Cotto A Legna

Went to Cotto for lunch at Geneva Festival of the Vine. It was very crowded but we still received great service. A little bit of a wait but I'm sure it was due to the fest. The Lemoncello Spritzer was excellent as well as the Caprese. We were so impressed that we came back for dinner. As you can see, the pizza looked and smelled so good, I couldn't wait to take a bite! Highly recommended!!

Food was delicious. Fried calamari just right, not rubbery. Squid ink pasta dish is the best. I ordered Gorgonzola Filet for the first time and it was great. Only thing about the service was 4 entrées came out at about the same time and it was probably another 10 minutes before mine arrived. Atmosphere OK but very noisy so hard to have a natural conversation. Ample free parking. Right across the street from the Geneva Metra station on 3rd Street so very accessible. One of our 'go to' restaurants for family and friends occasions.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Cotto A Legna. We dined in and were seated right away on a Saturday night despite arriving early for our reservation. I had the Lobster Roll with a side salad, and while it is certainly not a traditional East Coast sandwich, it was certainly a delicious rendition. My husband had the Mortadella Pizza, and he liked it very much, but thought the ball-of-mozzarella on top was a little too strange. I had a couple of leftover slices for lunch the next day, and it tasted far better than I thought it looked. My sister had the Chicken Marsala, and enjoyed it very much. it was her second time in two visits to this restaurant that she ordered it. I wish I had tried it because it looked very good. I also had a couple of pomegranate martinis, which were delish!

We (me + 2) visited this place on a Wednesday evening in January 2023. There were no tables available, so we ordered a few beers on tap and waited at the bar area. I like the selection of beers they had on draft since there were a few local/craft beer options I had never tried before. We were seated at a table within 15 minutes and we received very courteous and friendly service. For food, we ordered the White Margherita and Mortadella (see pictures attached to this review). While there are many pizza options on the menu, we tried the above two. The bread on these pizzas was really good and unique. I didn’t like the Mortadella pizza all that much but the White Margherita was very good. For starters, we ordered the Mushroom Bruschetta which was the best item of everything we ordered. The bread had the right amount of butter and evoo on it. I would order this Starter again when I visit here next time. We also ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana from the Starters menu as well which was well worth it. There are so many items on the menu and while I wanted to try a whole lot of them, however, The atmosphere, lighting, service, cleanliness of the restaurant, bar area, etc. made this restaurant a really good dining experience overall. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good pizza/Italian dishes.
