Slog through today’s Star Ledger’s Munchmobile article and you’ll find those non-stop eaters discovered Bloomfield, specifically Cosimo’s. Of course, Barista was ahead of the curve here, eating there not too long after the restaurant won Bloomfield’s best pizza honors.
Barista readers/fans of Cosimo’s are excited that the eatery is getting its props. In our mailbox:
Today’s munchmobile gives “top dog” honors to Cosimo’s for outstanding Italian food. Loved learning the story relaying the history of the owners. This should send the bluebloods of UM running for a reservation.
Of course, there are always detractors. If you feel differently, add your comments here for posterity. Meanwhile, Bloomfield’s newest addition is getting major rave reviews at Food.
Angelos pizza on Broad St. is numero uno for this gal.
Gotta tell you that I took a bunch of friends to Cosimos in March and we were very disappointed with some of the entrees. Flavorless. Soupy/watery pasta. I have had the pizza and it is a good gourmet pie.
I had dinner at Cosimo’s on Saturday night, AFTER the Star-Ledger review. They were packed, clearly a result of the great press. I worried that after a review like that, swamped with crowds, they would be unprepared for the onslaught. But we had a wonderful dinner, and the service was friendly and efficient. Even with reservations there was a bit of a wait, but the meal was worth it.
