Best Casual Restaurants in East Morrisania

Loved the food , dj, ambience. Always enjoy my outing

I booked this place for dinner as it was near a clasical music performance my partner and I were attending with my mother. From the start the place was perfect. Excellent friendly and attentive staff, high-quality food, and a really warm and fun atmosphere. It was so nice to eat at a restaurant that was busy but not at all loud. We’ll definitely be back.

First time at Costa - as a transformed establishment (it used to be a diffrent restaurant with a "speak easy bar" behind a panel. I believe they combined under common ownership with the italian restaurant next door. New menu is broad (combo of Middle Eastern/Mediteranian and Italizn (see restaurant combo comment above). It is well priced for the area (middle of the road with $17-$20 glasses of wine and $30-$50 entrees. Service was attentive and tables were well spaced. However, my first choice for Entee from the menu (Halibut) was sold out and my 2nd choice (Chicken Milanese) with mashed potatoes and brissel sproats ($29) came out with only the protein being hot. Plate sent back and return promptly with sides at correct temp. My wife order the Trout special and reported it was "very good"

Delicious, romantic and welcoming. Love the owner and staff

One of the best pizza in NYC, good also pasta, of course I’ll come back.
