It’s dark, quiet, very nice. Our waitress was great, had good suggestions the fettuccine Alfredo was 10/10. Warm bread
With olive oil for dipping was good, salad was good. Portions are very plentiful.
Only we encountered was at the end of the evening a lot of the staff were ending their day, instead of leaving, they gathered and talked and talked and socialized within ear shot, distracting from the lovely atmosphere and our ability to enjoy our quiet moments. The night manager was very open to our thoughts on this.
Gave us a beautiful and delicious brownie
Highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food, always piping hot. Peter and the whole staff are great, been coming here for years. Anything on the menu is delicious. My favorite is the risotto! Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. Can’t beat food that’s always hot and delicious plus an awesome crew.

It was my first time and was recommended to go here by a friend. I would give them more stars if possible. I got the ziti cucina I think it’s called and it was the best pasta dish I think I ever had! I also had the bruschetta and a chocolate martini which were so good! The staff were so friendly and made the night out with my friend so memorable. Sometimes you really just want a nice night out and good food with good service makes a difference. The cheesecake was to die for honestly I felt in heaven as soon as I had the first bite and we also got the apple cake and I was surprised how much I liked it! the food, the drinks, the service, and the dessert was all so good it’s hard to find places that every thing is top notch these days but this place was 5 stars all the way!

Cosi Cucina Italian Grille
What an incredible place that has serious love made into the food. This definitely going to be my new favorite place and we are going to start a love affair of food.
We tried to eat here and it was a seventy five minute wait so we left. This time we planned better and came at 5 PM. We were seated in a cozy corner booth and the atmosphere was perfect and the smells were amazing.
We started with a bottle of wine. A Malbec from Argentina. It’s always been good with Italian food so we stuck with it. It didn’t disappoint.
The bread was good, but I was here for the food. The menu is solid and I was having a hard time deciding because everything looked good.
I went with the Ziti Cucina Pasta Special. Wow, the flavors happening here are so incredible and intense. The flavor of the zesty tomato sauce made my tastebuds dance. The pasta was perfectly cooked with the spicy Graziano Sausage and sun dried tomatoes in zesty tomato sauce was incredibly delicious. The perfect amount of spice. Adding the meatballs with the Diana on Top just added another level of amazing flavors. I feel like I needed more of the Diana Sauce. The complex flavors complemented the meatballs well. I was in flavor heaven.
Well if it can’t get any better, it does. The owner sends out a small dish of deliciousness. What restaurant does this? This place is incredible and I am addicted now.
That little dish was Bowtie Philly Cheese Steak. I don’t know what all meat was in this but it was incredible. This was made from serious love and someone who takes pride in cooking and what they serve. The peppers were cooked to perfection. Not Mushy, Not Raw, but with the perfect crisp texture. The colors of the peppers with the sliced sausage, Farfalle pasta, and onions were brilliant in the creamy cheddar sauce. Fresh peppers and onions were a complement of perfect flavors. I want to come back and get this just with the beef filet tips.
I couldn’t decide which one to eat because they were just incredible. I was an apprentice chef and I can taste and see the love and time that went into preparing this food. It was not rushed, but perfected with effort and care. What other incredible things could come out of the kitchen? Dessert.
I couldn’t decide which one and based on my experience so far I went with three and they were all amazing and delicious.
The Cheesecake, The Hot Apple Cake, and of course, Crème Brûlée.
They were all so incredibly with a little fresh fruit that added nice color. The Crème Brûlée was my favorite. Just so much perfection to end the night.
The service was perfect and everyone was welcoming and friendly.
I must go back to get the Beef Tenderloin Filet with Gorgonzola. If it comes out like this amazing stuff this will be an incredible love affair of food, because my tastebuds were seriously molested by all incredible flavors in this food. I left with leftovers and after the show I had a couple bites to see if maybe I was dreaming, but no this food is amazing.

We arrived late on a Saturday night without a reservation during a very busy time and we had a large party. Yet the hostess and wait staff were so accommodating and helpful.
The ambiance was great…beautiful, quiet, dimly lit, with a rose and candle on our table. We ordered pizza and pasta, and all of the food was phenomenal! The Ziti Cucina was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, and the pizzas were incredible.
Then they brought us a dish of Bowtie Philly Cheese Steak to say sorry for the wait. But the wait had not been unreasonable in the least, especially because we had shown up late on a Saturday night. Yet they could tell it had been a long day for all of us and they just wanted us to have a great experience (which we were).
As we were leaving the restaurant to start a long drive home to a different state, they handed us a dessert to tell us thanks for coming. And the dessert was amazing.
We were all blown away at how beautiful, delicious, kind, and gracious everyone was. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Des Moines!

I love this restaurant. It’s very expensive for us so we only visit once in a while but it’s always worthwhile. The ziti cucina is their most popular dish for a reason, it’s amazing! I also ordered the gorgonzola side salad which was fantastic, I wish I had taken a picture of that too.

Absolutely incredible dining experience! This was our first time here and everyone was so welcoming! My husband ordered the Ziti Cuicina made as the “pasta special” and it lived up to all its rave reviews. I had the Lobster Farfalle and was impressed with the amount of big pieces of lobster in the dish. The sauce is out of this world! The portions are HUGE. We both only ate half our meal.. but we were saving room for the cheesecake. So so good. Can’t recommend this place enough. I know the next time we are in Des Moines we will definitely be coming back!

Great place to have a fine dining experience. Food is freshly made – Great taste and good portion. Ambience is pleasant. Must try for awesome Italian food. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it. Far far better than the big Italian restaurant chains…

We had an amazing experience at Cosi Cucina yesterday. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and welcoming. My husband got the Ziti Cucina with the meatballs and Diana sauce added. I had the pepperoni canzone. Both were flavorful, well-prepared, and plentiful. For dessert, my husband enjoyed the apple cake and I had the cheesecake. It was, without a doubt, the best cheesecake I have ever had in my life. If we ever make it back to Des Moines, we will definitely be back.
