This was such a great reunion dinner venue with old friends. Service was sharp, staff were attentive & on the ball. Food was quick & delicious - presentation was beautiful with all dishes except for one, which was a shame because it was very obvious. The Lamb Ragu Pappardelle was ordered by 2 of the group & for both, the serves were carelessly slopped on the plate. Unacceptable, especially when all the rest were so well presented. A real shame. Come on chef! The dish was described as average, as it turns out. All others were excellent, & my recommendations would be the beef carpaccio - SO good! The risotto & seafood pastas, & the beef cheek - can’t go wrong at all. YUM!

Exceptional food, exceptional staff. What an incredible dinner experience. Lamb Ragu was the standout. Thank you to Michael, Eduardo & the other gentleman (sorry didn’t get his name!) for the unmatched hospitality. Will definitely be back

Amazing Italian restaurant in the heart of One of the most beautiful suburbs in Melbourne. Food is delicious, classic and authentic, well executed and beautifully presented. Service is on point with friendly and knowledgeable waiters running the show.
Classy decor, cosy atmosphere and they also have a beautiful gelato cart:)
Visit with friends, family or a special someone.
100% recommended.

All the staff are enthusiastic, passionate and proud of the work they do and it shows. From Eduardo and the wait staff on the floor who do a consistently excellent job, and to the chefs in the kitchen making every dish sublime. The Capesante, Carpaccio and seafood pasta specials being real stand outs. Definitely recommend coming to Cosi.

My partner and I have been here twice for our 2 year and 3 anniversary, and both times the team (and especially Eduardo) had really made the effort to make it special. They care about the work they do and food served, and it shows. Absolutely fantastic!

We had an awesome first time out at Cosi. Eduardo and the staff ensured we were well looked after. The food and wine were excellent. Highly recommend the melt in your mouth beef carpaccio and the linguine de marinara. Excellence all round. Bravo.

Last week I had lunch at this unforgettable restaurant, where I was served at the highest standard. The food was delicious, the pastas and arancinis, the homemade Pistaccio ice cream was wonderful, I would say it was the best I have tasted in Melbourne, and I think I have had almost try all of them.
All the flavours were enhanced by the excellent service of all the restaurant staff, the supervisor was a delight as were the owners who warmly came over to say hello. 10 out of 10 for Cosi, I will be back for sure.

Beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere for food and or drinks. Don’t order the crumbed steak, so weird. I think the waiter was trying to warn us against it but we didn’t listen. Carpaccio was delicious, will be returning for that!

Fantastic food, wine and service.

The steak and calamari were to die for. I dined by myself and the guys popped over a number of times to have a chat.
