Hearty meat dishes and tasty pasta take the stage at Cotenna. This cozy Italian restaurant serves an extensive menu that includes seafood dishes, grilled meat and traditional pasta favorites like spaghetti and meatballs. Diners get to enjoy their meal in a cozy interior complemented by wood paneling, dim overhead lamps and walls lined with wine bottles. Chef Roberto Passon ensures the richness of each dish by insisting on only using pasta made in-house.

Cotenna offers a fine selection of wine to pair with its menu. Its simple but casual ambiance makes it an ideal pick for everything, from a mid-week business lunch, to a group outing with friends. Open until midnight during the week, and 1 a.m. over the weekend, this restaurant is also an appealing choice for late night dining. Cotenna is open all week.

    Nice and cozy place. Fair price. Food standard or below. Service (Etna) was very good. I would expected much more for a Michelin recommended restaurant. Besides the company, a forgettable experience!

    Fast, pleasant service. Solid pastas, appetizers, and contorni. Good selection of wine by the glass and standard cocktails (standard meant in a good way.) Good value.

    Cotenna has very good food, and while the service was friendly, I absolutely cannot stand restaurants that insist on taking your entire order at once - especially when they aren't even busy. It's bulls**t and purely designed to maximize revenue at the expense of a more relaxed dining experience. I will very likely never return to Cotenna for this reason.
