettucine, Spaghetti, Gnocchi, Linguine and Lasangne!! The amazing sauces that are on offer and definately worth a mention are the Marinara ( Tomato and seafood sauce) my favourite - the Pesto & Pine nut Linguine and my boyfriend's favorite is the chilli laced
I love pesto !


Amatriciana Sauce! They do a serve a mentionable Bolegnaise sauce but I am loyal only to my mothers homemade sauce !




Mains are about $21-$35, more pricey Steak and Veal dishes also available! But if you are dining here I urge you to try the pasta and their original and Authentic flavours!
The service has ranged from great to not so great- this just depends on what waitress you end up with. But the owner is a lovelylady who will always make you feel at home.

Melon and Dorito rate this hidden gem a 7/10, the service could be consistently better then the rating would rise considerably. Otherwise flavors and ambience are excellent.

Love Melon.
