Cosi
Cucina
Made a second trip to Cosi Cucina in Clive and
was shocked to find out that I had not reviewed it the first time. Cosi Cucina
has a very nice atmosphere, sophisticated but not stuffy, romantic yet not
sappy. The service the first time was exceptional, this time a little let’s say
weird. The waiter was trying to be funny and failed, and included himself in a
toast due to the fact it was national wine day. But as far as service goes he
was good. As far as the food goes it is as good as it gets, whenever a person
can go to a place and say that they just had the best of something they have
ever had that’s good, but when a person can say they just had the best two that’s
great. Not too often I would get excited about a salad but the Candied Almond
salad left a lasting impression with its feta cheese, blackberry vinaigrette
dressing and oh yes the candied almonds. I am a true meat eater but it would
not take much to convince me to just have the salad. One of the dishes at the
table was the Balsamic
Chicken pictured
here.
It
was as good as it looks. The green beans were amazing! The other dishes were the Ziti Cucina and a tomato linguini both excellent but the dish of the night right shown here
is
causing me to have dreams at night. The Potato Ravioli is the best pasta dish I have ever had. It included bacon
and steak tips in a rich brown sauce. I wish I could have more. Overall the serving
sizes were generous and when you include the price with the quality of the food
the overall value it outstanding, possibly my favorite restaurant in all of
Iowa right now.
