Cosimo's Pizza

I have been a loyal patron of Cosimo's for years, and haven't had a bad experience there, until now. I made dinner reservations for Friday night because I had family and friends in town. Everything was great up to the point our waitress had the audacity to tell me, " We have another large party waiting, and my boss asked me to tell you it's time to leave."  I was appalled. We had just been served our coffee, and didn't even have the opportunity to finish. I phoned them after we left to say how terrible I thought they were to have asked us to leave, and the response I got was," I'm sorry you felt rushed, but you could have said you were not ready to go, and I never told her to say that." Really? The waitress should have never asked that of us in the first place. And the passive aggressive response was not appropriate. Will NEVER be going back again. They are not the only Italian restaurant in NJ, and they certainly are not the best.

Ate here (the restaurant side, not the pizza parlor) on a Monday night in January 2013.  There were a decent amount of people there, for a Monday,  and the service was appropriately attentive.  The ambiance was nice for a winter evening with floating fireplaces in the middle.  The food, however, was not very impressive.  My eggplant parmesan was under cooked and tough and the cannoli we shared for dessert had delicious filling but the cookie part was too hard.  2 stars for the ambiance and service, but nothing good to say about the food.

These guys think the customer is always wrong.  They made my pizza wrong and they said I was lying for how I asked for it.  Said if I stuck to my story they were going to fire the waitress for the mistake.  Amazing that anyplace could be so lame and dangerous.  And the food was bleh at best.
