If I was Italian I'm sure this is what it would be like to visit my grandmother's! This is a place that my roommate and her boyfriend have encouraged me to go to for some time now and now I am sad I never went here sooner! I can't imagine all the great Italian cooking I've been missing!
The atmosphere feels old world. The service is fantastic and the food is even better! You start off with a nice plate of vegetables featuring carrots, celery, pickles and peppers. I then had a wonderful hot bowl of white clam chowder which was perfect on this rainy night! The chowder is thick and filled with large pieces of clams and potatoes. Next us was the dinner salad, nothing new but still nice to have soup and salad for dinner. I ordered the classic spaghetti and meatballs. First of all the noodles are perfect, not one overcooked or undercooked noodle on the plate. The sauce is rich and flavorful. The meatballs are perfectly cooked with a nice even color throughout, no pink center or burnt outside here. The portions are large which is perfect for me and I took home half of my entree! for dessert my roommate ordered my friend and I the tiramisu. Now I am not a fan of tiramisu, but she didn't know that. Well, I can proudly say that after eating the tiramisu at Mama cozza's I am now a fan. This was light and creamy, not hard like most places.
I will be back Mama Cozza's, I'll be back!
