I don’t know what the haters are talking about because Cosmica is one of the BEST meals we’ve ever had. Every bite was phenomenal. Pork riblets were to die for, fatty but well balanced with relish. Mushroom pizza was probably the best pizza we’ve ever had. Rigatoni was warm and nostalgic. Brussel sprouts were sweet and light. Service was perfect- attentive but not overbearing. We’ll be back!

Puffy Bread was good. Eggplant Parmesiano was good. The Lasagna was great! The Pumpkin filled Raviolis were buried in Parmesan, and drowned in Brown Butter. The filing was great. But the overall dish not so much. The portion sizes are very lack luster. The inside feels like a weird old Diner located in the parking lot of a Strip Club. The sign for the Restaurant is not visible. But they did have a whiteboard on the sidewalk letting you know where to park, and the Restaurants name.
They do not have basic options for Red Wine. Only two that I’ve never had before. Service was fine. Music level was a bit high. We were not offered any dessert.

What an experience! As a self proclaimed slc foodie I am in awe with this spot! Not only is the staff outstanding so was our service, plus the atmosphere was so chic, and the food was outstanding!
We loved their fries, brussel sprouts and puffy bread to start and that bread is a MUST order! We moved on to our pizza and Bolognese which were both outstanding and made us feel like we were truly in New York City enjoying this food not SLC! Happy to have you here and can’t wait to come back again and again! Don’t skip out on the cheesecake!

We booked a reservation here after our friend read the article in the NY Times, naming Cósmica one of the very best in the state, let alone the nation. For appetizers, we ordered the bluefun tuna, elk carpaccio, and the puffy bread. All very good! 5 stars.
For drinks, we ordered the calabrian corpse reviver, which was good, and I believe the acqua Turismo, also good.
It’s the main dish that dropped the rating for me. I got the chicken- and if was a big portion so that was good; however, the seasoning on it was A LOT of onion. Not too much to where I couldn’t eat it, but enough to where I couldn’t eat any of the additional topping and just ate the chicken itself. It was smothered in sauce and onions. I was concerned my breath would be bad when dinner was over, kinda much (not typical for me). We also ordered the carrots on the side- really good!
My partner ordered the pork Milanese, which was fine. I think they had a special, like lamb or something, and my friend got that. She was meh about it. And my other friend ordered the eggplant parmesan as her main, and she enjoyed it. We also ordered fries, which are the shoe string kind, and they were fine.
Overall, the appetizers shine brighter here than the main dishes.
Parking is not good so plan to park somewhere and walk over.
Definitely need reservations. Our server was very kind.

Was hopeful after reading the article in the New York Times naming it as a “Top 50” restaurant in the country. So I booked a table long in advance for our party of eight at the end of our family road trip out west.
Our experience was pretty much hit and miss and sorry, but generally disappointing. There were some service glitches that resulted in long delays getting our food, it seemed that the restaurant, perhaps the kitchen, was not properly staffed. Apparently one of our two pizzas was initially delivered to the wrong table and it took a good 15+ minutes for the replacement to arrive. The pizzas, when they finally arrived, were delicious and well prepared. The general complaint for myself, and the other people who had pastas in our group was that they were overly salty. The eggplant Parmesan appetizer was rather oddly constructed and somewhat difficult to cut and eat without destroying it. The cheesecake that we had for dessert was creamy and delicious. My Negroni was rather skimpy and the other cocktail we had, the pom-pom daydream was meh.
We were seated near the door under the neon lights, which create a nice atmosphere and I liked the use of neon to create a sort of warm glow.
I doubt I will be back in Salt Lake City anytime soon, but in the event that I am, I would consider giving them a second try

The puffy bread and kale Caesar are very yummy! The pasta was just ok. The shrimp linguine was pretty bad, the flavors were overwhelming. The cheesecake was also ok. Nothing special. The atmosphere is cool and the service was quick and friendly.

Tried Cosmica for the first time and overall, the experience was ok. I previously tried to make reservations online and the open table app would not allow a reservation for more than 5 people. I tried calling several times during their weekday dinner hours and no one would pick up, so I gave up. Fast forward 3 months later, OpenTable finally had option to book for 8 people, so I booked it. Not sure if there was a glitch or not, but glad they fixed it.
The parking is a little rough. I knew that from the previous reviews and knew to not park in the strip club parking lot. Luckily we found a spot in the lot between Cosmica and Dough Miner.
We were sat shortly after arriving on a Wednesday night. It was surprisingly busy and the service was pretty slow overall. We didn’t get our order taken for at least 25 minutes and somehow a puffy bread order made it to our table even though we didn’t order it. Can’t complain, it was good! Once we had our order taken, the server checked in a few times but there was a lot of pause between check ins. We spent more time waiting for the server to come back with our food, drinks, and to box up our leftover. We were there for nearly 2 hours from the time we sat down to the time we paid for the bill. The positive side was that the food was good and well-seasoned, and the restaurant itself was well-kept.
I’m a little disappointed that even though we were celebrating my birthday that we couldn’t even get a free scoop of gelato like most restaurants would happily do.
Might have been an off day, hopefully others have a better experience.

We had heard great things about Cósmica and decided to try it out, and we weren’t disappointed.
Our waiter was Maxx and he provided great service. The hostess was nice and got us seated right away.
For our appetizers, we ordered the house puffy bread with the spicy pomodoro and the heirloom tomato salad, and it was all gone before I could even take a picture. The puffy bread with the pomodoro was incredible and I wish I would have ordered another.
For our main dishes, we got a Littleneck clams pizza, the prosciutto pizza, an order of rigatoni and the bolognese.
We also got an order of fries, which honestly were pretty average. Probably the least exciting thing we got.
The clam pizza was good, the prosciutto pizza was better. Both pastas were really good. Lots of flavor and very hearty.
Definitely a great place to eat. Good vibes and food.
Parking right at the restaurant is tight, but there are plenty of spots nearby. We parked across the street and took the crosswalk over.

I was much looking forward to trying this Italian spot with Roman Italian food- my favorite. The food was delicious. However, it was very packed and it felt like the staff were not fully trained and ready for such crowds. There is also limited parking, so it took over 15 minutes to find parking and ended up having to pay to park. I loved the food but unless it becomes less popular, I probably won’t be back soon.

We made reservations a month and a half ago and it was worth the wait. The food was delicious, best pasta in the city!
